Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s      filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so       that I decided to write an article about her.
I           Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She       and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I       I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there        , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that       Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The       was almost unbearable. I struggled for days with draft after draft.          I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript         . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I       in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t      the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While       my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in       :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some       materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to       your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to         . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of           writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this               , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t              to doubt yourself.

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
How are social robots different from household robots?

What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?

What can Oshbot work as?

We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

What does the passage mainly present?

From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of  books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. “
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.
According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from________.

The teacher told his students to read______ .

Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that________.

Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?

From the teacher's point of view,_________ .

Many people’s English in reading or writing is good, but most of their spoken English is poor. How to improve your spoken English? Here are some tips.
Listen to a lot of high-quality spoken English. Listen to a higher level of language if you want good English. As a beginner, listen to instructional CDs or software. When you are ready, listen to quality news, documentaries and movies in English.
 You will need a lot of listening to improve your English, so commit to listening for an hour or mare every day.
 Read in English every day to increase your vocabulary. Read material you understand but gradually increase its challenge level. Try to read for 30 minutes to one hour every day.
Record your spoken English and listen to the playback. Try to hear your own strong and weak points. If you are taking an English class at a school with a language lab, ask for pronunciation software. Listen to the speakers, record your own speech and play it back to compare.    __
Pay attention to grammar when you speak. If you don’t know the rules, take a grammar class and ask English-speaking friends to correct you.     Language learning experts believe that we learn grammar better by hearing and reading the language.
    Seek out opportunities to talk to English speakers. Join a club, talk to travelers and make new friends who speak English. Enjoy activities with English speakers so that you use English in real-life situations. Speaking our thoughts aloud will also help you improve your oral English.

E.If you don’t live in an English-speaking country, find those sources on the Internet.
F. When you are alone at home or in the car, you can also speak English out loud for practice.
G. However, don’t expect grammar exercises to take the place of listening and reading.

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.
