【推荐2】Lots of scientists are studying robots today. Many robots don’t always look like people. Some are like big machines, and some are nothing but long arms. However, modern robots are smart. Some can solve problems on their own.
Robots are more and more useful and important in our life. They help us a lot. In factories, robots can help people do a lot of work. They work faster and do not need a rest. People will feel bored if they do the same job again and again, but robots will not. They can work in some dangerous places where people cannot.
Robots are useful in our homes, too. They can help us do some cooking. They can help the blind people read newspapers, help the old people move some heavy things and so on. If we have some other problems, we can also ask them for help.
However, robots are not so clever as people. They cannot think like us. If we do not “teach” them how to do things first, they can do nothing.
It’s possible that we will have our own robots, and they will help us to do more things in the future.

【推荐3】Which is the fastest way to go? Most of us surely think the plane is. The seats are so soft that it is really comfortable to travel by plane. But is it very interesting to travel by plane? Different people have different ideas. For people who fly often in economy class (经济舱), the answer may be no. They feel tired and uncomfortable quite often because of the very small space. But according to Ron Soret, an airplane scientist, there are some ways to help us enjoy the journey better. Hope you will have an interesting air travel and enjoy the journey.
Sit near the front of the plane. When you choose seats, a seat near the front of the plane will help with a better ride. Soret says, “The front part of the plane is usually the most comfortable. You hardly feel the turbulence (湍流) if it is not very serious.” Soret also says the front part of the plane is the quietest. Maybe you can enjoy reading a magazine or have a good sleep during the journey.
Taking an aisle (过道) seat is also a good choice. Soret says the aisle seats have bigger spaces. You can stretch your arms and legs to keep your body relaxed. It helps you feel less tired after the journey. But you have to stand up when other people in the same row want to go to the bathroom.
Be careful with the temperature. That is important, too. Temperatures in the plane are usually similar to those of your hometown. That means you wear a T-shirt when you get on the plane, you may still just need a T-shirt when you are in the plane. If you are too cold, you can ask for a blanket.

③ It is the quietest. ④It is the safest.
| A．①② | B．①③ | C．②③ |

【推荐1】Do you, like listening to music? Do you often turn up the music when you’re using earphones? If so, your hearing may have been damaged (损坏).
The World Health Organization (WHO) is worried that about 1.1 billion children and young people are damaging their hearing by listening to loud music. Nearly half the young people in developed countries may lose their hearing because of the “unsafe use" of music players, including smartphones. Loud music, in nightclubs, at parties and sports also makes it worse. The WHO advises young people to listen to music for just one hour a day. Dr. Etienne Krug told BBC, “What we’re trying to do is to draw people’s attention to a problem that is not talked about enough .”He said it was easy to solve this problem.
Dr. Krug said keeping the music down and limiting the listening time to less than one hour a day would save a lot of people’s hearing. However, he also Baid, “Even an hour can be too much if the music is too loud.” Ralph Holme, a researcher, explained how loud noise could damage ears. He said, "Loud sounds damage your hearing by killing off thousands of little hair cells (细胞) in the inner ear. The cells can tell different sounds through vibration (振动). But they are very fragile -- they get damaged easily and even die if they vibrate too much because of loud sounds for too long.” He warned. “The bigger problem is that they don’t grow back and the ear can no longer hear sounds”.
No one wants to lose their hearing! Therefore, next time when you listen to music, make sure it’s not too loud and only listen for less than an hour, You can enjoy your music much better in this way.
