Here are some restaurants that are good for kids in downtown Los Angeles.‎ Grand Café Tel: (213) 356-4155‎ Do you need a place that opens as early as your kids wake up? Then go to Grand Café. Families can order breakfast off the menu or enjoy the buffet(自助餐）. Because of the variety, buffets seem to be an easy option for families with picky eaters. There are many options for the different moods of all family members.‎ Nickel Diner Tel: (213) 623-8301‎ Nickel Diner was listed in Los Angeles Magazines as one of “LA’s Best New Restaurants”. The space is small, but the menu is wonderfully large. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, which makes it easy to bring the kids. One of the most attractive things about Nickel Diner is its unique menu of breakfast foods.‎ Lucky Strike Bowl Tel: (213) 542-4880‎ There’s nothing like a good game of bowling to add some happiness to the family outing. Why not take the family to a place where you can bowl while eating? Try their homemade Belgium fries, the mini burgers, flatbread pizza, or crispy tacos. Downtown LA’s Lucky Strike Bowl will never make you and your kids disappointed.‎ Kula Tel: (213) 290-9631‎ Kula is an exciting sushi bar and is a big hit for little sushi eaters.

I really didn't want to come back. But I did. I stayed until my Blue Belt. After that, progressing was a little frightening. But my friends and instructors got me to keep coming.‎ I was progressing well, but that took a turn as soon as I reached the Red Belt. My parents were switching jobs, and it was very difficult to match our schedules so that 1 could come to the dojo. During that year, 1 didn't come to the dojo as much. It was hard for my parents, as well as myself, to be able to fit it into our schedule as often.‎ When I finally started coming regularly, it was bitter for me to see that all of my friends and peers were ahead. And that taught me a lesson: You should never be upset about yourself if other people are achieving something that you aren't. If anything, you should do the opposite for them. After that year, everything was back up to speed, and I entered Level 3. I could not believe how fast my training was going, and I was finally into the Brown Belt.‎ Getting through the Brown Belt tests as a young student, and a girl, was very tough. And here, in one of the last stages before my First Degree Black Belt, I learned the biggest lesson - - I could do anything that I wanted to and I was capable of anything that I set my mind to. I just didn't think I could. But I proved myself wrong, and I was able to do it.‎ Finally, getting my First Degree Black Belt is a dream that comes true, literally. I have been dreaming about these days for months on end, and it never loses the excitement that it gives me. And even after my ceremony, I think I will I look back on this day，and remember every second，every moment.‎ ‎4. How did the author feel when she first got to the dojo?‎ A. Scared. B. Thrilled. C. Annoyed. D. Disappointed.‎ ‎5. What made the author unable to come to the dojo regularly?‎ A. Her dislike of her instructors. B. Her parents' not supporting her.‎ C. Her little progress in the training. D. Her parents' changes of jobs.‎ ‎6. The author thinks that when others did better than you, you should .‎ A. be respectful to them B. be happy for them C. learn from them modestly D. work harder and harder ‎7. Which saying can conclude the biggest lesson the author learned?‎ A. No pain, no gain.‎ B. Well begun is half done.‎ C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.‎ D. All things are difficult before they are easy.‎ C Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever(寻回犬). Once we performed an experiment to see how keen his nose was. There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick carved an X on it, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile, not once but a dozen times into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn't the shape or the size or the look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.‎ The noses of people have about 5 million cells that sense smell. Dogs' noses have anywhere ‎ from 125 to 300 million cells. Moreover, these cells are closer to the surface than cells in our noses, and more active. It has been estimated(估计) that dogs such as Sandy have noses that are a million times more sensitive than ours. Clothes that we haven't worn for week, and places we've only touched lightly indicate our presence to dogs.‎ His ears are also remarkable. He can hear sounds that humans can't and at distances which are astonishing. It is over our head to know and understand that world. Yet we have the advantage of being able to imagine what his experience is like, though he probably doesn't think too much about how we see the world.‎ The environment is the world that all living things share. Living creatures are born into the environment and are part of it. Yet there is no creature who perceives (感知到) all of what is and what happens. For a dog like Sandy a book isn't much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures.‎ ‎8. Why did the author conduct the experiment?‎ A. To train Sandy to pick out sticks. B. To show how fast Sandy found sticks.‎ C. To prove sensitivity of Sandy's nose. D. To teach Sandy to tell different smells ‎9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Support the conclusion with numbers. B. Summarize the previous paragraph.‎ C. Provide some advice for the readers. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined idiom in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Amazing. B. Difficult. C. Reasonable. D. Inconvenient.‎ ‎11. Which of the following best expresses the author's opinion in the last paragraph?‎ A. Worlds to experience. B. An environment to share.‎ C. No environment, no creatures. D. One environment, many worlds.‎ D With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight — month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company's Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.‎ The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or ‎ medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.‎ To accelerate Scout's development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.‎ Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times ——if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.‎ However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.‎ ‎12. What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?‎ A. Final tests. B. The so-called last mile.‎ C. Robots' safety. D. Delivery speed.‎ ‎13. What can we infer about Scout from Paragraph 2?‎ A. It looks like a cooler. B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.‎ C. Its sensors play a key role. D. It will be widely used soon.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined phrase “prior to" in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. Before. B. After.‎ C. In front of. D. Due to.‎ ‎15. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.‎ C. A newspaper. D. A travel brochure.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最住选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ Among the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), the World Health Organization (WHO) has offered basic protective measures to the public against the virus.‎ ‎1.
