        The great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year's Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo's 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.

        But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, "In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language."

        Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. "When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, 'It's not too late. We will teach you one word a day' ". Natsuko is Takamizawa's granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother's phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. "Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?" Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. "I can clearly see her English is getting better. It's my joy now."

        The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.

    1. (1) Why couldn't Takamizawa learn English when she was young?
      A . Because English was useless. B . Because she was too young to learn English. C . Because English was forbidden to learn. D . Because she was unwilling to learn English.

        Move over, helicopter parents. "Snowplow(扫雪机) parents" are the newest reflection of an intensive(强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don't sleep through a test, and even calling their kids' employers.

        Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near one's children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children's path to success, so they don't have to suffer failure, frustration(挫折)or lose opportunities.

        It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.

        Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don't ever meet with failure, but it's not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.

        Yes it's a parent's job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren't mature enough to do so. That's why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager's car keys until he finishes his college applications.

        But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?

        "Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills," many child development experts say, "and if parents don't let their children experience failure, the children don't acquire them."

    1. (1) What do we know about snowplow parenting?
      A . It appeared before helicopter parenting. B . It costs parents less than helicopter parenting. C . It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century. D . It provides more than enough services for children.
    2. (2) What does the fourth paragraph mainly say about snowplow parenting?
      A . Its cost. B . Its benefits. C . Its popularity. D . Its ending time.
    3. (3) Why does the author mention parents' taking away car keys?
      A . To show teenagers are no better than babies. B . To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys. C . To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers. D . To show it's correct to help children when necessary.
    4. (4) What's the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?
      A . Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality. B . Children mastering more key life skills than parents. C . Children gaining great success in every aspect of life. D . Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.

        A robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia (痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.

        The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.

    "RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

        Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.

        RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.

        "While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."

    1. (1) How does RAS serve elderly people?
      A . Through sensors. B . Through objects. C . Through a mobile robot. D . Through their daily activities.
    2. (2) What can we know about RAS?
      A . It is the first robot used in daily life. B . Its function remains to be tested. C . It can locate people and do any task. D . It can cook for owners on its own.
    3. (3) What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?
      A . Doubtful. B . Negative. C . Optimistic. D . Uncertain.
    4. (4) What can be a suitable title for the text?
      A . Elderly people leave the nursing home. B . Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot. C . RAS, the first robot to make home smart. D . Older adults have benefited from RAS.
