25、   It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The salesgirl told him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were much cheaper than roses.

“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special. It has to be roses. Roses are her favorite.”

After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the salesgirl said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man jumped with joy. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the salesgirl to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

26、In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.

You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的).

27、In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.

Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.

Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.

To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.

The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who losethem. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.

“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

【1】Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A. They cannot repair themselves.

B. The computer has changed a lot.

C. They have no computers inside.

D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.

【2】The new technology allows the robot to _________.

A. do house work for humans

B. keep working after being damaged

C. remember a lot of information

D. tell people where it is

【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.

A. sensors   B. robots

C. arms and legs   D. scientists

【4】How do the sensors in the robot work?

A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.

B. They can find out where the damage comes from.

C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.

D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

【5】The passage is probably from_____________.

A. a newspaper   B. an advertisement

C. a tour guide   D. an application

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the p  【1】 where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

If you d  【2】  that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w  【3】 that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h  【4】 with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on b 【5】  with each other. Knowing others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.

Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t  【6】  us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, s  【7】 it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or w  【8】  you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance because it will make e 【9】  life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and i  【10】. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.
