Life is filled with challenges. As we get old...

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older, we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, "I got my feelings hurt", rather than "You hurt my feelings", you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."

1. The writer believes that challenges ________.

A. are always born with friendship

B. help build friendship

C. are never worth attention

D. help us grow

2.If your friend hurts your feelings, you are advised to ____.

A. point out your friend's mistake

C. start a proper conversation

D. run away from it

3. The whole passage is centered on the relationship（关系） between ___.

阅读下列短文，根据所读的内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。注意表格中的每个空格只填1个单词。

As we get older and walk throughout lives we have to deal with change. Change is something that some people love and others are scared of and try to avoid.

However, if you want your life to move forward and to be happy and successful, you have to realize that change is necessary.

Welcome change with open arms, telling the world that you are not afraid.

Although you will part with your present teachers and classmates, you will always be able to remember the things you used to do and the fun you used to have. When you feel sad, or when you are alone, you can close your eyes and imagine that you are black with your friends and teachers. Remember that your memories are your forever.

Enjoy the time before you leave your school. If possible, you could take photographs of your friends and teachers to help you recall（回忆起）the past.

Before you leave, you could also buy a notebook and ask your friends and teachers to write notes in it for you. They can write about the things they like about you, the things that they will remember about you, or they could just write their wishes for your success in the future.

Perhaps you could buy a good hardback（精装本）book and combine the photographs and the notes together. You could also include your thoughts at the time of leaving the school. You could write lists of your favorite teachers, classes and sports activities. This is something you can treasure for the rest of your life.

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions. Some don’t have a clear right or wrong answer—like should you play soccer or field hockey.1..

Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. You might admire a friend who is always a good sportsman and try to be more like him or her. 2. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.

Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them. The idea that ‘everyone’s doing it’ can influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common sense, behind.

3. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

Even if you are faced with peer pressure while you are alone, you can simply stay away from peers who pressure you to do stuff you know is wrong.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. 4.

A.You might follow whatever he or she does.

B.But sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.

C.Talk to the peer who pressure you and you will feel much better.

D.It is tough to be the only one who says ‘no’ to peer pressure, but you can’t do it.

E.Other decisions involve serious moral questions, like whether to cut class, try cigarettes, or lie to your parents.

F.Talking to a parent, teacher, or school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.

The global population is living longer，and getting older，which presents new challenges. “The question becomes：who will take care of everyone? While people will always be the best caregivers for people，there just aren’t enough people. That’s where robotic technology can really make a difference,” says Professor Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California.

Her group is developing robots to work with stroke (中风) patients and elderly people. The research team has found that people react well to a robot gym instructor，and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on a computer screen. The robot can act as a perfect trainer，with infinite(极大的) patience.

“People say things like ‘I prefer this robot to my husband！Can I take it home?’” according to Professor Mataric. “In fact there’s a really important point here. As we create these care giving technologies，we’re helping not only the people that need the care，but also the people caring for them. We can give them a break，and help them avoid burnout.”

People are going to have to like，and importantly trust robots before they welcome them into their homes，and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to communicate with them.

Much of human communication takes place through body language. Gestures， eye contact , and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. In learning about how people interact(互动) with machines，researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. Robots can communicate with humans in ways that other technologies can not.

“If someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable，that’s going to affect how they interact with it,” says Dr Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We can now start to think about fields where it’s the social interaction，which is the main means by which a robot helps someone.” Dr Breazeal says that means robots could be used in education，learning，and health care，where social support is important.

1.Professor Maja Mataric mainly focused on robots’ function of ________.

A．teaching 　　 B．exploring

C．making things 　 D．giving care

2.Why can robots be wonderful trainers in the gym?

A．Because they are more clever.

B．Because they give correct instructions.

C．Because they cost less money.

D．Because they are more patient.

3.The underlined word “burnout” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．

A．feeling tired 　 B．feeling angry

C．getting hurt 　 D．becoming disappointed

4.The scientists are presently working hard to help robots　　　　 .

A．to use less electricity　　 B．to communicate better

C．to react more quickly　　　 D．to have more functions
