Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.
Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.
Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.
Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it,” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”
People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,” said a family member.
And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.
But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.
“If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place,” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.
Also, Brown is “not brain dead,” as has been reported.
And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting,” says our source.

阅读理解2017·烟台3月诊断性考试Fahad Azad,an engineer in India,invented a robot named DuctBot.The toycar sized DuctBot measured 23 centimeters in length,19 centimeters in width and 9 centimeters in height and weighs just two kilograms.
The robot is designed to snake through dark,narrow air conditioning ducts (管道) and clean them.A pair of LEDs fitted on the robot light up the dirty scenery,so it can be captured (抓拍) by a camera.
In order to control it more easily,Mr Azad chooses to fix DuctBot on wheels.The robot can clean off lots of dirt,as well as dead pigeons and insects.Keeping indoor air in good quality and monitoring carbondioxide levels in buildings with central air conditioning is a challenge.It is important in some places where clean air can mean a difference between life and death,such as hospitals.Dirty air has a bad influence on people’s health.
EPSCO,a Dubaibased company which specializes in improving indoor air quality,read about Mr Azad’s invention in a national newspaper after he had won an international robotics competition.EPSCO had cleaning equipment,but it needed someone to get into those ducts to do the dirty,dangerous work.Across India,for example,the task still falls to children.They are small enough to go through those ducts.
In 2005,Mr Azad who was still at university decided to do something about it.Six years later his own company,Robosoft Systems,has Bluestar,EPSCO and the Indian Navy,some leading air condition makers,as partners.
Mr Azad and his ten employees are currently exploring robot designs to examine oil tanks or sewage (污水) pipes.Their biggest challenge is to make the robots userfriendly enough.Mr Azad hopes that the robot could eventually be operated not by engineers but by workers.There will be lots of difficulties they need to overcome in the future.
1.What can we learn about Ductbot?
A.It is a toy car and popular with children.

答案: D.阅读理解2017·山东省潍坊市五校联合高三下学期期中考试At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me.For example,when I was 12,I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer.My mom was extremely nervous about it.She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico,to always put on sunscreen,not to wander away from my grandmother,and other warnings.She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries,she let me go on my own.As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her.When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college.Once again I found that I differed from my peers:While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own.While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted me more freedom,was that she actually believes in me and trusts me.That means a lot.Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother.I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards;getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important,like education,and made me who I am.I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life.Most of all I respect her.She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.

Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.
The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.
"Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers,” said Miss Gao, “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”

A. the National University of Singapore

3. What Miss Gao said suggests that .

C. she thinks highly of the others’ blogs
D. she loves to read valuable posts
