What if software could get a car back on track if the driver changes direction suddenly on ice? Or help a stroke (中风) patient smoothly lift a cup?
Bioengineers have developed a mathematical program for a robot that can “see” your intention while performing an ordinary action,like driving straight up a road or reaching for a cup — even if the action is interrupted (打断) .
“Say you’re reaching for a piece of paper and your hand is in mid-reach — your nerves take time to respond to what has happened,” said Justin Horowitz,first author of the study. So,when something unexpected happens,the signal going to your hand can't change for at least a tenth of a second."
In the test,Horowitz employed exactly the situations he described. He analyzed(分析) the movement of research subjects as they reached for an object on a desk,but had their hand pushed in the wrong direction. He used the advanced mathematical program to analyze the action and examine the subjects’ intent,even when there was a disturbance.
The program has extra sensors and deals with information so much faster than people can react. It can predict the way you wanted to move,according to your intention. The car’s artificial intelligence would use it to bring the car’s course more in line with what the driver wanted to do. aIf we hit a patch of ice and the car starts changing direction,we want the car to know where we meant to go ,” he said. “It needs to correct the car's course not to where I am now pointed,but to where I meant to go."
9. The mathematical program can be used to.
A. prevent cars from speeding
B. help the disabled learn to drive
C. predict people’s intended acts
D. warn drivers of possible dangers
10. The underlined part “mid-reach” in Paragraph 3 refers to the time when .
A. the brain sends signals
B. your body reacts to something
C. you react to something unexpected
D. the brain is stuck in a dangerous situation
11. What is stressed about the program in the last paragraph?
A. Its cost. B. Its future,
C. Its function. D. Its structure.
12. Where can we probably read the text?
A. In a car review. B. In a business ad.
C. In a research plan. D. In a science report.
C篇科学家研究出能够读懂人意愿的程序，该程序 可以应用到机器人上帮助人们。
9.C. 细节理解题。由第二段中的a robot that can “see” your intention while performing an ordinary action可知，人们在做一般性的事情时，该程序可 以预测到人们的行动意愿。
10.B. 推理判断题。由第三段中的 your nerves take time to respond to what has happened 可知， mid-reach是指“你的身体对信息的反应过程”。
11.C. 段落大意题。从内容上看，最后一段主要介 绍了该程序的功能。
12.D. 文章出处题。本文主要介绍了一种能够读懂 人意愿的程序及其应用，故很有可能选自科技报 道。

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship,including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 1 Sometimes,it takes years,even a complete lifetime,to trust someone. However,how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
2 With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend,whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. 3 This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship,and this is also true for friendship. 4 While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget,your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. 5 Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs,if they side with you when you need them the most.
A. People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes.
B. You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion.
C. In fact,winning trust is,by far,the most challenging aspect of relationships.
D. Two people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist.
E. No matter how close you are to your friends,you cannot take that comfort level for granted.
F. If your friends share their secrets,there's a good possibility that they have much faith in you.
G. However,people who are fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle.

Most of these singers so far2 (see) music as a "job" because it is a good source of making money.

listening to the clay
When I was a young girl,my father would drop me off at my art class every Saturday morning. Classes were held in the basement of an old building that had been converted into an art school. I loved that basement.
I was determined that my own children would take Saturday art classes. I love those mornings,sitting next to my children and watching them clay(黏土) into dragons,bears,etc. If the g/aze (釉) didn’t turn out like we thought,our wise teacher would tell us with a smile that our unexpected results were “gifts from the (炉) .” She Was encouraging US not to judge our work or ourselves so harshly (苛刻地) but to be free to accent unexpected results willingly. She let US be open to new ways of seeing things,creating,and solving problems,without judgment.
My son started class at age six. When he was handed his first ball of clay,he pushed his finger deeply into the center and said, “Mom,I can feel the heartbeat of the clay." This was the beginning of a lifetime of learning from my children. Years later,when I got particularly frustrated with my inability to make the clay take the shape I had imagined,I remembered my son’s discovery. I took the pwlse (脉搏) of the clay. I asked what it wanted to be. I discovered that my best pieces are done in partnership with the clay.
The work I did in the art school helps my later work. I have learned to take the pulse of life and take note of what other people want and need. Now,wherever I am,I remain open to the “gifts from the kiln.”
1. V. to change or make sth change from one form,purpose,system,etc. to another (in Paragraph 1)
2. adj. feeling annoyed and impatient because you can't do or achieve what you want (in Paragraph 4)

