On March 8, the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.
The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge.

There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a “habit”, 36
How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you’ve done it in a certain way for so long? It’s easy to do as long as you think about it. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 37 It’s a way of doing things that has
become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a tedious(单调乏味的) task.
Let’s pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading the Bible. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 38 Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.
Imprint(铭刻) it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.
After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, \I forgot to...\Keep using the notes if you have to. 39 Some people say it will take over a month to solidify(变得稳固) it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 40 A. What is a \B. Is doing things in an old way good? C. Brushing your teeth is a habit. D. Forming a bad habit is easy.
E. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit. F. If you don’t, you will find a way to do everything but that.
G.That’s something you won’t necessarily have to think about before you do it — habit. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

My heart beat in fear and excitement as I 53 with all my strength.The lamb was delivered with an outpouring,and I’d never seen 54 so beautiful.I was no 55 to see ranch animals being born,but to have a hand 56 it was something I cherished then and will cherish forever.
