Getting more followers is something we usually associate with social media or micro messaging apps, But soon we could all have a new type of follower-a robotic one.

Dozens of robots and technology fans gathered in Boston, US, earlier this month for the RoboBusiness conference. The latest developments in the world of robotics were shown to the public and this time the trend was robots following people.

Perhaps the most exciting development on show was the ability of drones（无人机）to follow you from the air, acting as your own personal cameraman or photographer. One example is 3-D Robotics’ Iris⁺ drone, developed by a US-based company.

The drone is fitted with cameras and has a “follow me” function. It connects with your GPS-enabled Android device（设备）, like a mobile phone. Then it flies and follows you around, shooting action footage（影片）of you from above. The soft-ware in the drone makes sure that you’re always in the center of the frame.

It can keep working for 15 minutes, as long as there aren’t too many trees for it to crash into. This could be exciting for anyone who loves action sports or wants to be the star of their own short film.

But what if you want to be one of those celebrities who have helpers carrying all their bags and doing all their chores? A robot called Budgee can help.

Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics is literally a basket on wheels. It is mainly designed to help elderly and disabled people. It is also a good choice for anyone who doesn’t have enough arms for grocery bag, Wired magazine reported. It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.

To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot. Budgee even sends a text message when it can’t keep up with its owner.

“I want you to look at the robot like he’s your buddy, he’s your friend. There’s a relationship you develop with the robot,” Wendy Roberts, CEO of 5 Elements Robotics, told gigaom. com.

It might not be quite the same as robotic assistants we’ve seen in movies such as Disney^’s Wall-E，where robots cater for (满足)our every need，but that idea doesn^’t seem quite so far-fetched(不着边际的)now.

33. The drone developed by a US-based company can         .

   A. decide who to put in the center of the frame

B. fly around you and take videos from above

Marc had worked in the city hall’s engineering department for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map, full of names and places．And then something happened that filled him with shock.

One August afternoon, he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer. He checked the listed details. It was not there. It was a lost, a forgotten street, which existed in the heart of Montreal, not half a mile from city hall, and no one had known. He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart.

At his first glance. Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name. It was exactly like a bottle in shape. With the sun shining on the garden plots, and the blue sky overhead, the street gave him a sense of peace. A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right.

He announced, “I'm from the city engineering department, madam.”

The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down.

“So you have found out at last.” She said, “We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials. Then, after a while, we were sent no notices, so we paid no more taxes. No one bothered us at all. It was a long time before we understood that in some way they’d forgotten about us.”

Marc nodded. Of course, if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall, no inspectors would go there, no tax collectors. All would pass merrily by.

“For several years，the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord. The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died. I have lived here for more than twenty years．I hope to end my days here as well.”

She smiled pleasantly at him, apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces.

“You remind me of my nephew,” she said suddenly. “He was a dear boy. I was heart broken when he died. I’m the last of my family, you know.”

Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors. He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill. His heart warmed to this old lady. “I wonder, ”he said slowly, “I am a good tenant, and I wonder…”

“Oh yes,” she leaned forward eagerly, “you could have the top floor of my house. I'm sure it would suit you. ”

Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can. As far as he was concerned, Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever.

24. The underlined sentence “So you’ve found out at last” shows that the woman was .

25. It can be inferred that Marc__________ .

A. carried a bomb in his pocket

C. it presented the wrong information

D. he treasured the peace in Green Bottle Street

27. From the passage we may know that__________ .

A. the woman’s nephew resembled Marc a lot

C. tenants in Green Bottle Street often had conflicts

D. Marc’s landlord gave away what he had when he died

When children go to camp, they are on their own, sometimes for the very first time in their lives. They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop independence and confidence.

As self-respect develops from learning to be independent, children continues to try new activities. Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.

One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In camp setting, a good counselor(顾问) will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn to give and take, and they learn how to work and cooperate, something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.

The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives.

 In a word, camp does give children fun, friends and fulfillment.
