Ann wanted to play in the city orchestra (管弦樂隊), but she was nervous (緊張的). She thought it might be too difficult. The first day she was so nervous, and she could hardly breathe. After a few rehearsals (排練), she could comfortably play along with everyone else. She found that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.

In rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny. Danny sat next to her and always helped her. Ann often asked him questions about music. Danny’s parents were musicians. They started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn’t imagine playing the violin at that age.

Ann’s another friend in the orchestra was Marie. After rehearsal, Marie would tell Ann funny stories. Though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.

The orchestra was rehearsing music for a concert. Ann invited some of her friends at school to come. Though they didn’t understand music, they promised to come. They all liked Ann and wanted to cheer her. Ann’s family also planned to go to the concert. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert.

On the night of the concert, Ann was excited. Danny and Marie both told her that the concert would be fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor (指揮) Mike was nervous. Ann was surprised because she knew that he conducted many big concerts all over the world. After the concert was over, the conductor seemed happy. He said the orchestra gave a fine performance.

科目：初中英語 來源：牛津譯林版英語九年級下 Unit 3 測試卷 （word版附答案） 題型：閱讀理解

Recently in a class in Tokyo, a robot teacher called Saya called out the names of students, and smiled at them. Her funny face made the students laugh. However, the inventor says she is not going to take the place of human teachers.

Unlike other robots without feelings, Saya has six feelings—surprise, fear, dislike, anger, happiness and sadness. She can also say simple phrases such as “Thank you” and “Sorry”.

“Robots that look like humans have an important influence on children and older people,”

Hiroshi Kobayashi, Saya’s developer, said.

Saya was first invented as a receptionist (接待員) robot in 2004. Later, she was tested in a real Tokyo classroom with many fifth and sixth grade students. “Although she still can’t do much more than call out names and shout orders like ‘Be quiet’, the children had great fun,” Kobayashi says. “They were very happy when Saya called out their names.”

Ronald C. Arkin, a scientist, says people should do more study on the interaction (互動)

between humans and robots before people depend on robots too much.

Kobayashi says, “Saya is just meant to help people, and we should not hold too much hope for her ability. She has no thought and no ability to learn. She is just a tool.”

1.Saya is .

A. a Japanese woman teacher B. a Japanese girl

C. a robot teacher D. a scientist

2.Saya first worked as .

A. a teacher B. a receptionist C. a student D. a developer

3.According to the passage, Saya cannot .

A. smile to people B. say some simple phrases

C. call out students’ names D. think or learn

4.Ronald C.Arkin mainly tells us that .

A. people should do more to improve the interaction between humans and robots

B. people shouldn’t depend on robots

C. robots have an important influence on humans

D. Saya will be the best teacher

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Saya is not going to take the place of human teachers.

B. Saya has seven feelings.

C. Robots that look like humans influence children and older people.

D. Saya is designed as a tool to help humans.
