11．We are in a world full of competition．Our parents compete （竞争） with others in their
o（66）ffices，our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges，and we compete with our classmates in school．Many of us give up in the face of competition and will n（67）everbe successful．Why can't we do better than others？One important r（68）easonis that we have no self-confidence．
In fact，everyone is born equal（平等的）．You can do w（69）hatothers do．A（70）lthoughyour classmates may be better than you in some ways，you may be better than them in other subjects．So everyone has his or her own a（71）dvantages．Don't look at things from a single （单个的） point of view．Try to discover your own advantages，and b（72）elievethat you can do better than others in those ways．
Competition is not so t（73）errible．Don't be afraid of it．And don't be afraid of those classmates w（74）hoare better than you．Remember that self-confidence is the first step to success．Believe in yourselves，and you will be s（75）uccessful one day．

10．In some science fiction movies，people in the future have their own robots．These robots are just like humans．They help with the housework and do the most（16）Ajobs．
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future．However，they agree it may take hundreds of years．Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and（17）Cthe same things as us．Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance．This kind of robots will also be fun to watch．
But robot scientist James White disagrees．He thinks that it will be（18）Dfor a robot to do the same things as a person．（19）B，it's easy for a child to wake up and know where he or she is．Mr．White thinks that robots won't be able to do this．But other scientists disagree．They think that robots will be able to talk to people（20）D25to 50years．
Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people．For example，there are already robots（21）B in factories．These robots look more like huge arms．They do simple jobs over and over again．People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored．But robots will（22）Bget bored．
In the future，there will be more robots everywhere，and humans will have（23）Awork to do．New robots will have many different（24）D．Some will look like humans，and others might look like（25）B．After an earthquake，a snake robot could help look for people under buildings．That may not seem possible now，but computers，space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago．We never know what will happen in the future!
