Lexi is just a little girl frm Canada wh fund herself in a heart-stpping situatin. It started ff as a nrmal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi’s mm, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky rads f the Rckies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car. An unexpected animal ran int the rad. Angela swerved (突然转向) t avid the animal. Unfrtunately, their car was ff the rad, falling dwn a steep embankment (路堤).
The crash was nthing shrt f terrifying. Angela ended up with a brken back. She was uncnscius, and unable t help her babies. Meanwhile, baby Peter’s cries eched in the chas. But Lexi, nly five years ld, didn’t freeze. Instead, she shwed curage that wuld leave many grwn-ups in awe.
She quickly jumped int actin. The little girl, withut even shes n her feet, wrestled free frm her seatbelt and climbed the 40-ft embankment. Once she reached the tp, Lexi did everything she culd t flag dwn a passing car in rder t get help fr her mm and brther.
Lexi’s insistence finally paid ff. A car stpped, and the peple inside didn’t hesitate t help her call fr emergency services. When the paramedics (护理人员) arrived, they fund Angela in a severe state, and her heart had stpped. Thankfully, they managed t bring her back.

A recent study reveals that flat-faced dgs, such as French bulldgs, have difficulty sleeping because f an unusual feature: their head shape. French bulldgs specifically suffer frm increased daytime sleepiness, prbably due t nt getting enugh night-time sleep.
With their big eyes staring right back at the wner, and wrinkles rlled ver their nses, French bulldgs have sht up in ppularity in recent years. But their distinct features and small size cme with a number f health issues.
The researchers studied the sleep patterns f 92 dgs accmpanied by their wners. They fund that cmpared with ther dgs, the flat-faced dgs experience a lnger perid f rapid eye mvement (REM), regarded as the stage f sleep with mst vivid dreams where the brain is active while the bdy remains still. Researchers said this was similar t the way babies sleep, suggesting that dgs, like French bulldgs, keep up the sleep patterns f puppyhd. Their night-time sleep is shrter and flat-faced dgs are als mre likely t snring (打鼾). “Sleep deprivatin is increasingly recgnized as a majr cause f suffering in dgs with extreme brachycephaly (短头畸形),” said Dan O’Neill, an assciate prfessr frm the University f Lndn.
The researchers emplyed an electrencephalgram (脑电图) thrughut the dgs’ sleep. They lked particularly at sleep spindles (睡眠纺锤波). They fund that dgs with brachycephaly had an increase in sleep spindles, which in dgs has been assciated with prer learning when it cmes t training.
A researcher said, “We knw that sme f these dgs will sleep with a ball in their muth, and peple think it’s cute, but they’re actually ding it in rder t keep their airways pen.” O’Neill agreed, “Many wners find this phenmenn very funny and pst vides nline shwing hw cmical their dgs are as they sleep with a ty in their muth r with their neck extended r repeatedly waking up t breathe during sleep.”
8. What may lend t flat-faced dgs increased daytime sleepiness?
A. Their tendency t sleep with wners.
B. Their preference fr daytime napping.
C. Their shrter night-time sleep due t the head shape.
D. Their habit f sleeping in uncmfrtable psitins.
9. What d we say abut flat-laced dgs frm paragraph 3?
A. They differ frm human beings in REM.
B. They require less sleep than ther species.
C. They’re less likely t suffer sleep disturbances.
D. They maintain puppy-like sleep patterns as adults.
10. What des the increase in sleep spindles in flat-laced dgs imply?
A. They have a strnger memry during sleep.
B. They have a strng desire t sleep during the night.
C. They are mre likely t succeed in hard training.
D. They may face challenges in learning during training.
11. Why d sme flat-faced dgs sleep with a ty in their muths?
A They want t have pleasant dreams.B. It prevents them frm snring ludly.
C. It helps them maintain an pen airway.D. They enjy playing with tys while sleeping.

Researchers have develped a rbtic sensr that cmbines artificial intelligence techniques t read Braille (盲文) at speeds rughly duble that f mst human readers. The research team, frm the University f Cambridge, used machine learning algrithms (算法) t teach a rbtic sensr t quickly slide ver lines f Braille text.
The rbtic sensr the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by using a cmbinatin f the infrmatin frm the camera and the sensrs. “This is a hard prblem fr rbticists as there’s a lt f image prcessing that needs t be dne t remve mtin blur (模糊), which is time and energy-cnsuming,” said Parth Ptdar frm Cambridge’s Department f Engineering.
“There are existing rbtic Braille readers, but they nly read ne letter at a time, which is nt hw humans read, ” said Ptdar. “Existing rbtic Braille readers wrk in a static way: They tuch ne letter pattern, read it, pull up frm the surface, mve ver, lwer nt the next letter pattern, and s n. We want smething that’s mre realistic and far mre efficient. ”
The team develped machine learning algrithms s the rbtic reader wuld be able t “deblur” the images befre the sensr attempted t recgnise the letters. They trained the algrithms n a set f sharp images f Braille with fake blur applied. After the algrithms had learned t deblur the letters, they used a cmputer visin mdel t detect and classify each character.
Once the algrithms were incrprated, the researchers tested their render by sliding it quickly alng rws f Braille characters. The rbtic Braille render culd read 315 wrds per minute with 87% accuracy, which is twice as fast and abut as accurate as n human Braille reader.
“Braille reading speed is a great way t measure the dynamic perfrmance f tactile(能触知的)sensing systems, s ur findings culd be applicable beynd Braille, fr applicatins like detecting surface textures r slippage in rbtic manipulatin,” said Ptdar.
In the future, the researchers are hping t scale the technlgy t the size f a humanid hand.
12. What is difficult fr rbticists t deal with in the reading prcess?
A. Ridding f mtin blur.B. Teaching a rbt t learn.
C. Prcessing rbtic sensrs.D. Fixing a camera n the fingertip.
13. What des the underlined wrd “static” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Still.B. Fast.C. Clever.D. Lazy.
14. What did Ptdar want t express in paragraph 6?
A. The gd perfrmance f the rbt sensr.
B The prmising future f their research results.
C. The factrs in making the tactile sensing systems.
D. The way t ensure the accuracy f the technlgy.
15. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Technlgy t be scaled t the size f a humanid hand
B. Rbts trained t read Braille at twice the speed f humans
C. A great way t measure the perfrmance f sensing systems
D. Machine learning algrithms expected t change Braille writing
