         As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic
    essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using
    technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other
    hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a
    given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for
    comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
         I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be
    working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect
    to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish
    to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.
         By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be
    trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.
    1.As civilization develops in the direction of technology,________.
    A. the basic essentials of life must be supplied
    B. it is important to supply the basic essentials of life
    C. it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life
    D. it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life
    2. According to the author, we are faced with________.
    A. the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs
    B. the choice of using technology
    C. the choice of earning a standard of living
    D. a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours
    3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?
    A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.
    B. To raise our standard of living.
    C. To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.
    D. To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.
    4. Now most housewives wish to________.
    A. stop doing their housework
    B. do more housework to improve their life
    C. get rid of the heavy burden of their housework
    D. do only simple and light housework
    5. It can be inferred that robots will be invented _________.
    A. to take the place of housewives
    B. to help manage a family
    C. to do the routine of housework instead of human
    D. to provide the daily necessities for man

    　　China has a wealth of classical literature dating from as far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and including the Classics, whose compilation(收集，选编)is attributed to Confucius．Among these, the most important classics in Chinese literature include the Yijing, the Shijing, the Shujing, the Liji, the Chunqiu and the Lunyu．

    　　The earliest and most influential poetic collection was the Chuci, made up mainly of poems by Qu Yuan and his follower Song Yu．The songs in this collection are more lyrical and romantic and represent a different tradition from the earlier written Shijing．During the Han Dynasty, this form developed into the fu, a poem usually composed in rhymed verse except for the introductory and concluding passages, which are often in the form of questions and answers．

    　　Classical poetry in China reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty．The early Tang period was best known for a number of poetic styles including the lushi, an eight-line poem with five or seven words in each line; and the jueju, a four-line poem with five or seven words in each line．The two best-known poets of this period were Li Bai and Du Fu．Li Bai was known for the romanticism in his poetry, while Du Fu was seen as a Confucian moralist with a strict sense of duty toward society．

    　　Later Tang poets developed greater realism and social criticism within their work and improved the art of narration．One of the best known of the later Tang poets was Bai Juyi, whose poems were an inspired yet critical comment of the society of his time．

    　　As the classical style of poetry became redundant(多余的), a more flexible poetic medium, the ci, arrived on the scene．The ci, a poetic form of Central Asian origin based on the tunes of popular songs, was developed to its fullest by the poets of the Song Dynasty．
