26、Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
【1】A good title for this reading passage is______.
A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth About Spinach
C. A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong
【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

D. People liked folic acid.
【3】A research group told people that spinach______.
A. made Popeye strong
B. was a green vegetable
C. had less iron than other green vegetables
D. had more iron than other green vegetables
【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.

27、Finding a good friend can be quite difficult in the contemporary lives of teenagers. I was once baffled by what the definition of a good friend was, until I discovered a single step that, if taken, would make you the greatest friend.
It is willingness. That is all it takes in order to be considered a good friends. Willingness must come from within your heart. Listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. The will to sacrifice for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. For instance, as you are about to leave to enjoy your Saturday night, your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels, you must be willing to give up your Saturday night and go to your friends house and try to comfort him in anyway that you can.
You must always be willing to give advice to your friends. For example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do, you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice. The willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. You must care about how your friends feel and what they’re experiencing. Caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do, because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against them, you must be the one to care about them.
Nobody ever said being a good friend was easy. If you want to be a good friend, you have to be willing to listen, sacrifice, give advice and care about your friends.
【1】From this passage, we can learn that if a friends is confused about what to do next, we’d better_____ .
A. give up our benefit to help him
B. leave him alone and let him calm down
C. listen to him quietly
D. offer him some reasonable advice
【2】The underlined word “baffled” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. confused B. frustrated
C. curious D. frightened
【3】We can learn from the passage that .
A. being a good friend is so difficult that few people can do it
B. willingness can make a person a good friend
C. friendship always means sacrificing your own interests
D. a person doesn’t need to care about his friends all the time
【4】What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the second paragraph?
A. Making a definition. B. Citing an example.
C. Making comparison. D. Listing some numbers.
28、We use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as standup comedians(单口相声演员)in the future?One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London organized RoboThespian's performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.
The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O'Neill and Tiernan Douieb, performing the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes—it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too.
"We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do, " said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot's programmer." The machine used this information to decide who to look at and which gestures to use."
The robot also has other advantages over human comedians. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Scientist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform recorded sound by simply playing it back.It can also act out programmed pieces from Shakespeare or just about anything else.
"Another of the robot's advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy(同感)for RoboThespian than for the human comedians, I feel more relaxed during his performances," Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is unlikely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.
The Queen Mary researchers say they're most interested in how audiences can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it's time for the robot to write some more jokes?
【1】Why was RoboThespian originally developed?
A.To help human comedians perform better on stage.
B.To find out if robots could understand human jokes.
C.To see if robots could perform like human comedians.
D.To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes.
【2】When RoboThespian gave performances on stage, it ________.
A.performed different jokes from human comedians
B.was affected easily by an audience member shouting at it
C.imitated the audience's voices to make them laugh
D.recorded each audience member's reaction and acted accordingly
【3】What does Celeste Biever think of robot comedians?
A.He believes the future of comedy lies in them.
B.He considers their jokes as rather poor and boring.
C.He thinks they aren't suitable for live performances.
D.He feels more comfortable watching their performances.
【4】What is the article mainly talking about?
A.The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advantages.
B.Robot technology used to help us with our future daily tasks.
C.Predictions of the comedy of the future and concerns about it.
D.A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians.
