I grew up and left home for college and since then,my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when I bought a house several years later,my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat.All he asked was to talk to him,but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago,my dad visited me.He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter.He asked me to have a talk with him,but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.I was in a hurry,so our conversation was short.Several hours later that day I received a call.My father was in the hospital.Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad.By the time I arrived at the hospital,my father had passed away.Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.I realized how little I knew about my dad,his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

22、Over the past 50 years, robots have become a normal part of our everyday lives. They build cars in factories, clean up dirt in the house and dismantle bombs in war zones. However, some inventors are creating a future where robots not only do our boring and dangerous jobs but also become a part of our families.
In 2019, a Japanese robotics company introduced LOVOT, a robot that weighs as much as a baby and looks like a mix between a penguin (企鹅) and a bear. Although LOVOT can’t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from mental problems such as loneliness and dementia (痴呆).
LOVOT has a system of sensors that allows it to move freely around a room and respond to things. For example, they will fall asleep when it’s held. Also, when LOVOT needs a hug, it will find its owner in the house and wait until it is picked up.
All over the world, robots like LOVOT are being used for “robot-assisted therapy (疗法).” For example, when a robot baby seal named PARO was given to an elderly Australian patient with dementia, the patient spoke for the first time since arriving at the nursing home. In New Zealand, when dementia patients were given the chance to play with PARO or a real dog, they chose to play with PARO. And in a Japanese elderly home, PARO reduced the stress levels of the elderly.
Robots like LOVOT and PARO are being developed at the perfect time. Many countries have “aging societies”, resulting in more people who not only need assistance with things like getting dressed and cooking meals but also friendship and love. Also, according to a research in Japan, 40 percent of all people in that country will be living alone by 2040, meaning loneliness among younger populations may also increase. However, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.
【1】The underlined word “dismantle” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.set off
B.pull down
C.pick up
D.hide away
【2】What do we know about LOVOT?
A.It can understand human emotion.
B.It looks and behaves like a lovely baby.
C.It can accompany babies falling asleep.
D.It can provide people with comfort and joy.
【3】Why is PARO mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To compare its use with that of LOVOT.
B.To explain how it helps people reduce stress.
C.To prove the use of robots as assisted therapy.
D.To describe its popularity with dementia patients.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of robots giving love.
B.The applications of robots in the future.
C.Reasons for needing companion robots.
D.Challenges of inventing companion robots.

24、It’s not unusual for us to be together with our relatives on the weekends. But you know that holidays can be the chances for families to get together. Also, it may be a time to break your relationship because of some improper conversations. Now, Deborah Tannen, a Georgetown University professor, offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table. Let’s take a look.
A round dinning table is best for promoting a lively conversation because everyone faces one another. So, avoid seating grandparents at the ends of a rectangular(长方形的)table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. The old may feel lonely there because they will be unable to hear or keep up with a conversation. So do female family members because they prefer to face each other when they talk. However, Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed looking at the TV or other interesting things.” says Tannen.
When talking, you should notice the people who are not involved in it. If you feel you are doing all the talk, wait to give others a chance to start. If you feel you can’t get a chance to speak, try to make yourself to start talking.
Besides, Some families find that gatherings will go better if they take part in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more enjoyable than sitting around talking.
【1】According to the passages, seating the old at the ends of a rectangular table _______.
A. might stop them from talking
