Once a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works. She was trying to explain the principle of income tax(所得税). “You see,” she began speaking slowly and carefully, “each person who works must pay part of his or her salary to the government. If you make a high salary, your taxes are high. If you don’t make much money, your taxes are low.” “Does it make sense?” she asked. “Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?” The students nodded. “Are there any questions?” she asked. The students shook their heads. “Very good!” she said. “Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax.” Little Joe was a slow learner. He had lots of problems with spelling and grammar, but at least this time he seemed to understand the task.

A Japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than run in fear from it, we’ve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional robot,” sold out within a minute of going on sale. Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类人的) robot designed to live with humans,” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about ＄1,600. And like all good mobile products, there’s a ＄120 per month data fee, as well as an ＄80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a “multi-layer neural(神经的) network.” Pepper’s touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest. Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family’s daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness,” but it doesn’t say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talk? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners, you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs. Aldebaran says in reality, they’re probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. Aldebaran wasn’t immediately available for comment on when Pepper will be available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1,000 units sell out. SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel. 【1】According to the author, Pepper ________. A．is very popular among customers B．can not only run but also show fear C．is going to be sold all over the world D．can deal with many kinds of housework 【2】How much do you need to pay for Pepper’s data and damage insurance fee each year? A．80 dollars. B．120 dollars. C．1,440 dollars. D．2,400 dollars. 【3】Pepper’s height and roller balls are mentioned to ________. A．introduce its appearance B．tell Pepper won’t get angry C．show that safety isn’t a big issue D．explain robots have strong emotions 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Pepper cannot produce real emotions. B．Pepper can feel joy, surprise and boredom. C．Pepper will be sold in other countries next year. D．Pepper is being used as waiters in some restaurants. |

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four－hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen. Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation－in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying. Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two－day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train. She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time. There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available. It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus. 【1】According to the passage，the purpose of the author’s train ride was . A.to do business B.to see her children C.to visit places of interest D.to see her old friends 【2】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3? A.Disappointed. B.Satisfied. C.Worried. D.Pleased. 【3】Which of the following is TRUE about the old lady sitting next to the author? A.She is too old to drive now. B.She does not like to take trains. C.Although she is old，she has a good memory. D.Her daughters live far away from her home. 【4】What is the best title for this passage? A.Train ride－a cultural experience B.A painful experience on the train C.The history of Amtrak D.A wonderful lady |

How to Overcome Shyness Have you ever found it embarrassing to talk in front of the public? In fact, a great number of people are struggling with shyness. 【1】. ● Act confidently. Confidence comes through action, learning, practice, and mastery. Remember when you learned how to ride a bike?

Social confidence works the same way. 【2】 Remove avoidance and you will overcome your anxiety. ● Engage yourself This means participating in small talk in the checkout line and talking to strangers at bars, stores, sporting events, and the gym. Additionally, approach the individuals by whom you are attracted romantically. Talk to them. Ask them to dance. Ask them out on dates. Life is short. Who cares if you get rejected? There are seven billion people on this planet. You’re not expected to like or be liked by all of them. 【3】. ● 【4】. Join a club, a sports team or an outdoor activity. Pick up a new project or learn a new skill. Do something to get out of your comfort zone. Part of overcoming shyness is about developing confidence in several areas of your life and not letting anxiety, fear of failure, fear of rejection, or fear of humiliation get in your way. By practicing new activities, you are confronting your fear of the unknown and learning to handle that anxiety more effectively. ● Talk it out. 【5】 Be more talkative and expressive in all areas of your life. Whether you’re at work, with friends, with strangers, or walking down the street, you can practice talking more openly. Let your voice and your ideas be heard. A. Get out more often. B. Try new things. C. Shyness can be a characteristic of people who have low self-esteem. D. Fortunately, there are some effective strategies to overcome shyness. E.
