A Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mails to a large office building in Washington, D.C. He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States. Mr. Leachim , who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One is that he does not forget details. He knows each childs name, the parents names and what each child knows and needs to know. In addition, he knows each childs pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes. Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification number. His computer brains put the childs voice and number together. He identifies the child with no mistakes. Then he starts the lesson. Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If the children need more time to do their lessons they can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachims lesson over and over again. When the children do a good job he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children switch Mr. Leachim off. 56. The first paragraph of the passage tells us_.

B Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not. 60. Greenhorn now refers to _. A. a person who is new in a job B. a new solider C. a young horse D. None of above 61. A person who has a green thumb is a person _. A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are in green color C. whose garden is greener than others D. who is younger than his neighbors 62. The author is actually talking about _. A. colors B. language C. politics D. agriculture 63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier. B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs. C. The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare. D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous. C I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought that I would never have that sort of career. I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasnt the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasnt too hard at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, shed give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didnt often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. One Sunday, I was in the park with the children and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I have got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career even if you arent top of the class at school. 64. What is the authors present job? A. Working part-time in a college. B.

D When you are talking to somebody at a party, do you focus entirely on the person you are speaking with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? General1y, if the person is someone you really want to talk to, you will focus on him. Most other people will only get about half of your attention. You may think that this is OK, because if you dont really want to talk to him, then what does it matter if you dont give him your full attention? Consider two things. First, you may just not realize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X, but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your attention wander (走神) as you speak to him. But maybe you dont realize that this person has already met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you dont really care about speaking to him? This doesnt mean you need to spend the whole time talking to him. Five or ten minutes of real attentive (专心的) conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention. Second, whether you want to speak to someone is based on the situation. You can love your wife, but if she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want her to feel valued, give her your 100% attention. The nice thing is that in many cases you can give her your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were doing. You miss very little, she feels valued, and all is good. 68The authors opinion is made believable mainly by _. A. giving examples B. using figures C. asking questions D. description 69The second paragraph mainly tells you that _. A. you should focus on whoever you are talking to B. you should be interested in everyone at a party C. you can refuse to talk to someone you dont like at a party D. you should be patient with everyone at a party 70A person who has a low-level job probably _. A. would like to talk to you B. is the one youre looking for C. wants to make friends with you D. is well worth focusing on 71What is the main idea of this passage? A. Always be friendly to others at a party. B. Improve your communication skills by focusing on others. C. It is important for you to be active at a party. D. You should respect your wife at any time. E Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa ,who from an early age has been looking after cattle more than most of you. However, he has neve
