16、usand. This is a story of a repair robot R62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R62.“Humans are quite clever. Theyre able to do any action they want to. Theyre even able to harm other human beings or organis
17、e wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Also they dont even have to follow orders if they dont want to,” said another robot T59 quietly to R62.“How terrible it is ! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and dont look at him directly,” said R62.The human then sat down and asked if
18、 there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer,“No, sir.”Then suddenly, R62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said,“Yes”, a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”“Why do humans create so many robots?” asked R62.Silence followed the question and he then
19、 said, “I dont need to answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car and drove away quickly.“I really dont understand why humans replaced themselves with robots, ”asked R62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced than humans. They created us to support themselves,” answered T
20、59.“But there are so few humans on the Earth. What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them stop doing the work which humans are supposed to do,” said R62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it. And now we have to finish repairing this car,” said T59.“All right, lets continue.”

23、n you were a childa bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past”, as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a
24、 foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning conditions.
25、 Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what
26、 they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learnt these ne
27、w Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learnt the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy said singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The
28、 brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes,“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a lis
29、tenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning.”28Whats the authors purpose by mentioning the“song” in the first paragraph?ATo recall the past. BTo attract the readers.CTo introduce the topic. DTo compare the childhood with the present.29Which language doesnt share the same root w
30、ith Germanic or Romance languages?AHungarian. BSpanish.CItalian. DEnglish.30What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?ASinging is the best way to learn a language.BThe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.CA listenandrepeat method is very effective for
31、any language learner.DDr Katie Overy and Dr Ludke disagree with each other.31In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English song.DAn American i
32、s going to learn some Chinese.DPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressionsand a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的) a
33、cross a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) th
34、e mouth. ”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in crosscultural situations.Th
35、e researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neut
36、ral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that
37、they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human
38、 emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.32The discovery shows
39、 that Westerners _.Apay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthBconsider facial expressions universally reliableCobserve the eyes and the mouth in different waysDhave more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions33What were the people asked to do in the study?ATo make a face at each other. BTo
40、 get their faces impressive.CTo classify some face pictures. DTo observe the researchers faces.34What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?AThe participants in the study. BThe researchers of the study.CThe errors made during the study. DThe data collected from the study.35What can

48、rience of reading a bedtime story _41_ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a _42_ childrens book.

Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, _48_ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not _49_ to solve. This may be why many of the books regarde

63、 in. He bought walnuts (核桃) and showed one to his son, slowly saying, “We old people are like this walnut. It is evident that weve experienced many hard events in life. As a consequence, weve built up such a firm shell, and at the same time weve also built up a pure inner world. For this very reason
