Yet as always we women worry about being replaced，me included. Aiko has been created with special sensors (感应器) underneath her immediate“skin”cover. I believe her creator, Le Trung，has other motives(动机). Of course, he says it's not true. She doesn't complain, argue or talk back. She can carry on a conversation and help you with your math homework. She can tell you the weather outside and can speak in English and Japanese. She doesn't require any sleep nor does she complain about a headache or being tired. She can serve tea and give back massages. I'm sure some men out there would view her as the perfect woman or even“superwoman”. So with good reason I say having Aiko around could prove to be bad. As a woman and a wife，I worry about being replaced or even being compared to Aiko. How can you compete with someone or something so perfect like that?

Scientists have been trying to invent robots for a long time. There are many movies and books out there about robots. It looks like those crazy scientists are closer than we thought. Ladies, I think we are fighting a losing battle. So instead of trying to fight it，I guess we have no choice but to join them. Now where is my male robot? Hmm...I want him to look exactly like my Ken Barbie doll. Okay?

On July 18, I, together with my parents, leave for Qinhuangdao at six, which were about 100 kilometers away. As my father was not familiar with the route, so it took us one and a half hours arrive. We first went to the the botanical garden, where there were variously kinds of flowers and plants. At ten o’clock, we set off to pay a visit for the Great Wall in Laolongtou, where we we could see the sights of the Bohai Sea. Touching by the great building, we stayed on the Great Wall to appreciate it for a long time. In the afternoon, we arrived in Yansaihu, which scenery impressed me greatly. They returned at four o’clock, laughing and talking. Tired and happy, we arrived home safe and sound.

The 33yearold adventurer, from Liverpool, has become the first person to visit all 201 countries in the world without using a plane.

Hughes used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days — all on a shoestring(资金微薄) of just $100 a week.

He spent four days “crossing open ocean in a leaky (漏的) boat” to reach Cape Verde on the North Atlantic, was jailed for a week in the Congo for being mistaken as a “spy”， and was arrested trying to “sneak (溜；偷偷地做) into” Russia.

And yesterday Graham Hughes trudged (长途跋涉) into Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic fouryear journey that began in his hometown of Liverpool on New Year's Day 2009.

“I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was that I wanted to see if this could be done, by one person traveling on a shoestring，” he told the Christian Science Monitor. “I think I also wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary place, but in fact it is full of people who want to help you even if you are a stranger.”

Guinness has now confirmed that Hughes, who filmed the expedition for a documentary and raised money for charity Water Aid, has achieved the world record.

“The main feeling today is just one of intense gratitude to every person around the world who helped me get here, by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch, or pointing me in the right direction，” Hughes added.

【1】Which of the following is NOT described Graham Hughes?

A. Globetrotter.

B. Adventurer.

C. The first person traveling around the world not using a plane.

D. Scientist.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A. When he traveled on the ocean, his boat was leaking water.

B. He was put into prison because of being considered a spy in the Congo.

C. He was caught in Russia because he stole something.

D. It was in South Sudan that he ended his epic fouryear journey.

【3】Why did Hughes make the world record that he had achieved into the film — the expedition for a documentary?

A. Because he wanted to be remembered by people all over the world.

B. Because he wanted to raise money for charity Water Aid.

C. Because he only wanted to record his experience.

D. Because he wanted to earn money.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. When he traveled all over the world, he got a lot of help from different people.

C. He often points the direction for others.

D. He is grateful to the people who have helped him.

Dear Mr. Brown,

I’m real glad to receive your letter. As you have seen it, lots of Chinese chose to stick the character Fu on the door upside down during the Spring Festival. This actually expresses their best wish for the new year. In Chinese, the character for “upside down” sounds same as the character for “ to arrive” so this means that happy is arriving. Quite interested, isn’t it?

On the way, I’d like to invite you to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with my family after the College Entrance Exam. It’s a day in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan but we usually eat Zongzi and enjoy dragon boat races. It will be a good opportunity to experience Chinese culture and tradition.

Looking forward to receive your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

The Great Wall

about 21,196 kilometres

15 provinces and cities

more than 2,000 years

A consultant specializing (专门研究) in presentation skills can help you to overcome your sense of panic.Working with a consultant does not indicate that you have a major problem; it is only an approach to receiving guidance on relaxation strategies, such as deep breathing, which can help you deal with public speaking problems with ease.

Consultants can also help you work on your confidence.Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.Even wellestablished public speakers practice techniques such as meditation (沉思冥想) to calm themselves before a public appearance.

It's well worth the time and effort to overcome the fear of public speaking, particularly if talks and presentations are part of your work description.Keep in mind that many of those around you are also struggling with this fear of public speaking.It will help you to become an able speaker if you can prepare beforehand.For example, you can put in time on planning your presentation in detail and practicing it many times in secret.As you get more and more familiar with your material, you'll be able to finetune (微调) the details of your presentation and this will make you a confident speaker.Your speech will become excellent in terms of style and content.

Remember that the more you get into this pattern of feeling good about yourself, the stronger you will feel about approaching events when you have to make a speech.You can also work on physical details such as adjusting your tone (音调) before the presentation by doing some warmup exercises.

In a word, believing in yourself and presenting yourself well can help you deeply impress your audience.And after a few speeches you'll notice yourself overcoming the sense of panic that you now feel in public speaking situations.

When I was six-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We go to the foot of a high mountain which we would climb. I had never done this before and the thought of them made me happy, But half an hour late. I just stopped and sat on the ground, complete silent. My mother patiently explained, “If you try your best, anything are possible. If not, your dreams will never come true. You will never know what beautiful the scenery looks unless you reach for the top of the mountain.” Hearing her words. I stopped cry and started to climb again. Finally I got to the top of the mountain but enjoyed the splendid view.

In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says. However，not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.

Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming(where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington，D. C. where their insurance costs are 16% lower.

“More than 11, 900 male drivers died in U．S.traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers，” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, VS 1.7 deaths for women. ”
