The elderly residents(居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing.It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia,a serious illness of the mind.Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier.She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
“I like the project a lot.I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.
“It’s good to have a different focus.People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.I’m enjoying the creative activities,and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East,and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson,extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street,one of the first to embark on the project,said:“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions.We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis,director of Notting Hill Pathways,said:“We are happy to be taking part in the project.It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”

One of the most stressful days of Susan McFrederick’s life was watching her son get wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2011.
But after the operation,Susan burst into tears for a different reason:across the cut on their newborn son’s back was a sweet winter scene,hand-drawn on his bandages (绷带).
“There were rolling hills of snow,a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom,” she recalled.“It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family.It was a moment I’ll never forget.”
Susan soon learned the artist was her son’s surgeon,Robert Parry,who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship at a children’s medical center,where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages.
“My first reaction was,‘What is he doing Hey,that’s kind of neat,’” Parry recalled.“I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork.The smiles took everyone’s attention from the surgery.Then I decided to follow suit.”
Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks,and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients’ personalities.From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies,there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn.Most kids want superheroes,sports team logos or princesses,while babies often receive scenes with flowers,trees and sea creatures.During the last 30 years,Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches (伤口缝线) of more than 10,000 children.
“During a time of stress for families,it’s nice to be able to help them smile and laugh,” Parry said.“This is something positive that I can do for them,which is what I like most about it.”
For Parry,the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life,and except for his drawings on bandages,“they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it,” he said.
He’s not ready to retire,but he’s found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.
“I’ve taken up knitting (编织),” Parry said.“Hats,sweaters,gloves—I enjoy it all.But mostly,I enjoy giving everything away.”
8.Susan burst into tears after her baby’s operation because she was 　　　.
A.moved B.amused
C.stressed D.heartbroken
9.How did Parry get the idea of decorating children’s bandages
A.He was motivated by his patients.
B.He was inspired by his colleague.
C.He was required to learn the skill during his internship.
D.He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.
10.Parry’s artworks during the last 30 years show that he 　　　.
A.devoted himself more to art than to medicine
B.knew more about his patients than their parents
C.took into consideration the tastes of individual patients
D.created a large number of works beyond his expectations
11.What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks
A.To get a reward from the artistic circle.
B.To win the admiration of his colleagues.
C.To make a difference in his dull medical career.
D.To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.
D
If you grew up watching the Jetsons,the idea of having a robot helper that cleans and cooks for your family has always been a fantasy.People want to have a robot do the housework and the good news is that great minds are working on it.
Elon Musk announced back in June that his OpenAI robotic institute was working on developing software that would enable off-the-shelf robots to do household chores and various other engineers are working on robots that could accomplish cleaning and organising tasks.The bad news is that experts say we should not expect these robots in our homes any time soon.
“Cleaning is different from other tasks we’ve thought about in robotics,which typically involved manipulating objects,or moving them place to place,”said Maya Cakmak,an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington,to MIT Technology Review.
Cakmak said that to accomplish household chores,robots have to know the right tool for each specific task,the right angle to hold each tool,how to move it,how much pressure to use,how fast to move and more.Think about the variety of tools and techniques you use just to clean your kitchen.It’s much more complicated than just lifting objects and moving them.
Cakmak is teaching robots in her lab through demonstrating cleaning techniques for the robot’s vision system.The robot then imitates the cleaning motion.The goal is to get the robot to learn the correct cleaning motion and to be able to determine if the surface is clean after the action.
Even when that is accomplished,there’s a long way to go.In order for a robot to clean an entire house,it would have to be able to fully understand its environment and make decisions based on the state of each room—something that is beyond the current abilities of artificial intelligence.Cakmak says that she believes houses will also have to be redesigned with machines in mind so that robots can better identify their position within a home and move around in it.
12.How can we describe about household chores for robots
A.Complex and demanding.
B.Simple and easy to handle.
C.Unusual but easy to manage.
D.Dangerous and challenging.
13.How does Cakmak instruct robots to do cleaning work
A.By setting an example to them.
B.By imitating the cleaning motion.
C.By analysing their vision system.
D.By teaching some specific techniques.
14.What can we infer about the future of cleaning robots
A.They’ll reach more consumers.
B.They’ll help solve housework entirely.
C.They’ll still face many challenges ahead.
D.They’ll be equipped with artificial intelligence.
15.Which is a suitable title for the text
A.Varied Styles of Cleaning Robots
B.Benefits from Possessing Robots
C.Cleaning Robots:A Future New Trend
D.Cleaning Robots:A Long Way to Go
Ⅱ.七选五
