27、A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology finds that older and younger people have a varying preference for what they would want a personal robot to look like. And they change their minds based on what the robot is supposed to do.

Participants were shown a series of photos, either robotic, human or mixed human-robot faces, and were asked to select the one that they would prefer for their robot’s appearance. Most college-aged adults in the study preferred a robotic appearance, although the others were also generally open to them. However, nearly 60 percent of older adults said they would want a robot with a human face, and only 6 percent of them chose one with a mixed human-robot appearance.

"We found that participants, both younger and older, will assign emotional traits to a robot based on its face, which will determine what they are most comfortably interacting with," Akanksha Prakash, a psychology graduate student at Georgia Tech who led the study, said in a statement. So when participants were told the robot was helping with personal care, chores, social interaction or helping to make decisions, something interesting happened.

Preference was less strong for helping with chores, although the majority of older and younger participants chose a robot with a robotic face. But for decision-making tasks, such as getting advice on where to invest money, younger participants tended to select a mixed human-robot appearance. A robotic face was their least favored choice for this task. Older adults generally preferred a human face. Personal care tasks such as bathing caused the most divisive preferences within both age groups. Those who chose a human face did so because they associated the robot with human-like care capabilities — such as nursing — and trustworthy traits. Many others didn’t want anything looking like a human to bathe them due to the private nature of the task.

Based on this early research, the researcher says that if a robot is designed to help only with a specific task, its appearance should fit in with the task. For instance, if the robot is designed to specifically assist the user with critical decisions, the robot should be given an intelligent look instead of a funny one. However, if the robot is tasked with a variety of jobs in the home, allowing for appearance customizability(可定制性) might be the best option.

The researcher next plans to expand the study to other age groups and people with more diverse educational backgrounds.

【1】What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. college-aged adults

B. all participants

C. older adults

D. younger participants

【2】What happened when participants were offered robots handling different tasks?

A. They tended to choose one with a human face.

B. They didn’t care about robotic appearance any more.

C. They were into one with decision-making skills most.

D. Their preference for robotic appearance changed accordingly.

【3】Which robots lead to the biggest gap in people’s preference for robotic appearance?

A. Those with personal care skills.

B. Those with decision-making skills.

C. Those with housekeeping skills.

D. Those with social interaction skills.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Deciding what robots suit you best contains many tricks

B. Determining what robots should look like varies with age

C. How robots with a human face benefit people?

D. Why people have a preference for robots?

28、Some people have a dependency on an afternoon nap. 【1】 It can also help them feel more alert (机敏的)for the afternoon ahead. Even Boris Johnson supposedly favors a power nap during his work day. Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Leonardo Da Vinci were all famous nappers.

Napping is a great way to feel more rested and alert-and some research shows it car benefit our cognitive function. 【2】 If you need to be alert right after waking up, so-called "power naps" of 10-30 minutes are recommended.

While short naps are great for increasing energy, longer naps are more beneficial for learning. According to the research, they improve activation of the hippocampus—an area of the brain important for learning and memory. 【3】

【4】 It's possible that they help the brain clean up sleep-inducing (诱导睡眠的)waste products that would otherwise hold up brain activity, and that they refill the brain's energy stores. Short naps may also help improve your attention by letting particularly sleepy areas of the brain recover, hence preventing instability in the brain's networks.

Although napping has many positive short-term effects, they are not recommended for people who suffer from insomnia（失眠症）. Because naps decrease sleepiness, they may make it harder to fall asleep when going to bed in the evening. 【5】 For instance, if the best performance is needed instantly afterwards, don't nap, as it may take some time to fully wake up.

A．But many more prefer not to

B．It is to catch up on lost sleep.

C．How has napping become so popular?

D．Naps should also be avoided in some situations

E．Why short naps are so beneficial is not well understood

F．However, you may want to consider how long you have to nap.

G．A one-to-two-hour nap benefits both motor skills and memory abilities.

29、Modern medicine and the latest technology can save many lives. If you live in a country where healthcare is readily available and accessible, then your chances of recovering from illnesses or accidents are very good. But for many people in the US who are uninsured (无保险的), they can't afford these new medical treatments. That's why Doctor Demetrio Aguila in Norfolk lets poor patients pay for surgery (外科手术) through volunteer work.

“For years I had been doing surgery for patients and taking care of their health problems. Then I would find out months later, sometimes years later, that I had caused their financial ruin，” Aguila said. Serious illnesses can completely deplete a family's savings, leaving them no choice but to go bankrupt (破产).

Then he formed Healing Hands M25 as a way to give poor patients the medical fees they need by donating their time to community service. The process is pretty simple. They practice partners with local charitable organizations. The patient picks the charity and donates his time and sweat; Aguila determines the amount of volunteer hours the patient has to complete. “We've lowered the cost of healthcare. We've made it fair for everybody involved，” Aguila said.

The first patient to participate in the program was Jeffrey Jenson who worked for 560 hours to pay for surgery on his leg. Jenson asked his friends and family to help him complete the hours. Jenson said that his volunteer work greatly affected his life as much as the surgery. “The M25 program is not about money — it's about if people come together to help other people, then the community becomes better，” said Jenson.

This program is a big win for the patients, the local community, and Dr Aguila who knows he has done everything he could to help his patients.

【1】How does Aguila make poor patients pay for surgery?

A．In cash.

B．Through an insurance company.

C．By doing volunteer work.

D．By serving the doctor.

【2】What does the underlined word “deplete” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Set aside.

B．Use up.

C．Cut down.

D．Add to.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．What Healing Hands M25 does.

B．How Healing Hands M25 works.

C．Why Aguila runs Healing Hands M25.

D．Why patients choose Healing Hands M25.
