Toys and games are fun, but inventing them is serious business. Big toy companies treat it even more serious, because the more toys they sell, the more money they make. They have adults who do nothing but think up new toys. Sometimes they even work in locked rooms so no one can steal their ideas!
But not every new toy is invented that way. Some of the best inventions are made by kids. Thirteen-year-old Casey loved to play golf. He invented a way to make the game more fun. He invented a new golf tee (球座). It is called the Bio tees. Most golf tees are made from wood, but Casey’s tee is made out of recycled paper. It does not harm the environment. Casey started his own company to make his new tee. He’s already had orders for millions of them.
Jessica invented a toy when she was only eight. Jessica likes to jump rope. She jumps alone and she jumps with friends. To jump alone, you need a short rope. With friends, you need a long rope. So Jessica invented a new kind of jump rope. The length of Jessica’s jump rope can be modified (调整). It can be made long to jump with friends. Or it can be made short to jump alone. When you finish jumping, you can even turn the jump rope into a belt. Now Jessica has a business to sell her jump ropes.
Do you have a great idea for a new invention Give your idea a try. It may become the next Bio tee or latest jump ropes.

Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR虚拟现实) experience educated children about the fire disasters (灾害) was done. The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10—12. In the situation, they are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They take part in a set of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learned to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn’t have knowledge of fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to engage, educate and empower the young. “As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events in a real situation yet within the safe environment, ” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools. ” Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. However, the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). “Children don’t need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help, ” said Weber.
(D)23. From the findings, what’s the children’s attitude (态度) towards the new VR experience
A. Doubtful. B. Worried.
C. Uncertain. D. Supportive.
(A)24. Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “engage” in Para. 3
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
(B)25. From Para. 3, we mainly get to know the of the new VR experience.
A. development B. advantages
C. quality D. introduction
(C)26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A. Children make no difference in the fire safety at their homes.
B. VR experiences are mainly designed for children in high school.
C. Well-designed VR can offer children amazingly valuable learning tools.
D. 91% of children believed they weren’t old enough to make safety decisions.

In the near future, the doctors who treat our illness might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies. Some movies have played with the idea of making machines the size of a cell (细胞). Today robot technology has brought the idea closer to the real life. In my laboratory, I’m just trying to build such intelligent, or smart, tiny robots.
Tiny living things, such as bacteria (细菌), have many intelligent actions. If we can make robots copy some of them, it’s very exciting. The way bacteria travel across their environment is unbelievable. At first, they move around without purpose, but when they start sensing food, like an amino acid (氨基酸), they will move gradually in that direction. As an expert making robots, I think it is great to make tiny robots that can do the same thing.
For example, look at something like E. coli (大肠杆菌). It can sense amino acids around it. It can change how it’s moving. It can rebuild or repair itself. In fact, E. coli does all these so well that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are making their tiny robots get free rides from E. coli. And E. coli does all the sensing for tiny robots and directs their movements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tools, like catheters (导管) that can travel deep into your brain to treat a blood clot (血块). Next, we will put tiny robots into the body that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat illness at an early time. Imagine a tiny robot that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can’t be reached with the catheters we are using today.
We may not actually need something as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. We can still build a very useful tiny robot with a low degree of intelligence. For example, if a tiny robot notices a blood clot, it can slowly move in that direction, and carry medicine directly to that part. It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still work.
(C)27. What can we learn about the writer
A. The writer is a middle school teacher.
B. The writer is a dentist from a hospital.
C. The writer is an expert making robots.
D. The writer is an expert making medicine.
(B)28. What are some researchers doing according to Paragraph 3
A. Using tiny robots to sense E. coli.
B. Letting E. coli work for their tiny robots.
C. Changing tiny robots into E. coli’s drivers.
D. Telling tiny robots to direct E. coli’s movements.
(A)29. What does the writer think of the catheters today
A. They will be widely used by doctors in the future.
B. They are not able to get to tinier areas in the body.
C. They will be smarter than tiny robots in the future.
D. They can help doctors take care of patients on time.
(C)30. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. AI plays an important role in developing tiny robots.
B. Tiny robots can run fast and treat a blood clot easily.
C. Tiny robots with a low degree of intelligence are still useful.
D. We still need very powerful artificial intelligence to treat illness.

Go green at school
Hi, guys,
Isn’t it pleasant to study in an environmentally friendly school To develop a green lifestyle, we students can go green at school in smaller ways.
We can do simple things to help save resources. First of all, we should save as much paper as possible. It’s necessary to reuse the textbooks and use both sides of the paper. Second, it’s a good idea to save water. We should drink up all the water in each bottle. Let’s not keep water running when we don’t use it. What’s more, remember to turn off the lights and TVs when we leave the classrooms.
Besides, we should try our best to reduce pollution at school. It’s important for us to take care of the trees and flowers. For us, walk or ride to and from school if possible. I’m sure our school will be more beautiful.
That’s all. Thank you!单元提优测评卷(七)(Unit 7)

As an expert making robots, I think it is great to make tiny robots that can do the same thing.
For example, look at something like E. coli (大肠杆菌). It can sense amino acids around it. It can change how it’s moving. It can rebuild or repair itself. In fact, E. coli does all these so well that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are making their tiny robots get free rides from E. coli. And E. coli does all the sensing for tiny robots and directs their movements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tools, like catheters (导管) that can travel deep into your brain to treat a blood clot (血块). Next, we will put tiny robots into the body that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat illness at an early time. Imagine a tiny robot that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can’t be reached with the catheters we are using today.
We may not actually need something as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. We can still build a very useful tiny robot with a low degree of intelligence. For example, if a tiny robot notices a blood clot, it can slowly move in that direction, and carry medicine directly to that part. It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still work.
