Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
Accents are a sign of belonging and something that separates communities．Yet we can probably think of people who seem to have lost their accent and of others whose accent stays firmly in place．Given the personal and social importance of how someone speaks，why would anyone's accent change
课时分层作业（十二）
A conscious or subconscious desire to fit in can influence the way you speak．If someone moves from Australia to America to work，for example，they will probably at least change their accent in order to get a better sense of belonging．This may be out of a need or desire to be more clearly understood and to be accepted in a new community．They might also want to avoid ridicule for the way they speak．
For people whose accents do shift，the way they speak may be less important to their sense of identity，or their identity with a social or professional group may be more pressing．Even before we are born，we are exposed to the speech patterns of those around us．We progress through various stages of speech development that result in us having speech patterns similar to those around us．
For others whose accent does not seem to change，it could be because they feel safe in their identity，and their accent is much part of that identity — or that keeping the difference is valuable to them．
Meanwhile，brain damage may result in foreign accent syndrome (FAS)，which results from physical changes that are not under the speaker's control．Suffering from FAS，speakers may lose the ability to speak at all or experience strange changes in the way they pronounce．In some cases，listeners might look down upon a person with FAS as they believe them to be foreigners．It's no wonder many people unconsciously protect themselves by adapting their speech to those around them．

Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years．Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo．
While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools．For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad．This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user．
The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant．You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks．The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household．It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos．
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home．They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces．
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market．The company's “Oshbot”robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store．It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for．
The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns．But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees．“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，”said Breazeal．

There are many festivals in China，and my favorite festival is Spring Festival，which means a gather-together for me．
Spring Festival usually falls in January or February．It's a time for people who are busy for a whole year to go home．It's a custom to celebrate Spring Festival by having a big dinner，visiting relatives and friends，getting some red packets and letting off fireworks．
It seems that Spring Festival is not so lively as before．But it's still a significant event for Chinese around the world．It stands for the union and new beginning as well．

My Favorite Festival
There are many festivals in China，and my favorite festival is Spring Festival，which means a gather-together for me．
Spring Festival usually falls in January or February．It's a time for people who are busy for a whole year to go home．It's a custom to celebrate Spring Festival by having a big dinner，visiting relatives and friends，getting some red packets and letting off fireworks．
It seems that Spring Festival is not so lively as before．But it's still a significant event for Chinese around the world．It stands for the union and new beginning as well．
