I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in a play, that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl, I used to being quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encouraged me to do so. What they said had a deep influence of me. By now I changed greatly. In class, I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may take some mistakes. Now I am delightful that I’m brave enough to overcome the difficulty in my heart. My experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.

As the November cold begins to take control

in the UK, Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.

Celebrated on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605, when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament (議會(huì)) with barrels of gunpowder. Now, it is traditional for Britons to make a fake (假的) “Guy” every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.

If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country, you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs, then fill them with tar (焦油) and set them on fire. And in Lewes, a town in the southern English county of Sussex, different groups of bonfire societies parade (游行) the streets, each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot (吉祥物), which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.

Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”， a dish made from slowcooked beef mince, tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, and spices. It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese. It's not the most elegant dish in the world but it's sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.

But for many Britons, the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee (太妃糖)”， which is also known as “plot toffee”， named after Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up parliament. The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.

Whether it's the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone, the hearty winter food, or the excuse to light a huge fire, Bonfire Night has something for everyone. Just watch out for those rockets!

【1】What is Guy Fawkes Night?

A．A person to explode the parliament.

B．A guy to be controlled in the UK.

C．A symbol for Britons to enter winter.

D．A dish famous to British people.

【2】Why do people have “chili con carne”？

A．Because it's the most elegant.

B．Because it's full of energy.

C．Because it's on jacket potatoes.

D．Because it's slowly cooked.

【3】The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”．

A．celebrations B．fireworks

C．performances D．bonfires

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.

B．The introduction of a traditional food.

C．A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.

D．Activities on the night of November 5 in Britain.

Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new.But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland.

If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot.University of Maryland's professor Yiannis Aloimonos, leader of the group, said “There exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize_on.”

“At present, the videos are fed electronically，”said research scientist Cornelia Fermuller.“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking，”she explained.“And, as the robot advances, it reacts to good quality videos.And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.”

So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results.

But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program？Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task, the socalled feedback (反饋意見(jiàn)); another is the introduction of language.

“I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical (比喻性的) laguage，”he added.“But，” he said，“we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us.”

【1】The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by ________.

A．take hold of B．make use of

C．keep track of D．catch sight of

【2】Aloimonos probably agrees that at present the robot ________.

A．can not fully digest what it learns

B．can not make a simple salad

C．can follow homemade videos

D．can understand metaphorical language

【3】Robots are taught to understand a video mainly because ________.

A．they can easily follow fixed programs

B．they are smart enough to learn cooking

C．cooking videos are more interesting to watch

D．predetermined instructions are not flexible

【4】Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage?

A．Robots Creating a New World

B．Robots Making Cooking Videos

C．Robots Learning to Cook by Watching Videos

D．Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and nonjoggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as nonjoggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (動(dòng)脈). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.

Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”

The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and longdistance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study，“You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.”

【1】The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．

A．hard B．regular

C．practical D．flexible

【2】The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________.

A．suggest giving up jogging

B．show risks of doing sports

C．provide supportive evidence

D．introduce the research process

【3】According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?

A．It may injure the heart and arteries.

B．It can make the body tired out.

C．It will bring much pressure.

D．It consumes too much energy.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Jogging is the best exercise.

B．More exercise means a healthier life.

C．Marathons runners are least likely to die.

D．Proper exercise contributes to good health.
