9、y other people treat that child. Seeing some boys playing baseball, Shay wondered if he could join in. His father knew it difficult, but he also understood if Shay were allowed, it would give him a sense of belonging.Thankfully, Shay was admitted by one boy, whose team was losing by one run（跑垒分）， to
10、 play in the outfield. Though no hits came his way, Shay was still ecstatic just to be in the game, grinning(咧着嘴笑) from ear to ear as his father waved to him. Eventually, the potential winning came while Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture（关头）, let Shay bat and give away their cha
11、nce to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew the hit was impossible. Shay didnt even know how to hold the bat properly. The pitcher（投手）moved in some steps to throw softly so Shay could hit it, but Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher took more steps forward to throw
12、 softly again. This time, Shay made it, hitting a slow ground ball back to the pitcher.The pitcher picked up the ball and could have easily thrown it to the first baseman.

13、eld, far beyond the reach of the first baseman. Everyone started yelling, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever made it. He scampered(惊慌奔跑) down the baseline, wide-eyed and frightened. “Run to second!” Meanwhile, the first baseman had the ball, who could have thrown it to the second

17、tion.CSome people have glibly（轻率地）called it the Chinese burger. But roujiamo, a food that has its origins in northern Chinas Shaanxi Province, is different from what youd order at Burger King, with a far longer 2,000-year-old history. Roujiamo is a thing of beauty a soft but chewy bun filled with sm
18、all pieces of braised（炖）pork.Most amazingly, some customers might show their respect for the pork in this little bun, which was just bathed in the soup that is older than them. Among a sea of tough competition, Lijiarongxi, a restaurant recognized as the best roujiamo place in town, should owe its s
19、uccess to the soup used to slow-cook its meat, which has been braised on the stove since the founder, Mr. Li, first braised it 27years ago. In fact, most restaurants of good fame have an exclusive heritage recipe（家传秘方）for their soups that often date back to decades ago. The soup in Fanji Roujiamo, o
20、ne of Xians best-known roujiamo restaurants, is believed to be more than 80 years old!You might eat the bun quickly in seconds, but like all good things, it should be given time to enjoy. Chefs braise the pork in its decade-old soup for hours and let it sit overnight, making the meat more tender. Su
21、ch tenderly cooked meat is what lends this dish the nickname lao han xi in Xianyang. Thats because the best roujiamo meat is so soft that it should melt in your mouth without having to chew it imagining the elderly customers in question, without a perfect set of teeth.Its also worth noting that like
22、 most types of regional Chinese food, roujiamo varies depending on the city and community. Buns come baked or pan-fried, and for the meat, Muslim communities in Shaanxi often use beef, while people in Ningxia usually choose lamb.8What is right about roujiamo?AA soft but chewy bun with meat.

26、chwarzenegger could heal his skin wound magically, that is, he makes the skin repair itself in less than a second. Recently, according to Mirror, a smart electronic skin like it has been developed, which is as strong, stretchy and sensitive as humans.Previous attempts to electronically copy human sk
27、in have fallen short. Making suitably flexible electronics that can perform delicate tasks while also enduring the bumps and scrapes of everyday life is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered. The previous sensor layer was too weak or too strong, reducing its durability
28、, sensitivity or flexibility, which makes it more likely to break.With the development of 2D sensors and hydrogel (水凝胶), scientists efforts paid off, linking sensor layer with skin functionally and durably. Study author Dr Jie Shen said, Hydrogels are more than 70 percent water, making them very com
29、patible (相容的) with human skin tissues. By prestretching the hydrogel in all directions, applying a layer of nano（纳米）wires, and then carefully controlling its release, we created conductive pathways to the sensor layer that remained complete even when the material was stretched to 28 times its origin
30、al size. Meanwhile, skin electronics kept changing at a spectacular pace.This e-skin can sense temperature and touch from up to 8 inches away, react to things in under one tenth of a second and repair itself more than 5,000 times. The new invention could help monitor a range of biological informatio
31、n, including changes in blood pressure. While the first port of call is medical, the e-skin could benefit a wide range of products one day, such as monitoring the structural condition of furniture and planes.12Why is a cyborg in Judgement Day mentioned in Paragraph l?ATo introduce the topic. BTo inf
32、orm the background.CTo advertise the hit film. DTo recommend Schwarzenegger.13What made the previous attempts fall short?AThe delicate tasks. BThe unsuitable sensor layer.C. The bumps and scrapes of everyday life. DThe compatibility with human skin tissues.14What can we infer about the e-skin from the last paragraph?AIt can sense and react exactly like humans skin.BIt may be used to check
