TOKYO—Lonely astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) may soon be getting a robot friend from Japan.
Japan's space agency is considering putting a talking humanoid(有人的特點的) robot on the ISS to watch the work while astronauts are asleep, monitor their health and stress levels and communicate to Earth through the micro?blogging site Twitter.
Japan's space agency JAXA announced this week that it is looking at a plan to send a humanoid robot to the space station in 2013 that could communicate with the ground through Twitter—primarily feeding photos, rather than original ideas —and provide astronauts with “comfort and companionship”.
Following up on US NASA's “Robonaut” R?2 program, which is set for launch on the Discovery shuttle next week, the Japanese robot would be part of a larger effort to create and refine robots that can be used by the elderly, JAXA said in a statement.
Japan is one of the leading countries in robotics and has a rapidly aging society with one of the world's longest life expectancies.
Improving robot communication capabilities could help elderly people on Earth by providing a nonintrusive(無干擾的) means of monitoring the robot owner's health and vital signs and sending information to emergency responders if there is an abnormality, JAXA said.
“We are thinking in terms of a very human?like robot that would have facial expressions and be able to talk with the astronauts,” said JAXA's Satoshi Sano.
The robot was being developed with the advertising and communications giant Dentsu Inc and a team at Tokyo University.
The NASA project has a human?like head, hands and arms and uses the same tools as station crew members. The “Robonaut” called R?2 is intended to carry out maintenance tasks in the station's Destiny lab.
NASA says it hopes that humanoid robots could one day stand in for astronauts during spacewalks or perform tasks too difficult or dangerous for humans.
For now, the $2.5 million NASA robot is limited to activities within the lab.
1. According to the passage, a humanoid robot, put on the ISS, shall carry out the tasks except ________.
A. keep in contact with Earth
B. get a friend for astronauts from Japan
C. take care of the ISS sometimes
D. keep an eye on the health of the astronauts
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?
A. NASA is planning to communicate with the space station through Twitter.
B. Japan has the largest number of elderly people.
C. The robot program will eventually benefit the elderly.
D. R?2 program is in the charge of Japan's JAXA.
3.From the passage we can know ________.
A. robots could completely take the place of human astronauts in the future
B. the robot program, having cost $2.5 million, can carry out all tasks
C. many Japanese universities joined in the robot program
D. future astronauts will become less lonely and more comfortable with the help of the robot

Tips for healthy eating
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel your best. 1.
Base your meals on starch(含淀粉的) foods. Starch foods include potatoes, cereals, rice and bread. 2.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. It’s recommended that we eat at least five portions of different types of fruit and vegetables a day. It’s easier than it sounds. A glass of 100% unsweetened fruit juice can count as one portion, and vegetables cooked into dishes also count.
Eat more fish. Fish is a good source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. 3. But remember that canned and smoked fish can be high in salt. Anyone who regularly eats a lot of fish should try to choose as wide a variety as possible.
Eat less salt. Even if you don’t add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much. About three quarters of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces. 4. Use food labels to help you cut down.
Get active and have a healthy weight. Eating a healthy, balanced diet plays an important part in maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight can lead to heart disease. Being underweight could also affect your health.
5. Some people don’t have breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight. In fact, research shows that eating breakfast can help people control their weight. A healthy breakfast is an important part of a balanced diet, and provides some of the vitamins and minerals we need for good health.
A. Don’t skip breakfast.
B. Cut down on fat and sugar.
C. Just follow these tips to get started.
D. If you eat or drink too much, you’ll put on weight.
E. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure.
F. You can choose from fresh, frozen and canned fish.
G. Such foods should make up around one third of the foods you eat.

It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big argument (爭吵) when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance (煩惱). My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.
I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite (盡管) my best efforts to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.
