Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance assmart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “social rebots，” capable ofengaging with people. 

Today’s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is morecomplex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcherCynthia Breazeal. 

“Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you’e interacting with someone rather thansomething,” she said .’’And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction thatfeels like a cooperation or partnership.” 

• At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robotsshould have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted tosocial situations.     “Yo

The writer criticizes the parents who_______.

• A.ignore their children’s achievements
• B.are not interested in baking a cake
• C.set high demands upon their children
• D.don’t help out when their kids have difficulties

 When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent ofour time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think ofother persons9 good points, things will be quite different. 

One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughterwhen he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeedin baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing please children more than this kind of parental interest andapproval. 

The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it is excellently prepared,and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. 

Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out toan andience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly toworkers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we shouldnever forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that allsouls enjoy. 

Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life，and you’ll be surprised how that will change yourlife and the world.

• C.were much better equipped
• D.were much more expensive

Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

• A.British Culture
• B.Houses, Not Flats
• C.British Dream
• D.Kinds of Houses

British people don’t like to live in blocks of flats because_______

• A.they want more privacy
• B.flats are too small
• C.flats are in expensive areas
• D.they dislike the neighbors there

A large，detached (独立的）house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The “magnificenthome” is set in a big garden. Of course，this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even asmall detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to thehearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage (村舍）,and if this is a thatched(茅草的）cottage, suggestive of a pre-industrial age，so mush the better. 

Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats (what the Americans call ’’apartment blocks”). Flats，they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in centralLondon, flats are the cheapest kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to liveanywhere else. 

The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold,uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the nexttwenty years many of them were given new “high rise” blocks of flats to live in which，with central heatingand bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hatedtheir new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up. They missed theneighborliness. They couldn’t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely greenspaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didin’t work. The corridors were dark.Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all over the walls.

• B.cottages to flats
• C.modern houses to old houses
• D.city life to country life

This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two students who were taking Organic Chemistry.They did pretty well on all of the tests and the midterms and labs,etc., such that going into the final they had asolid “A” .
