Robot teachers，who are working in elementary schools now，have been very popular with pupils during a project in some South Korean school，a government report said on Thursday.
The elementary school children get on well with the robot teachers.They like the robotic teachers more than the ordinary ones because they never get angry and always kind to the students.The Ministry of Knowledge said.
English teaching robots were sent to three provincial schools for eight weeks starting in late December.There they teach students as teachers.More and more students like studying and the other robot teachers were also sent out.They can teach math science and art.
The researchers found that the English﹣teaching robots helped raise interest in the language and helped the students feel more confident.
"Tele﹣presence" robots are controlled by an English and are equipped with a microphone and video camera.Many people think we can use these robot teachers in the village far away from the cities so that the children in these areas can also get better education.
The government has expressed great interest in robots to give rural school children more leaning chances.I think in the future we can see more and more robot teachers working with the students.But I think the robot teachers can't replace the real teachers.What's your opinion？

14．If you're ever apart from your children，a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug （拥抱）.
If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job，you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids.But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact （接触）.
In an experiment researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges一a stressful situation for anyone.Before the girls were set to give their answers，the researchers measured their levels of two hormones（荷尔蒙）：cortisol：which goes up during stressful periods，and oxytocin，the "love" hormone，which goes down at the same time.
After the girls finished the problems，some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away.The moms came in and hugged the girls.Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers but received phone calls from them，in which their mothers told them how well they'd done.The final group had no contact with their mothers，but instead watched an animal movie，March of the Penguins.
Finally the girls' hormone levels were measured again.Although the movie was interesting，it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety﹣ but，surprisingly，both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.
So no matter how old you are，if you're feeling stressed about something in your life，a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.
（1）If a girl is under stress， .
A.she can't solve math problems
B.she will have high levels of hormone
C.oxytocin will remain at a high level
D.cortisol will go up with oxytocin down
（2）Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out？
a.The girls' levels of hormones were measured again.
b.The girls solved math problems.
C.The girls' levels of hormones were measured.
d.The girls were divided into three groups.
A.b﹣c﹣d﹣a
B.d﹣b﹣c﹣a
C.c﹣b﹣d﹣a
D.d﹣c﹣b﹣a
（3）From the passage we can infer that .
A.it is easy for girls to solve math problems
B.the girls who had watched the movie remained anxious
C.mothers should hug their kids as often as possible
D.older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A.A mother's voice can comfort her anxious kids.
B.Mothers should often hug their kids.
C.Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.
D.Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.
15．There are some very good inventions which，for one reason or another，don't become popular.These inventions should be better known，even though I think that some of them are crazy.Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.
The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving.The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car，she or he would have to blow into a bag first.If there was too much alcohol（酒精） in their breath，the car wouldn't start.It sounded like a great idea to me but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol.Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who though his children watched too much TV.He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated（产出） by the bike.If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV，they had to pedal（踩踏板） very hard.I found another invention on the Internet which was intended （倾向于） to encourage good habits.Believe it or not，this invention was an ashtray（烟灰缸） which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette!The "voice" of the ashtray was activated （启动） by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers!The idea was that when you came to a river，you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike.You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball!Why not use a bridge instead？A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes.On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs （动钉垫）.The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you.The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not!I think he wore those shoes twice!One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free.While we are on the subject of sport，the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans.If you were watching your team on TV on your own，you could press a button and the robot would do "high fives" with you!Fantastic!I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.
（1）What's the writer's attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2？
A.The writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.
B.The writer wonders if the inventions will be popular soon.
C.The writer thinks people will benefit from the inventions.
D.The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.
（2）The underlined word "inflate" in the third paragraph means .
A.check out
B.blow up
C.look into
D.turn over
（3）What's the best title for the passage？
A.Popular Inventions Today.
B.Technology and Invention.
C.The History of Invention.
D.Inventions with a Difference.

14．If you're ever apart from your children，a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug （拥抱）.
If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job，you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids.But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact （接触）.
In an experiment researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges一a stressful situation for anyone.Before the girls were set to give their answers，the researchers measured their levels of two hormones（荷尔蒙）：cortisol：which goes up during stressful periods，and oxytocin，the "love" hormone，which goes down at the same time.
After the girls finished the problems，some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away.The moms came in and hugged the girls.Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers but received phone calls from them，in which their mothers told them how well they'd done.The final group had no contact with their mothers，but instead watched an animal movie，March of the Penguins.
Finally the girls' hormone levels were measured again.Although the movie was interesting，it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety﹣ but，surprisingly，both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.
So no matter how old you are，if you're feeling stressed about something in your life，a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.

（3）B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的句子"Although the movie was interesting，it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety﹣but，surprisingly，"虽然这部电影很有趣，但但令人惊讶的是它并没有减少孩子们的焦虑。可知，看电影并没有减少孩子们的焦虑情绪，故答案为B。
（4）A 主旨大意题。根据短文最后一段no matter how old you are，if you're feeling stressed about something in your life，a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.可知，作者认同实验结论，妈妈的声音会像拥抱一样安慰孩子的心灵。故答案为A。
15．There are some very good inventions which，for one reason or another，don't become popular.These inventions should be better known，even though I think that some of them are crazy.Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.
The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving.The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car，she or he would have to blow into a bag first.If there was too much alcohol（酒精） in their breath，the car wouldn't start.It sounded like a great idea to me but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol.Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who though his children watched too much TV.He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated（产出） by the bike.If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV，they had to pedal（踩踏板） very hard.I found another invention on the Internet which was intended （倾向于） to encourage good habits.Believe it or not，this invention was an ashtray（烟灰缸） which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette!The "voice" of the ashtray was activated （启动） by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers!The idea was that when you came to a river，you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike.You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball!Why not use a bridge instead？A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes.On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs （动钉垫）.The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you.The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not!I think he wore those shoes twice!One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free.While we are on the subject of sport，the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans.If you were watching your team on TV on your own，you could press a button and the robot would do "high fives" with you!Fantastic!I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.

