He can even think for himself and figure out what you need.It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you pany all the time. But e to think of it, can you really trust him? Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots bee, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they bee too similar to humans, people begin to feel unfortable.This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, but instead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor (盔甲) that clearly shows its robot status.“As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine, even if they project their feelings into it, then they feel fortable,” Rolf Pfeifer, the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told the BBC.But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are “necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people”, such as space exploration and war fighting. But when it es to taking care of children, 60 percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots bee more advanced and plicated, parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them.No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or panions who live with us. 21. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy. B. To discuss problems related to designing robots C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives. D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.22. Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot? A. To better protect it. B. To make it look cool and modern. C. To make it clearly different from a human. D. To keep its price down.23. According to the paragraph before the last one, most of the people interviewed _. A. wele robots into their homes B. believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasks C. think families with children shouldnt use robots for housework D. are afraid that children will bee less responsible if robots take care of them24. Which best describes the authors tone in the article? A. Objective(客观的). B. Critical(批评的). C. Admiring. D. Anxious.25. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can. B. Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human-like robots. C. Robots in the future will serve as human beings good friends. D. People wont be fortable with robots like a machine in the house.BGuide to Stockholm University Library Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones.

But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately：the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure（暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can cause heart attack or stroke（中风） within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one report of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants（污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. Anotherstudy of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）considers to be of “moderate”(良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest pared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also bee necessary to protect public health.31. WHAT may cause heart disease?

EntertainDWhat do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual pany selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago. The pany, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over xx yuan in the past three months.We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. Its great to realize our ideal of spreading love and culture with seeds after many tests and lots of hard work, said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the pany.Just like any other pany, Shis didnt develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their pany could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French pany near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consultants. They helped us overe our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found munication skills and teamwork are very important for my job, said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with plaints and providing suggestions.As the head of the pany, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the pany only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every ones performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, profits knowledge and so on. It makes the pany more formal, she said.36.

Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now Im a web designer.42My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.43Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent. 44If I could change something in my life, Id change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house?
