For many years, machines have been doing work that people once did， including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings： the restaurant industry.

Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot called DRC-Hubo，won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such ac­tivities are easy for humans to perform，but more difficult for machines. Not all of the com­petitors were successful. The failures showed how difficuit it is to design effective walking machines.

Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric，a company that develops robots. He says ro­bots cannot do everything a human can，but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food，change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (風(fēng) 味）.But he says if a food can be easily prepared，a robot can repeat the same movement to re­produce the same meal.

One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Mori says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (壽司）maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all o­ver the world now eat sushi，but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.

Shyness equals (等于) losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.

When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.

To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing (社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.

Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.

Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place?’ rather than “Do you like this place?” Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?” Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.

Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.

1. The author didn’t pay attention to what the girl was saying because .

A. her voice was very low

B. he was shy and nervous

C. he was attracted by her appearance

D. he wasn’t interested in her topic

2.To get rid of your shyness, you should .

A. pay much attention to yourself

B. find a beautiful girl to talk with

C. learn to talk to others in a relaxed way

D. ask people some interesting questions

3.It can be inferred from the text that .

A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looks

B. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselves

C. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happy

D. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys

4.Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?

A. What a lovely day, isn’t it?

B. Do you like playing basketball?

C. Do you think he will pass the exam?

D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?

We Chat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 per cent year on year to 500m at the end of 2014, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending(拓展) its reach for the mobile internet. Revenue grew 24 per cent to Rmb20.98billion, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming revenues.

It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s revenues but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.

“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security?.?.?.?and mobile payments,” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement.

WeChat is the second highest ranked app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s other chatting app, which claimed to have 815m registered monthly users at the end of 2014. However, that figure is more than the total number of internet users in China, which the government puts at 640million.

Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could reduce efforts to increase the user base. But this is expected to change. Some analysts predicted that advertising would be introduced on later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feeds in January, many users complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm. They said it unfairly considered them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the sought-after BMW ad.

1.What is the main driving force of the Tencent’s income growth?

A、QQ B. WeChat

C. Online gaming D. Advertisments

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.

B. WeChat is ranked behind app QQ in China.

C. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ

D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.

3.What’s some users’ reaction after a BMW ad was introduced?

A. Unfair B. Untouched

C. Unclear D. Uninterested

4.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. WeChat , the Most Popular APP in China Now

B. Mobile Internet, the Most Potential Market for Tencent

C. Advertisements, the Most Important Part of Tencent’s Income

D. Tencent, the Most Influential Company in China

七選五： 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能坡入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多于選項(xiàng)。

What we wear at home is our own business. We can dress freely at home. No one will care or debate about it. _1._ . Why? That’s because the way we dress affects us and other people. It is basically a matter of self respect and respect for others.

According to a famous behavioral economist, humans have a pattern of irrational(不理智的) behaviours. One of them is called “the effect of expectation”. Ariely says that when a person believes beforehand that something is good, he will look upon it generally as good. _2. . If you wear a cheap old T-shirt like a beggar, the respect and expectation that you gain from people around you will be poor.

Some people might argue that we should have the freedom to dress however we want regardless of what people think. They can also argue that we should not judge people based on how a person dresses. _3._ . People judge us based on how we look, and that is a fact that we should accept.

In fact, we don’t have to spend a lot of money buying the most expensive clothes. It doesn’t make sense to go to a supermarket in a tux (晚禮服). 4. . Experts suggest that we should have various levels of dressing. For example, level 1: dressing for staying at home, level 2: casual dress for going out with friends, level 3: formal dress for work, level 4: attire (盛裝) for business functions and so on.

_5._ . When we choose clothes to wear, we should be aware of how it makes us generally look. At least we should be aware of it instead of just wearing it and going without giving a second thought. Dressing up is how you “sell” yourself so don’t take it too lightly.

A. The dress should match the occasion.

B. It is helpful to have fashion awareness when we dress.

C. Therefore, the look is important for a first impression.

D. That is pretty ideal, but it is not practical in the real world.

E. It changes people’s reactions towards you in a positive way.

F. Therefore, it is a good idea to be aware of how we behave at home.

G. However, when we dress up and go out to public places, it becomes an issue.
