They are professional workers for Henn-na Hotel in Chiba, Japan, the

second robot-staffed hotel. Robots in this hotel can greet guests in

English, Chinese and Japanese languages and every room has a

doorkeeper robot called ―Tapia‖, who can talk to customers or can offer

such services as turning on or off TV or providing weather news.

The hotel opens on Wednesday and the price of the room starts from

170 dollars a night.

Hong Kong’s first sightseeing restaurant bus went into service, offering tourists and locals a fresh experience of sightseeing and dining. People now

don’t need to plan where to go or worry about wher e to eat. The sightseeing

restaurant bus has two floors with 47 seats. It tours around the city while

serving food prepared by the famous Michelin restaurants there.Its service

includes day and night tours, with day tour covering over 20 sights from

Kowloon to Hong Kong Island or to the New Territories. The

two-and-a-half-hour day tour costs each passenger 380 HK dollars ($48.9).

Night tours are only for booking out the whole bus and guests can choose the

route (路线) for themselves.

“Chicken” idioms (习语)

The word ―chicken‖ is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following?

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

The expression ―Don’ t count your chickens before they hatch‖ means ―Don’t expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.‖―Hatch‖ is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expressi on mainly means ―Don’t depend on things working out just as you want them to.‖ This saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop's Fables.

A chicken-and-egg situation

In history, philosophers(哲学家) and scientists have met this dilemma(困境)：Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term ―a chicken-and-egg situation" means a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.

Don’t be such a chicken

There seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that’s not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But ―Don’t be such a chicken‖ means ―Don’t be so scared and get a bit more courage.‖ So if your fri end is afraid to do something, you can say

to him or her, ―Don’t be such a chicken. Just have a try!‖

34. The underlined word ―hatch‖ means ―________‖ in Chinese.

A. 孵化

B. 长大

C. 破碎

D. 出售

35. While discussing the idiom ―A chicken-and-egg situation‖, the writer mentions Aristotle and Stephen Hawking to show that _________.

A. Aristotl e’s opinion was wrong

B. Stephen Hawkin g’s opinion is wrong

C. it’s impossible to find the right answer to this question

D. philosophers and scientists usually have the same answer to a question

36. We may use the idiom ―Don’t be such a chicken‖ in the situation when someone _______.

A. is not brave enough

B. enjoys counting his chickens

C. has difficulty making a choice

D. hopes things will work out just as he wants

37. The writing probably appears in the______ part of a magazine.

A. food

B. culture

C. travel

D. sport

C

A businessman was once deep in debt(债务) and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench,

head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company.

Suddenly an old man appeared in front of him. ―I can see that something is troubling you,‖ he said.

After listening to the businessman’s trouble, the old man said, ―I believe I can help you.‖He asked the man his name, wrote out a check (支票) and pushed it into his hand, saying, ―Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year f rom today, and you can pay me back at that time.‖ Then he turned and disappeared.

The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world!

―It can solve my problem at once!‖ the businessman r ealized. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength(力量) to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism(乐观精神), he did better in his business. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon(约定的) time, the old man appeared. But just as the businessman was about to hand back the check and share his successful story, a nurse came running up and caught the old man.

―I’m so glad I caught him!‖ she cried. ―I hope he hasn’t been troubling you. He’s always escaping from the hospital and telling people he’s John D. Rockefeller.‖

And then she led the old man away by the arm. The businessman just stood there, ▲.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had tu rned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence(自信心) that gave him the strength to achieve anything he went after.

38. By saying ―it can solve my problem at once‖, the business man wanted to show____________.

A. he didn’t need the check

①What does the city of the future look like? Flying cars? Robots? Or smog(烟雾) -eating buildings?

②Arconic, an American company, has made plans to build a 4.8-kilometer-high skyscraper (摩天大楼). It says that the super tall building can clean not only itself but also the air around it by ―eating‖ smog and pollutants(污染物). But how is it done?

③Sherri McCleary, a scientist at Arconic, says they have introduced a new technology called EcoClean. It is a special coating that pulls pollutants out of the air. With a little help from sunlight and water vapour (水蒸气)，the coating will produce atoms (原子能) called free radicals (自由基). It is these free radicals that will take in air pollutants, break them down, and then leave the air cleaner.

④But ―eating‖ smog and pollutants is not the only thing this skyscraper is able to do. In fact, thanks to 3D printing, the materials the building used will become even better and stronger---not only making the skyscraper look more modern, but also make it possible to stand strong winds and terrible weather.

⑤However, some people don’t think it will work out well. Air pollu tion has its own character and it harms lots of cities. Does the smog-eating building have such a magical ability to stop the pollution? It seems impossible to bring the pollution under control in a short time. We should prepare ourselves for a hard fight against the pollution.

⑥ Sounds impossible? Anyway, Arconic believes a skyscraper of this kind will be built by 2062.

42. EcoClean works by ___________.

A. standing terrible weather

B. blowing out air pollutants

C. breaking down free radicals

D. pulling pollutants out of the air

43 . The fourth paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. what Arconic is

B. how EcoClean works

C. what else this skyscraper can do

D. why scientists want to build this skyscraper

44. Arconic’s attitude(态度) towards the skyscraper can best be described as __________.

A. hopeful

B. regretful

C. thankful

D. unbelievable

45. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to______________.

A. bring people some pleasure

B. introduce a wonderful technology

C. show how to build the tall building

D. tell us the importance of protecting the environment
