When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn't a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said." I did as he told me and to my surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right. "Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure all your life!

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts(主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest－host relationship in China is much different from that in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non－smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their houses. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke？” But, don't be surprised if they say “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their homes, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their houses, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt__to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest－host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
( )1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ________ hosts in the world.
A. best
B. worst
C. most natural
D. most different
( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________.
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god
C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say
A. It's OK if you smoke here.
B. Let's smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.
D. Smoking is a bad habit.
( )4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage
A. Think back to.
B. Get used to.
C. Look forward to.
D. Keep close to.
( )5. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D. People should understand cultural differences.

The summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year. It’s a right chance to work on different activities that you don’t have much time to do during the rest of the year.
We asked about 2,000 people what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the survey-takers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.
Alexis said, “At school, I’m really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”
Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a café. She told us, “It’s a chance to relax after a hard school year, sleep more, and see my friends more.”
We also asked them if they thought it would be too busy or kind of boring. About half (52%) of the survey-takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.
But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance between being busy and relaxing. Many were worried that they’d be too bored.
How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Survey-takers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored. Among them, 40% said they would be bored compared with only 10% who thought they’d be too busy.

Would you like to build a robot that can open a door, pick things up or even score a goal Students on the robotics team at Discovery School in Okahoma, the US, have already done these things. They won the first place at the State Robotics Championship.
In the competition, there were 66 teams from different middle schools around the state. They got a box of Lego pieces, wheels and motors. Besides building, the team also needed to program their robots.
Each team had the same tasks to perform. So what made the Discovery team so special And how did they score 564 out of 590, the best score
"We use Bluetooth (蓝牙), so we can download information from computer to robot," said Hugo Reyna, an eighth-grader from the Discovery robotics team. For most teams, wires (电线) were the common tool they used to transfer (传输) information between computer and robot. But the Discovery team started researching Bluetooth transfer, a faster and more convenient way, about one year ago. Then they applied the new technology in the competition. And it performed as well as the students hoped.
In one of the tasks, robots had to toss a ball into the goal. As the robots moved, lots of them fell over the wires. But the Discovery team's robot was as flexible as a good basketball player. It won the highest mark in the competition.
In the end, the team from Discovery received an award from Google, showing their achievements in robot technology.
( )1. What do we know about the State Robotics Championship
A. It was held at Discovery School in Oklahoma. B. 66 teams took part in the competition.
C. Each of the teams had a different task D. The winners could directly go to college.
( )2. What made the Discovery team so special

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot is almost certain to break down when it is damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn't know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) n the robot to read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine's software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine's shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it's far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
"It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it's damaged, "says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in the US. "With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem."
( )1. Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged
A. Because they cannot repair themselves. B. Because the computer has changed a lot.
C. Because they have no computers inside. D. Because the computer cannot work if the robot changes.
( )2. The new technology allows the robot to ______ .
A. do housework for humans B. tell people where it is
C. remember a lot of information D. keep working after being damaged
( )3. The underlined word "artificial" in Paragraph 5 means ______ .
A. man-made B. new C. metal D. unusual
( )4. According to the article, what will the robots probably be like in the future
A. More and more evil robots will be created.
B. Scientists will put as many sensors as possible inside the robots.
C. Robots will be able to work well even if the environment changes.
D. There will be robots to help people who lose arms and legs.
( )5. The passage is probably from ______ .
A. a news report B. an advertisement C. a travel guide D. a job application
