(Reuters) — A group of Chinese scientists and explorers are looking for international help to organize a new search for the country’s answer to Bigfoot, known locally as the “Yeren”, or “wild man”.

Over the years, more than 400 people have said they saw the half-man, half-ape (半猿) Yeren in a remote, mountainous area of the central province of Hubei, state news agency Xinhua said on Saturday.

Expeditions (探险) in the 1970s and 1980s found hair, a footprint, and a sleeping nest suspected(怀疑) of belonging to the Yeren, but there has been no conclusive proof (确凿的证据), the report added.

Witnesses(目击者) describe a creature that walks upright and is more than 2 meters tall with grey, red or black hair all over its body, Xinhua said.

Now the Hubei Wild Man Research Association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the Yeren.

“We want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot of hard work in the process,” Luo Baosheng, vice president of the group, told Xinhua.

But the team will have to come up with about 10 million yuan ($1.50 million) first, and is talking to companies and other bodies to secure the money, so there is no timetable yet for when they may start, the report added.

China is no stranger to crypto zoology. There are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country. For example, Tibetans have long talked about the existence of the Yeti (喜马拉雅雪人), or “Abominable Snowman”, in the high mountains of their snowy homeland.

1.What the volunteers for this expedition need most is _____.

A. experience B. enthusiasm

C. confidence D. devotion

2.The timetable for starting the trip depends on _____.

A. the number of explorers

B. government’s support

C. the money

D. local people’s guiding

3.According to the text, the underlined word “crypto zoology” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____.

A. the study of mysterious animals

B. the study of human beings

C. dangerous expeditions

D. tourism industry

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. Volunteers for an expedition needed

B. Scientists to look for China’s Bigfoot

C. International cooperation in finding wild animals

D. Yeren appeared in Hubei again

考点：社会科学类阅读

We can make all the jokes we want about taking baths ourselves, but if we are ill in bed and can’t get up, we’ll be thankful to the nurses who help us get clean. While I am not a nurse, and have never given anyone a bath, I would imagine that it would take a lot of sympathy (同情) and patience to do so.

Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems last month were introduced to Cody, a robot that can bathe human beings.

The robot has a base that can be turned to all directions, two human?like arms, and movable wrists (腕). It uses a camera to locate parts of the human body. It then uses bath gloves to clean with a little pressure.

The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles Kemp of the Healthcare Robotics Lab is the senior researcher for the project. In a test run, Cody was able to remove 96% of a test subject’s dirt—not bad for a robot.

But don’t go asking for Cody yet—he’s still a model. Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the place of nurses for this task. Researchers say that Cody will give patients dignity and protect their personal information. I suppose that would depend on the patient. I’m not sure whether a robot using a camera would make me feel very dignified.

Even so, I can appreciate the need. We don’t have enough nurses to go around, and those places that are the most short?handed, for example, nursing homes, are those that have the most patients who are unable to bathe themselves. Still, before I get there, I hope they think of a better way to solve the problem.

1.The writer thinks bathing others must ________.

A．be a lot of fun

B．make you feel thankful

C．take a lot of patience

D．make you feel dignified

2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．Why and where Cody was designed.

B．What Cody looks like and who designed it.

C．What Cody can do and where it will work soon.

D．How Cody works and what has made that possible.

3.We know from the fourth and fifth paragraphs that ________.

A．Cody can bathe patients better than a real nurse can

B．robots like Cody are being produced in large numbers right now

C．Cody can take the place of nurses completely in hospitals

D．researchers think Cody can protect patients’ personal information

4.There is a need for Cody because ________.

A．people are becoming lazier

B．it can bring down the cost of nursing

C．there are not enough nurses

D．there are too many nursing homes

5.In the writer’s opinion, Cody is ________.

A．acceptable but not perfect

B．strange but not creative

C．clever and strong

D．lovely and careful
