The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold(醒目的) with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly."
"I couldn't understand that. My classmates told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer surprises him, it meant he might give you more chances. In face, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)---allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

How would you like to build a time machine Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past.
No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Staring 2, 0000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to the earth.
In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away.
About 1, 300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan.So kites filled the skies there, Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun.
Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, for example, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do.
Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.

Father's Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother's Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day.

Jarek, Poland I don't know anybody from Poland here, but I' m lucky because the English boy next door is very friendly and kind. We are in the same class! I like teachers here. At home, the teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There are a lot of rules, too. Here, teachers are patient and don't give much homework. We students go out of school and buy pizza or burgers at lunchtime. We can' t do that in Poland.
Zinah, India It's too cold here! I hate doing sports, especially outside in winter. The teacher here is very serious about sports. I prefer science and maths. I love the maths class because the teacher is really funny, just like my maths teacher in India. The school is so big and some students seem unfriendly, I' m from a small village school, I think it's hard to communicate with them.
Daisy & Luck, the USA My sister and I like living here. It's cool! My sister loves the British accent(口音). Everybody here is very polite. But we don't understand all your strange words---we say "yard" not "garden", and "apartment" not "flat". The food is better here. There's Chinese, Indian and Thai. At home we eat too much fast food.

We like to believe that before we make a decision, most of the time, we take time to consider all the facts carefully. However, Experts believe that only 5% of our decisions are based on a rational(理性的) thought process. So what influences our decision-making process
We often leave decision-making to our instincts(本能). Scientists have found out that if we had the choice, we like to avoid pain rather than get something. In fact, we're twice as happy when we try to avoid a bad situation than when we experience a good one. This is why when companies send ads, they use phrases like "How to avoid...", "Don't miss out!", etc.
There are also physical reasons that affect our decision-making. Psychologist(心理学家) John Bargh carried on an experiment where people were asked what they thought of a fictional person, while holding a cold or a hot cup of coffee. Those holding the hot cup believed the person to be warmer and more sociable than those holding the cold cup. So when temperatures rise, the more likely we are to believe in strangers.
Stress is another thing which affects our decisions. Different situations are more or less stressful for different people. Researchers have found, though, that women are more conservative(保守的) about decisions when stressed, while men are to make riskier choices.
It may come as a surprise but every day from the minute we get up, we have to make countless decisions, like what to wear, what coffee to have and so on. Each choice makes our brain a little bit more tired, and this affects(影响) our decision-making. That's why important people, like presidents wearing the same three suits all the time, want to limit the small choices and spend more brain power(力量) on the bigger ones.
（1）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage 　 　
A． B． C． D．
（2）What is the main idea of the last paragraph 　 　
A．Every day we have to make lots of big decisions.
B．People sometimes judge a person by what he wears.
C．What people wear influences their decision making.
D．Making fewer decisions helps to save brain power.
（3）What can we learn from the passage 　 　
A．We make most of the decisions after our careful thinking.
B．People are likely to be happier to avoid something bad.
C．As the temperature is low, we are likely to believe others.
D．People usually have risky decisions under heavy pressure.
（4）The purpose of the passage is to 　 　.
A．tell us what influences decision-making
B．advise people to make rational decisions
C．warn people not to make risky decisions
D．show disadvantages of rational decisions

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, "Who are they " I asked. "They are good men from our government," my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

Whenever I read the magazine Food and Wine, the recipes always make me want to have a try. So I made this magical red wine chocolate cake last week. To my great surprise, it was excellent! When my friends tried the cake, they thought I bought it online. I felt so proud of myself. However, things were quite different one year ago...
It wasn't the fire or the heat of the oven that scared me. It wasn't the sharp knives or the onion. It wasn't even the time that cooking required. I used to hate cooking because I thought it boring and hard to cook something.
I mostly ordered fast food online. I didn't even need to wash the dishes. However, I had a terrible stomachache one night. I was taken to hospital, and the doctor told me not to eat any fast food anymore.
My parents decided to stay with me and taught me how to cook. They bought all kinds of vegetables and meat. Mom encouraged me to try cooking, so I decided to have a try. When I cooked together with my parents, I was happy and relaxed. How strange! After spending two hours in the kitchen, I began to find cooking interesting. It was the first time that I cooked.

Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.

When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, "But now, it's different," says Nejat. "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready."
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need---care giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care giving robots might reduce(减少) human interaction(互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it," says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭症障碍) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions Will patients lose interest
"One thing is clear," Scassellati says. "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."
（1）Nejat's robots are designed to 　 　.
A.work in the factory B.make phone calls
C.take care of the old D.knock on doors
（2）The writer starts the passage by 　 　.
A.telling two stories B.comparing two facts
C.raising a question D.giving an example
（3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is 　 　.
A.what the robots can do B.what serious problems the robots cause
C.what the old people can do D.what the old people think of the robots
（4）According to Scassellati, we can infer that Nejat's robots 　 　.
A.will have feelings soon B.can take the place of humans
C.should be produced more D.won't give their own opinions

When I was in the eighth grade, my class was assigned(指派) to be friends with the second-grade kids. I got this little girl named Shelley. The first time I saw her, she was silent and cold. She was small for her age, and she didn't play with the other kids in her class.
I tried all kinds of things to get her to talk to me. I bought her toys, crayons and candies. But try as I might, nothing worked. One time, I gave her a coloring book and said, "Shelley, now you can color in it any time."
Shelley looked at the coloring book and then looked up at me, and finally looked away. By that, I didn't know how I was going to get through to the little girl, but I knew I wouldn't give up on her.
One Friday, I decided to tell her a story about my childhood. I told her that I felt lonely when I was with my classmates, and how I thought only my teachers liked me. I also told her that every day was a battle(战役) for me and I fought back tears so people wouldn't know how much I was hurting.
She sat there just listening, trying to decide whether I was lying or not. Finally, when my story ended, there were tears in her eyes. And then she did the unthinkable. She said, "Thank you" From then on, Shelley was a different little girl. She started smiling and talking with other kids.
Looking back at this I'm in awe(惊叹), because all I did was to help her realize that she wasn't alone. I didn't ask her to tell her story, because her story is my story.
