26、Have you ever made eye contact with a robot? It can be a very strange experience. Scientists even have a name for the feeling: the “uncanny valley”.
Now, researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Italy have found that it is more than just a feeling. They ran an experiment that showed how a robot’s gaze (注视) can make people think they are socially interacting with a human being. That experience can slow a person’s ability to make decisions.
The team asked 40 people to play a video game of “chicken”. In the game, each player has to decide whether to allow a car to drive straight toward another car or to turn to avoid a crash. The people were playing against a human-like robot sitting across from them.
During breaks in the game, players had to look at the robot. Sometimes the robot would look back and other times it would look away. As the interactions happened, the scientists collected data on behavior and brain activity.
“Our results show that, actually, the human brain treats the robot gaze as a social signal, and that signal influences the way we’re making decisions, the way we use in the game and also our reactions,” Wykowska said.
The findings could be useful in helping to decide where and how human-like robots might be placed in the future.

【2】What can we learn about the research?
A．Robots were designed to make decisions to avoid a crash.
B．40 people were asked to play against each other.
C．Players were not allowed to look at the robot during breaks.
D．Robot gaze could affect people’s decision making abilities.
【3】What’s the text mainly about?
A．How to make eye contact with a robot.
B．The effects of robot’s gaze on human brain.
C．The future development of the robot.
D．A recent research on human brains.

A．Newspaper.
B．A book review.

27、 According to Nielsen, the average number of mobile phone calls we make is dropping every year, after hitting a peak in 2007. And our calls are getting shorter: In 2005 they averaged three minutes in length; now they’re almost half that.
We are moving, in other words, toward a fascinating cultural transition: the death of the telephone call. This shift is particularly plain among the young. Some college students I know go days without talking into their smartphones at all.
This generation doesn’t make phone calls, because everyone is in constant, lightweight contact in so many other ways: texting, chatting, and social-network messaging. And we don’t just have more options than we used to. We have better ones: These new forms of communication have exposed the fact that the voice call is badly designed. It deserves to die. Consider: If I suddenly decide I want to dial you up, I have no way of knowing whether you’re busy, and you have no idea why I’m calling.
We have to open Schrodinger’s box every time, having a conversation to figure out whether it’s OK to have a conversation. Plus, voice calls are emotionally high-bandwidth, which is why it’s so weirdly exhausting to be interrupted by one. (We apparently find voicemail even more torturous: Studies show that more than a fifth of all voice messages are never listened to.)
The telephone, in other words, doesn’t provide any information about status, so we are constantly interrupting one another. The other tools at our disposal are more polite. Instant messaging lets us detect whether our friends are busy without our annoying them, and texting lets us ping one another but not at the same time. (Plus, we can spend more time thinking about what we want to say.) Despite the hue and cry about becoming an “always on” society, we’re actually moving away from the demand that everyone should be available immediately.
We’ll still make fewer phone calls, as most of our former phone time will migrate to other media. But the calls we do make will be longer, reserved for the sort of deep discussion that the medium does best.
As video chatting becomes more common, enabled by the new iPhone and other devices, we might see the growth of persistent telepresence, leaving video-chat open all day so we can speak to a spouse or colleague spontaneously. Or, to put it another way, we’ll call less but talk more.
【1】The writer of the text thinks that what is happening with mobile phone calls is ________.
A.an unexpected occurrence B.a strange but very predictable fact
C.an interesting social phenomenon D.negative for social interaction
【2】In paragraph 3, the writer’s attitude towards phone voice calls is ________.
A.doubtful B.concerned
C.positive D.negative
【3】What does the writer think will happen to voice calls in the future?
A.They will only be used in emergencies.
B.They will continue to get more expensive.
C.They will only be used between family members.
D.They will be used mainly for intimate and detailed discussions.

Herbal medicine，which has been used for medicinal purposes，is the use of plants to treat disease. Many herbalists use the entire plant，from the flowers，stems，leaves，and roots，in the form of everything from teas to tablets. These plants contain natural，chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases，such as allergies（过敏症），asthma（哮喘）and cancer，among others.
Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because，compared with chemical medicine，herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine is more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine prescribed by a chemist could have negative side effects，which，however，many of the herbal medicine does not have. If any，they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight loss more effectively and improve overall health.
However，cure using herbal medicine would take some time，and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still，herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients（成分）and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic. A point worth mentioning here is that some herbal medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once，but would take months or even years. In the first stages，if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you，it is wise to stop using it.
When used correctly，herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated，so herbal products are sometimes labeled wrongly and may contain additives that are not listed on the label. Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with conventional drugs，and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses（剂量）. Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.
