Are we too clean?
In some parts of the world,it seems that 21 (keep) things too clean may cause a health problem. Parents often think that children are always getting dirty. But the 22 (true) is that in countries like the UK,parents clean their homes so carefully 23 children hardly ever come into contact with dirt,and therefore germs (細菌). The result is that one person in ten today 24(suffer) from some kind of allergy (過敏反應) 一three times more than just ten years ago.
Parents who think back to how they used to play as a child will see how much things 25 (change) . Children today spend a lot of time in their rooms. Twenty years ago,our parents thought it was better for kids 26 (play) outside,so we would spend 27 (much) time in the park than at home. We always fell over, 28 we just brushed 29 (our) clean and then kept on playing.
Now research seems to suggest that this is 30 good thing. Early contact with germs helps to protect our bodies against allergies later in life.

C ★★★★★
What if software could get a car back on track if the driver changes direction suddenly on ice? Or help a stroke (中風) patient smoothly lift a cup?
Bioengineers have developed a mathematical program for a robot that can “see” your intention while performing an ordinary action,like driving straight up a road or reaching for a cup — even if the action is interrupted (打斷) .
“Say you’re reaching for a piece of paper and your hand is in mid-reach — your nerves take time to respond to what has happened,” said Justin Horowitz,first author of the study. So,when something unexpected happens,the signal going to your hand can't change for at least a tenth of a second."
In the test,Horowitz employed exactly the situations he described. He analyzed(分析) the movement of research subjects as they reached for an object on a desk,but had their hand pushed in the wrong direction. He used the advanced mathematical program to analyze the action and examine the subjects’ intent,even when there was a disturbance.
The program has extra sensors and deals with information so much faster than people can react. It can predict the way you wanted to move,according to your intention. The car’s artificial intelligence would use it to bring the car’s course more in line with what the driver wanted to do. aIf we hit a patch of ice and the car starts changing direction,we want the car to know where we meant to go ,” he said. “It needs to correct the car's course not to where I am now pointed,but to where I meant to go."
9. The mathematical program can be used to.
A. prevent cars from speeding
B. help the disabled learn to drive
C. predict people’s intended acts
D. warn drivers of possible dangers
10. The underlined part “mid-reach” in Paragraph 3 refers to the time when .
A. the brain sends signals
B. your body reacts to something
C. you react to something unexpected
D. the brain is stuck in a dangerous situation
11. What is stressed about the program in the last paragraph?
A. Its cost. B. Its future,
C. Its function. D. Its structure.
12. Where can we probably read the text?
A. In a car review. B. In a business ad.
C. In a research plan. D. In a science report.

Turn around the compliment
I remember one of the last few years at a theme park. I spent about five years running a small shop across from a wonderful comedian (喜劇演員) .
His name was Moonie,and he was amazing. His skit(滑稽短劇) was done using nothing but gestures and noises instead of words. I remember that I was always entertained when watching his shows. He always managed to keep things fun,lively,and fresh. That was a very hard thing to do,considering he did the same skits for five years several times a day, .each weekend.
When I heard it would be his last performance in the park,I wanted to thank him for all the amazing shows he had done. He was standing with the crowd after one of his last shows of the day,and as each person dropped a tip into his basket,he pointed at them,saying very playfully “No,you’re the greatest!” to each one.
I walked up to him and dropped $20 into his basket,and he turned to me,smiling very brightly,and continued with another saying “No , you’re the greatest!” I stopped him .and said, “No,Moonie,you are the greatest. I have been watching your shows for five years from that shop right over there,and I just want to say thank you for the amazing shows that you have given me."
The look on his face said that he was truly touched by that comment. He politely asked to shake my hand. I accepted and we shared a very deep moment of mutual (互相的) respect ank thankfulness. Finally I walked away very happily,and I know he did too.
What does the word “compliment” in the title of the text mean?
A. Praise. B. Truth,
C. Choice. D. Gift.
