A 15yearold boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, he hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn't go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious burns on his body.
YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180,000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That's one person every three minutes. More than 14,000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?
People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences love these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level，”says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.
Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely，” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of You Tube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough? 24. What happened to the 15yearold boy?
A．He got burnt in a traffic accident. B．He played with fire and burned himself.
C．He set fire to a ball by accident. D．He watched an action film on YouTube.
25. What do Clair Mellenthin's words suggest? A．YouTube should examine kids' accounts. B．YouTube users like to copy Greek comedies. C．YouTube affects people greatly. D. You Tube influences me greatly.
26．According to the last paragraph, the author seems to believe that ________. A．YouTube should do more to make sure of kids' safety B．parents should be strict with their kids C．YouTube should make a rule on content
D．parents shouldn't allow their kids to take risks 27．The passage mainly discusses ________. A．how to prevent accidental injuries B．how to become famous on the Internet C．whether YouTube should be open to kids D．whether YouTube should show dangerous videos

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans’ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success. 28.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show _____.

Thanks to this new hands free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this smart suitcase is the technological equivalent of Mary's little lamb—it'll follow you everywhere you go.
The carryon suitcase, currently a prototype, connects to a smart phone app via bluetooth. It has a builtin camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an antitheft alarm to prevent someone snatching it away when you're not looking and it has a backup battery that you can use to charge all your devices.
“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smart phone, and avoiding obstacles，” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We're combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app, press the ‘follow me’ button, the luggage recognizes the specific user and knows to follow and communicate.”
NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization, but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year's time. If it proves successful, they want to use the bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic，” Libman said, “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”
32．The carryon suitcase has many functions except ________. A．following you upstairs B．charging your smart phone
C．giving an alarm when it is stolen D．avoiding obstacles automatically 33．What can we infer from the passage? A．The carryon suitcase is on the market now.
B．Robots have already been widely used in our daily life.
C．The bluetooth pairing technology has great application prospects.
D．Shopping carts are mostly used by disabled and old people at the supermarket. 34.Who designed the carry-on suitcase?
A. An American. B. An Israeli company. C .A Chinese. D. A robot. 35．What's the attitude of Libman towards robotics?
A．Critical. B．Optimistic. C．Skeptical. D．Unclear.
