We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences—that time we climbed Mount Everest, tasted some rare food or ran into a famous person on the street. But new research suggests：that if we s1. these unusual experiences with others, it may bring something uncomfortable.
"Unusual experiences are pleasant in the moment but can cause social t2. in the long run, "says psychological scientist Gus Cooney of Harvard University. "Some people mistakenly thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star. But they were wrong, because to be unusual is to be different from other people, and social interaction is based on something similar. "
"We all h3. to have experiences that are fine and rare, and when we get what we want, we are always eager to tell our friends. But I've noticed that conversations always seem to develop well on more ordinary topics." Cooney explains. " This made me wonder if unusual experiences were r4. as lovely as we had thought. "
To find out, Cooney and his colleagues had 68 people come to the lab in groups of f5.. In each group, one person was asked to watch a popular video of a street magician performing for a crowd, while the other three people were asked to watch an ordinary animated video. After watching the videos, the people sat around a table and had a five-minute free conversation.
After the group discussion, the people who watched the magician's performance felt w6. than those who watched the animated video, because they felt they were not included during the discussion.
This finding suggests that we ought to give more thought in choosing what to talk about with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has n7. in common with others, then no matter how good it is, it won't make you comfortable in the long run.
When talking to ladies, we should avoid _________their ages.
A.mentioning B.to mention C.mention D.mentioned

A.look up B.get up C.take up D.pick up
______ can always have good luck. That’s why we should work hard.

Computers can help us in many ways, but they cannot think or do things on their own. Humans have to feed them with information and tell them what to do. They cannot come up with any new information, but they can save much time and work. For example, all the information and the office files (文件) can be stored in a computer’s “memory”.
The first computers were huge and expensive. They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices. Later, scientists found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers. They invented chips (芯片) which made it possible to store more information in less space.
Today, computers are not only cheaper, but also more compact. They can just be placed on top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place to place easily. Computers are not only used in offices by companies, but are used at home by families who can afford them.
Robots are only moving parts controlled by computers. A robot can do the same work as a person for 24 hours without complaining or getting tired.
In Japan and some places in America, robots are used in factories to assemble (装配) cars. As computers become more and more common in businesses and factories, people fear that one day computers and computer-controlled robots will put human workers out of work.
