Now, it seems that artficial intelligence （人工智能）is becoming more and more popular in our life, and it has greatly influenced the ways we live, work and play. Can you imagine that you can play table tennis with a robot one day?
Recently, a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach. That means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.
Named Forpheus, the smart table tennis robot is quite special. It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way, it can exactly judge (判断) the player' skill levels (水平). Then it uses the information to change the ways to play. If the player are just beginners, Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What's more, while playing, it encourages players to try their beat with words like "Good job!", "Come on!" and so on. At the same time, it gives some good advice to improve their skills. So it is both a good partner and a clever coach.
Science and technology is developing quickly these days and it's hard to imagine what will happen in the future. "In the next 20 years, it will be possible that one robot teaches another to play table tennis or even invents another one!" Takuoya, the inventor of the robot, said.
1.Artificial intelligence has influenced people's life in many ways.
2.Orpheus is the name of the inventor of the robot.
3.The robot can judge the skill levels of human players exactly.
4.One robot will probably teach another to play table tennis in the future.
5.The robot can encourage the human players, but it can't give advice.

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word "listen" has the same letters as the word "silent". Listening silently is a good quality that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?
Listening is really helpful.
When someone is sad or angry, he wants to express his poor feelings. At this moment, we need to listen silently first until he gets calm (冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him out.
Listening is a kind of love.
For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are anxious about our health, study and so on. If we listen patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful (有力量的) than words.
Listening is polite behavior.
Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. In fact, that's not polite. In order to show our respect(尊重) for others, we had better listen to them first. Then we can express our ideas.
Listening sounds easy， but it's not. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to make ourselves good listeners from now on.
1.When someone is sad or angry, we should _____ first.
A. listen to him silently
B. express our poor feelings
C. talk too much with him
D. tell his parents about it
2.The underlined word "anxious" here probably means "_______".
A. satisfied
B. angry
C. worried
D. excited
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We should ask others to listen to us first.
B. We should express our ideas first.
C. We should let others respect us first.
D. We had better listen to others first.

Waste can be everywhere in the school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.
They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源) , we are short of (缺乏) others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years.
So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move?
Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头)when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
1.According to the passage, what do some students often do in the school?
A. Eat too much B. Don't work hard C. Waste things D. Throw rubbish everywhere
2.What may happen in 100 years according to the passage?
A. We will be short of fresh water B. We will be short of coal or oil
C. We will still have enough space to live in D. We will prevent waste from happening
3.What does them in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Waste things B. Problems C. Students D. Resources
