　　Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.
　　Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.
　　Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-coopper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the worrface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.
　　Mr. Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”
　　The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to mat the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.
　　21. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.
　　A. appreciate car tires.               B. escape from work
　　C. see the new robot chefs            D. enjoy delicious meals
　　22. What does the underlined word “they”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
　　A. British scientists        B. Household wives
　　C. Cooks at restaurants  D. The robot chef’s arms
　　23. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?
　　A. Sushi   B. Beef        C. Bread    D. Sandwich
　　24. What can we infer from the passage?
　　A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.
　　B. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.
　　C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.
　　D. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.

　　About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.
