Dancing robots
Humans have designed many different kinds of robots. Some robots blow stuff up; some lift heavy things; while others go to other planets and check things out.
And here is a new robot first: as an art project, creators Fernando Orellana and Brendan Burns have made a robot that uses human dreams as an inspiration for dance moves. By examining recorded brainwave activity and eye movements during Rapid Eye Movement (REM), the Sleep Waking robot finds certain patterns, and translates these patterns into robo-motion.
The movements are not very precis—say you had a dream that you are swimming after a fish in a stream, don’t expect this robot to act this out exactly—but the robot will follow the general progress of your dream: so if you are running in your dream, the robot’s activity will be quicker; if you are lounging around in your dream, the robot’s activity will be slower. If you are looking left in a dream, the robot will gather this from your eye movements, and look left as well.
The Sleep Waking robot is now on display at EXIT ART in New York City. Orellana and Burns built the robot to show people how robots are moving beyond mere tools, and evolving towards becoming like their human creators.
31．What can robots do
A．Blow stuff up. B．Carry heavy things.
C．Check equipment on other planets. D．All of the above.
32．What does the Sleep Waking robot do
A．It just finds certain patterns.
B．It finds certain patterns, and transfers images.
C．It finds certain patterns, and translates them into robo-motion.
D．It does brainwave activities and makes eye movements
33．The Sleep Waking robot can act exactly when it follows the________ of people’s dreams.
A．complex progress B．general progress
C．fish swimming D．difficult actions
34．If you are looking right in a dream, the robot will ________.
A．look left B．look right C．close its eyes D．stands still
35．The Sleep Waking robot is on display in________ now.
A．China B．England C．New York City D．Canada
B
Today, with the development of society, people all over the world have the same hobbies. That is to say, we are not very different in some ways. However, cultures are still quite different. In the East and in the West, social rules are not the same.
In the East, it takes a long time to become someone’s friend. However, when people become friends, they will know each other very well and share almost everything in their lives. When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away. That doesn’t mean they are close to you. When people from the East meet you, they want to know about your age, your salary (薪水) and whether you have been married or not. For people from the West, these are impolite questions. They think such kinds of questions violate their privacy (隐私).
Family is important to everyone. In the East, kids live with their parents for a long time. They still listen to their parents after they grow up. However, in the West, independence is very important. After the kids grow up, they leave home and don't need to listen to their parents' advice any more.
In the East and in the West, people think differently, too. People in the West think about small details. They also think less and act more. But in the East, people pay attention to relationships between things, and they often keep their opinions quiet.
36．People in the East and in the West ________.
A．enjoy the same food every day B．see completely different films

Sometimes we may argue with our friends. James is my best friend. We often played together every day. But on his last birthday, he got a new iPhone from his grandpa. Then he always played the mobile games and didn’t go out any more. I told him it was not good to play mobile games all day long. James was angry at first. But after several days, James knew that I was right and he thanked me for being a true friend.
I think a true friend is important. We should help our friends when they are in trouble. And we should give right advice when our friends do something wrong.
