【题目】

Dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. Mom _______ at home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble learning, but my sister Catherine still could not _______ by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet.

My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some kind of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to _______ some help. Catherine made many friends at school and pleased with everyone for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn't master reading. After all the testing was done, the school had my _______ come in. They were told that according to the test results, they should just take Catherine home.

Tears of sadness ran down my dad's cheeks, but my mom made up her mind quietly. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, "I know she's not_______."

Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition ( 重复 ) and building slowly on the previous ( 先前的 ) exercises. She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told a crying Catherine, "_______ is not a choice. You are going to learn to read, and we'll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read."

In time, Catherine got it. By the time she graduated ( 毕业 ) from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued _______ and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school.

Catherine came to love reading and writing. All of this because of a wonderfully devoted ( 挚爱的 ) mother who was truly the best _______ ever—for all four of us.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.

Robots also helpdisabledpeople, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.

One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.

In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
