    In Mountain View, California, there’s a new pizza shop — Zume Pizza. It has robots and algorithms(计算程序) running the shop. Their job is to solve a familiar problem: it’s football night and you order a ham and mushroom pizza for you and your friends. It arrives later than you’d hoped and it’s cold.

    Zume co-founder Julia Collins says, “Pizza is not meant to sit in a cardboard box. The best pizza comes right out of the oven.”

    In reality, people tend to order pizzas instead of eating them in a restaurant. Most pizzas are delivered in a cardboard box and are not hot when they arrive, so they don’t taste that good. Zume’s solution is a delivery truck which is equipped with 56 mini-ovens.

    Here’s how it works. A customer places an order on the app. Inside the Zume factory, a team of mostly robots puts the 14-inch pizza into its own oven. Whether the truck has five pizzas or 56, it needs just one human worker — to drive and deliver them to your doorstep.

    “She doesn’t have to think about when to turn the ovens on or off,” Collins says. “She doesn’t have to think about what route to take or whom to go to first. All of that is controlled by our algorithm.” Four minutes before the truck is scheduled to arrive at a doorstep, the algorithm starts the oven(or ovens) to finish cooking that order. Each pizza is then put into a special pizza box, which is not made of cardboard. The driver then parks, cuts the pizza with a special knife and delivers it hot.

    When you call a pizza store and are told “It’ll take an hour,” you hang up and it doesn’t get your business. Because Zume is run mostly by robots, it doesn’t have that problem. This week, Zume is beginning to use trucks to deliver to real customers in Mountain View.

    1.Which pizza tastes best, according to the text?

    A. One that is made by a factory.

    B. One that is right out of the oven.

    C. One that is delivered to your home.

    D. One that is packed in a cardboard box.

    2.How does a customer order a pizza from Zume?

    A. By making a call. B. By using an app.

    C. By contacting some robots. D. By stopping a delivery truck.

    3.What does the underlined word, “it”, in the last paragraph refer to?

    A. Zume Pizza. B. The truck.

    C. The robot. D. The pizza factory.

    4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

    A. The Most Popular Pizza Shop B. An Advanced Delivery System

    C. How to Make Pizza More Delicious D. Robots Guarantee Better Pizza

    My students entered the art room with their usual eagerness to see what they would be learning in today’s class. Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation.

    I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadn’t tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to.

    They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artist’s objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique.

    Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos.

    Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique.

    1.Which of the following is one of the benefits of flipped teaching?

    A. Teachers needn’t check students’ homework

    B. Students can control their own learning pace.

    C. Students can choose whatever they want to learn.

    D. Teachers can develop their own teaching methods.

    2.Who plays a central role in the flipped teaching?

    A. The artist. B. The parent.

    C. The teacher. D. The student.

    3.What is the best title for the text?

    A. The flipped teaching I used in art class

    B. Jonathan Bergmann’s flipped teaching

    C. A teaching method spreading the nation

    D. A new painting technique called glue batik
