One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs. Turner answered it. A tired man’s voice came over the telephone, “At what time does your last film begin?” “I’m sorry,” said Mrs. Turner, “but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.” “Oh, it began twenty minutes ago? ” said the man. “I’m sorry about that. Well, goodbye.” Mrs. Turner was very surprised, so she told her husband. He laughed and said, “No, that wasn’t a mistake. The man’s wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him, but she didn’t hear you.

22、Finding the time to practice is one of the hardest things about learning a language. These activities don’t take longer than 10 minutes and they provide a great way to slip in some daily language practice even on the busiest of days. Plus, taking the time to practice for 10 minutes here and there will be of great benefit to your progress. 【1】
Play a game.
Learning a language should be fun. Games are fun. Take five minutes or so to complete a level or run through one round of questions or whatever.【2】 There is no point in playing something that’s easy, ─ trust me, I’ve made this mistake.
Read a newspaper.
You can learn many things from reading a newspaper, from serious situations taking place around the world to less serious things like who was the best-dressed at the Oscars. 【3】 Obviously, it’s near impossible to buy a newspaper in your target language if you are not in a native-speaking country, but that’s where the beauty of the internet comes in.
Run through some flashcards
Whenever you learn a new word, make sure you write it down on a flashcard along with an explanation that you will understand and remember. 【4】 While you’re waiting for your coffee or your lunch to heat up in the microwave, run through a few of these flashcards and test your memory.
Watch commercials (广告) in your target language
Everyone hates commercials. 【5】 The best thing about ads is that they are short and to the point, so you can watch a few in 10 minutes, or watch one over and over again until you have mastered its meaning.
How about it? Think you have a spare 10 minutes free every day? I challenge you to choose at least three of these activities and incorporate them into your coffee break (or while you are waiting for the bus, or while you are waiting in line at a store) in the coming week.
A．Use colors and images if you need to.
B．Here are the ways to learn a language on your coffee break.
C．You can also learn and practice a language by reading a newspaper.
D．Remember to choose a game that you can actually practice and learn from.
E．If you think about it as if you are writing a to-do list, then it’ll seem like a much easier task.
F．But despite their bad qualities, they are a great way to pick up a language because they offer lots of keywords and are often repeated.
G．With our increasingly busy lifestyles and the never-ending list of things to do, it’s often pushed to the sidelines in favor of something else.
23、 Healthcare staff and bank clerks have been on the front line of the health and economic crises striking the UK, but behind the scenes, another group of workers robots have been toiling away and overcoming both emergencies with no fear of COVID-19. But will COVID-19 speed up the rise of robots?
Robotic Process Automation(RPA)is software that robotizes repetitive back-office tasks. The National Health Service(NHS)has used it during the widespread disease to control demand and capacity planning in caring for all levels of patients day and night. Jason Kingdon, Blue Prism’s new chief executive who is recovering from COVID-19, says, “Before RPA, these were manual processes. You had to train a number of staff to put them in place. Now, you only need to train a single robot to manage the administration.” More than two fifths of bosses across 45 countries that responded to a survey by EY(Ernst &Young) said they were planning on accelerating spending on automation technology to prepare for a post-Covid world.
COVID-19 has already left tens of millions unemployed, so firms won’t be short of cheap labour on the other side of the crisis. But experts still think AI will be the more cautious choice for companies. One of them said, “It’s important to remember that even in China, which has much lower wages, 12.5 million manufacturing jobs have been cut over the past four years as more robots have been adopted.”
However, AI is overhyped in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation. Again, we should think of history as a guide. A lot of workers riots in the early 19th century happened during the continental blockade of the Napoleonic Wars when there was significant mess to trade in Britain. These things are not unrelated.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “toiling away” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Working hard.
B．Working lazily.
C．Walking slowly.
D．Walking toughly.
【2】What do Jason Kingdon’s words in paragraph 2 mean?
A．He wishes to employ more human staff.
B．He has refused to accept robots’ service.
C．He prefers robots’ working efficiency.
D．He dislikes the survey by EY.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to robots?
A．Supportive.
B．Worried.
C．Indifferent.
D．Opposed.
【4】Which is the best title for the text?
A．Robots Have Taken the Place of Humans.
B．COVID-19 Has Terrible Effects on Our Life.
C．It’s Time to Stop Robots from Taking the Place of Humans.
D．COVID-19 Speeds up the Trend of Robots Replacing Humans.
24、How to Make Friends with an Extremely Shy Person
Many people are extremely shy. Shy people may feel uncomfortable being around people they aren’t familiar with. So, how can we break the ice and become friends with an extremely shy person?
Walk up to them on your own, not with a group. 【1】, but not overly excited to the point where it seems insincere. You might say something like “Hey, I noticed you standing here on your own. I’m Jeff, what’s your name?” Approaching the person on your own, not with a group, increases the possibility that they will make friends with you. 【2】.
Make minimal eye contact at first. Shy people tend to feel awkward in social situations.【3】. To increase their comfort level with you, aim to make eye contact between 30%-60% of the time during a conversation. Generally, you should make eye contact slightly more when listening than when talking.
【4】. To draw out a shy person, you might start by asking a few open-ended questions that require best more than a “Yes” or “No” answer. These types of questions allow the person responding to answer in their own words rather than offering limited response options.
Learn to be Okay with silence. Conversation involves speaking, listening, and silence. If you’re outgoing, you may assume silence is a sign that your social attempt has failed. It’s not. 【5】, specially with a shy person. If you want to save both of you from an awkward silence, you might say “Well, nice meeting you, Becky. We’ll have to catch up again sometime.”
A．Ask open-ended questions
B．Talk about similar interests
C．You must be sure your approach is friendly
D．Actually, a few seconds of silence is typically Okay
E．This feeling is even stronger when they are under intense stares
F．Silence is the factor that influences you to make friends with them
G．Because shy people typically feel ignored and frightened by large groups
