We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," she replied.
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh . . . that"s soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.

Dr. Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home-assistance robot. “If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions,” he said.
To test whether residents responded better to Sparky, a trained dog, or the Sony-made robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in St. Louis.
One group had weekly 30-minute one-on-one visits with Sparky; another group had similar visits with AIBO; a control group had no contact with either dog. The groups’ respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits.
After two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached. Most of the elderly regarded Sparky, a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator Marian Banks.
“He listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him,” said Banks, who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago.
Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature. Over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him. He would respond by wagging his tail, vocalizing, and blinking his lights..
“AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him,” said the study’s author, Dr. William Banks, “He’s an attractive sort of guy. He gives a feeling of being personal, not just a robot.”
小题1:Before the new study, it was known that ____.
A.robots were effective at reducing people’s loneliness |
B.robots could build close connection with humans |
C.dogs could help get rid of old people’s loneliness |
D.dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness |
A.they didn’t feel comfortable with it |
B.it was hard for them to interact with it |
C.they weren’t comfortable with it at first |
D.the robot’s vocalizing and blinking confused them |
A.robots are better at caring for old people than nurses |
B.robots can to some degree replace dogs as companions for old people |
C.it’s easy for people to become close with robots |
D.every home will have a robot assistant one day |
A.Robots Serve People Better Than Thought |
B.No More Lonely Old Age with Emotional Robots |
C.Advanced Technology Used to cheer up the Elderly |
D.Robots and Dogs Can Equally Cheer up the Elderly |

Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.
You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters(水疱) or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.
Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.
This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.
小题1:Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?
A.They have much emotion in the old ones. |
B.They are more comfortable. |
C.New shoes always harm the feet. |
D.They look better than the new ones. |
A.don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very well |
B.are positive and open-minded to accept new things |
C.actually know the change will finally be good for them |
D.don’t accept new patterns because they are not good |
A.Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it. |
B.Most people pay more attention to the future life. |
C.One’s attitude towards something is usually traditional. |
D.The more often we change, the better our life will be. |
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
小题1:What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?
A.It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn. |
B.Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God. |
C.Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. |
D.Yawning is a form of communication. |
A.emotions are infectious, but yawning is not |
B.yawning helps clear ears on planes |
C.humans differ from animals because they communicate with others |
D.yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans |
A.It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn. |
B.Some kids are too young to yawn after others. |
C.Yawning can be used to test children’s development. |
D.Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. |
A.it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions |
B.yawning can make people feel relaxed |
C.yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory |
D.the more you yawn, the happier you will be |
