21、Have you ever run out of coffee or tea? Found no eggs in the fridge? No bread for the sandwich and the nearest shop is too far away? Well, all that can change in the future.
If all goes well, the intelligent future kitchen will soon help solve all your problems. In the future, all kitchen units will be connected to the Internet. The intelligent future kitchen will give wise advice on planning your menu for the day. Worried about your weight? — It will tell you the right diet and what is good for your health. It will even keep in mind your likes and dislikes!
Designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this smart kitchen promises to pay attention to all your needs. The computer’s system will help keep an “eye” on the fridge. If the fridge is empty, the kitchen will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket. So you don’t have to worry about it at all.
You get home late, and don’t know what to make from the collection of ingredients (原料) in your fridge. A while back you might have ordered a take-out but now, instead of worrying about eating a collection of this and that, you’re excited. You can pull out each vegetable, and pass each one in front of a web camera next to your fridge. A few moments later, a screen on your fridge would display a tasty recipe.
After dinner, you take your plates to a box next to the sink. You don't have to clean them, your machine does. It produces new plates every time you need to eat. Later in the evening, you phone your other half, who is on a business trip half-way around the world.

23、 Harriet Lane and her friend Miss Brown stood in the doorway of the State Dining Room as the florists (花商) carried their large flower arrangements. “I’m sure the prince will be very impressed,” Harriet said. “This is my favorite part. To be honest, I love all the parts of being Uncle’s hostess at the White House. I love planning the dinners and checking the guest rooms. I love showing visitors the gardens.”
Miss Brown smiled. She had taken care of Harriet since she lived with her uncle James. Harriet was only nine when her parents died. Uncle James was often away from home. He was not married, so he asked Miss Brown to be his housekeeper caring for Harriet when he was away. As Harriet grew up, she and Miss Brown became friends.
When Uncle James became the government’s representative(代表) in England, Harriet and Miss Brown traveled there as well. Harriet became a friend of Queen Victoria and her family. Now that Uncle James was president, Harriet and Miss Brown were with him in Washington, D.C. Harriet did many of the jobs that a First Lady would do, even though she was the president’s niece. This was to be the most important party she had planned. Queen Victoria’s son, the Prince of Wales, was visiting the United States. He was coming to dinner at the White House tonight!
While living in Washington, Harriet did more than just plan parties. She worked hard to improve the lives of Native Americans all across the country. She also believed that there should be a national art museum in Washington.
Harriet’s Uncle James was president from 1857 to 1861. When his term of office was over, they returned to their home in Pennsylvania. After Harriet married Henry, they collected artwork all over the world. Later, she gave her collection to the National Gallery(展览馆) of Art in Washington, D.C. Harriet also started the first children’s hospital in the United States.

24、Ashtyn Perry, with other 35 students from Springville, was planting baby sequoias in an area where a wildfire happened last year. The 13-year-old girl has a higher purpose: to plant baby sequoias that could grow into giants and live for thousands of years!
Last year, a wildfire broke out in the California mountain community of Sequoia Crest and destroyed dozens of its signature giant trees. To save the trees, a lot of measures have been taken, including replanting baby sequoias. The efforts are part of a project led by the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, a nonprofit, to plant offspring from some of the largest and oldest trees. Their purpose is to archive the genetics of ancient trees, breed them and replant them.
Sequoias have massive trunks and can grow 90 meters tall. They grow naturally only in a 260-mile (420 kilometers) belt of forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The giant sequoia is the world's largest, and one of the best fire-resistant trees. Thick bark protects its trunk, and its canopy (树冠) is so high that it is out of reach of flames.
In recorded history, large sequoias had never damaged by fires before 2015. Destruction of the majestic trees hit unprecedented levels last year, when approximately 10% to 14% of the estimated 75, 000 trees larger than 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter burned, and thousands more were potentially lost this year.
An initial assessment was recently released last week, saying that climate change and a century of policies that emphasize extinguishing wildland fires are to blame for the fire. In fact, letting some burn can reduce the buildup of undergrowth around the trees and prevent bigger future fires. Hotter droughts have led to more intense fires that have burned through fuels accumulated through fire suppression.
To protect the trees, many measures are being taken, including replanting 150 of the 7-year-old seedlings. Ashtyn said she'd like to return once a year to see how they're growing, and she hopes they become giants.
【1】What did Ashtyn and her friends do to save sequoias?
A.Planting young trees.
B.Protecting the old trees.
C.Preventing the wildfire.
D.Transforming their genes.
【2】What can we learn about the giant sequoia?
A.It's the oldest tree globally.
B.It's easily destroyed by fire.
C.Its canopy is fire-resisted.
D.It's unique to California.
【3】Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To call for immediate action.
B.To prove the fires were severe.
C.To warn the trees are dying out.
D.To show the loss is huge.
【4】What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A.Locals are responsible for the fires.
B.Wildfires are not necessarily bad.
C.Dry weather causes bigger fires.
D.Preventing wildfires is a solution.
