There are 70,000 pubs in England and Wales have several thousand more in Scotland.

Every country has its drinking shop, but none has an institution quite like the British pub. The most important feature of a good pub (which modern buildings hardly ever achieve) is a feeling of something private. It must have nooks and crannies, corners and snugs, where conversations and assignations can take place without the whole world listening in.

Most pubs have at least two separate bars. The “public bar” which is for ordinary and women is the basic drinking shop. The “lounge bar” (or saloon bar) which is for traveling salesmen and “ladies” probably has a carpet on the floor and rather more comfortable decoration. There may be a difference of a few pence in the drink prices, although all pubs are required by law to put their price lists easily seen on display.

Pubs have been changing over the past few decades. More and more of them sell good, inexpensive food and are competing strongly with restaurants. Tea and coffee are often on offer and children are being made more welcome. The law says that no one under 14 may enter a pub, and between 14 and 18 they must be accompanied by an adult and may not buy or consume alcoholic drink. In reality some pubs, especially in country districts, welcome whole families. Some set aside special rooms for children and where there are gardens they are almost always welcome.

The most basic change, however, came about in the 1938 licensing laws which allowed pubs in England and Wales to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Scottish laws already permitted all day opening.)

1. Which of the following can be the best title?

A. Pubs’ history                        B. Pubs in Britain

C. Changes of pubs                          D. Features of a good pub

2. According to the British people, what kind of pub is a good one?

A. The one with all day opening time.

B. The one with good and inexpensive food.

C. The one with all kinds of people enjoying themselves.

D. The one with different parts where people can have a private conversation.

3.In paragraph 4, we can learn that ________.

A. pubs allow people above 14 to enter alone

B. pubs never allow people under 18 to enter

C. pubs don’t sell more expensive food than restaurants

D. pubs often sell alcoholic drinks as well as tea and coffee

4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The law requires all the pubs have slightly different prices of drinks.

B. Ordinary people and women are often having fun in the “public pub”.

C. In some country pubs, children accompanied by their parents are always welcome.

D. Scottish laws allow pubs to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day.

Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.

For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.

As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.

Mr.Sammut also said,"In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him.It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being."

"In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050.To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments.This will require major advances in perception（感知）,decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviors.Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors（传感器）,energy storage,and materials."

1.The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth　　　　 .

A. in 1968　　 B. in 1978

C. in the 1990s　　 D. 30 years ago

2.We can conclude from Mr.Sammut's words that　　　　 .

A. robots would be smarter than human beings in the near future

B. robots have more ambitions than human beings

C. robots would take control of the world

D. many parts of robots still need improving

3.What's the best title for this passage?

A. Scientists' Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players.
