For many years, I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production assistant. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream job.
One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened, I was not sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. But not too long after the show, I was laid off(解雇) from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move.
In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good. And the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn't making the best use of my talents. I didn't have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn't wait to create something.
I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children's storybook. My goal didn't end there, and I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher.
When I held a copy of my beautiful children's book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you' re not far from success.

You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen.
Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages. Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide.
But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant.
Still the use of robots is growing. In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more; now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers food to tables. And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen.
C Zhai said he now only needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to$6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business.” he said.
But not all restaurants have had success with robots. Chili's introduced a robot server in 2020. The restaurant company expanded the test to 61 U. S. restaurants before suddenly stopping last August. " Chili's found that the robot moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58 percent of guests surveyed said robots did not improve their overall experience.
28. What is Li Zhai's third robot used to do
A. Lead diners to their seats. B. Deliver food to tables.
C. Take orders from customers. D. Carry away dirty dishes.
29. What do Li Zhai's words mainly tell us in Paragraph 5
A. The popularity of robots. B. The low prices of robots.
C. The advantages of using robots. D. The impression of robots on people.
30. Why did Chili's give up robot servers
A. They broke down easily. B. They didn't work well enough.
C. They often made big mistakes. D. They couldn't understand customers' demand.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Are Robot Waiters the Future B. Will Human Servers Lose Jobs
C. Robots Will Never Replace Humans D. Robot Services Are Better Than Humans
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well— and not defensively. Just as often. apologies don't happen at all out or rear that they'll be uncomfortable or ineffective. 32 They help deepen relationships and build trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health. If you' re ready for your fault, here are four keys to apologizing well.
1. 33
Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness. “What we've found is that people usually tend to offer an apology as soon as possible.” she says. “It's an effort to shut the whole incident down. You can't deliver an effective apology until the injured person believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it's not going to be seen as sincere.”
2. Accept responsibility.
Why should you apologize if you' re both at fault 34 “But I like to encourage people to really focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that they' re responsible for.” Schumann says. Calling attention to the fact that we' re also hurt is normal, but save it for later on in the conversation.
3. Be clear about how you plan to repair things.
One of the core elements of an apology is making reparations. That will be possible in a direct way: You broke their favorite wineglass Buy them a new one. Spilt coffee on their new dress Pay for the dry cleaning. 35 It's important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future.
4. Don't expect forgiveness.
An apology is a starting point. Particularly with severe faults, the person wronged will often need time and space to heal. Schumann suggests saying like this : “I understand this isn't going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you' re not ready to forgive me, 36 ”
A. Don't rush into it.
B. Start with specific words.
C. it's important not to pressure them.
D. That's exactly the problem many people struggle with.
E. you' re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward.
F. Sometimes you can't repair what's happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward.
G. But sincere apologies bring a lot of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it.
