Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(專家) in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people’s depression (沮喪) , physical activity, and life satisfaction.
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(數(shù)據(jù)) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(與……相關(guān)) to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms(心律). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激) older people’s minds.”
小題1:The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to _____________.
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．make lonely old people’s life better
C．find the causes of old people’s loneliness
D．improve the animal-assisted research
小題2: In the research, the old people are asked to _____________.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．record their feelings and activity
D．study the collected information
小題3:What does the underlined word “removes” mean?
A．moves againB．is movableC．doesn’t needD．need
小題4:What is the better point of AIBO than live dogs?
A．It is easier to keep at home.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human orders.
D．It can watch TV with its owner.
小題5:The writer seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may__________.
A．cure certain diseasesB．keep old people active
C．change people’s ideasD．look more like real dogs

We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去對(duì)….的意識(shí)） time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(細(xì)節(jié))over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps（午覺）． Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知） time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
小題1: According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long ?
A．weekends and holidaysB．weekends and work
C．classes and workD．holidays and work
小題2:Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the website listing?
A．negative emotionsB．positive emotions
C．a(chǎn)drenaline D．scientists
小題3:According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?
A．We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
B．We have a math test when we fall down from a high place.
C．We may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap.
D．We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
小題4:According to the passage , what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger ?
A．Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B．We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C．Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D．We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
小題5:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A．Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.
B．When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.
C．If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again
D．Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street.    39    the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered(提供) to    40   the lunch，I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the    41    and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to    42  in the kitchen.

Once my father asked me to hold his hammer while he repaired something, so we could have some time to talk to each other.
For 22 years, after I left home for college, he called me every Sunday at 9 am. He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.
Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千組) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was too busy.
Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (藍(lán)葉云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldn’t spend much time with him.
Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, “Fat Albert”, but that morning he called it “Fat Oscar”, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 pm that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (動(dòng)脈瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time.
I arrived in Florida at 1 am. My father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk to me.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer arrived in Florida before her father passed away.
B．The writer didn’t find enough time to talk to her father all these years.
C．The writer noticed nothing unusual about her father’s health before he was put in the hospital.
D．The writer’s father brought them the Colorado blue spruce because it is an expensive kind of tree.
小題2:How did the writer feel when she was rushing to the hospital where her father was staying?
A．Hopeless. B．Sorry.
C．Frightened. D．Disappointed.
小題3:Which words best describe the writer’s father?
A．Honest and modest.
B．Strict and demanding (要求高的).
C．Talkative and positive (積極樂觀的).
D．Caring and thoughtful.
小題4:What’s the best title of this passage?
A．What a good father!B．How busy I am.
C．Time keeps going.D．My father and our family.