Are we too clean?
In some parts of the world,it seems that 21 (keep) things too clean may cause a health problem. Parents often think that children are always getting dirty. But the 22 (true) is that in countries like the UK,parents clean their homes so carefully 23 children hardly ever come into contact with dirt,and therefore germs (细菌). The result is that one person in ten today 24(suffer) from some kind of allergy (过敏反应) 一three times more than just ten years ago.
Parents who think back to how they used to play as a child will see how much things 25 (change) . Children today spend a lot of time in their rooms. Twenty years ago,our parents thought it was better for kids 26 (play) outside,so we would spend 27 (much) time in the park than at home. We always fell over, 28 we just brushed 29 (our) clean and then kept on playing.
Now research seems to suggest that this is 30 good thing. Early contact with germs helps to protect our bodies against allergies later in life.

Deep in a research lab in New Jersey,16-year-old Alon Millet carefully presses out tiny drops of a special solution(溶液) onto rows of bean(绿豆) he has raised from seed. It's a task he,s patiently performed for nearly three years. He is trying to help in the fight against world hunger.
The US Agency for Inteb iational Development (USAID) — an organization that works to end poverty (贫穷) 一thinks Alon may be onto something very big. The teenager was one of four students to get a US $10,000 award from the agency last year — chosen from among 1,700 secondary schools in more than 70 countries.
Courtney Mason,the program manager for the US Global Development Lab,called Alon’s work the“most promising” among hundreds of projects the agency has reviewed at science competitions across America. “Alon’s seed breeding(培植) will probably change the way plants are grovel in the developing world,making them survive drought and natural disasters,” Mason said.
Alon has some of the usual interests of a teenager,like playing video games,but he also loves to read scientific research papers. One day more than three years ago,Alon was reading about research with his father by an Israeli company that had used a certain solution to make trees grow larger. And that,in turn,helped to produce more paper with fewer trees.
“So I started thinking, ‘What else could this be used for?’ ”Alon said.
He chose the mung bean,which is a main food in the developing world,and got in touch with the company,FuturaGene,who agreed to share some of the solution. He started experimenting. Could he make the beans grow larger and survive bad weather conditions? After two years of measuring,testing and examining,he proved that he could. Now He’s on his 26th experiment with his mung beans.
9. What's the purpose of Alon’s experiments?
A. To write a scientific paper.
B. To help solve the problem of world hunger.
C. To enter a science competition.
D. To win an award from USAID.

Here's some good news for the grim: A new study shows that unhappiness itself has no direct effect on whether people will die before their time. Women in poor health are more likely to be unhappy, ：but their unhappiness does not increase their overall ?总体的) risk of e?rly de?th.
"Earlier research on happiness and health coiifiises cause and effect,” said study co-author Professor Richard Peto. Illness makes you unhappy and causes stress. Illness is the thing causing unhappiness,not unhappiness causing illness. Researchers tracked the health records of 1.3 million women between 1996 and 2001. About one out of SIX in the group said they were generally unhappy. The death rate among the unhappy was the same as that among the generally happy.
In the new study,women who were already in poor health tended to say that they were unhappy,stressed,not in control and not relaxed. aIf you want to be happy,then the main thing you need to do is remain healthy,^ Peto said. aPeople say that if you but your health depend^ on what you do in your daily life. Going around with a positive attitude but still sm (^mg,that does no good to your health. We need to concentrate on the few important practicial causes of early death.".
However,this study does not completely shut the door on the possible health effects of unhappiness,because the researchers only looked at how unhappiness affected a person's risk of dying.“Health is a broader (概念) ,” said researcher Ban-eto. Barreto also noted that the sample only included women who,on average,were in late middle age.Therefore,in my opinion,the debate is not yet closed,Ba?eto said. ^Further research is still needed in the ??eld of unhappiness and medical outcomes."
9.The underlined part “the grim” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to those who are.
A. unhappy B. unhealthy
C. unimportant D. unsuccessful
10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 ?
A. Happiness can improve health.
B. The unhappy have a higher death rate. .
C. Illness doesn't necessarily cause death.
D. Unhappiness doesn’ t directly lead to illness.
11. Which of the following can best sum up Peto’ s idea on health?
A. Rome is not built in a day.
B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Where there is a will,there is a way.
12. What does Barreto think of the findings?
A. They are meaningless.
B. They need improving.
C. They are not clear enough.
D. They mislead some people.
