Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. That is because its visual processing abilities and fingers work together faster than any human brain. A video of the undefeated robot has been watched by more than 3 million viewers on YouTube since going online at the end of June.
Tokyo University engineering professor Masatoshi Ishikawa has a good-natured response to frustrated human losers who accuse him of essentially creating a robot that cheats. “It is not cheating. Every one millisecond the image processor decides and recognizes the shape the human hand is going to make. And then the robot can make a winnable shape one millisecond later than a human being. Only one millisecond, but a human cannot see this difference because the human eye is very slow,” explained Ishikawa.
At the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory there has been amazing progress which shows the near perfect accuracy of robotics. Such as a robot that can catch a falling egg without breaking it, another one that can tie a knot, and a robot that may not be quite ready for the NBA, but is able to dribble (连击) a ball.
In sports such as baseball and cricket, the misses outnumber (比……多) successes for even the most skilled athletes. That is not so in this award-winning school laboratory. For instance, an intelligent robot is the result of five years of research and a lot of trial and error. And the cost of just one finger on the robot is equal to that of a mini car.
The technology obviously has uses beyond fun and games. Corporations are eager to take advantage of the lab’s technology for industrial and other practical uses. And there is talk of applying it to assist disabled people and improve human capabilities.
1.What brings the robot so much attention on the YouTube?
A. It never loses in the game against humans.
B. Its eyes and fingers can work at the same time.
C. It can do anything whatever people tell it to do.
D. It plays online games much better than any human.
2.Ishikawa’s explanation suggests that the robot .
A. proves to be dishonest
B. is lucky to win the game
C. works slower sometimes
D. responds faster than humans
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The school laboratory is the world first class.
B. The research of robot can’t afford failures.
C. The most skilled athletes seldom fail in sports.
D. Intelligent robots are mostly used in ball games.
4.Which section of a website is the text probably taken from?
A. Sports and games.
B. Human and society.
C. Science and technology.
D. Relaxation and entertainment.

It was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his presentation, Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”
After the talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again. I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I need to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack.
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack”---whether it’s person, a place, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?
1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author________.
A. wanted Jack to autograph her book
B. wanted to be as successful as Jack
C. wanted to make friends with Jack
D. wanted to get help from Jack
2.It can be inferred form the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who________.
A. never replies e-mail
B. likes showing off his wealth
C. seldom takes risks
D. enjoys challenges in life
3.How did the author lose contact with Jack?
A. She and Jack had an argument.
B. She once had no time to contact Jack.
C. Jack was too proud to get along with.
D. She was too upset with her broken dream
4.What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?
A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack.
B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life.
C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal.
D. The harm of blindly admiring others as heroes.
