纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Imagine someone who has spent the majority of
their life sitting with a sign
on the side of
the road and that very person giving someone their
last 20 dollars.
That’s exactly what Marine
Corps veteran (退伍军人)Johnny Bobbitt，34，did in
October
in Philadelphia.
Bobbitt served in
the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic
(医务辅助
人员)in Vance County， N. C. before he
became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to
where he was because he was discreet about
that.
One night in October， Bobbitt was
sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia
as usual， when Kate McClure of Florence
Township， N. J. was driving home down
Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and
nervous， she got out of the car to head
to the
nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the
nearest gas station， she
ran into Bobbitt and
he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock
the door. Minutes
later， he appeared with a
red gas can. He’d used his last $$20 to buy her
gas.
After that unexpected meeting， McClure
and her boyfriend， Mark D'Amico，
who both live
in New Jersey， visited Bobbitt several times to
deliver gift cards，
cash， snacks and
toiletries. They then decided to create a fund-
raising page so he
wouldn't have to spend the
holidays sleeping on the street.

McClure started the GoFundMe page on
November 10. With the page， the couple
hoped
to raise $$10，000， enough money for his rent， a
reliable vehicle and up to
six months ’
expenses. Bobbitt's story ran in a local paper. By
November 15， more
than 10，000 local people had
made donations through the GoFundMe page and more
than
$$300，000 had been raised.
On
Thanksgiving， Bobbitt was resting in a hotel， his
feet up on the bed， drawing
up a grand plan
for his new life， thanks to several thousand
dollars raised to repay
him for a good deed.
does the underlined word “discreet” in
paragraph 2 most probably mean?

B
Nearly every week， we hear news about the
latest successes and failures in driverless
vehicles. But we hear little about how other
industries are developing this same kind
of
technology. One industry heavily involved in
researching and developing artificial
intelligence， or AI， is agriculture. Companies
are experimenting with high-tech
tools that
can help farmers save time and money， while
reducing environment-harming
chemicals.
One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland.
It created a robot equipped
with AI and
cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The
robot has four wheels to
carry itself through
the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled
arms then
lower and spray the weeds with small
amounts of herbicide (除草剂). Company officials
say the robot can fully operate on its own for
up to 12 hours a day while being powered
by
the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and
positioning technology used to guide
driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control
the equipment through a smartphone.
The
co-founder of ecoRobotix， Aurélien Demaurex， says
the farm robot can kill
weeds with 20 times
less herbicide than traditional methods. This is
because the
