on the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. they are not likely to make many mistakes. if something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. they do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. on the other hand, robots reduce costs for companies. companies dont have to pay robots wages or injury compensation if theyre broken. if something in a robot does go wrong, it wont have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding. the obvious downside is that robots increase unemployment rate, which in turn increases taxes. we dont want to pay for those who are out of work just because a company has replaced them with robots. 56. we can learn from the first paragraph that _.a. all the workers have been replaced by robotsb. robots do most of the work in the car factory c. there are no workers with back strain now d. the authors uncle designs robots in the factory57. the second paragraph is mainly about _. a. the authors experience in a car factoryb. the advantages of robots over human workersc. the advantages of human workers over robotsd. the management of factory workers58. according to the passage, robots _.a. never break downb. cost companies more money c. can work as accurately as human workersd. can do exactly the same thing repeatedly59. the underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph means _.a. weakness b. favor c. assistance d. strength60. it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. companies refuse to pay for workersb. robots have completely replaced workersc. robots can help solve the problem of unemploymentd. people have to pay more taxes for the unemployed brecently i spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.given that i teach students who are trained to be doctors, i was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “what kind of help is that?” i asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“surgery（外科手术）”, one replied. i was pretty alarmed by that response. it seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. one girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “they break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows. you can get at least 5 cm taller!”at that point, i was shocked. i am short. i cant deny that, but i dont think i would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller. i dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as im not trying to hide the fact that i am just not tall!it seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.no one is born perfect, yet magazines, tv shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm（标准）. advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. in my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.61. we can know from the passage that the author works as _.a. a professor b. a model c. a teacher d. a reporter 62. many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to _. a. marry a better man/woman b. become a model c. get an advantage over others in job-hunting d. attract more admirers63. what was the authors reaction towards the girls decision?a. excited. b. surprised. c. happy. d. angry. 64. according to the passage, the author believes that _.a. everyone should pursue perfection, whatever the cost b. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs c. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryd. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones career65. what does the author think of his height?a. he hates to be called a short man. b. he tries to increase his height through surgery. c. he always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact. d. he just accepts it as it is.c the concern has been brought into focus with the popularity of a hit reality tv series, hunan tvs dad! where are we going? and zhejiang tvs first time in life. in both, children as young as three have become new public figures. in the show first time in life, children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks to complete by themselves；the ongoing dad! show centers on five celebrity fathers and their children who are forced to live a simple life in rural areas, far outside their comfort zone. regardless of their family background, the childrens reactions to new environments have struck the public. in one episode of dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former olympic diving champion tian liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. in an episode of the other series, a young girl in tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake. in the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. but television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. in the case of tians daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didnt know. the father of the tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said. “she used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother. now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ” the shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children. shanghai mother liang jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. lin yi, a parenting expert in beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives. ”66. the children in the two programs are different in . a. family background b. age group c. personality d. popularity67. what attracts the audiences eyes in the programs?a. what the kids family background is like. b. where childrens real comfort zone is.c. how children react to new environments. d. why those children are independent. 68. what is tian liangs daughter expected to do in the show?a. go out to buy something alone. b. hide in a safe place to avoid a danger.c. make friends with strange adults. d. live in a rural village with her father. 69. it can be inferred from the underline words “delightfully shocked” that .a. father is more important than mother in a familyb. children deserve a chance to be independent c. parents should provide a safe environmentd. the children are as fragile as parents expected70. the shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion about . a. protecting good traditions b. the social safetyc. approaches to parenting d. the influence of tv programmesdthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the inte
