B(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didnt think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesdays Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didnt think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water.

An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions（伙伴） than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The companys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.28.How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly.29.What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse.30.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _.A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers31.What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. DAsk a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of smartphones in lessons.During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.32.We can infer from the first paragraph that .A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesB. mobile phones should be developed to meet students needsC. students are free to use their mobile phones at schoolD. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school33.When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .A. all enjoyed the project very muchB. didnt know what they were used forC. didnt fully realize the learning functions of mobile phonesD. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools34.Who benefited most from the project?A. Older pupils. B. Pupils who were not confident. C. Younger pupils. D. Pupils who were confident.35.The purpose of the text is to tell us that .A. mobile phones can actually help students learnB. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsC. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsD. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Everyone strives to be a great person, kind and caring. But for some, thats not always the case. 36 A few of these harmful characteristics are offered for you below. If you happen to realize that you possess any of them quit! You are self-centered. Many people do this unconsciously. You think you are the only one that matters, and often dont care what others have to say. If this is you, its time to change. 37 You are always in competition. Are you the person who has to be better than everyone else? If so, youre unattractive. 38 If they overcame their fear of heights and climbed 10 feet in the air, dont say, “Thats all? Ive climbed 30 feet!” Instead say, “Thats awesome. Im really proud of you.” 39 You are definitely unattractive when constantly asking why others dont see you as important as you think they should. For instance, your two friends went somewhere without you. It doesnt matter to them, but to you it does. Get over it. Your friends lives dont stop when youre not around.
