  Robots aren't only in the movies or on TV.One “real” robot recently married a couple at a wedding ceremony in Tokyo, Japan.

  Fifty guests stood as the music played and the bride(新娘)walked down towards the groom(新郎).Only one guest stayed seated-the minister(牧師), who happened to be a robot.For this special ceremony, the four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore flowers around her head.I-Fairy's eyes flashed colored lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride.The wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to the company that built I-Fairy.

  A robot might seem like an unusual choice(選擇)to lead a wedding, but if you knew the couple you would think I-Fairy was the perfect choice.That's because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built I-Fairy.The newly married couple hopes their wedding will encourage more uses for robots.They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they might use robots to do “everyday things” in their lives in the near future.

閱讀理解,閱讀下面的短文,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。

  When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, at the same time they usually talk about a lot of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives.When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up.Men can either talk or watch the screen-they can't do both-and they don't understand that women can.Besides(此外), women think that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring(盯著)at the screen.

  During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot(the story that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.)and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going.He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally(情緒上).Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully because they want to keep relationships.For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends.For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.

  Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship.A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.

  There is no convincing(令人信服的)evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls’ mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys.Psychiatrist Dr.Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than baby boys.Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children.Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we talk to them more.As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in reply.

(1)

While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they ________.

[  ]

A.

are afraid of silence with their families and friends

B.

can both talk and watch the screen at the same time

C.

think they can have a good time and develop relationships

D.

have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands

(2)

After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours so as to ________.

[  ]

A.

experience the happy time again

B.

keep a close tie with her

C.

recommend her a new wonderful place

D.

remind her of something forgotten

(3)

What does the writer want to tell us most?

[  ]

A.

Women's brains are better organized for language and communication.

B.

Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.

C.

Men do not like talking because they believe more in facts.

D.

Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.

(4)

Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

[  ]

A.

Women Are Socially Trained to Talk

B.

Talking Keeps Relationships

C.

Women Love to Talk

D.

Men Talk Differently from Women

  Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers.There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe(賄賂)him.Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.

  Even friends may never exchange presents.When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't.I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine.If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant.But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-won't go wrong, except to government employees(政府職員)who can't be given presents.

  You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents.You should only say, ‘It's so nice.Thanks…’when you get Christ mas or birthday presents.

  You may want to bring a bottle of wine(葡萄酒)or flowers to a dinner party, but you’re never asked to.Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.

  At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends.We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year like doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders-anyone who has often helped us.

閱讀理解

  You either have it, or you don't-a sense of direction, that is.But why is that some people would find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

  Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory(理論) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't have it, we lose it.

  “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of this project.“However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”

  Jim Martland also emphasized(強(qiáng)調(diào)) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions:

  If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.

  If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return, go back along the same route.

  The simple way of finding your direction is by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help you find out where you are.

  Now you will never get lost again!

(1)

Scientists believe that.

[  ]

A.

only some babies are born with a sense of direction

B.

people never lose their sense of direction

C.

people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

D.

everybody has a sense of direction from birth

(2)

What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

They never have a sense of direction without a map.

B.

They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.

C.

They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.

D.

They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

(3)

If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should.

[  ]

A.

tie it to the tree in order to prevent it from being stolen

B.

draw a map of the route to help remember where it is

C.

take the different routes when you come back to it

D.

remember something easily recognizable(可辨認(rèn)的) on the route
