1.Busy as I am every day,I always open my computer and check my email.Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises,another form of piano practice without beautiful tones.Sometimes,however,I receive a gift,reminding me of the gifts in my life.The following passage is one of those gifts.
Peter Jones is a 92-year-old,short,calm and proud man.Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock,with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though he is unable to see anything.He would move to a nursing home today.His wife of 70years old has recently passed away,making the move necessary.
After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home,he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator,the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room."I love it,"he stated with enthusiasm."Mr.Jones,you haven't been the room,"said the nurse.
"That doesn't have anything to do with it,"he replied."Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged…it's how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love  it.It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice:I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do."
Each day is a gift,and as long as we are alive.We'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we've stored just as Mr.Jones does.

12.Americans use the term"college students"to mean students either in colleges or universities.Not only that,Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university."That sounds British.(26)F
(27)DBoth offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and s ciences,for example.And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies.Another difference is that universities are generally bigger.(28)BAnother place of higher education,especially in technical areas,is an institute,like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.
Modern universities developed from those of Europ e in the Middle Ages.The word"university"came from the Latin universities,describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.(29)GIn England,colleges were formed to provide students with places to li ve.Usually each group was studying the same thing.So college came to mean an area of study.
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college.This is still true.(30)AFor example,Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
 
A.A college can also be a part of a university.
B.They offer more programs and do more research.
C.There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
D.Colleges and universities have many things in common.
E.Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F.Instead,they say"going off to college"or"when I was in college."
G."College"came from collegium,a Latin word with a similar meaning.
9.Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years,but Dr Jean-Loup Rault,an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia,believes new companions are coming:robot pets.
"Technology is moving very fast,"Rault told ABC News,"The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet,and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot."
This may not sit well with pet lovers.After all,who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy?But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it:"You don't have to feed it,you don't have to walk it,it won't make a mess in your house,and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty."The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets,short on space,or fearful of real animals.
It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones.But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines.People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories.It's the same with robots.When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014,owners in Japan held funerals.
As an animal welfare researcher,Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals."If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food,water or exercises,perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,"he said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past,as Rault predicts?For those who grew up with living and breathing pets,the mechanical kind might not do.But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology,a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.
