Madison Williams was studying in her bedroom when her mother, Leigh Williams, came in and screamed, “A little boy fell into aseptic tank(化糞池)!” Then she asked her 13-yearold daughter if she could help.

Madison and Leigh ran to a neighbor’s yard, where they found the boy’s mad mother and other adults surrounding the septic tank.Madison quickly surveyed the situation.She was the only one who could fit through the small hole.Without hesitation, she got on her stomach next to the opening, placed her arms out in front of her, and told the adults, “Lower me in.”

Leigh and others held her waist and legs.Inside, the tank was dark, and the air terrible.In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist and arm so severely that the hand was useless.Rather than tend to her injury, Madison skimmed the surface of the wastewater,hoping to feel the drowning boy.“Every once in a while, I’d see his little toes out of the water,” she said.“Then I would try to grab them.” Minutes ticked by before she saw the faint outline of his foot again.Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly.“Pull me up!” she shouted to the others above.

As they were pulled to the surface, the boy’s free foot got stuck under the inside lip of the hole.“Lower me down!” she yelled.Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank,she and the boy were lifted out.

But the boy wasn’t out of trouble.He wasn’t breathing for the lack of oxygen.He was placed on his side, and an adult gave him several hard strikes on the back.It was only when Madison heard him cry that she knew he was all right.

VISITORS TO HENN’NA, a restaurant outside Nagasaki,Japan, are greeted by astrange sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots that bear a passing resemblance to the Terminator.The“head chef ”named Andrew, specializes in okonomiyaki, a Japanese pancake.Using his two long arms,he stirs batter(糊狀物) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill.While he waits for the batter to cook, he talks cheerily in Japanese about how much he enjoys his job.His robot colleagues, meanwhile, fry donuts, layer soft-serve ice cream into cups, and mix drinks.One made me a gin and tonic(杜松子酒).

H.I.S., the company that runs the restaurant, as well as a nearby hotel where robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage, turned to automation partly out of necessity.Japan’s population is shrinking, and its economy is booming; the unemployment rate is currently 2.8 percent.“Using robots makes a lot of sense in a country like Japan, where it’s hard to find employees,” CEO Hideo Sawada told me.

Sawadaspeculates that 70 percent of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated in the next five years.“It takes about a year to two years to get your money back,” he said.“But since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost’efficient to use the robot.”

This may seem like a vision of the future best suited—perhaps only suited—to Japan.But according to Michael Chui,a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, many tasks in the food’service and accommodation industry are exactly the kind that are easily automated.Chui’s latest research estimates that 54 percent of the tasks workers perform in American restaurants and hotels could be automated using currently available technologies—making it the fourth-most-automatable sector in the U.S.

28.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To describe ascene of Japan.

B.To lead in the topic of the passage.

C.To introduce some basic data of Japan.

D.To talk about the present situation of Japan.

29.In Sawada’s opinion, the company turned to automation because ________.

A.Japan has a large population

B.Japan’s economy is shrinking

C.it is difficult to find a job in Japan

D.it can reduce costs and improve efficiency

30.What is the author’s attitude to turning to automation?

A.Cautious.B.Favorable.C.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving.

31.What is the best title for the text?

A.Robots in Japan

B.Robots Closer to Reality

C.Robots’ Dream Coming True

D.Robots Will Transform Restaurants and Hotels

The majority of dogs used in research, upwards of 75%,are estimated(估計)to be used in pharmaceutical testing(臨床試驗), even though many scientists have concluded that they are poor predictors of drug effects in the human body.They are still used because regulatory authorities require that drugs be tested in both a rodent(嚙齒類的) and a non-rodent species for poisonousness, and the latter is often dogs, due to their ready availability, as well as their trusting and social nature, which makes them easy to handle.Dogs are also used in many other areas of biomedical research, including heart research, surgery, dental health and studies of hereditary(遺傳的) diseases, in addition to research on the health, nutrition and behavior of dogs themselves.

Beagles are the breed most often used in research because of their intermediate size and loving nature.Kevin J.Stafford, author of The Welfare of Dogs, speculated that“Their existence for some time as the laboratory dog may make it easier for handlers and research scientists to use them without becoming too emotionally attached to them”. When experiments call for larger animals, hounds(mongrels) are commonly used.Although the U.S.does not collect information on the species of dogs used in research, data obtained from Freedom of Information Act requests filed by NAVS revealed that many other dog breeds, including, but not limited to,Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Greyhounds, Pit Bulls and Schnauzers, are used as subjects at research facilities as well.

Most dogs used in research are purchased from Class A dealers, licensed commercial breeders that sell “purpose-bred”dogs specifically for research.They raise beagles, hounds and mongrel dogs and raise the animals to fulfill orders for canines ranging from 3360 pounds that are 6 to 12 months old.Most dogs sold for research are less than a year old.From a research perspective, dogs from Class A dealers have good health and good care, but they are expensive, costing over $700 per dog,based on the most current price list.

32.Why are dogs used in pharmaceutical testing according to Paragraph 1 ?

A.Because of their nature and their ready availability.

B.Because drugs are required to be tested in dogs.

C.Because of their intermediate size and loving nature.

D.Because they are good predictors of drug effects in the human body.

33.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

A.Dogs are a rodent species for poisonousness.

B.Dogs used in research are looked after well.

C.Dogs are used in many areas of biomedical research.

D.Dogs are used on research on the health and nutrition.

34.What can we know from the last paragraph?

A.Dogs from Class A dealers are in good condition.

B.Dogs from Class A dealers may be cheap.

C.Dogs sold for research are more than a year old.

D.Dogs sold for research need no official admission.

35.Where does this passage probably come from?

A.An advertisement.

B.Children’s literature.

C.ascience report.

D.Science fiction.

How to stay focused in class

Being relaxed during class is not only a bad habit, but it is also bad to your grade.Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable(有能力的) student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself, which will be very important in your future life.

36 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid them.Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class.This will get you into trouble.

Look at the teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking. 37 Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye.This person should have your full attention at all times during class.

Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson.Write down key points as your teacher speaks.And listen to the key phrases such as“This is important”“This is the main idea”“This will be on the test” etc. 38

Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student.When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. 39 This shows the teacher that you’re listening carefully during the class.

Ask a question. 40 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things your’e having difficulty with.Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was too afraid to ask!).Theyl’l be relieved, and so will you.

A.Avoid sitting with friends.

B.This can help you listen more attentively.

C.If he or she asks for an opinion, share your own.

D.Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.

E.He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.

F.The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.

G.If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask.
