B
Babies love chocolate, and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example . She doesn't like newspapers very much .
Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees , and trees are plants: Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them . So can we also eat wood and paper?
Scientists say: “ All food comes in some way from plants. ” Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat sea-plants; then bigger fish swim along and eat them . Chickens eat bits of grass and give us eggs . What food does not come from plants in some way?
Scientists can do wonderful things with plants . They can make food just like meat. And they can make it without the help of animals . It is very good food, too . Now they have begun to say : “ We make our paper from wood . We can also make food from wood . The next thing is not very difficult . ”
What is the next thing? Perhaps it is food from paper. Scientists say;“We can turn paper into food . It will be good , cheap food too : cheaper than meat or fish or eggs . ”
So please keep your old books and letters . One day , soon , they will be on your plate. There is nothing like a good story for breakfast .

Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, b  48  saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find o 49 , I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.    It can boost （促進(jìn)） productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, a 50  assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to p 51 , and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.

Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were more likely to kiss one hand with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say，pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos t 52  unpleasant ones. My experience was similarly. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far l 53  often than my rural one. Similarly, people in vacation spots, l 54  the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown. 

It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello w 55  smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient （接受者）。

A group of students in Japan have created a realistic robot baby to motivate young people to start planning a family so as to increase the country’s birth rate. The automated (自動(dòng)化的)doll developed at the University of Tsukuba, called Yotara, laughs and “wakes up” when a rattle is shaken.
He can become angry and sleep like a real baby and he smiles when his stomach is pressed. The robot can also sneeze and have a runny nose, thanks to a heated water pump system. The students of the Graduate school of Comprehensive Human Science at the university created the robot last year with touch sensors. A projector sends the facial features onto a warm silicon balloon which makes up Yotara’s face. The robot’s facial expression and body movements change according to pressure applied to different parts of its body.
The information collected through touch sensors（傳感器）under the silicon skin is processed by a special programme. It then changes the baby’s expression projected onto the balloon-face from behind. There is a hat on the robot’s head and a colorful blanket covering the robot’s limbs which simulate wiggling(擺動(dòng)) with the help of a geared motor. “We wanted to create a new type of robot that is soft, cuddly and cute,” said project leader Hiroki Kunimura.
“We’d like people to experience the innocent, joyful expressions typical of small babies. Through this experience, it would be great if some people started feeling that they wanted to have their own baby, if they started feeling that work is not everything.”
Japan’s birth rate is among the lowest in the developed world at 1.37%, compared to 2.12% in the United States and l.84%in Britain. Japan is facing serious economic consequences with over a quarter of its citizens expected to be aged over 65 by 20l5.The population is expected to reduce by a third within 50 years if the birth rate does not increase．
【小題1】. What is the students’ purpose of creating such a baby?

A．To help old people who live alone．B．To give small children some pleasure
C．To comfort lonely young people．D．To increase the population of Japan．
【小題2】What’s the new type of robot like in Hiroki Kunimura’s mind?
A．It can do everything for humans．B．It is clever, humorous and loyal．
C．It is gentle, lovely and smart．D．It makes humans unhappy．
【小題3】. What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many young people in Japan don’t want to get married．
B．There may be a lack of workers in Japan in the future．
C．The lifespan(壽命)of Japanese people will decrease in the future．
D．The birth rate in Japan will start to increase slowly soon．
