The Rise of Robot Vacuums: A Helpful Cleaning Friend
Robot vacuums are smart machines that help clean our homes. They move around by themselves, picking up dirt and dust, so we don’t have to do all the work. Let’s take a look at the amazing robot vacuum.
Why Robot Vacuums Are Great
The best thing about robot vacuums is how much time they save us. Regular vacuums can be tiring and time-consuming, but robot vacuums clean on their own. We can set a time for them to start, and while they work, we can relax or focus on other tasks.
Cleaning Without Noise
Another advantage is that they work quietly. Unlike regular vacuums, which need someone to hold and operate them, robot vacuums can clean while we’re out. By the time we return, the floors are clean, and there’s no noise to disturb us.
Smart Technology
Robot vacuums are very smart! They have special sensors (传感器) that help them move around the house, avoid furniture, and know when to stop. Some models can even connect to phones, allowing us to control them with a tap.
Things to Think About
However, robot vacuums have limitations (局限). They might not work well on thick carpets or pick up large pieces of dirt. Too much clutter (杂物) can also cause them to get stuck. Additionally, some models can be expensive, so it’s important to think carefully before buying one.
16．What is the best thing about robot vacuums
17．To avoid noise, when can robot vacuums get to work
18．What helps robot vacuums avoid furniture
19．What are the limitations of robot vacuums mentioned in the text (写出一个答案即可)
20．Robots can help people in different ways. Give another example about how robots help people. (答案要与文中例句不同)

People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth and even the air we breathe. Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen. Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.
Plants are also part of the water cycle. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables and grains come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.
When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!
Plants are quite important to humans and the earth. Without plants, the earth would be a very different place.
21．What do we use plants for according to Paragraph 1
22．Where does most of water that a plant takes in go
23．Why does growing your own fruits and vegetables help reduce the amount of rubbish
24．In your opinion what else can plants do for human beings (Write 30 words or more)
