Dear Editor(编辑),
I used to be a doctor in a children’s hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned(中毒)by medicines for older family members. The children didn’t know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily opened the bottle that we now use in China.
Some days ago I talked about medicine with an American. He showed me a kind of plastic bottle. The design was very quite simple and I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.
I’m certain that the price of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor, I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful.
Yours,
Li Hua

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it. Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.
Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.
But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in.

   Isaac Asimov is one of the most famous science fiction(科幻小说)writers of all time. He moved from Russia to the United States in 1923.He was a teacher at Boston University and began writing science fiction stories in 1939.His most famous works are the Foundation books and the Robot stories. He died in 1992 at the age of 72.

"There are not many people who have invented a useful scientific term,and although I did it unknowingly,I am not going to let anyone in the world forget it,"said Isaac Asimov. He was talking about the word "robotics" —the study of robot behaviour.

Asimov wrote several stories about robots between 1940 and 1990.One of the special features of the robots in these stories was that they were programmed to follow the Three Laws of Robotics.

The First Law: A robot must not hurt a human being,or allow a human being to be hurt.

The Second Law: A robot must obey orders by human beings unless these orders conflict(冲突)with the First Law.

The Third Law: A robot must protect itself unless this conflicts with the First or Second Law.

In Asimov's stories,the robots must follow these laws so that they do not attack the humans that created them.

Some scientists think the Three Laws of Robotics are hard to realise in real life. On the other hand,some say that the laws are great for science fiction but completely useless in real life. For example,if the laws really worked,robots couldn't be used in wars,as this would break the First Law. Since the army is one of the biggest supporters for robotic research,it is very unlikely that an attempt to follow these rules will happen.

According to Asimov,one thing is certain:"Robots are changing the world and driving it in directions we cannot clearly foresee(预见)."

【小题1】At Boston University, Isaac ________.
A.learned to write stories
B.started to write science fiction stories
C.taught the writing of science fiction stories
D.invented a robot for writing
【小题2】According to some scientists, the Three Laws of Robotics are ________.
A.boringB.important
C.practicalD.unrealistic
【小题3】Based on the Three Laws of Robotics, robots can't be used ________.
A.in real lifeB.in wars
C.in the armyD.in the writing
