This is a story of a repair robot R- 62. One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped ou

17、t of the car. “Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one，” said R- 62. “Humans are quite clever. Theyre able to do any action they want to. Theyre even able to harm other human beings or organise wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Also they dont even have to follow orders if the

18、y dont want to，” said another robot T- 59 quietly to R- 62. “How terrible it is ! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and dont look at him directly，” said R- 62. The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer，“No, sir.” Then

19、suddenly, R- 62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.” The human said，“Yes”， a bit unhappy for not getting “sir” “Why do humans create so many robots？” asked R- 62. Silence followed the question and he then said, “I dont need to answer questions from robots！” He then went into his car and drove

20、 away quickly. “I really dont understand why humans replaced themselves with robots, ”asked R- 62. “Because they thought that robots were more advanced than humans. They created us to support themselves，” answered T- 59. “But there are so few humans on the Earth. What they should do is take away the

21、 robots or at least make them stop doing the work which humans are supposed to do，” said R- 62. “I agree. But we can do nothing about it.

C Have you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a childa bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or

24、 “blast from the past”， as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remember

25、ing words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen- and- repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply spea

26、k the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you

27、ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learnt these new Hungarian words by singing them sh

28、owed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learnt the words by speaking them. Dr. Katie Overy said singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things whe

29、n they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes，“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen- and- repeat singing method ca

30、n support foreign language learning.” 28Whats the authors purpose by mentioning the“song” in the first paragraph? ATo recall the past. BTo attract the readers. CTo introduce the topic. DTo compare the childhood with the present. 29Which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance la

31、nguages? AHungarian. BSpanish. CItalian. DEnglish. 30What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs? ASinging is the best way to learn a language. BThe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words. CA listen- and- repeat method is very effective for any language lea

32、rner. DDr Katie Overy and Dr Ludke disagree with each other. 31In which situation can the finding of the research be applied? AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak. BA child is going to have his first music lesson. CA student is going to learn a new English song. DAn American is going to

33、 learn some Chinese. D People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressionsand a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的) across a

34、 face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions，” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mout

35、h. ” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross- cultural situations. The

36、researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutra

37、l. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that t

38、hey show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human

39、 emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 32The discovery show

40、s that Westerners _. Apay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth Bconsider facial expressions universally reliable Cobserve the eyes and the mouth in different ways Dhave more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 33What were the people asked to do in the study?

AThe participants in the study. BThe researchers of the study. CThe errors made during the study. DThe data collected from the study

43、ng Control in Your Life 1. Get the sleep you need. One of the greatest threats to health in modern society is lack of sleep.

44、. _36_ We also need to get rid of “sleep stealers” like alcohol, caffeine，or nicotine before bedtime.

Either the author has aimed too _43_， so that children cant follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, _44_ the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best childrens books are _45_ very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the _46_ who hears the story and the adult who _47_ it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, _4
