10、ould mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thi
11、rteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew
12、what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I h
13、ad won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympi
14、cs and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent m
15、e. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know Im a champion, and God knows that t

A famous athlete.BIf parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius(天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to severa
20、l leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parents expectations can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not unrealistic about w
21、hat they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging
22、private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music. Michaels father plays the trumpet (小号) in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwillin
23、g.Michaels friend, Wiston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Wiston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he doesnt win.
24、 “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Wistons father tells him.

27、ge private lessons for their children CIn the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people. Many people burn their energy on their daytoday tasks like cooking, cleaning after work, etc. When robots can complete such jobs, people
28、can spend more time with their family and friends. Experts say that many major problems in the modern world are caused by miscommunication. When people have more time, they can talk freely to solve such issues and eventually create a happy society.Robots can be used on certain jobs to avoid accident
29、s caused by careless behavior of some people. When robots are used on such work, it does not risk any human life due to accidents at the workplace. Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving. Robots can be used on
30、lowend jobs like moving heavy things and heavy weight lifting.While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns about reduction in human value and the creation of a lazy society due to heavy dependency on robots. When robots become cheaper to produce, emplo
31、yers may prefer to use more robots than humans. As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans. Many people may rely on robots heavily. Some may even develop the habit of using robots on tasks that they can easily do. This could create a lazy socie
32、ty.As an aging society, Japan sees it as a must to build robots that take care of elderly people at their homes, because without them, the nations health care system cant cope. There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an aging population,
33、and the loosening of family ties. However, many of Japans elderly people would prefer human helpers rather than robots. Above all, Japan wants, if not “needs”, its dreams of robots in the home to come true because its immigration (移民) policy is antiimmigration.In conclusion, robots can be used on an
34、ything that can eventually improve humans living standards but we cant depend on them too much. Robots can be used to help humans live in harmony and form a happy society.28According to the first paragraph, when robots can be used in homes, _.Apeople will spend more time on their workBthere would be
35、 more misunderstandings between humansCpeoples living standards will be improvedDpeople may communicate more with robots than human beings29Compared with humans, robots are better at _.Aproblem solving Bcommunicating with othersCcritical thinking Dworking safely30Some people worry that with more rob
36、ots being used _.Apeople will be unwilling to work hardBhuman resources wont be needed at the workplaceCit will be harder to improve the abilities of robotsDrobots will be beyond our control31What can we infer from Paragraph 4?AJapan will try to develop robots to be used in the home.BThe robots are
37、well received by elderly people in Japan.CThe Japanese government encourages foreigners to move to Japan.DMost Japanese citizens are against robots in the home.DMichael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier-the shark(鲨鱼).Research by a British biology student su

39、ur of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.

40、eper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.Miss Smith said: “Ive always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know theres so much more we need to understand - but it certainly opens
41、 the way to more research.”It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system. At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System)
42、 technology.In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish-none of which were harmed.

71、lem, Id like to put forward some pieces of advice. For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For another, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, which can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control. Meanwhile, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.I do hope my suggestions will be taken.Yours,Li Hua
