It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 17 things in life and about devoting ourselves to 18 is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would 19 the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 20 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at 21 street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His 22 was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 23 all over the house 24 he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon 25 that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to _26_ the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 27 man now, a millionaire. But the old man said 28 ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 29 , went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, 30 or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. 16.

And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris from the work. “Its a quite dangerous job,” says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.“The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,”says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far.

Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker. I said in a voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.” And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesnt send me the cheek. Its already two weeks late.”And then, in perfect English I said: “Im getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.” Then she talked more loudly. “What does he want? Ill come to New York and say it in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant accept any more excuses. If I dont receive the check immediately, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.41. Why was the authors mother poorly treated?A. She couldnt speak English well.B.

The programme works because everyones eyes are different. So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. Youll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are. However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes dont change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94 correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51 of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91 of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!46.
