B An American cancer survivor has become the first person to swim across the English Channel four times on end. Sarah Thomas, 37, completed the great achievement on Tuesday after over 54 hours of swimming. Her record-breaking achievement came just a year after she completed treatment for breast cancer (乳腺癌). In a video on Facebook, a small group of people could be seen cheering on the swimmer from Colorado as she made her final arrival to

　beach at Dover. Supporters congratulated Mrs Thomas on her non-stop swim, handing her chocolate and other gifts. In the video, Mrs Thomas admitted to feeling “a little sick” but said she had been encouraged to keep going by her husband and her team. Before the start of her challenge, Mrs Thomas wrote that she was “fearful” and admitted she was “going to need some luck”. In a Facebook post made on Saturday, she dedicated (奉献) the swim to “all the survivors out there”, adding, “This is for those of us who have wondered hopelessly about what comes next, and have overcome the pain bravely.” After her swim, Mrs Thomas said, “I"m really tired and I"m losing my

It supplies water to more than 36 million people, has changed the desert into farmland, and allows cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas to develop. But satisfying the region"s need for water has come at a price. The river once travelled all the way from Colorado"s Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Now, dams (水坝) control the river"s water for human use. As a result, the river no longer reaches the ocean. Without water, the delta (三角洲) at the river"s mouth has become dry and poor. To bring the delta back to life, engineers recently opened the Morelos Dam near the US-Mexico border to free a temporary burst of water. This pulse flow allowed the Colorado River to reach the sea for the first time in 16 years, helping the river"s delta come alive. The dams built by the US government form a system of man-made lakes. These lakes can store four times the river"s yearly flow. “The lakes are like the river basin"s bank accounts,” says Taylor Hawes. “They provide a place to save up water for not-so-rainy days—like right now.”

　In wetter times, on and off since the 1960s, the Colorado managed to

　complete its journey to the sea. During those rare times, spring floods

　temporarily brought life back to the delta. Seeing the difference a little water

　could make gave scientists the idea for this year"s pulse flow. “Just add water and you get an amazing recovery,” says Eloise Kendy. “The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably (可持续地) for both people and nature. A lot of rivers in the West have problems. We used them to make the deserts bloom and build cities. We didn"t think about the environment. But it"s possible to restore them. If we can do it in the Colorado River Delta, we can do it anywhere.” (

　)10. What does Kendy want to express in the last paragraph? A.Restoring deserts is sustainable for nature. B.Many cities are built on deserts in the West. C.Rivers in the West have been polluted seriously. D.Environmental protection must go with development. (

　)11. What is the main idea of the passage?

　A.An effort to protect the Colorado River from drying. B.An experiment to make the Colorado River flow freely. C.A plan to bring the Colorado River"s delta back to life. D.A way to make full use of the water from the Colorado River. D It"s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer. Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.

　Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your homes. Companies including General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.

　 What"s behind this new robot revolution? It"s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more able. A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the

　television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.

　To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes, it will change things forever. (
