Historians believe the Mayan people of Central America first learned to farm cacao plants around 2,000 years ago. 【2】 Then they grew them around their homes. They cooked the cacao seeds and pressed them into soft powder. They mixed the powder with water to make a delicious chocolate drink. There are often images of cacao plants on Maya buildings and art objects. The rulers drank chocolate at ceremonies. 【3】

The Aztecs also valued chocolate in the Aztec culture. But the cacao plant could not grow in the area where they lived. 【4】 They even used cacao seeds as a form of money to pay or give as offerings to the gods. Only the very wealthy people in Aztec societies could afford to drink chocolate because cacao was so valuable.

The explorer Christopher Columbus brought cacao seeds to Spain after his trip to Central America in 1502. The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed the chocolate drink. 【5】 Nowadays, the English, Dutch and French all plant cacao trees in their own countries.

Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(養(yǎng)育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to
school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.
Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be
involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was
parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may
either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically
insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved
parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big
surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party.
My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help.
Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself.
I thought the biscuits were really well.
My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.
At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked,
“I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”
My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

【題目】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.
（1）How are social robots different from household robots?
A.They can control their emotions.
B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
（2）What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Answer your questions and make requests.
C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
（3）What can Oshbot work as?
A.A language teacher.
B.A tour guide.
C.A shop assistant.
D.A private nurse.
（4）We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A.train employees
B.be our workmates
C.improve technologies
D.take the place of workers
（5）What does the passage mainly present?
A.A new design idea of household robots.
B.Marketing strategies for social robots。
C.Information on household robots.
D.An introduction to social robots.