（2）B.词义猜测题。根据The idea was that when you came to a river，you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike.这个想法是，当你来到河边时，你可以在自行车周围inflate一个巨大的塑料球。可知是给塑料球冲气。故选B。

14．If you're ever apart from your children，a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug （拥抱）.
If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job，you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids.But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact （接触）.
In an experiment researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges一a stressful situation for anyone.Before the girls were set to give their answers，the researchers measured their levels of two hormones（荷尔蒙）：cortisol：which goes up during stressful periods，and oxytocin，the "love" hormone，which goes down at the same time.
After the girls finished the problems，some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away.The moms came in and hugged the girls.Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers but received phone calls from them，in which their mothers told them how well they'd done.The final group had no contact with their mothers，but instead watched an animal movie，March of the Penguins.
Finally the girls' hormone levels were measured again.Although the movie was interesting，it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety﹣ but，surprisingly，both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.
So no matter how old you are，if you're feeling stressed about something in your life，a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.
（1）If a girl is under stress， D .
A.she can't solve math problems
B.she will have high levels of hormone
C.oxytocin will remain at a high level
D.cortisol will go up with oxytocin down
（2）Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out？ C
a.The girls' levels of hormones were measured again.
b.The girls solved math problems.
C.The girls' levels of hormones were measured.
d.The girls were divided into three groups.
A.b﹣c﹣d﹣a
B.d﹣b﹣c﹣a
C.c﹣b﹣d﹣a
D.d﹣c﹣b﹣a
（3）From the passage we can infer that .
A.it is easy for girls to solve math problems
B.the girls who had watched the movie remained anxious
C.mothers should hug their kids as often as possible
D.older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？ A
A.A mother's voice can comfort her anxious kids.
B.Mothers should often hug their kids.
C.Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.
D.Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.
【解答】（1）D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容"cortisol，which goes up during stressful periods，and oxytocin，the‘"love" hormone，which goes down at the same time."可知，皮质醇激素升高，表明压力增加，而"爱"的激素"oxytocin"则相应下降，故答案为D。
（2）C 细节理解题。根据第三，四，五段的内容可知，研究的顺序是___；the researchers measured their levels of two hormones（荷尔蒙）先测荷尔蒙；After the girls finished the problems，研究人员测量了她们两种荷尔蒙的水平，在女孩们解决问题后，some of them got to meet up.with their mothers right away他们中的一些人必须马上和他们的母亲见面。Finally，the girls'hormone levels were measured again.最后再测荷尔蒙。故答案为C。
（3）B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的句子"Although the movie was interesting，it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety﹣but，surprisingly，"虽然这部电影很有趣，但但令人惊讶的是它并没有减少孩子们的焦虑。可知，看电影并没有减少孩子们的焦虑情绪，故答案为B。
（4）A 主旨大意题。根据短文最后一段no matter how old you are，if you're feeling stressed about something in your life，a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.可知，作者认同实验结论，妈妈的声音会像拥抱一样安慰孩子的心灵。故答案为A。
15．There are some very good inventions which，for one reason or another，don't become popular.These inventions should be better known，even though I think that some of them are crazy.Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.
The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving.The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car，she or he would have to blow into a bag first.If there was too much alcohol（酒精） in their breath，the car wouldn't start.It sounded like a great idea to me but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol.Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who though his children watched too much TV.He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated（产出） by the bike.If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV，they had to pedal（踩踏板） very hard.I found another invention on the Internet which was intended （倾向于） to encourage good habits.Believe it or not，this invention was an ashtray（烟灰缸） which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette!The "voice" of the ashtray was activated （启动） by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.
One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers!The idea was that when you came to a river，you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike.You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball!Why not use a bridge instead？A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes.On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs （动钉垫）.The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you.The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not!I think he wore those shoes twice!One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free.While we are on the subject of sport，the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans.If you were watching your team on TV on your own，you could press a button and the robot would do "high fives" with you!Fantastic!I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.
（1）What's the writer's attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2？ C
A.The writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.
B.The writer wonders if the inventions will be popular soon.
C.The writer thinks people will benefit from the inventions.
D.The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.
（2）The underlined word "inflate" in the third paragraph means .
A.check out
B.blow up
C.look into
D.turn over
（3）What's the best title for the passage？ D
A.Popular Inventions Today.
B.Technology and Invention.
C.The History of Invention.
D.Inventions with a Difference.
【解答】（1）C.推理判断题。根据The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving..…Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who though his children watched too much TV.澳大利亚人有一个很好的主意阻止人们饮酒和开车.….我喜欢的另一个想法是一位科学家的发明，他认为他的孩子们看了太多电视。可知作者认为人们将从这些发明中受益。故选C。
（2）B.词义猜测题。根据The idea was that when you came to a river，you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike.这个想法是，当你来到河边时，你可以在自行车周围inflate一个巨大的塑料球。可知是给塑料球冲气。故选B。
（3）D.主旨大意题。根据Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.让我们看看其中一些发明，看看你是否同意他们应该更成功。可知本文主要是介绍一些为生活带来不同的发明。故选D。
