　　 A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She told him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.
　　 The air hostess was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up(延误) to take his medicine. Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, she hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused.
　　 In the following hours on the plane, each time the air hostess passed by the passenger, she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never answered a word.
　　 When he was going to get off the plane, the passenger asked the air hostess to hand him the passengers’ booklet. She was very sad. She knew that he would write down sharp words, but with a smile she handed it to him.
　　 Off the plane, she opened the booklet, and smiled, for the passenger put it. “On the flight, you asked me whether I needed help or not for twelve times in all. How can I refuse your twelve sincere smiles?”

　　 In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.
　　 Short days
　　 Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at about 3:30 p.m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school.
　　 Formal setting
　　 In Germany, teachers and students’ relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie（德语，您）” when talking to teachers.
　　 Getting to school
　　 Most students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.
　　 Private clubs
　　 In many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.
　　 Different states, different schools
　　 Each of Germany’s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems. The school system in Brandenburg will be a little different from the system in Bavaria for example. Where you live, your knowledge level and your age will decide what school you can attend.

　　 Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
　　 In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg, ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, fight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
　　 The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires (电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
　　 In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
　　 These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection (传染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do“dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do“clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the place of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
　　 But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like in 2021?
　　（ ）42. In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?
　　A. Smiling at people, saying “hello”.
　　B. Sending food or opening doors by himself.
　　C. Fighting, climbing or running fast.
　　D. Collecting waste for patients.
　　（ ）43. What makes Saya look real?
　　A. Her face and rich expressions. B. Her clothes and shoes.
　　C. Her walking and running speed. D. Her rich knowledge.
　　（ ）44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
　　A. Robots have come a long way since 1986.
　　B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda.
　　C. Saya looks like a small astronaut
　　D. If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.
　　（ ）45. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that
　　 .
　　A. nurses would have more free time with patients
　　B. robots would not take the place of humans
　　C. dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
　　D. mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

　　 When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December, Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
　　 I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
　　 Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
　　 Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
　　 I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

　　 Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
　　 If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
　　 If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
　　 If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
　　 If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident person-
　　ality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

　　 We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
　　 Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
　　 Make escape (逃脱) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
　　 Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
　　 Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
　　 ★ Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
　　 ★ Stay close to the floor!Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
　　 ★ What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop!Don’t run!The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop!Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
　　 There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
