     Researchers are placing robotic dogs (机器狗 )in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether
they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and
Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of
robotic dogs on old people"s depression, physical activity, and lefe satisfaction. "No one will argue that an
older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激), "Edwards points out."The
problem is how we promote (使……成为现实) that,especially for those without riends or help. A robotic
dog could be a solution."
     In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live
alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old
people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will
review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
     "I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice," says a seventy-year-old lady, "When I"m
watching TV, he"ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own."
     The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs,
especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or
playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
     "At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and
not furry." Beck says. "But it"s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief."
     "Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will
record their masters" blood pressure, oxygen levels. Or heart rhythms. ASIBOs may even one day have games
that can help stimulate older people"s minds."
1. The purpose of Beck and Edwards" study is to _____.
A. understand human-animal relationship
B. make lonely old people"s life better
C. find the causes of old people"s loneliness
D. promote the animal-assisted research
2. In the research, the old people are asked to _____.
A. note the activities of AIBOs
B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C. record their feelings and activity
D. analyze the collected information
3. What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A. It is easier to keep at home.
B. It can help the disabled people.
C. It responds to all the human orders.
D. It can watch TV with its owner.
4. The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may _____.
A. cure certain diseases
B. keep old people active
C. change people"s beliefs
D. look more like real gods

     Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and
hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect
students to their classrooms.
     Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork
anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The
laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with
laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their
teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that
students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a
fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
     Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges
and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop
computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries
and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State
officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
     At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers
to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and
we"re giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything."
1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____.
A. use for their schoolwork
B. access the Internet
C. work at home
D. connect them to libraries
2. Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?
A. They don"t really talk.
B. They use the computer language.
C. Laptops have speakers.
D. None of the above reasons is correct.
3. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?
A. All teachers use computers.
B. 1500 students have laptops.
C. It is an old college in America.
D. Students there can do everything.
4. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _____.
A. attend lectures on information technology
B. travel around the world
C. get information from around the world
D. have free laptops
5. What can we infer (推断)from the passage?
A. The program is successful
B. The program is not workable.
C. The program is too expensive.
D. We don"t know the result yet.

     Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This
kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for
years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
     The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears
quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result
of a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.
Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually
does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type,
chronic (长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who
experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many
chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
     Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy
and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart
disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can
be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
1. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
A. Talk to friends.
B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor.
D. Ask your teachers for guidance.
2. "It" in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _____.
A. temporary loneliness
B. situational loneliness
C. a new place
D. sleeplessness
3. The topic of the 4 paragraph is that_______.
A. one problem of loneliness is a person"s social contacts
B. we depend on various people for different reasons
C. lonely people don"t have many social problems
D. lonely people don"t have many friends
4. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D. Such people are harmful to society.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Three kinds of loneliness
B. Loneliness and Diseases
C. Loneliness and Social Contacts
D. Chronic Loneliness
