The 4-year-old boy was mentally disabled, unable to speak in complete sentences and unable to play with other children because of his violent fits(发作) of hitting and biting.
The decision facing one Brooklyn jury(陪审团)was how much a landlord should pay in damages to the boy — named “G.M.M.” in court documents — after an investigation showed he had been living in an apartment illegally coated with lead paint.
Attorneys(律师) representing G.M.M. said $3.4 million was the right number, arguing that the boy would have had a bright career ahead of him; both of his parents had graduated from college and his mother received a master’s degree. But the landlord’s defense put the figure at less than half that — $1.5 million. Attorney Roger Archibald noted that because the boy was Hispanic, G.M.M. was unlikely to attain the advanced education that would provide to such a large income.
The 4-year-old’s case is a rare public look at one corner of the American legal system that explicitly uses race and gender to determine how much victims or their families should receive in compensation(赔偿) when they are seriously injured or killed.
As a result, white and male victims often receive larger awards than people of color and women in similar cases. These differences largely derive from projections of how much more money individuals would have earned over their lifetimes had they not been injured — projections that take into account average earnings and employment levels by race and gender.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Description of the boy’s damage.
B. Situation of the boy’s family.
C. Compensation for the boy’s damage.
D. Advantages of American legal system.
2.What can we conclude from the passage?
A. The boy’s illness resulted from the lead paint of the apartment.
B. The compensation mainly depends on the costs for treatment.
C. The boy would earn a lot of money without the injury.
D. The jury is in favor of the G.M.M attorneys in the boy’s case.
3.What factors seem to affect the jury’s decision?
A. Gender and education.
B. Race and gender.
C. Race and education.
D. Social status and education.
4.What does the author feel about the boy’s case?
A. Angry.B. Satisfied.C. Unjust.D. Optimistic.

What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the University of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that a reality. The team recently introduced a human-shaped kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests. When teatime is over, the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away.
In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (橱柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.
Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge. They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well.
Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (忧虑). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house, manipulating hot pans and sharp knives. The European Commission recently funded(资助) a project to study these concerns. According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, “Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”
1.Compared with Readybot, the Japanese robot ________.
A. is more popularB. performs more jobs
C. moves more quicklyD. looks more like a person
2.Readybot can now be used to ________.
A. drive you aroundB. clean your kitchen
C. prepare food for youD. work for office workers
3.The underlined word “manipulating” can best be replaced by ________.
A. inventingB. avoidingC. controllingD. making
4.In the last paragraph the author says that parents ________.
A. have shown great interest in kitchen robots
B. can’t wait to use kitchen robots in their homes
C. might think that kitchen robots could be dangerous
D. found out how to operate robots safely

Singapore is building an airport where indoor trees, waterfalls and a ‘rain vortex’ sit alongside check-in queues, waiting rooms and baggage carousels(传送带).
Where once sat a car park, there will soon be thousands of trees and plants across 22,000 sq metres of landscaped indoor parklands. This will be joined by a 40m-high indoor waterfall, expected to be the world’s tallest. These are the plans for the new 3.5 hectare ‘Jewel’ development at Singapore’s Changi Airport, scheduled to open in 2018; a five-storey, 134,000 square metre complex, mixing natural outdoor plants with modern airport facilities.
“The aim behind the introduction of such lush(茂盛的) landscaping is purely to provide all visitors with a memorable experience, one where they are surrounded by nature and greenery,”says Philip Yim, Chief Executive Officer of Jewel Changi Airport Development.
Promised sustainability(持续性) measures include “extensive usage of photovoltaic panels(光电板)”to produce renewable energy, as well as encouraging the use of natural lighting and a “high efficiency” air-conditioning system.
The indoor waterfall, named the “Rain Vortex”, will make use of special lighting effects to change at night into what is promised to be a dramatic light and sound show. “The Rain Vortex is one example of how sustainable design plays an important role in the planning of the attraction,” says Yim. ‘In the event of a rain storm, the power of the rain water will flow naturally through the oculus. The excess rain water collected will be used for irrigation of the landscaping at Jewel.’
Yim quotes the popular reputation Singapore enjoys as “the garden city”, where greenery is recognised as an essential part of the urban landscape, an attractive image which clearly inspires Jewel’s design.
However, it remains to be seen whether, beyond the aesthetic (审美的) appeal, Jewel can add genuine environmental things to something as un-environmental as an international airport.
1. What can we learn about the “jewel” development Singapore’s change Airport?
A. It is being built on an old car park at present.
B. It has been planned and is being built.
C. It will be the world’s tallest airport.
D. Acts of kindness can make a difference.
2. To keep the airport developing sustainably, it is advised to .
A. use no electric lights
B. use more air-conditioners
C. make full use of natural water
D. try to produce renewable energy
3.What can we infer about the Rain Vortex?
A. It can transform into a dramatic show at anytime.
B. Its design will be a great success environmentally.
C. It will produce water to irrigate plants.
D. A rain storm may make it look prettier.
