Sometimes,you'd better use pen and paper than open up your mouth to convey just the right emotion. Margaret Shepherd,author of The Art of Civilized Conversation,shares these proper occasions.

* Condolences (吊唁) At first,everything is a blur (模糊不清) for the bereaved (死者的亲友) so it's comforting to have notes to read later at their own pace. I       For instance, "I know you're going to be busy with family right now,but in a few weeks,Fm going to call you so we can have coffee together."Then do it.

*  2       An apology is easier to put on paper―you're calmer and you can choose better words and take more care with what you say. Apologize very clearly and don't use weasel words (推诿词) like "I'm sorry if you were upset by me." 3      

* Praises If you compliment people to their face,they often feel they should be modest,but a written note can be savored (品味) in private. For example, "I really appreciate your patience as I learn to stop drinking."

氺 4      

A request to work on a campaign,help out a fundraiser―put them all on paper to avoid putting people on the spot.

* Thank You Most of us think we're covered if we've verbally thanked someone or sent an email,but if the person put effort into a gathering or a gift,you should put effort into making a thankyou note. I am strongly agreed that people should hand write a thankyou note for a hand cooked dinner rather than call the next day and talk about how fun it was. They just saw you the night before!5      

   A. And remember to use your pen instead of words always.

   B. Finish with something appreciative,such as "Thanks for putting up with me."

    What if software could get a car back on track if the driver changes direction suddenly on ice? Or help a stroke (中风) patient smoothly lift a cup?

    Bioengineers have developed a mathematical program for a robot that can “see” your intention while performing an ordinary action,like driving straight up a road or reaching for a cup — even if the action is interrupted (打断) . 

    “Say you’re reaching for a piece of paper and your hand is in mid-reach — your nerves take time to respond to what has happened,” said Justin Horowitz,first author of the study. So,when something unexpected happens,the signal going to your hand can't change for at least a tenth of a second."

    In the test,Horowitz employed exactly the situations he described. He analyzed(分析) the movement of research subjects as they reached for an object on a desk,but had their hand pushed in the wrong direction. He used the advanced mathematical program to analyze the action and examine the subjects’ intent,even when there was a disturbance.

    The program has extra sensors and deals with information so much faster than people can react. It can predict the way you wanted to move,according to your intention. The car’s artificial intelligence would use it to bring the car’s course more in line with what the driver wanted to do. aIf we hit a patch of ice and the car starts changing direction,we want the car to know where we meant to go ,” he said. “It needs to correct the car's course not to where I am now pointed,but to where I meant to go."

9. The mathematical program can be used to.

   A. prevent cars from speeding

   B. help the disabled learn to drive 

    C. predict people’s intended acts   

    D. warn drivers of possible dangers

10. The underlined part “mid-reach” in Paragraph 3 refers to the time when .

   A. the brain sends signals

   B. your body reacts to something

    C. you react to something unexpected   

    D. the brain is stuck in a dangerous situation

11. What is stressed about the program in the last paragraph?

   A. Its cost.   B. Its future,

    C. Its function.   D. Its structure.

12. Where can we probably read the text?

   A. In a car review.   B. In a business ad.

    C. In a research plan.   D. In a science report.

In this classroom,laughing is encouraged. In :fact,learning a hearty ho-io-hi cAwcA:/e (fe 笑) is;required. Best Santas,a program in Denver,teaches men and women to become the best Mr. and Mrs. i Clauses possible. “We teach our Santas that being Santa is so much more than putting on a red suit and making sure your beard is white/' Jim Coleman,the owner of Best Santas,said. “Their focus must be on serving children and sharing the magic of Christmas — happiness."

They are booked at a rate of $195 per hour. Some Santas are even coupled with assistants that help with face painting and balloon art.

“There is just something so completely magical about Santa Claus,” Coleman said. “And it's not just for the children. Adults light up at the site of Santa just as much as the children do. I think it reminds them of those warm memories of their childhood."
