8、hhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?That is the answer Canadian professors, David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller, who study the relationship between humans and technology, are seeking for after they came up with the idea of
9、building a hitchhiking robot.HitchBOT is built with cheap household items. Thanks to a PC tablet, GPS tracker and camera, hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public, but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks. The smart robot i

Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone. Actually, they are all wrong. The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to V
11、ictoria, British Columbia, a distance of 3,700 miles. It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple.

Up until very recently, the most commonly available methods for treating patients were either
16、through drugs or operations. Gene therapy provides a third option for treatment by transforming or replacing cells with new genetic materials and instructions. Scientists can be very precise in the kinds of changes they make in patients.Gene therapy works by using a delivery system, such as a virus,
17、 to enter a patients body. Once inside the body, the virus combines with a host cell and delivers the new DNA. The proteins then begin to repair the affected cells. New techniques have focused on removing cells from the patients and transforming them outside the body before reintroducing them to the
18、 patients.The two types of gene therapy are called somatic and germline. Somatic therapy refers to changing or replacing a body cell. In this case, the treatment is restricted to the patient only. This will not affect the patients future children because the patients germ (生殖) cells are unaffected.
19、In germline therapy, the patient germ cells are treated, which may affect the patients future generation.This is highly controversial (有争议的) because it is not clear exactly how this might affect them and further generations. For this reason, many countries have passed laws that prohibit this kind of
20、 treatment.Despite the promise of gene therapy, there are still many barriers that need to be overcome before it comes into widespread use. One of the issues is that the use of viruses to deliver DNA may actually cause unexpected problems in patients if the virus grows and attacks the body. Another
21、problem is the nature of many diseases is very complex and spread throughout multiple genes. The use of gene therapy to change a single gene in the body would probably not be sufficient as a cure. Finally, the costs of gene therapy are high. Some gene therapy procedures may cost over$1 million to un
22、dertake and require specialized doctors and equipment.8.What does the underlined word them in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Techniques.B.Cells.C.Patients.D.Proteins.9.What can we learn about gene therapy?A.Gene therapy has been put into practice widely.B.The cells of patients are developed in healthy peopl
23、e.C.Viruses entering the body can mix with host cells and form new DNA.D.Both somatic and germline therapy have side effects on later generations.10.Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A.The disadvantages of gene therapy.B.The promising future of gene therapy.C.The high costs of treatment procedur
24、es.D.The issues related to viruses and complex genes.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Why Gene Therapy Procedures Are Extremely ExpensiveB.Gene Therapy: A Dangerous New After-operation TreatmentC.Gene Therapy: A Contemporary Progressive Treating MethodD.Scientists Are Accurate in Perfo
