A culture guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous eave in the north. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
Persephone is intelligent and it is a human-sized robot. The robot has been in operation for about a month at the Alistrati Cave. Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 meters of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 meters, a human guide takes over.
The idea of creating the robot guide was come up with by Nikos Kartalis, who is the scientific director at the Alistrati site. He had this idea when he saw one on television guiding visitors at an art show. Persephone was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost about 139,000 dollars. "People who once visited are coming back to see the robot guide," said Nikos, “Many foreign visitors couldn't believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave.”
The robot, with a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moves on wheels. It guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to increase her speed. The robot begins the tour by saying: "My name is Persephone. I am the daughter of the goddess Demeter and the wife of Pluto. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave.”
Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. "It is helpful, because it speaks many languages," she said. "There's just a little delay in the touring. Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages. Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere."
28. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Greece. B. The cave. C. The underground. D. The journey. 29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3
A. The outline of the robot. B. The function of the robot.
C. The creation of the robot. D. The operation of the robot.
30. What is the disadvantage of Persephone
A. It stops working halfway. B. It moves very slowly.
C. It mostly amuses children. D. It can only greet tourists in Greek.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Robot Guides Visitors through Greek Cave
B. Robots will Replace Human Tour Guides
C. Greece Displays a Culture Guide Robot
D. Greek Cave Attracts More Tourists

The lettuce grown on board the International Space Station （ISS） was just as safe and nutritious as crops grown on Earth, scientists have found. Study of the lettuce grown on the ISS showed it was comparable to the plants grown on Earth. Its nutritional value was largely the same. They also found that none of the types of bacteria （细菌）were those known to cause disease humans.
Most of the food eaten by astronauts on the ISS is processed and pre-packaged. Over time, however, this stored food starts to lose quality and nutrition. While this is not a problem for astronauts on board, as food from Earth is supplied regularly, for long space flights—like those to the moon and Mars — it could really become a problem.
“Right now we cannot make sure that we will have a diet to meet the needs of astronauts for these longer space missions, so one possible solution will be to supply the packaged diet with fresh produce," said NASA's Christina Khodadad and Gioia Massa, “This space-grown lettuce will provide additional nutrients to the packaged diet. Growing plants may also provide psychological （心理的）comfort when astronauts are far from home. In addition to providing food, plants generate oxygen as well as remove carbon dioxide, which is important in closed systems like the ISS or future moon / Mars facilities," they added.
The biggest problem for growing crops in space, the researchers said, is delivering water, oxygen and nutrients to the roots （根） However, they said that with the right plant growth systems, crops can be grown anywhere. "Ne are continuing to test other crops, with the addition of small fruiting crops like peppers and tomatoes in the next couple of years... We hope soon to get to the point where astronauts will be able to choose the crops that they want to grow," the researchers said.
32. What have scientists found about the space-grown lettuce
A. It has more bacteria. B. It grows bigger.
C. It is less nutritious. D. It is safe to eat.
33. What may happen to food on a long space flight
A. It will cause disease. B. It will be of poor quality.
C. It will soon go bad. D. It will not be delicious.
34. What can be inferred about space planting from paragraph 3
A. It costs a lot and takes long.
B. It will cause danger in closed systems.
C. It can provide powerful seeds for Earth.
D. It favors astronauts physically and mentally.
35. What are astronauts going to do on the ISS
A. Build a plant growth system. B. Study how to water plants.
C. Grow other crops. D. Make food with the space-grown lettuce.
