19、ey turned up at Gloria Scotts house in Woburn, Massachusetts, he thought he was there to repair the 72-year-old womans lights.After completing the job, John went home, but he kept thinking about Gloria and a lot of other repairs much needed-pipe damage, holes in the ceiling dangerous front steps, th
20、e leaking roof and so on. She told him that she lived alone and felt lonely.John decided to take action. Even though he couldnt rebuild her whole house, he could make it safe and livable for her. He worked on Glorias home by himself for free before getting some friends and volunteers involved. But t
21、here were so many repairs needed, so he looked for more help online, with a simple description of the situation: Nice old lady needs help. In just 24 hours, $3, 500 was already raised. And he also had loads of volunteers turning up to lend a helping hand. While this all has been going on, Gloria has
22、 enjoyed watching the process and getting to know the volunteers. Shes been here by herself for over 10 years, so its a big change for her. Shes so happy and has got all types of new friends. Shes out here making lunch for these kind volunteers, laughing and joking. Its just a miracle to witness. Me
23、anwhile, Johns whole family have formed a special bond with the 72-year-old woman.

26、elping Hand SelflesslyCFor years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs
27、by then.So whats the solution? Robots.Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nu
28、rse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely to be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.A robots appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collabora
29、tion Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Acntroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressi
30、ons and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didnt like having it around”.Its important to note that robotic nurses dont decide courses of treatment or make diagnose
31、s. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.28What does the author say about Japan?AIt ranks top in future robotics techno
32、logy.BIt takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.CIt is in desperate need of registered nurses.DIt provides the best medication for the elderly.29Which of the following best explains “implemented” underlined in Paragraph 3?Acancelled.Bconstructed.Cimproved.Dapplied.30What do we know about the rob
33、ot Actroid F?AIt has no difference from a human nurse.BIt gets favorable remarks from all the patients.CIt interacts with patients like a human companion.DIt uses body language even more effectively than words.31What is the authors attitude towards robotic nurses?ASkepticalBPositiveCCriticalDIndiffe
34、rentDLooking great in photos is an art form in itself. The angle, the lighting, the position of your head can determine that picture-perfect moment. And whether youre eight years old or 80, you can usually count on one classic command before the camera clicks: “Say cheese!” You will respond with a s
35、mile and the word, “Cheese!”The idea of “cheesing” in photos first appeared around the 1940s. The Big Spring Herald, a local Texas newspaper, printed an article that referenced the phrase in 1943. While no one knows for certain who came up with it or why, most believe the word itself makes you smile
36、. The “ch” sound causes you to clench(咬紧) your teeth, and the long “ee” sound parts your lips, making a facial expression that looks like a smile.Actually, we havent always shown our teeth for the camera. Back in the 19th century, only children, farmers, and drunks smiled in photographs; everyone el
37、se kept their faces still, which was considered attractive and dignified(庄重的) at that time.Thats not the only reason people didnt smile for photos, though. For one, it took several hours for cameras to take the photograph in the first place. As you can imagine, its tough to stay still for that long,
38、 let alone hold a smile. Whats more, dental hygiene(口腔卫生) was not valued back in the day, and most people didnt want to show off a mouth full of missing or broken teeth.Photographs were also expensive, meaning the average person only sat for one or two photos in their lifetime. Because this was such
39、 an important occasion, each person was on his or her best behaviorthe somber expressions.No matter the original reason for these straight-faced photos, the trend didnt last for long. The invention of Kodaks $1 camera in the 1900s, along with the rise of the Hollywood movie industry, allowed more an
40、d more “everyday” moments to be captured on film. Thus, smiling in photographs became standardand so did saying “cheese”.32Which of the following is unknown to us?AWho actually invented the phrase “say cheese”.BWhen the phrase “say cheese” first appeared in print.CHow the word “cheese” forces people
41、 to wear a smile.DWhy people say the word “cheese” while taking photos.33Why did most people refuse to smile for photos in the past?AThey were too proud to show off their teeth.BThey might have some problems with their teeth.CThey wanted to give photographers more dignity.DThey disliked sitting stil
42、l and smiling for a long time.34What might the underlined word “somber” in paragraph 5 mean?AFunny.BUnique.CSerious.DCreative.35Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AWhat Is the Standard Camera PoseBWhy We Say “Cheese” When Taking PicturesCThe Meaning of the Word “Cheese”DWhat E

But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Heres a handful of ways that will set you in the r
44、ight direction. 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.Forgive yourself for mistakes tha
45、t you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response? That didnt go as planned. But, I tried my
