26、Why Do We Find It Hard to Say “No”?
As we all know, saying “no” to others is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. 【1】 Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say “no” :
●【2】 You are a kind soul at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may eat into your time.
● Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face saving is important. 【3】
● Wanting to be agreeable. You don’t want to alienate (疏远) yourself from the group because you’re not in agreement. So you agree to others’ requests.
● Fear of conflict (冲突) 【4】 This might lead to an ugly confrontation (面对). Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future.
●【5】 Perhaps you are worried saying “no” means closing doors. For example, one of my friends’ wives was asked to work in another department in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion (晋升) chances in the future.
A. Wanting to help others.
B. Fear of losing chances.
C. Wanting to keep a good relationship.
D. I slowly realized I needed to learn to say “no”.
E. You are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him / her.
F. It means not making others look bad or lose face.
G. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us from it.
27、It is important for you to be a good listener in class. Much of what you will have to learn will be presented verbally (口头上) by your teachers. Just hearing what your teachers say is not the same as listening to what they say. Listening is a cognitive (认知的) act that requires you to pay attention and think about and mentally process what you hear. Here are some things you should do to be a good listener in class.
*Be Cognitively Ready to Listen When You Come to Class. 【1】 Review your notes from previous class sessions. Think about what you know about the topic that will be covered in class that day.
*Be Emotionally Ready to Listen When You Come to Class. 【2】 Make a conscious choice to find the topic useful and interesting. Be committed to learning all that you can.
*Be an Active Listener. 【3】 Use this to your advantage by evaluating what is being said and trying to anticipate what will be said next. Take good written notes about what your teacher says. While you can think faster than your teacher can speak, you cannot write faster than your teacher can speak. 【4】
*Meet the Challenge. Don’t give up and stop listening when you find the information being presented difficult to understand. Listen even more carefully at these times and work hard to understand what is being said. 【5】
A．Listen with an open mind.
B．Your attitude is important.
C．Taking notes requires you to make decisions about what to write.
D．Don’t give in to these inconveniences.
E．Make sure you complete all assigned work.
F．You can think faster than your teacher can speak.
G．Don’t be reluctant to ask questions.
28、Green travel is becoming more and more popular. Travelers are changing their usual holiday places through green travel. It is not only good for the earth，but also for the experience of the trip.【1】
Choose a green place.
【2】If you are one of those travelers，start by choosing a green place. Travelers should look at places that are friendly to the environment.
【3】
Travelers should know something about green hotels before they book. Some hotels host educational talks to help their guests make green choices，other hotels will use signs and brochures to educate the guests.
Use public transport，hire a bike or walk.
It may seem easy to drive a private car to see the sights，but it is not good for the environment. To reduce the carbon emissions（排放），why not use public transport？【4】ride a bike or walk.
Choose to eat local.
Many travelers want to visit local homes and taste home cooked meals. Eating locally made a good influence（影响）on a country.

C．Since plastic is everywhere
D．Have you made the right decision?

29、 When you think of a robot, what do you see? A machine that looks a bit like you and me?
【1】 They don’t need to look like humans — in fact, most don’t.
What a robot looks like depends on its purpose. Cleaning robots often look like little vacuums. 【2】 Robots that are meant to interact with people often have a face, eyes, or a mouth — just like we do!
Whether they look like us or not, most robots have three essential parts that make them a robot: sensors, actuators and programs.
Together, these parts are what make a robot different from other gadgets you might have around your house, like your computer or your washing machine.
【3】 Just like we have eyes to sense light, ears to sense sound, robots have light sensors and cameras so they can “see,” microphones so they can “hear”.
Second, a robot has actuators that allow it to move around. 【4】 And we might use our hands to pick up an orange and peel it. A robot might use actuators such as motors and wheels to drive to places, and finger-like grippers (机器人手爪) to grasp objects and control them or turn them around.
Third, a robot needs a program that lets it act on its own based on what it is sensing.【5】 When a robot is autonomous, it’s not quite the same as a person being autonomous, because a person still has to write the computer program that tells the robot what to do.
A.Flying robots might have wings like birds.
B.The past robots were not artificially intelligent.
C.We might use our legs and feet to walk and run.
D.This ability to act on one’s own is called autonomy.
E.First, a robot has sensors that allow it to “see” the world.
F.We would need some actuators so that the robot could move.
G.The reality is that robots can have different shapes and sizes.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
