microphone. you can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.for those without an iphone, another apple product, the ipod, may be another choice. its not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musicipods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.and if games, e-books and music arent enough to keep you occupied. then perhaps you would prefer a film. the development of palm dvd

equally effective at reducing the loneliness of nursing home residents. the study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents.dr. andrew smith led the stanford university team that built a home-assistance robot. “if humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions,” he said.to test whether residents responded better to sparky, a trained dog, or the sony-made robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in st. louis.one group had weekly 30-minute one-on-one visits with sparky; another group had similar visits with aibo; a control group had no contact with either dog. the groups respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits.after two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached. most of the elderly regarded sparky, a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator marian banks.“he listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him,” said banks, who adopted and trained sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago.those who were together with aibo took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature. over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him. he would respond by wagging his tail, vocalizing, and blinking his lights.“aibo is charming once you start to interact with him,” said the studys author, dr. william banks, “ hes an attractive sort of guy. he gives a feeling of being personal, not just a robot.”63. before the new study, it was known that _.a. robots were effective at reducing peoples lonelinessb. robots could build close connection with humansc. dogs could help get rid of old peoples lonelinessd. dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness64. those who had contact with the robotic dog found that _.a. they didnt feel comfortable with it b. it was hard for them to interact with it c. they werent comfortable with it at firstd. the robots vocalizing and blinking confused them65. the findings of the researchers tell us that_.a. robots are better at caring for old people than nursesb. robots can to some degree replace dogs as companions for old peoplec. its easy for people to become close with robotsd. every home will have a robot assistant one day66. what would be the best title for the passage?a. robots serve people better than thoughtb. no more lonely old age with emotional robotsc. advanced technology used to cheer up the elderlyd. robots and dogs can equally cheer up the elderlydamericans wear black for mourning while chinese wear white. westerners think of dragons as monsters. chinese honor them as symbols of god. chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立)with the west, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. now in the university if california, berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between chinese and american culturespolarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.his findings go gar toward explaining why american cultures seem to be aggressive and chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. more importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the east and the west to learn from each other in basic ways. the chinese could learn much from western methods for determining scientific truth, said kaiping peng, a former beijing scholar, who is now a uc berkley assistant professor of psychology. and americans could profit enormously from he chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said.“americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,” said peng. “the problem is that at the interpersonal level you really dont need to find the truth, , or maybe there isnt any.” chinese people, said peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions. they do far less blaming of the individual than do americans, he added.in studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, peng found that americans were “non-compromising, blaming one side usually the mother for the causes of the problems, demanding
