You would see a robot when you were reading a story or watching a movie, such as Star Wars. Today,
however, science stories are becoming true. More and more robots are starting to be used in factories and our
homes. These robots are different in size, shape and colour, but all of them have the same type of man-made
"brain". The robots that work in factories are called industrial robots.
These kinds of robots are cleverer and faster than the old ones. Industrial robots can do jobs that are often
boring and sometimes dangerous.
Robots are already coming into American homes, though not as quickly as they are going into factories.
We have made robots work at home. They can do some housework like cooking, or playing with people just
for fun.
These robots aren"t as friendly and clever as those in Star Wars. But their makers say, today"s home robots
can "walk" and find objects in their way, though sometimes they may knock into (撞上) those objects. They
can even carry objects, though sometimes they may drop those objects. Well, nobody is perfect. We may
laugh at home robots today,but some day they will do better than humans. We humans can only see certain
length of light, and hear certain sounds, while robots may see and hear better than we do.
In a word, robots will be widely used in our life in the future. |

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010,
a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature
neither too hot nor too cold for liquid (液态) water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could
have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth.
That is about 194 trillion (万亿) kilometres－500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years.
A human can"t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft
don"t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don"t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that
the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. It"s also at the right distance to have an
atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won"t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to
turn our radio telescopes (望远镜) towards the planet and search for radiation (放射). By studying the
radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals (化学物质) around the planet and discover it Gliese
581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has
life or not. But it"ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life
is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers. |
| 1. What did scientists find in September 2010? |
A. A planet with water.
B. A planet similar to the earth.
C. A planet without life.
D. A planet near the earth. |
| 2. According to the article, Gliese 581g ________. |
A. is at the right distance from its star
B. moves around the earth
C. is as far away from us as the moon
D. can be reached in about 220 years |
| 3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________. |
A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above? |
A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet.
B. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet.
C. Gliese 581g and Its Star.
D. Gliese 581g and Radiation. |

door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It"s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be
improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time
learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents" care and deal with all kinds of things they haven"t had to
do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean
of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study
well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost
of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.
Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training
hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic
Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again. | | Title: | Studying at 1________ or abroad | | Phenomenon (现象) | Studying abroad has become a 2________ for Chinese students. | | Advantages | ◆ It is helpful to the future 3________ of Chinese students. | | ◆ It helps to 4________ foreign language skills. | | ◆ It enables Chinese students to find jobs more 5________. | | 6________ | ◆ It 7________ Chinese students too much time to learn a

Study new words for tomorrow"s test. It"s going to be a long night.
This happens to students in America. Now it"s time to start a homework revolution (变革).
Do students in the United States receive too much homework? According to the National Education
Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For
example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a (B)_______ grader, 20 minutes, and
so on. This means that a student in my grade-seventh-should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C)
each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!
