         Much  as Robby tried,he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏).But he dutifully reviewed his lessons.Over the months he tried and tried,and often repeated to me "My mom's going to hear me play some day."

         Several weeks later my students were to have a recital (演奏会).To my surprise,Robby came,asking to play in the recital.
         "But,it is for current pupils,you dropped."
         "My mom was sick.But I have been practicing.I've just got to play!"
         I didn't know what led me to agree,maybe...
         The recital came.I_put_Robby_up_last_to_play_before_my_"curtain_closer",by which,I could save the recital if...
         The recital went off well.Robby came up on stage,clothes wrinkled and his hair looked like he'd run an eggbeater through it."How could his mom...?"

    heard next.Like in a dream,I was then woken up by the wild applause-everybody was on their feet!
         "I've never heard you play like that,Robby!How'd you do it?"
         Through the microphone Robby explained:"Well,Miss Hondorf,remember I told you my mom was
    sick?Actually she had cancer and died this morning.She was born deaf,and tonight was the first time she
    ever heard me play.I wanted to make it special."

         Autumn means different things to different people.It all depends on your personality,said British
    naturalist Richard Mabey."Personality shapes your view of the season," he said."You may see it as a fading away,a packing up (结束),or as a time of packing in another sense-the excited gathering of resources
    before a long journey."
         If this is true,perhaps it tells us a little about,for instance,Thomas Hood,the 19th century English poet.
    About November,he wrote:
         No warmth,no cheerfulness,no healthful ease
         No
    shade,no shine,no butterflies,no bees
         November!
         On the other hand,another English poet John Keats,already sensing he was seriously ill,was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language,To Autumn.He wrote
    to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.
         According to Richard Mabey,Keats has the biological evidence on his side.Autumn is not a time of
    slowing down,but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.For example,just at the
    moment that Keats's "gathering swallows" (in To Autumn) are departing for Africa,millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland,Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain.According to scientists,before falling,the leaves transfer their chlorophyll (叶绿素) and
    carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safekeeping over winter.What remains are the natural
    antioxidants (防老剂) in the leaves:the yellow and orange carotenoids (类胡萝卜素),and another
    protective chemical specially produced for autumn,the brightred anthocyanin (花青素).High color is not a signal of deterioration (退化) and decline,but of detox (排毒的) ability and good health.
         A century after Keats,the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal:"Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn,and that we could disintegrate (分解) like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll.Would_not_our attitude_towards death_be_different?"
    1. From Thomas Hood's poem,we may infer that________.
    A. he suffered a lot from cold November
    B. he missed the shining summer days very much
    C. he had a negative attitude towards autumn
    D. he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much
    2. Which word can best describe John Keats's attitude towards autumn?
    A. Optimistic.  
    B. Fearful.  
    C. Doubtful.  
    D. Realistic.
    3. In autumn,leaves turn yellow before falling because________.
    A. they can't bear the freezing
    B. they can't get enough water from the woody part
    C. chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves
    D. chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the woody part.
    4. What does the underlined sentence mean?
    A. Man can never live long,just as leaves must leave the tree annually.
    B. Man is different from autumn leaves,which will come again the next spring.
    C. Man should treat death calmly,just like autumn leaves fall to the ground.
    D. Man should have a positive attitude towards death,quite different from autumn leaves.

         Back in the 1970s,the robots were coming for our boring manufacturing (生产) jobs.Now,they're
    coming for our boring table service jobs.Korean company ITM Technology has developed the restaurant
    concept around a little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter.Robo Cafe avoids ordering errors,reduces
    staffing costs greatly for restaurant owners,and even brings the boss all the tips.
         Japan is preparing for some very tough times ahead.When its aging population become too old to
    work,labor is going to be in severe shortage.So inventive technology departments are exploding with really fascinating ideas to take the pressure off when it hits.
         To small cafe and restaurant owners,the solution might well look something like Robo Cafe,a restaurant designed to operate as efficiently as possible with the absolute minimum human workforce possible.The
    building needs to be designed with small horizontal (水平的) pathways leading from the kitchen to all the
    tables.A small team of waiter robots can then get around to every table in the house when they're asked to come.Customers can either order orally,or touch a screen on the robot's belly.When the kitchen has
    finished preparing the food,the robot brings it out to customers.
         Dan Carlin talks about the "kitchen of the future ",where everything is automated and the labor is free
    because you own it.Really,the_kitchen_of_the_future_is_actually the_kitchen of_the_past,when you
    consider that throughout human history,there have been many examples of slaves working for no pay.
         As Carlin points out,today's concept of slavery is mostly restricted to nonhumans.And the ownership of robot labor in a Robo Caf ?type situation will almost certainly prove itself far more economical and
    dependable than a human workforce once the technology itself becomes mature.Of course,slaves have a
    worrying habit of rising up against their owners.
    1. According to the passage,the robots that were invented in the last century could________.
    A. do some work that people dare not do
    B. bring lots of fun and profits to their owners
    C. do some housework such as table service work
    D. save people from having to do some boring manufacturing work
    2. According to the passage,what will a Robo Caf ?type restaurant be like?
    A. Most of the work will be done by robots.
    B. Owners needn't pay for the labour of their employees.
    C. Robot waiters are designed to serve customers voluntarily.
    D. The building will be designed for the convenience of customers.
    3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
    A. Employees depend on owners of restaurants as before.
    B. Technology won't change the core of the kitchen.
    C. Labor free of charge can be used in the kitchen again.
    D. Labor free of charge is no longer limited to humans.

         May 19,1991 was a red letter day for the people of Nanxi Town,Jinzhai County,in the Dabie Mountain

    primary school,the first in China set up with money raised in a national campaign for educational
    development.They were happy to see their children,who had been deprived (剥夺) of an education because of poverty,entering school.
    2. _____
          The Dabie Mountain range lies at the juncture of Hubei,Henan and Anhui provinces.Jinzhai County,
    located in the highest section of the mountain range,has within its boundaries more than 100 peaks each
    exceeding 1,000 meters in height.Due to the unfavorable natural conditions,some people in the county are
    unable to feed and clothe themselves adequately no matter how hard they work throughout the year.About 1,500 children have dropped out of school because their parents are unable to pay the fees for them.
    3. _____
         Huangpin,a povertystricken village situated in the a cold area 750 metres above sea level,is typical of the county.Among the villages are 224 children between the ages of 7 and 15.There are 80 children who are
    unable to go to school because of economic problems.Some pupils have to cut firewood after school to
    support themselves.Some leave school to look after cattle and pigs because they cannot afford the 20 yuan necessary for buying books.
    4. _____
          The county's leaders have long realized that it is very difficult for county in which 36% of the people are
    illiterate (文盲) to free itself of poverty.In order to change this situation,they have spent 1/3 of the county's
    tax income on education "I'm daydaytest Placeholder" for several years' running.In order to enroll (招收) more children,teachers from some schools have climbed hills to encourage people to send their children to school.Some teachers have even paid their students' fees from their own pockets,although their salaries
    are very low.
    5. _____
         According to statistics (统计数据) in China,more than one million schoolage children are unable to go to school because of economic problems.In October 1989,the China Foundation for the Development of
    Children and Youth appealed to the country and  the world to raise money for the education of children in
    povertystricken areas.Since children are the future of the country,this project is called "The Hope Project".
