Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

  Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

  There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or drawing. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time.

  When people live together, they should have rules. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”

  One of the teenagers has said something about it, “You have to stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”

  The Cave Crawler mining robot

  Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’ s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W.Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

  One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University's Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart.It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business.

  The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler.It's a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced.It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

  The biggest obstacle, though, is cost.The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it's not clear where future funding will come from.Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past.Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.

  Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don't eliminate the need for human workers.

(1)

The phrase “throw a fit” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

get angry

get shocked

become excited

[  ]

A.

B.

it's a bit smaller than Groundhog

C.

D.

the robot has a real sense of logic

(3)

We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

[  ]

A.

the mine robots will have a very bright future

B.

robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry

C.

there will be no need for human workers in mines

D.

robots in mines have a long way to go

(4)

Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

High-profile mining accidents in America.

B.

Could robots replace humans in mines?

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
  One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack(群)by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to
pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
  Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
A. be just part of their nature
  B. worsen in modern society
  C. occur when they go wild
  D. present a threat to the community
52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.
  A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
  B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
  C. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
  D. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
  A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems
  B. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
  C. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
  D. an extreme measure in obedience training
54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
  A. To avoid being punished.
  B. To show their affection for their masters.
  C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
  D. To show their willingness to obey.
55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
  A. can give the dog more rewards
  B. will enjoy a better family life
  C. can give the dog more freedom
  D. will have more confidence in himself
