In South Korea， many schools hire English teachers from abroad， but as you know， there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea． A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers．
Robots will save schools money．The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20，000 a year． That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea． What's more， robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English．
The robot teacher is called Engkey．She is about one meter tall and is white，egg﹣shaped．She takes a screen as her face． She can move around the classroom while speaking to students， reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms． So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels． But Engkey's voice is not her own． They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines （菲律宾）．There is a camera in each of the robot teachers． With the help of the camera， English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students．
Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now． But they hope that some day all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom．

Some cool inventions are listed in Science Magazine's 25best inventions of 2018． They are "making the world better， smarter and in some cases a little more fun"， according to the magazine's website． Do you want to lean more about some of the inventions？ Let's find out．
● Spark
Spark is a new type of drones （飞行器） made by a Chinese company （公司） in Shenzhen called DJI． It can help people take photos and videos． Spark might be the smallest drone ever made． When folded， it is as small as a can of cola （可乐罐）． The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures（手势）． For example， if you wave （挥动） your hand from left to right， the drone will fly in the same direction． When you want it to land， you just put your hand out． The drone will come to you and land on your hand．
● Social Robot
Robots may not be good communicators． But Jibo， made by US company Jibo Inc， may be different． With a big， round head and round， fat body， Jibo looks like a cartoon character． As soon as you say， "Hey， Jibo．" It will giggle（咯咯地笑）， dance and turn to face you． When it talks to you， it moves its head and body naturally to communicate with you． Although it has no eyes or mouth， Jibo uses animated icons （生动的表情）， such as a smile icon， to show emotions． Right now Jibo can only do some basic things， like taking photos or reading the news to you． But it may learn to do more in the future．

Today is December 15，2030．Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month，you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip．
The interest in trips， 100km above the surface of the Earth， has grown steadily since such a trip began． However， the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission． More low﹣cost spacelines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as ﹩ 3，495． It's very reasonable．
Space tourism（旅游业；观光业）is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade，with the opening of the Starbright Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests．However，accommodation in space is still expensive for the averagehousehold，so the suborbital（亚轨道的）flights with thirty﹣minute weightlessness during the three﹣hour flight will for some time be the most popular trip．
However， the spacelines might in the future face fierce competition between space elevators（太空升降舱）， like the one that is projected to start construction within two years．Once it is fully functional，it will start to ship cargo to space． But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment．Even if the elevator becomes successful，it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the spacelines．
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space． While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of， it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high﹣altitude flight outside our atmosphere． So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space， enjoy a suborbital flight first．
（1）From Paragraph 1， what will happen in January， 2031？
| A． |
A gift card will be taken to Mars． |
| B． |
Mars will be explored for the first time． |
| C． |
Man will go to Mars for the first time． |
| D． |
An affordable space trip will come true． |
（2）The underlined "average" can most probably be replaced by in this passage．
| A． |
common |
| B． |
high﹣income |
| C． |
low﹣cost |
| D． |
low﹣income |
（3）What is the space elevator's purpose of accepting passengers as soon as possible？

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173people living in Nuevo Saposoa，a small village in Peru，South America．However，things went from bad to worse in March 2015after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area．The villagers were forced to use oil lamps，which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce．
Luckily，researchers at the University of Technology （UT） in Lima，Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution．They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil，both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies．The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb．
While that may sound amazing and even impossible，the science behind the ides is quite simple．As plants create their food （using the sun's energy，water and chemicals from the soil），they also produce waste which they return to the soil．Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons﹣the building blocks of electrical energy．The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use．The researchers say a single charge can power a 50﹣watt Led light for two hours﹣enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done．
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015．So far，they have been a huge success!Elmer Ramirez，the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people，especially small rainforest communities，42% of whom have no electricity．

plant food |

plant waste |

Strong earthquakes hit the east of Japan in the afternoon of March 11, causing several meter-high tsunami(海啸), which killed more than 10,000 people in areas along the coast. Several nuclear plants(核电站) at the coast were broken by the earthquake and tsunami. People living near the plants have been asked to move away. People living within 30 kilometers of the first plant are asked to stay indoors and close all windows.
The breaking of the nuclear plants is causing electricity shortages(电力短缺) in Eastern Japan. As a result, electricity is cut off for 3-hour periods in the area of Tokyo and some other areas during daytime. In order to save electricity, some shops, restaurants and tourist places in the areas are closed for some time every day. But all major airports and train lines are still open and operating.
For the above reasons, tourists are advised not to visit the eastern areas in the near future. Visits to Western Japan are not affected by the event. People who plan to travel over the coming weeks and months are advised to pay attention to the situation for a few more days before making decisions. This passage may probably be written by a_ _.
