BLast year, I worked in a middle school near my mothers house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me why wouldnt she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (擁抱). I told her she didnt need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (無私的) she was. She helped others in need.

Torobo has been trying to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan. The university, also called Todai, is one of Asias top universities. Since 2013, Torobo has taken the national college entrance exam with other Japanese students. However, the robot has failed to get the required (必需的) score for Todai every year. This year was no exception.Torobo is part of a project called “Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo?” Japans National Institute of Informatics started the project in 2011. Torobo does not walk around. It is a robot brain that has arms to complete the test. Researchers of the project want to find out what intellectual abilities (智能) will be replaced by machines. Results show that Torobo has grown in ability year by year. This year it got a score higher than Japans national average(平均分), which is enough to enter other good universities, but not Todai. With its big database, Torobo is good at solving knowledge-based questions and mathematical calculations (數(shù)學(xué)運算). Thats why it got good scores in physics, history and math. But Torobo has a hard time thinking independently (獨立地). As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.Luckily, after four years of suffering, researchers have decided to free Torobo from taking the test. They will grow Torobos ability in the fields its doing well in, so that it can be used in those industries(工業(yè)) in the future.So while Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future!66.

Torobo cant have a bright future because it will never graduate from Todai. B. Torobo will go on taking the college entrance exam.C. Torobo is useless to humans.D. Torobos ability in the fields its doing well in will be better in the future. 70. Why did Torobo get low scores in two subjects?A. Because it cannot solve knowledge-based problems.B.
