When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. “ But now, it's different,” says Nejat, “people calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease (阿尔兹海默病) . They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding (提醒) the patients of taking their medicine.They can also play games with patients to keep them active
Some have worried that care giving robots might reduce (减少) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “ But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it, ” says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (自闭症障碍) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?
“ One thing is clear, ” Scassellati says.“ Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future. “
( ) 58. The writer starts the passage by __________.
A. telling two stories B. comparing two facts

C. should be produced more D. won't give their own opinions

Homework is a problem for students all over the world . As a student, you have a lot of homework to do everyday. It's a major part of a student's school day. It's the best way to review what you have learned in class.And it helps you understand important concepts (概念). Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less difficult.
Be sure you understand the homework
Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid of asking questions about it. It's much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!
Use your time at school
Many schools have study halls. They are designed to allow students to study there. It's more interesting to play with your friends, but the more homework you finish at school, the less you'll have to do that night.
Take a break
It's difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take a break while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
Make a plan
If you don't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.
( ) 65. You should do the following things EXCEPT __________ .
A. writing your homework down in your notebook
B. trying to finish your homework at school
C. doing homework without taking a break

E
When you are learning English, you'll find it not clever to put an English sentence word by word into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, then what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages not only have different sounds, they are also different in many ways. It's important to master the rules of words order (顺序) in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in the wrong order,the listeners can't understand the speaker's sentences easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence changes, the meaning of the sentences changes, too. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“ She only likes apples. ” “ Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “ I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
( ) 69 From the passage we know that when we are learning English __________.
A. we shouldn't put a sentence word by word into our own language
B. we should look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language
D. we must read word by word
( ) 70. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the word
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
( ) 71.“she only likes apples ” __________.
A. is the same as “Only she likes apples”
B. is different from “ Only she likes apples ”
C. means “she likes fruit except apples”
D. means “she doesn't like apples”
( ) 72. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Pay Attention to the Translation of the English Sentences
B. The Change of English
C. The Importance of Learning English
D. How to Learn English
