1．Have you ever accidentally walked into the wrong place that end up changing your life？That's what happened to Maceo Thomas of Lakewood，Colorado．One night，Maceo left his home to find a store where she could buy a back staff cane （拐杖）．He weighed over 300 pounds．His doctor，concerned about his health，had suggested Maceo try yoga （瑜伽）．But Maceo could barely walk，needing to use a cane to get around．
He entered what he thought was the right store---only to find black belts instead．He'd walked into the hall of the Rocky Mountain Karate Association．Hale Hilsabeck，owner and director of the studio，greeted him．Maceo told Hale he'd always wanted to learn karate （空手道），but was discouraged because of his weight．Hale told him to come back the next day to begin learning karate and boxing---free of charge．
Maceo began training two to three times，a week．Hale was amazed by his determination． "I was enthusiastic because he kept on showing up．" he said， "I thought he might disappear after the first couple or three times that he was there．But，no．"
Now，over five years later，Maceo weighs 60 pounds less and no longer walks with a staff．He can dance and deliver powerful boxes．I called maceo to find out more．This all happened for a reason，he told me．Most of all，his faith was renewed，both in himself and in a higher power．Maceo's story inspired me．Next time I ended up in a "wrong place"．Maybe I will stay there a minute longer---to see if that unexpected opportunity shows up．

B．He is too fat．
C．He can't walk at all．

2．Stephen Hawking，a world famous British physicist，also wrote a children's book with his daughter．Hawking said the book would be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic． "It explains the wonders of the universe（宇宙），" said Hawking，while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago．
Hawking，is probably the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein．He is an expert on black holes．He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning （and the end） of the universe． "My goal is simple，" Hawking once said． " It is to completely understand the universe，why it is as it is and why it is there at all．"
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking．For a period of time，he had no way to communicate except by blinking（眨眼）．
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side．To communicate，he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse．He selects his words from the screen，which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer（音響合成器）．
"I have had the disease for most of my life，" Hawking once said． "Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work．"
Although Hawking is such a disabled man，he made great achievements．He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years．This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award．It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics（理論物理學(xué)）．

3．When an earthquake hit the Los Angeles area on Monday morning at 6：25 am，the Los Angeles Times had their story published in about three minutes.It was the first media to report on the breaking news.How？
It used a robot.Ken Schwencke，a journalist and programmer for the LA Times said that an algorithm （算法） he created called Quakebot was behind the story.It's the latest example of robot journalism，a developing practice that has interested many news organizations as it could change the game of breaking news.
Schwencke said that when he was woken by the earthquake on Monday morning，he simply got out of bed，opened his computer，and found the robot-written story already finished in the system.All he had to do was click "publish".
The algorithms can produce news stories on earthquakes and crime in the city，and it is then the job of the paper's staff to determine which stories should be developed further.For this reason，Schwencke disagrees with the guess that robo-journalism could replace human writers. "It saves people a lot of time，and for certain types of stories，it gets the information out there in usually about as good a way as anybody else would.It doesn't eliminate anybody's job as much as it makes everybody's job more interesting，" he said.
Check out the robot's original report below：An earthquake measuring 4.7 was reported five miles from Westwood，California on Monday morning，according to the U.S.Geological Survey.The quake happened at 6：25 a.m.Pacific time at a depth of 5.0 miles.In the past ten days，there have been no earthquakes measuring 3.0 and greater centered nearby.
This information came from the USGS Earthquake Notification Service and this post was created by an algorithm written by the author.
（1）In covering the earthquake，the Los Angeles Times was.
A．very serious.
B．open-minded.
C．well informed.
D．highly efficient.
（2）What do we know about Quakebot？
A．It makes printing much easier.
B．It writes news reports all by itself.
C．It's a game designed for journalists.
D．It's used to entertain people at work.
（3）What does the word "eliminate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Affect.
B．Handle.
C．Remove.
D．Defend.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．How a robot journalist does its work.
