A
I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I spied a well-dressed man dashing down the steps. He was hailing me. I waited until he jumped into the cab. "LaGuardia Airport, please," he said.
As always, I wondered about my passenger. "What do you do?" “I’m in the neurology department at this hospital. " For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help.
"Could I ask a favor of you?" He didn't answer. "I have a. son, 16. He's doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job?" After a pause, he said, "The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record. " He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket. "Robbie," I announced proudly, "this could be a summer job for you. Send him your school record. " He read it out loud: "Fred Plum, New York Hospital. " "Is this a joke?" he said in disbelief. Afire I yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next miming.
'Iowa weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made tom feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. To our delight, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.
It never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my son's future.

Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new. But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland.
If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular web site YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot. University of Maryland professor Hyannis Alimonies, leader of the group, said "there exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize on. "
"At present, the videos are fed electronically," said research scientist Cornelia Ferule, "Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking," she explained. "And, as the robot advanced, it reacted to good quality videos. And it will react to even lower quality home-mace videos. "
So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad mad observing the results.
But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program? Alimonies believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility. He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it loams during a certain task, the so-called feedback; another: the introduction of language.
"I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical language," he added. "But," he said, "we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us. "
25. The underlined phrase "capitalize on" probably can be replaced by____.
A. take hold of B. make use of
C. keep track of D. catch sight of
26. Alimonies probably agrees that at present the robot .
A. can not fully digest what it loams
B. can not make a simple salad
C. can follow home-made videos
D. can understand metaphorical language
27. Robots are taught to understand a video mainly because
A. they can easily follow fixed programs
B. they are smart enough to learn cooking
C. cooking videos are more interesting to watch
D. predetermined instructions are not flexible
28. Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Robots Creating a New World
B. Robots Making Cooking Videos
C. Robots Laming to Cook by Watching Videos
D. Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions

The spread of Western eating habits around the wood is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the We stem diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent t0 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical（熟带的） areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr. Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, "a dilemma": a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
32. According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .
A. transportation B. developing countries
C. agriculture D. developed countries
33. David Tilman believes that .
A. diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B. the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C. people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D. traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
34. We can infer from the passage that _ .
A. Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B. overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C. the examined information comes from developing countries
D. industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
35. The main purpose of the passage is to _ .
A. can on us to protect the environment
C. remind us of the importance of health
B. warn us of the danger of the Western diet
D. advise us to have a balanced diet

In our comparison-soaked culture, it’s hard to avoid slipping into “Why can’t I?” mode. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn’t help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us. 36 Here’s what I learned:
Don’t compare your insides to someone else’s outsides.
The first time I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor’s warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there”. Don’t just owe it to pure luck. 37 ”
She was absolutely right, yet it’s much easier to envy what they’ve got than it is to ask the serious question; what are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? 38
Transform comparison into celebration.
Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. 39 If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you wants to be braver.
40
Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone’s success, take a moment to consider: what qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in others can help we see our own.
A. Use the success of others as a mirror.
B. Learn to appreciate others' shining points
C. How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.
D. However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored.
E. Instead, you should fad out what's really going on behind the scenes
F. And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life
G. When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.

As a tour guide of an international travel agency, I find it so embarrassing to see many Chinese tourists behave badly abroad. They speak loudly in public places, carve characters on tourist attractions, throw rubbish, spit everywhere, and even cross the road when the traffic lights are still red. Such bad behavior overseas has caused damage to the country’s reputation.
Measures should be taken to stop this. First, before going abroad, tourists should be trained to obey social and public order, and respect local religions and customs. Besides, kindergartens and primary schools should do more to teach the kids to be responsible citizens. Last, laws should be made to punish those who behave badly in public places. I hope soon tourists overseas will change their behavior and win respect for themselves and our country.
