Then water and starch are added to make a dough.M: It sounds awful.W: Actually the dough is very bland al that point, so the flavorings are added to give it some taste.M: Well, it still sounds a little strange. But I suppose this product will at least be low calorie and high protein. like a health food.W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has a long shelf life, so it won’t spoil quickly. It is also easy to digest and can ha made from types of fish that usually aren’t eaten, or from high grade fish by-products,M: Mm, have you got any samples I might be willing to try the cheese-flavored variety.W: No, none of it seems to be available yet. As I understand it, this fish snack food probably won’t be in the stores for another couple of years. So you’ll have a while to get used to the whole idea.M: A couple of years, ah It may just take me that long. but thanks for telling me about it.

Predictions of many robots in industry have yet come true. For ten years or more, manufacturers of big robots have explained how their machines can make industry more competitive and productive. The maker for (21) robots is over-supplied now, and the driving force of the robotics revolution is (22) to be with makers of machines that handle a few kilos at most."Heavy-robot manufacturers are in some difficulty (23) finding customers. They are offering big (24) just to get in the door. There has been a (25) growth everywhere in the numbers of robots, so we admit we are either deceiving (26) or that the market is slowly growing." said John Reekie, chairman of Colen Robotics. "The following things must happen (27) the robotics revolution to occur. We must achieve widespread robot literacy, (28) there has been a computer (29) program. There must be a robot policy. Finally, some kind of (30) intelligence needs to be (31) ."Colen makes educational robots and machine tools. It is small (32) with companies like ASEA or Fujitsu Fanuc. But Galen with others and departments in universities such as Surrey, Manchester, and Durham possess an advantage (33) the giants. The big companies sell very expensive (34) to businesses with expert knowledge in automation. The (35) companies make robots for teaching people, and now they have realized that there is a need for small. (36) robots that they can meet.The little companies either bring their educational machines (37) an industrial standard or design from the start. One technique that they all adopt is to choose (38) components where possible. The major cost of making (39) their models is the electronics, which will fall in price. There is (40) scope for reductions in mechanical costs. The sue of standard parts, which are easily replaced, should give these robots a mechanical life of something in the order of five years. 21().
A. small
B. educational
C. big
D. business
M: Hi, Claire. How does it feel to be back on campusW: Hi, Gee. Well, to tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings.M: Oh, whyW: I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland.M: That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do Clean the cagesW: This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place breeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild.M: You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the pandaW: Well, endangered species, yes. But not tigers or pandas. I work with whooping cranes and sandhill cranes. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vets to give medical check-ups.M: I can see it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drinkW: We covered ourselves up with cloth and used puppets made out of stuffed crones to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did.M: Cloth Puppets Sounds like fun.W: It was. The cloth and puppets are the key tools. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the junior staff, everybody. You see, baby cranes will become attached to their caretakers.M: So if the caretaker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are.W: Yeah. And their chances for survival aren’t very good. But by covering ourselves and using cloth and puppets the chicks are more likely to seek out other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful.M: A chance of being successful Hasn’t this been done beforeW: It’s been done with sandhill cranes and everyone is optimistic about its work with whooping cranes too.M: If this works, it should increase the number of cranes in the wild.W: Yeah. It’s exciting, isn’t it Why does the woman say she has mixed feeling()
A. She wasn’t quite ready to come back to campus.
B. There are more endangered species in zoos than in the wild.
C. The birds won’t learn how to keep away from people
D. She might change her major.
