Life in Britain today

Food

Sports

British people don’t do a lot of sport. Only 17% of people go swimming every week. 9% go cycling and 8% play golf. Only 6% people play football (but 32% go to watch it).

Cinema and TV

Films are very popular in Britain, and about 60% of people between 15 and 24 go to the cinema every month. At home, men watch TV for about three hours every day—half an hour more than women.

Holidays

British people love going on holidays. Most of these holidays aren’t in the UK---27% are in Spain, 10% are in the U.S, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain is terrible!

You’ve probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons(信鴿)can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.

Mailman

Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small bottle. The bottle is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.

Lifeguard

From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the sea. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people

Spy

Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars(戰(zhàn)爭). “Spy pigeons” had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy(敵人)land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing. So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people, might actually be helpful.

1. Which part of the carrier pigeon is the bottle tied to?

A. The pigeon’s back.

B. The pigeon’s head.

C. The pigeon’s neck.

D. The pigeon’s leg.

2.What kind of people can the carrier pigeons find?

A. The people in orange life jackets at sea.

B. The people in red jackets in the boats.

C. The people swimming in the ocean.

D. The people lost in the mountains.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. A pigeon could predict what the weather would be like.

B. A pigeon was tied with a small camera around its leg.

C. A pigeon could help us to know the number of the enemy.

D. A pigeon carried the camera to take photos of the enemy land.

4.What kind of jobs are mentioned(提到)for a carrier pigeon?

A. A mailman, a lifeguard and a spy.

B. A trainer, a spy and a police officer.

C. A soldier, a police officer and a mailman.

D. A farmer, a weather reporter and lifeguard.

5.What is the purpose(目的)of writing this article?

B. To teach readers about the lives of wild pigeons.

C. To tell readers about real jobs held by carrier pigeons.

D. To share science fictions about pigeons helping people.

Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答問題)

I, Robot 2: humans vs. robots!

Here is a piece of good news for I, Robot fans: Robot 2 may soon meet the public!

I, Robot, the science fiction action film released in 2004, was such a hot movie that itgrossed（收入總計） $347 million for a worldwide total.

The story is between humans and robots. In 2035, robots serve humans under three laws:

1. A robot may not injure a human being;

2. A robot must obey orders given by human beings.

3. A robot must protect itself as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.

However, with the development of technology, the robots start to have their own thinking. Instead of obeying the orders as they are programmed, they want to protect themselves and rule human beings. A battle between humans and robots is inevitable（不可避免的）.

Do you believe that one day computers may be cleverer than human brains? Are you afraid that robots invented by humans can surpass humans and conquer the world? Let's find the answers in I, Robot 2.

1.What kind of film is I, Robot?

_______________________________.

2.What does the story mainly tell us?

_______________________________.

3.How do robots serve humans?

_______________________________.

4. In what case must robots protect themselves?

_______________________________.

5.What happens to the robots with the development of the technology?

_______________________________.

6.Are you looking forward to seeing the film I,Robot 2? Why?
