1．Let's Go to Beverley for the Christmas FestivalWhy go now？
This historic market town，Beverley，does the festive season well，particularly on the second Sunday in December，when it holds its Festival of Christmas now in its 21st year．Its Victorian market has 120 handicrafts（手工藝品），gifts and food stalls（貨攤）．Stall-holders dress in period costume（服裝），and there are rides and entertainment in streets decorated with fairy lights．
What else is there to do？
Beverley's minster（大教堂）was the inspiration for Westminster Abbey，but locals prefer St Mary's church．Founded in 1120，St Mary's church has beautifully carved and painted figures，including a rabbit which is said to have inspired the white rabbit in Alice Wonderland．A fun way to see the rest of the town，with its medieval gate and two marketplaces，is by following the Elwell Trail，22 paintings of local life by artists Fred and Mary Elwell．
Anywhere good to eat？
Run by brother and sister twins in a former court building，the Westwood restaurant does a generous two-course lunch for￡19.95．The less formal Potting Shed pub，new this summer，is rather barn-like but the pizzas and burgers are the best．
How about a drink？
Loads of choice．Most famous is the White Horse，known far and wide as Nellie's，with benches probably as old as its gas lights．Real wine lovers rate （看好） the Chequers Micro pub，and the redecorated King's Head has added a great cocktail station．
Anywhere to stay under￡100 a night？
Nice spots like Number One Beverley and the Game Bird pub are sold out for the festival．The Tudor Rose （ doubles from￡85）is friendly，if in need of an update，and close to all the action．

21．What can we infer about Beverley？B
A．lt was built 21years ago．
B．It is a nice place for shopping．
C．Fred and Mary Elwell were born there．

And yet these people，so grateful for a second chance at getting an education，unable to sometimes even afford the gas money to come in，manage to do something for us nearly every week．Some bring in food； others do chores around the center．They help and encourage one another，and us．They give what they are able to give．

6．Kanda really doesn't like to walk alone．The scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that he'd rather drive-even though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking us healthy．"I enjoy walking with someone，like with my wife，with my daughter，"Kanda said．"But they are not always available．"
So Kanda，who specializes in human-like bots，developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings，which，he hopes，might motivate people to get out and exercise more．The bot rests on a person's shoulder like a boxy parrot．It weights about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high，3.5 inches wide，and 10 inches long．A microphone，speaker，and internal camera allow it to communicate．It's even equipped with a smile．
Kanda and his team collected video form five different locations，including a garden and a shopping mall，and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location．Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics．A special speech software provided the robot with a voice．Near a group of parked cars，for example，it might say，"In a big parking lot，sometimes I forget where I parked．"
They tested the robot on 15 volunteers，10 males and 5 females，who were paid and averaged about 26 years old．"Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion（蒲公英）seeds into the air？"The robot asked a participant，who smiled and responded，"Yes，I often did that when I was a child．"Although several participants noted the robot's weight，Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience as strange or funny．"I guess people enjoy new technologies，"he said．
Just like a human partner，Kanda's bot isn't perfect．It's not able to go for walks in heavy rain and，while the robot can make expressions，it can't really hold a conversation，about which Kanda is most worried．Despite its limits，Kanda was comforted by the bot's presence．"I felt a kind of sense of being with someone，"he said，"particularly when it spoke．"

28．Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner？A
A．Because he wants someone to accompany him while walking．
B．Because he has never developed a robot like a parrot．
C．Because his family are unwilling to walk with him．
D．Because he is crazy about developing robots．
29．What characteristic does the robot have？A
A．It can"speak"and"see"．
B．It can walk like a human being．
C．It can communicate with people freely．
D．It is much more humorous than a real person．
30．What is necessary for the robot to function？D
A．A small size．
B．A boxy shape．
C．A human partner．
D．A speech software．
31．What is Kanda most likely to do about his robot next？B
A．To make it more convenient to carry．
B．To improve its conversational skills．
C．To enable it to walk in heavy rain．
D．To better its sound system．
