IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot. He looks like a real person. He talks to you and plays with you. He can even think for himself and figure out what you need.
It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time. But come to think of it, can you really trust him?
Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they become too similar to humans, people begin to feel uncomfortable.
This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, but instead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor (盔甲) that clearly shows its robot status.
“As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine, even if they project their feelings into it, then they feel comfortable,” Rolf Pfeifer, the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told the BBC.
But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.
A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are “necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people”, such as space exploration and war fighting. But when it comes to taking care of children, 60 percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots become more advanced and complicated, parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them.
No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us.
1.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy.
B. To discuss problems related to designing robots.
C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.
D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.
2.Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?
A. To better protect it.
B.To make it look cool and modern.
C. To make it clearly different from a human.
D. To keep its price down.
3.Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?
A. Objective(客观的).B. Critical(批评的).
C. Admiring.D. Anxious.
4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can.
B. Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human-like robots.
C. Robots in the future will serve as human beings’ good friends.
D. People won’t be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house.

Over the years, many cities and states have tried to put a tax(税) on sugary drinks. Last week, Berkeley, California succeeded. The city in northern California will charge a penny-per-ounce tax on most sugary drinks. The tax is expected to raise more than $1 million every year to fight against obesity(肥胖).
Makers of sugary drinks are against the tax. They say picking out one product will not solve the obesity problem in America. They also argue that a tax is an attack on personal freedom. “Families should be able to make the choice for their kids without the government stepping in,” said Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesperson for the American Beverage Association(美国饮料协会).
Gindlesperger says that the fight against obesity is more successful when the government partners with industry. He shows how the beverage industry worked with President Bill Clinton’s administration is the 1990s. They introduced water, milk, and fruit juice into a large number of schools, which took the place of sugary drinks. More recently, the beverage industry listened to First Lady Michelle Obama’s suggestion that labels(标签)on sugary drinks be clearer. Containers of up to 20 ounces will show the total calories on the front.
Some people say a tax is a surefire way to help reduce obesity in the U.S. “There is clear evidence that taxes result in less consumption(消费) of sugary drinks,” says Dr. Rachel Johnson, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association. She points to Mexico as an example. The country put up a tax on sugary drinks in January, and sales have already dropped by 10%. What’s more, sales of healthier drinks have increased. Bottled water sales are up by 13%. Milk sales are up by 7%.
Another purpose of the tax is to raise money to fight childhood obesity. Money will be used to build playgrounds, create educational materials, and increase the sales of the healthier foods. “We’ve already helped reduce obesity to some degree,” says Dr. Johnson. “I’m confident that we’re going to see even bigger progress soon.”
1.In the 1990s, sugary drinks in many schools _________.
A.were charged a penny-per-ounce tax
B.were not as popular as they are today

D.were not more than 20 ounces per bottle
2.The underlined word “surefire” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “_________”.
A.good B.stupid C.strange D.new
3.Why does Johnson talk about Mexico?
A.It is her favorite country.
B.She likes Mexican sugary drinks.
C.She tries to show a tax can help a lot.

4.What is the purpose of this text?

B.To show how to fight childhood obesity.
C.To talk about different taxes in Berkeley.

In Britain and other countries,young people sometimes take a“gap year”,a year off between high school and college.This idea never gained a big following in America.Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing,though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon,.Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C.,estimates that in the current first-year class of 1,600 students,only about 25 decided to take a year off.He says this number hasn’t changed much over the years.
Mr.Deacon says the most common reason for taking a“gap year”is to have a chance to travel,but he says international students may take a“gap year”to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education,but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests.Students hoping to be doctors,for example,could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission.Expels say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.
The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called“Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation.’’It praises the idea of taking time off to step back,think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies.It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.
Of course,a gap year is not for everyone.Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college,and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off.Another concern is money.A year off,away from home,can be costly.
Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year.She notes that several books have been written about this subject.She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.It is likely that taking a“gap year”is becoming popular in America.
B.More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.
C.If you want to go to an American university, take a gap year first.
D.Americans hold different opinions towards students’taking a“gap year”.
2.How many reasons for students’ taking a“gap year”are mentioned in the passage?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
3.The essay“Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation.”suggests that______.
A.every student must take a“gap year”before applying for a famous university
B.some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
C.taking a‘gap year’Can make students free from life learning
D.the stress of studies does harm to the students’ health
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Charles Deacon doesn’t support the idea of the students’taking a“gap year”
B.Parents might disagree with the program,concerned about their children’s future.
C.Books and media have contributed to the students’interest in school learning.
D.Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.
