26、 How do you know if your mother likes you or not? That is a question I have been struggling with a lot lately. My mother and I used to talk on the phone a few times a day. I saw her at least twice a week. Now she doesn’t answer when I call, and never calls me back. She doesn’t see me and then complains that I don’t see her enough.
It all started a few months ago, I started having a date with a man, and we became serious quickly. This is not the first boyfriend I have had. I know she isn’t mad at me for my finding love. The turn-in events happened when I moved from about 15 minutes away from my mom to 1.5 hours away from her. She encouraged it, she seemed happy, and she helped me pack. Since then, everything has changed.
I can’t tell if she cares about me and I don’t know if she is bitter. When I call her, she says she is busy and will call me back. Then the problem is that she never calls me back, I make plans with her, but she cancels. Then when I do see her, she gives me comments like “It’s been a while since you came to see me”. It seems like I haven’t tried. It’s very frustrating.
I don’t know what is wrong, and she won’t talk to me, so I can’t find out. Does anyone have any advice for what to do in a situation like this? Part of me wants to cry and stop trying. But not talking to her tears me apart. Please give me some advice below.

28、 Gratitude is not only an art performed in daily life, but also part of our traditional virtue. Has your mother or friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? Do you feel unable to appreciate the world or people around you? Are you obsessed with things you don’t have instead of being thankful for what you do have? 【1】then you will definitely need to work on being a more grateful person.
Showing gratitude has been put forward in the last few decades.【2】 But there are still some tips that help make it possible for you to practice gratitude.
Refusing to play the victim is the first step you’re supposed to take. 【3】 If you want to be grateful, stop complaining the world, your teachers, your friends and your family about not putting themselves in your shoes, and focus on how much they’ve helped and cared about you.
Volunteering in your community is another effective way to show how grateful you are for what the world has given you. Whether you’re helping clean up a local park, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching children or adults in your community to learn to read, your perspective towards life will change positively. 【4】
【5】 You shouldn’t always be good only to your close friends or family members. You can help a neighbor look for a lost dog. You can also help an old lady carry her grocery. You don’t have to search for these opportunities purposely. Sometimes they will present themselves. So when they come, act with generosity. You’ll be more grateful for your role played in the world.

29、 A new type of robot could help industries to cut costs and make better products.
Industrial robots have long been dangerous, caged creatures. But in recent years, the barriers between robots and humans have been coming down. A friendlier type of robot has begun appearing on the factory floor – and with it, a new way of working that could cut costs in many industries.
One area that has benefited hugely is the car industry. “In a car plant, a vehicle is produced every minute, and approximately 1,000 cars are made a day,” said Adolfo Suarez Roos, the Airbus Group expert who works with robotics on the French National Research Agency project ICARO. On the project, robots are able to help workers with repetitive tasks.
Suarez is hopeful the same success can be enjoyed while making planes. But given that robotics isn’t as widely used, the challenges are very different. “When making cars ,a robot has 40 seconds to do its job and the complete programming task takes about a month,” he said. “At Airbus, we produce 1.5 aircraft per day, so we have to look at tasks that will last several hours. We need mobile robots and a very simple way to program the robot.”
At Cranfield University, the EPSRC Centre in Intelligent Automation is trying to make this a reality for flight. An important part of the work is understanding how tasks can be divided between industrial robots and human operators to make use of the skills of both. When man and machine are working together over long periods of time, engineers are looking at how human can improve the robot or the robot can improve the human.
The project, called Futurassy, last year began introducing the robots to perform the processes that could be used across other sites by Airbus, an aircraft company.
The first robotic unit bought by Airbus arrived last year, and is now used at the A380 station, where humans now work with the robot. Key to the success of this project is safety, and making sure that the barriers between human and robot are just enough to still allow a productive working relationship.
Prof Phil Webb claims there is no doubt that the number of robots putting together aircraft will increase significantly over the next few years. Cost pressures placed on the traditional centers in North America and Europe mean they soon won’t have a choice but to move ahead with robotics.
【1】Which industry has benefited a lot from robotics according to the article?
A.The car industry. B.The plane industry.
C.The computer industry. D.The service industry.
【2】What are the main difficulties of using robots to make planes?
a. The high cost of robots.

A.a, b, c B.b, c, d
C.b, d, e D.a, c, e
【3】What is the main factor that has pushed the aircraft industry to move ahead with robotics?
A.Technology development. B.Cost pressures.
C.A shortage of workers. D.The low efficiency of workers.
【4】What is the article mainly about?
A.Safety tips for robotics in industries.
B.The aircraft industry’s difficult situation.
C.The use of robots in the aircraft industry.
D.The advantages and disadvantages of robots.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation.

A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
