   After the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge, another challenge now is hot in India. Indians give rice to their poor neighbours for a charity(慈善)activity which is called "Rice Bucket Challenge". 5 It is about giving a bucket of rice to someone who is in need and taking a picture named "Rice Bucket Challenge" to share online. The aim of the activity is to help the poor and hungry people in India, and the movement's Facebook page has so far clocked up more than 50 ，000 likes. 6 The activity was started by Manju Latha Kalanidhi， a 38-year-old journalist， who thought the Ice Bucket Challenge was a little strange. She said, "Hunger is a disease anybody would connect. " The challenge has gained a lot of support with students signing up in Indian Institute of Management, and more and more people join in it. 7

India is the world's second-biggest rice consumer, with a storage of 21. 2 million tons of the grains. 8 It has suf?fered from mass hunger, and last year was ranked 63rd of 78 countries on the International Food Policy Research Institute's Global Hunger Index.

How to participate in this activity? First, pick up a buck?et of rice from your home and give it to the neighbouring peo?ple who are in need. 9 At last, invite online all your friends and ask them to take up the challenge. It is important to post it on Facebook because it will inspire all your friends to come forward.  All the people get together and make a difference ！

A.Besides, hand the rice bucket over to other people who are in need.

B.It is not an activity involving dumping a bucket of rice on someone's head.

C.The activity raises the public awareness and charitable do?nations to agriculture.

D.The AirAsia India airline says its staff including senior management will join.

E.Then, take a picture and post it on Facebook with "Rice Bucket Challenge".

F.But it is far from enough for this country.

G.The initial inspiration came from the Ice Bucket Chal?lenge.

   We use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as stand-ups(單口相聲演員)in the future? One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London or?ganized RoboThespian's performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.

The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O'Neill and Tiernan Douieb, per?forming the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes―it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over hu?man comedians? too.

"We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do," said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot's programmer. " The machine used this information to decide whom to look at and which gestures to use."

  The robot also has other advantages over human comedi?ans. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Sci?entist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform a recor?ded sound by simply playing it back. It can also act out pro?grammed pieces from Shakespeare or just anything else.

  "Another of the robot's advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy(同感)for RoboThespian than for the human comedians, I feel more relaxed during its perform?ances ,"Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is un?likely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.

  The Queen Mary researchers say they're most interested in how the audience can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it's time for the robot to write some more jokes?

1.Why was RoboThespian originally developed?

A.To help human comedians perform better on stage.

B. To find out if robots could understand human jokes.

C.To see if robots could perform like human comedians.

D.To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes.

2.When RoboThespian gave performances on stage, it

A.imitated the audience's voices to make them laugh

B.was affected easily by an audience member shouting at it

 C.performed completely different jokes from human co?medians

D.recorded each audience member's reaction and acted accordingly

3. What does Celeste Biever think of robot comedians?

A.     He believes the future of comedy lies in them.

B.      He considers their jokes as rather poor and boring.

C.      He thinks they aren't suitable for live performances.

D.     He feels more comfortable watching their perform?ances.

4.What is the article mainly talking about?

A.     The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advanta?ges.

B.     Robot technology used to help us with our daily tasks.

C.     Predictions of the comedy of the future and concern about it.

D.     A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians.

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the US. The restaurants' dishes are not "fast food". They are known as "fast casual".

  Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald's has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014， McDonald's net in?come dropped by about $ 300 million. 丁he January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald's is struggling to get its customers back. Shake Shack is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $ 21 a share to just under $ 46 a share. Being part of the "fast casual" trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the US include Chipotle and Panera.

Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans' restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it's new. It is creative, it is something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms Riggs says, "It's growing by leaps and bounds ， because it meets consumers' needs. They know it's being prepared while they wait and that it's fresh, quality and good-tasting food at reasonable and affordable prices."

Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.

4.  What is the trouble with McDonald's?

A.     Its share goes down to $ 21.

B.     Shake Shack has taken its place.

C.     It's not popular with Americans.

D.     Its sales and income have dropped.

5. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________ .

A.     like to try something new

B.     care only about the quality

C.     don't like fast food any more

D.     pay more restaurant visits to fast casual

6. What does the underlined phrase "by leaps and bounds" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Steadily.                              B. Rapidly.

C. Slowly.                                 D. Normally.

 7.  Which of the following best describes fast casual?

A.    Fresh-made and tasty.

B.    High-quality and expensive.

C.    Farm-to-table and traditional.

  D.   Time-consuming and special.
