Chinese fancy knots (中国结), also called Chinese knots, are very important in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties (朝代), and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.

As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. And the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots are used as a way to express people’s strong wishes for marvelous things like happiness, love and good luck.

The knots are used widely in everyday life. They come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewelry (珠宝), clothes and gifts in order to draw people’s attention, they are named after their shapes and usages. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins. Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Different colors have different traditional culture meanings. Red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow means wealth.

All in all, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the Chinese culture. These brightly colored knots with their endless chains (链条) of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever.

四、6选5

Robots may seem smart, but they cannot even pick up a chess piece. “Robots are klutzes（笨手笨脚）.” said US AI engineer Ken Goldberg, “____26____.” Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but not for robots.

____27____

If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll（滚动）a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.

Get around in our world

If someone drops you in a building you’ve never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings（天花板）and floors. ____28____.

____29____

“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle（把手）. We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot. A robot? ____30____. It may hold the hot part. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. There are just too many rules and too many exceptions. Maybe they just need more time to learn.

根据短文内容从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

A．Pick things up

B．It may turn the cup upside down

C．Understand the world made by people

D．Robots may wake you up and clean up the house

E．This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces

F．One-year-old human babies have better movement skills than robots do

I’d like to thank my English teacher

I’d like to thank my English teacher. She’s the best teacher I have ever met.

I thought she would angry with me because of my bad grades and blame me, instead, she asked if I have any trouble in learning and encouraged me to take part in more English activities. She taught me how to pronounce well after class and it helped a lot. Since then, I became more and more interested in English.

    I make great progress in my English now. I’d like to express my thanks to my dearest English teacher. It was she who gave me confidence to prove myself. She is not only my good teacher but also my good friend. Thank you my dear teacher! I will never let you down!
