26、 “Pepper, a ‘culturally competent robot,’ was tested on care home residents in Britain and Japan — those persons who used it for up to 18 hours over the course of two weeks saw an improvement in their mental (精神上的) health,” researchers found.
Pepper was part of a large global study known as CARESSES, which investigated the use of artificial intelligence (A) in caring for the elderly. The scientists behind the study also found that “after two weeks of using the system there was a small but positive effect on loneliness among users.”
Pepper is fully autonomous, meaning that it is not controlled by a person. Pepper, which can play music and entertainment, does not just ask and answer questions but can actually join in and continue conversation.
It has been designed to be “culturally competent,” meaning that it can respond to the culture-specific needs of older people.
Dr. Chris, principal lecturer in public health at the UK’s University of Bedfordshire, was the lead author of the three-year project. He described the study as “groundbreaking.” adding: “The results show that using the CARESSES artificial intelligence in robots such as Pepper has real potential (潜在的) benefit to a world where more people are living longer with fewer people to look after them.”
“The project has now shown that the system could and did improve mental health and reduce loneliness,” Dr. Chris said. “However, it is just at a prototype (最初形态) level and there are many technical limitations.”
He thought it would take a further two to three years of research, before robots such as Pepper could actually be introduced to care homes.
“We really believe that this isn’t about replacing care — a robot can’t do what a human can do. But they can be a useful helper for people’s mental health,” Dr. Chris said.
【1】According to Paragraph 1 and 2, what can Pepper do, especially for the elderly?
A.It can test them.
B.It can investigate them.
C.It can promote their mental health.
D.It can help them live much longer.
【2】What can we infer about Pepper according to the passage?
A.Pepper has been globally sold and used.
B.Pepper is of some help to the elderly.
C.Pepper has not any technical limitation.
D.Pepper can replace human to care for the elderly.
【3】What is Dr. Chris’ attitude to the future of the robots such as Pepper?
A.He worries about it. B.He is uncertain of it.
C.He pays no attention to it. D.He feels hopeful for it.
【4】Which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken from?
A.Science. B.Education. C.Travel. D.Sports.

28、“There’s no place like home.”This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults (成年人), it’s the only affordable place to stay, where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it’s quite traditional for young people to live at home with their parents, while in other places, leaving home to start their own independent life is much preferred. But there’s been a growing trend (趋势), in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live. According to the UK’s Office for National Statistics, a quarter of young adults aged 20-34 now live at home, and that number has been growing.
A survey by a website has found that 18% of adult children in the UK say they are moving back home because of debt, compared with8% last year. More young people have lost their jobs, and others can’t afford their housing cost. So, it’s easy to see why they’re increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC’s Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. These include cooked meals, a full fridge and cleaning, as well as their bills being covered by what is commonly called ‘the hotel of mum and dad’. But for the hoteliers- mum and dad, the survey has found their cost has gone up sharply.
With parents spending aroundf1, 886 on take-away food, buying new furniture and Wi-Fi services for their children, it’s easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That’s before they learn a home truth- that one day it might be their own kids who’ll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A．Young adults’ growing gradually.
B．Young adults’ enjoying home comforts.
C．Young adults’ supporting their parents.
D．Young adults’ starting an independent life.
【2】What percentage of young adults aged 20-34 now live with their parents in the UK?
A．8%.
B．15%.
C．18%.
D．25%.
【3】Why do young people return home to live according to the website survey?
A．They can look after their parents.
B．They are free to do what they want to.
C．They have difficulty in paying their bills.
D．They enjoy the company of their loved ones.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．The Hotel of Mum and Dad
B．The Price of Leaving Home
C．No Place like Home
D．Living with Returning Children
29、Not knowing how to say “no”, I was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled (纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.
The worst thing was that I didn’t even realize what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no” -but couldn’t remember the last time I had done this. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved, and the only way to get those things was to put everyone else’s needs before my own.
It seemed that I never had time for things I really wanted to do. I’d like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren’t huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.
But recently, I decided I’d had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating (使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p.m. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge-watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, “Sorry, I’ve got things I want to do tonight.” She said, “That’s fine. Maybe another time.” It was all, so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.
Saying “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I’m polite but honest. “I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s really for me.” The words slip out faster than some other lame excuses.
Learning how to say “no” has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” has set me free.

A．She didn’t want to tell lies.

【2】What was the bad result of being afraid of saying “no” for the author?
A．Alienating many friends.
B．Having no time for her own hobbies.
C．Keeping busy all day long.
D．Feeling depressed now and then.
【3】What was her friend’s reaction when the author said “no” to her?
A．Natural.
B．Painful.
C．Angry.
D．Disappointed.
【4】How did the author feel after she had learnt to say “no”?
A．Lonely.
B．Lost.
C．Confident.
D．Relaxed.
