29、TOKYO—Lonely astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) may soon be getting a robot friend from Japan.

Japan's space agency is considering putting a talking humanoid(有人的特点的) robot on the ISS to watch the work while astronauts are asleep, monitor their health and stress levels and communicate to Earth through the micro­blogging site Twitter.

Japan's space agency JAXA announced this week that it is looking at a plan to send a humanoid robot to the space station in 2013 that could communicate with the ground through Twitter—primarily feeding photos, rather than original ideas —and provide astronauts with “comfort and companionship”．

Following up on US NASA's “Robonaut” R­2 program, which is set for launch on the Discovery shuttle next week, the Japanese robot would be part of a larger effort to create and refine robots that can be used by the elderly, JAXA said in a statement.

Japan is one of the leading countries in robotics and has a rapidly aging society with one of the world's longest life expectancies.

Improving robot communication capabilities could help elderly people on Earth by providing a nonintrusive(无干扰的) means of monitoring the robot owner's health and vital signs and sending information to emergency responders if there is an abnormality, JAXA said.

“We are thinking in terms of a very human­like robot that would have facial expressions and be able to talk with the astronauts，” said JAXA's Satoshi Sano.

The robot was being developed with the advertising and communications giant Dentsu Inc and a team at Tokyo University.

The NASA project has a human­like head, hands and arms and uses the same tools as station crew members. The “Robonaut” called R­2 is intended to carry out maintenance tasks in the station's Destiny lab.

NASA says it hopes that humanoid robots could one day stand in for astronauts during spacewalks or perform tasks too difficult or dangerous for humans.

For now, the $2.5 million NASA robot is limited to activities within the lab.

【1】 According to the passage, a humanoid robot, put on the ISS, shall carry out the tasks except ________.

A. keep in contact with Earth

B. get a friend for astronauts from Japan

C. take care of the ISS sometimes

D. keep an eye on the health of the astronauts

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?

A. NASA is planning to communicate with the space station through Twitter.

B. Japan has the largest number of elderly people.

C. The robot program will eventually benefit the elderly.

D. R­2 program is in the charge of Japan's JAXA.

【3】From the passage we can know ________.

A. robots could completely take the place of human astronauts in the future

B. the robot program, having cost $2.5 million, can carry out all tasks

C. many Japanese universities joined in the robot program

D. future astronauts will become less lonely and more comfortable with the help of the robot

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Back in the 1940s, in my town, everybody knew everybody else. We neighborhood children played freely together on the narrow streets, while from windows and balconies adults kept a watchful eye on us. It was only my lonely friend José Manuel who was forbidden from joining us.

“Look, Evelyn,” whispered Amalia. “He’s up there again watching us play.” There he was, sitting on his balcony floor. He peered sadly down at us through the iron railing. While feeling dangerous, his grandma would not let him play downstairs, no matter how hard he begged. Furthermore, she kept to herself and never smiled, so most of us were afraid of her.

“One day,” Amalia suddenly announced, “I’m going to ask his grandma to let him come down and play. Maybe she is not so serious!” If anyone would have the courage to do that, it was my little sister Amalia.

It was June 23, and that night was the Night of San Juan. For this holiday, the tradition was to go to the beach and at exactly midnight, everyone would walk backward into the sea. People say that doing this three times that night brings good luck. I thought of my friend José Manuel. Perhaps if he did this with us, his luck would change, and his grandma would allow him to play with us outside on the street.

Back on the street we heard the vegetable vendor(小贩) chanting: “I sell cassava, plantains, tomatoes!” He came around every evening to sell his fresh cassava, plantains, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables.

Leaning from her balcony, a big woman lowered a basket that was tied by a rope to the rail. In it was the money that the vendor replaced with two green eggplants.

As we approached our street I saw José Manuel and his grandma out on the second floor. She gave José Manuel money and went back inside. He was about to lower his basket when we thought maybe there was a way we could ask him to join us.
