Gift Giving

I'm going to China and everyone in my class is asking me to buy them something. What should I do?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

Your classmates are probably just excited about your trip. Most likely they don't expect you to buy gifts for everyone. Sending a few postcards to the entire class during your trip would be a wonderful way to share your experiences. The pictures on the cards and your words of description will be the best gift of all.

Dog Begging

My dog always begs for food at the dinner table. I really want to feed him, but my mom says I can't. I'm afraid he won't like me anymore. What should I do?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

Your dog loves you for many more reasons than just for what you feed him. You can show him that you care about him by playing with him, by petting him and speaking kindly to him and by making sure he has fresh water. It might be best if your dog is not near the dinner table while you are eating. You could teach him to stay in another room.

Being Bilingual(会说双语的)

My aunt insists that we speak our language(Tagalog) at home and English outside the house. Do you think she is right?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

It is a great gift to have someone in your family who is willing to take the time to teach you another language. It's a good way to keep family traditions alive, and it helps develop your language skills. Your ability to use both English and Tagalog will help you learn a third and fourth language later in life. So it sounds like a great idea!

Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.

Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.

Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.

Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”

The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.

1.People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.

A. appreciate car tires. B. enjoy delicious meals

C. see the new robot chefs D. escape from work

2. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. British scientists B. The robot chef’s arms

C. Cooks at restaurants D. Household wives

3.Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?

A. Bread B. Beef C. Sushi D. Sandwich

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.

B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.

C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.

D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.
