Students have to take tests．Sometimes，robots do too．Torobo from Japan is one of these robots．

Torobo is a robot brain with two arms．It is part of a project called"Can a Robot Get into the University of Tokyo？"A group of Japanese scientists started it in 2011．

To go to the University of Tokyo，Torobo has to take Japan's national college entrance exam （高考）．So in 2013，the robot started to take the test with Japanese students．Sadly，Torobo has failed the test every year．It couldn't get a good enough score for the University of Tokyo．This year it was the same．

Torobo has a big database（数据库）．So it is good at knowledge and calculations （计算）．That's why it got high scores in physics，history and math．But Torobo is not good at thinking by itself．So it got low scores in language and writing．

Scientists started the Torobo project to learn about the intellectual abilities（智能） of machines．Now after Torobo's four years of hard work，they may have learned a lot．

According to the World Happiness Report，people who live in Denmark（丹麦） are the happiest in the world．Why？Because they know the secret to happiness﹣"hygge"．But what is"hygge"？

The Danish（丹麦的） word"hygge"（pronounced"hoo﹣ga"） is often translated in English as"coziness"．But coziness paints only part of the picture．It's also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar．It's about spending time alone or spending time with family．

Danish people are very good at"hygge"．For example，they create a"hygge"environment by burning candles in classrooms，kitchens，bedrooms，etc．According to some reports，Danish people burn more candles every year than people from any other European country．

In 1985，there were between 152，000and 163，000giraffe，and they（50）　　（live） in the plains （平原） and forests of Africa．"The number of giraffes（51）　　（fall） by as much as 40percent since the 1980s，"says a new report on endangered wild animals and plants．

Why are there fewer and fewer giraffes？Because humans（52）　　（cut） down many trees to build more houses．And they are also killing the animals（53）　　（eat） their meat．A report from the International Union for Conversation of Nature（自然保护国际联盟） says，"Giraffes（54）　　（disappear） silently in the near future．And it is time that we do something for the giraffe before it is too late．"

People think giraffes are everywhere．Kids'books are full of giraffes，and there（55）　　（be） always giraffes in zoos．But giraffes are in great danger now．Humans should stop killing off certain endangered wild animals and try hard to help save them．

Once upon a time there lived a king called Minos．He ruled the island of Crete．And he also had a terrible monster （怪兽） called the Minotaur．The Minotaur lived at the center of a very large maze（迷宫）．It had the body of a man but the head of a bull．

Minos was a cruel king．Whenever he was bored，he would attack（进攻） a nearby island called Athens．In order to get peace，King Aegeus of Athens made a deal with King Minos．If Minos didn't attack Athens，he would send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to be eaten by the Minotaur．

It was time again to send the children to Crete．Theseus，the son of King Aegeus，could not stand this situation，and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur．He promised his father that if he was successful，he would use white sails（船帆） instead of the black ones to show he was alive．

When arriving in Crete，Theseus met King Minos'daughter called Ariadne．She fell in love with him and wanted to help him．So when the children were sent to the Minotaur，Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string （细绳） and a knife．Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the maze．After he killed the monster，he followed the string and got out of the maze．Ariadne was waiting outside．They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them．

However，on the journey home，Theseus was so full of joy that he forgot to change the color of the sails．As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails，he was so upset and jumped into the sea．Since then，the sea has been called the Aegean Sea in memory of King Aegeus．

58．How often would King Aegeus send seven boys and seven girls to Crete according to the deal？

59．How did Theseus get out of the maze after he killed the monster？
