Japan has always been at the forefront of robotic technology. Over the years, the robots have worked in banks and hotels, or even served as personal helpers for the old people. Now, a Tokyo university has used avatar(替身) robots to make students "attend" their graduation ceremony without leaving home.

Professor Shugo Yanaka came up with the great idea during the COVID-19 outbreak. He said, "We knew that there were lots of students who would like to attend the graduation ceremony but couldn't do so because of the COVID-19, I suddenly got an idea that students can not only attend the graduation ceremony safely, but also experience something different."

The event, which was held at Tokyo's Hotel Grand Palace on March 28, 2020, started with university president Kenichi Omae giving a speech to the students through a video platform(平台) Zoom. Then began the online graduation ceremony.

Each time a student's name was called out by a host, an avatar robot called "Newme" dressed in graduation caps and clothing, moved to the stage to accept the diploma (毕业证书) from the president. The student could experience the event, and hear the clap and "congratulations" from their teachers through the screen on the Newme's head. Once Mr. Omae gave the diploma to the Newme, the student posed with him for an official graduation photo at home.

Once the COVID-19 is over, Newme creator ANA Holdings has plans to make the machine travel to different place around the world. The company believes it will help doctors treat patients in hard-to-reach places and also make expert get into war areas without putting themselves in danger.

【1】According to paragraph 1, the following statements are right EXCEPT  

A.robots can play different roles in many different field.

B.Japan has been far ahead of the world in the technology of making robots.

C.the university has used avatar robots to attend the graduation ceremony for many years.

C.He was upset because his students might show no interest in it.

【3】Most of students watched Kenichi Ome' speech   .

B.at Tokyo's Hotel Grand Palace

C.through the screen on the Newme's head

【4】What would happen after a student's name was called out by a host?

A.The student would dress in graduation caps and clothing to accept the diploma.

B.Newme would be given the diploma and the student would get an official graduation photo at home.

C.Both A and B.

【5】Why does ANA Holdings believe Newme will play an important role in the future?

A.Because the Newme will take the place of human beings.

23、   Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, TEENS has picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let’s take a look.

Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?

Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won’t help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman eyesight.

If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?

Myopia(近视)can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there’s a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it’s down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.

Do color blind people see the world in black and white?

Color blindness doesn’t usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can’t tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths (波长) of light. If these cells don’t work properly, color blindness occurs.

There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light.

However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.

【1】According to the article, eating carrots_____.

A.stops the brain from seeing

B.doesn’t help you see better at all

C.will give you superhuman vision

D.is good for your eyes to some degree

【2】If both parents have myopia, their child’s chance of having good eyesight is_____.

A.40-67% B.33-60% C.23-40% D.6-15%

【3】What is the cause of color blindness, according to the text?

A.Watching movies for too long.

B.Getting too little exercise.

C.Cone cells not working properly.

D.Changes in the wavelength of light.

【4】What is the purpose of the article?

A.To offer some advice on protecting your eyes.

B.To clear up some misunderstandings about our eyes.

C.To provide help for improving your vision.

D.To explain how bad eyesight and color blindness form.
