6、In a house，the kitchen is most likely to change in the future．The refrigerator may be able to talk to the owner when some part of it wears out．So before it stops working，the refrigerator itself may let you know that there’s a problem．In addition，your fridge will also be able to tell you what are inside it．You don’t need to stand in front of an open refrigerator and look for what you want．When you have taken out the food from your refrigerator，your table may suggest recipes based on what you put on it．How is this possible? The reason is the tiny computer chips，called RFIDs．They will be put in all the equipment in your kitchen，and even in furniture．

Besides refrigerator and table，other equipment in your kitchen will benefit you because of the chips．The washing machine will know how to wash plates cleaner．And you will be able to control your oven with your cell phone．You put your dinner into the oven before you leave home，and your phone will tell the oven when to start cooking，so that the meal has been ready when you get home．When you go to a grocery2 store．the RFIDs will also help you a lot．You put the chips  in your shopping bag before leaving home，and then they will tell you what you already have in your refrigerator．And the chips will charge your credit card，so that you don’t need to wait for a  long time before the cash desk any more．

If you love all the things today’s kitchen can do for you，you’ll love what tomorrow’s kitchen will do for you．

4、We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” And Paul-“why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back，doubts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back，It’s too late．

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you，“You’re a lucky dog．” that’s being friendly．But “l(fā)ucky dog” ? There’s a bit of envy in those words．Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve（值得） your luck．

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole．But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important．It’s telling you to think of all the starving （挨餓的）people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night．

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture（姿態(tài)）? The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake．

3、Worrying about how you’ll perform on a math test may actually contribute to a lower test score，US researchers said on Saturday．

Math anxiety-feelings of dread and fear and avoiding math，can weaken the brain’s limited amount of working capacity（能力）-a resource needed to calculate difficult math problems，said Mark Ashcroft，a psychologist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas who studies the problem．

“It turns out that math anxiety occupies a person’s working memory，” said Ashcraft，who spoke at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco．

Ashcraft said while easy math tasks such as addition require only a small part of a person’s working memory，harder calculations require much more．Worrying about math takes up a large part of a person’s working memory stores as well，spelling disaster for the anxious student who is taking a high-stakes test （ 高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)測(cè)驗(yàn)）．

Stress about how one does on tests like college entrance exams can make even good math students choke．“All of a sudden they start looking for the short cuts，” said University of Chicago researcher Sian Beilock．

Although test preparation classes can help students get over this anxiety，they are limited to students whose families can afford them．Finally，she said，“It may not be wise to rely completely on scores to predict who will succeed．”

While the causes of math anxiety are unknown，Ashcraft said，“People who manage to get over math anxiety have completely normal math ability．”

（    ）1．What do we learn from Ashcraft’s words?

A．Math anxiety doesn’t take up a large part of a person’s working memory

B．The easier a task is，the smaller working memory it takes up．

C．It’s necessary to judge students by their performances in exams·

D．The longer a student works，the larger working memory stores he uses·

（    ）2．Sian Beilock points out that stress________．

A．can’t be avoided before college entrance exams

B．contributes to scores in college entrance exams

C．has no effects on good math students

D．has side effects on students in college entrance exams

（    ）3．What does the underlined word “spelling” probably mean?

A．causing                  B．reducing                C．taking away            D．preparing for

（    ）4．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．The causes of math anxiety have already been found．

B．A large number of students attend test preparation classes．

C．Math anxiety weakens working memory needed to do math．

D．Few measures can be taken to get rid of math anxiety．
