Researchers are placing robotic dogs(機(jī)器狗)in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck，an expert in human animal relationship，and Nancy Edwards，a professor of nursing，are leading the animal assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression，physical activity，and life satisfaction.“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，challenged，or stimulated(刺激)，”Edwards points out.“The problem is how we promote(使……成為現(xiàn)實(shí))that，especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study，the robot，called AIBO，is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home，researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then，the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time，and he responds to my voice，”says a seventy year old lady.“When I’m watching TV，he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs，especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercises and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning，it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog，because it was metal and not furry.”Beck says.“But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
Hopefully，down the road，these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure，oxygen levels，or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate old people’s minds.
小題1:The purpose of Beck and Edwards’  study is to________.
A．understand human animal relationship
B．make lonely old people’s life better
C．find the causes of old people’s loneliness
D．promote the animal assisted research
小題2:In the research，the old people are asked to________.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．record their feelings and activities
D．a(chǎn)nalyze the collected information
小題3:What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A．It is easier to keep at home.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human orders.
D．It can watch TV with its owner.
小題4:The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may________.
A．cure certain diseases
B．keep old people active
C．change people’s beliefs
D．look more like real dogs
小題5:According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The professors are leading the animal assisted study concerning old people’s life.
B．The AIBOs will always listen to their owners without their own minds.
C．The researchers will know from the data whether AIBO can help its owner.
D．AIBOs can have games with the old people to stimulate their minds.

While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruiningg their life plans, I couldn’t help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, certainly share their disappointment : my husband and I probably won’t be able to buy a house until we’re in our 40s, and we two are burdened by student loans(貸款). But why should it be any different? Being young persons in America, shouldn’t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won’t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can’t afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury(奢華), not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old in the story is disappointed that he can’t afford to get a Ph. D in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it’s sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people’s expectations grew up at a time when everyone’s wealth appeared to be increasing, Their parents probably saw their home values rise along with their investments. “So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.
This recession(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful---for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day---than on longing for some kind of luxury life.
小題1:. What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A．They expect everything to be easy for them.
B．They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.
C．They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.
D．They are burdened by student loans.
小題2:. The underlined word “fertility” in paragraph 3 probably means“_____”.
A．baby productionB．pleasantC．baby comfortD．comfortable
小題3:. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A．They can’t have children for at least a decade a decade to buy a house.
B．They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C．They can’t buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D．They despair at not being able to afford a PH. D in literature.
小題4:. What’s the Kobliner’s attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations?
A．UnbearableB．OppositeC．DoubtfulD．Understanding
小題5:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Young people afford to continue their study
B．Young people can’t afford to buy a house
C．Young people’s high hopes create despair
D．The 20-somethings’ high expectations

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on stage by a museum official. I will be an interpreter, talking from experience as a disability rights lawyer and activist.
In “special” schools and camps for children with physical and mental disabilities, I grew up knowing we were a category of person that the world did not want. Most of us had a story of some doctor advising our parents to put up away or to let us die. We owed our survival to parents who had irrationally(不理性地) bonded with us. We knew we were lucky and hoped our luck would hold. To increase the chance of surviving, we tended to be charming. We developed thick skins.
By the time I roll onto the stage the next night, I’ve thought a lot about there and here, then and now. When the first question comes, I tell them about my fascination with the wheelchair, and somehow it sounds funny, and laughter fills the room. We talk from the horror of Nazis killing (Nazis once killed the disabled patients as useless) to a funny confession that I, too, tend to stare at disabled people on the street.
What has come over me? In this room, people with disabilities in thrilling variety make me feel at home. Here people, disabled and not, are gathered by choice.
I haven’t forgotten that 2 million people remain in US disability institutions, that some disabled children still cannot attend mainstream schools, that too many of us live in poverty. But I can’t hold onto anger and sorrow for I feel a shared sense of possibility, a drive for a world that will embrace both the fit and the unfit and hold them so dear that the division dies.
