Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a 36 shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.

I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to 37 . She wanted to help, 38 she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to 39 and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my 40 cookies in them and began to 41 , offering them to anyone near me.

I 42 an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me 43 in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes 44 a little bit and he said, “No one has 45 called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.

It struck me.

I explained I had been raised that 46 color and social status, everyone deserved 47 . It made me 48 to think that just because he was homeless, no one 49 him the honor. It broke my 50 , and I couldn’t help 51 cry. I just didn’t understand 52 no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every 53 person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the 54 it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can 55 make a difference in someone’s life.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals (专业人士). They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action, for nowadays there are stunt girls too!

Stuntmen are those who ______.

A. often dress up as women

B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

C. often perform seemingly (表面上) dangerous actions

D. often fight each other for their lives

Stuntmen earn their living by ______.

A. playing their dirty tricks B. selling their special skills

C. jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains

When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.

A. he needs little protection

B. he will be covered with a mattress

C. his life is endangered

D. his safety is generally all right

Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?

A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Power.

What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.

C. Parachutes must be of good quality.

D. The cliff is too high.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 41 .On their faces was confidence（信心）.This was their 42 exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 43 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 44 and able to take control（控制）of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 45 task, as the professor had said they could bring 46 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 47 each other during the test.

48 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 49 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the 51 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 52 a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 53 .” But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 54 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 55 many things about the 56 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common（普遍）in everyday 57 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 58 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 59 .”

The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 60 he taught.

A. seconds B. minutes C. hours D. days

A. only B. first C. very D. last

A. would B. must C. had to D. used to

A. glad B. ready C. sorry D. nice

                                                          Robot Revolution
    The day that a robot wakes you up,cleans your room and walks your dog might still be a few decades
off. But increasingly,engineers are saying that robots are going to make the leap from the factory floor to
your family room.
    Companies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the
Roomba,a robot that can clean floors,are flying off the shelves. On the  cover  of  a  recent  issue  of
Scienti fic  American Magazine,Bill Gates predicted the "Dawn of the Age of Robots".
      What's behind this new era ( 时代)?  It's partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and
respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move
around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also
becoming more and more energy efficient.
        A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television
remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier.
     Also take into consideration the increasing wealth of
rich people,the time appears ripe to introduce robots to
ease our daily life.
      To be sure,robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still too complex for our present
engineering abilities. Today's robot revolution is to make them for everyday use. Robots will do
basic- housework such as cleaning or gardening,or just help you have more fun on the basketball court.
   What makes a robot different from an ordinary cleaning machine is not the presence of computer chips( 芯片). Nowadays even your microwave has a computer chip. It is the ability to sense and make changes
to the environment in real time.
    For example,a floor-cleaning robot should be able to sense your scared cat and move out of the way.
Today's computing ability is, for the first time, able to make machines that could "think" at least in certain
limited
ways.
