Marie Curie was born in Poland. As a child of two teachers， Marie was taught to read and write early. She was a bright child and did well in school. As Marie grew older， her family came upon hard times. Poland was under the control of Russia at the time. People weren?t allowed to read or write anything in Polish. Her father lost his job because he was in favor of Polish rule. When Marie was ten， her oldest sister died from disease. Two years later her mother also passed away.

After graduating from high school， Marie wanted to attend a university， but this wasn?t something that young women did in Poland in the 1800s. The university was for men. However， a university in Paris called the Sorbonne allowed women to attend. Marie didn?t have enough money to go there， but agreed to work to help her sister Bronislawa to go to school in France. During this period Marie had read a lot of books on math and physics.

After Bronistawa graduated， Marie moved to France and entered the Sorbonne， where she earned her degree in Physics. In 1894 Marie met Pierre Curie. They married a year later.

In 1903， the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to Marie and Pierre Curie as well as Henri Becquerel for their work in radiation （放射現(xiàn)象）. Marie became the first woman to be awarded the prize. In 1911 Marie won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for discovering polonium and radium. She was the first person to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. Soon doctors found that X-ray could help with curing （治愈） cancer.

In 1934 Marie died from overexposure （過(guò)度接觸） to radiation， both from her experiments and her work with X-ray machines.

4. What does the text say about Marie during childhood？

D. She set aside her studies to support her family.

A. She set a historic record.

B. She invented X-ray machines.

C. She made practical use of her discoveries.

D. She won two Nobel Prizes in the same field.

Robot teachers

If you think of the jobs robots could never do， you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It?s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers， but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating （低估） what robots can do？ In some cases， they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also， some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all？

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom： 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students??faces， movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It?s not a popular opinion and it?s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain， though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world， there aren?t enough teachers and 9—16 percent of children under the age of 14 don?t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won?t get stressed， or tired， or move somewhere for an easier， higher-paid job.

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers？” but “How can robots help teachers？” Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails， arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work， including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports， teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

8. In most people?s mind， what kind of jobs are robots more likely to do？

A. Dirty jobs. ? B. Manual jobs. C. Mental jobs. ?? D. Tiresome jobs.

9. What can be known about robot doctors in the text？

A. They are already in use. ?? B. They are being developed.

C. They are beyond imagination. ?? D. They are far from being perfect.

10. What can we know from the 2nd paragraph？

A. Robots will replace teachers in 2027.

B. Robots will act as assistant teachers.

C. Robots will mainly be used in monitoring students.

D. Anthony Seldon?s prediction is not widely accepted yet.

11. What is mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs？

A. Advantages of robot teachers over humans.

B. Changes robot teachers will bring to education.

C. The author?s opinion about robot teachers.

D. Why robot teachers are badly needed in poor areas.

12. What?s the author?s attitude towards the appearance of robot teachers？

A. Ambiguous. ??? B. Eager. ????? C. Frightened. ???? D. Objective.

Travel Company Bans Use of Cellphones， Even for Photos

Would you lake a trip if you could not use your cellphone during it？ Not even as a camera？ A new travel company is asking people to do just that. The company is called Off the Grid. Zach Beattie is its founder. “When you?re somewhere new， there?s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet.” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract （使分心） you.”

Trip arrangements provided by Off the Grid include at least three activities and two social events. The company prefers special experiences in more traditional sightseeing. The Lisbon trip， for example， includes surfing lessons， exercise by the sea， a day of boating and dinner with a local family. Beattie says he does not want the travelers to be too busy going from one place to another.

Beattie started the business using the money he saved from a technology job at a mapping company. He employs guides to lead each trip. But he will help lead the first few tours himself.

Most students have picked up a few bad habits at home like being disorganized and not having breakfast. And these bad habits may follow students to the classroom. __1__?So it is important to realize these bad habits that can cause poor grades in order to get out of them.

* Not getting enough sleep. __2__?Research has shown us that during sleep， the brain organizes and stores information learned during the day. Not getting enough sleep can seriously influence a student?s ability to focus in class.

* Poor nutrition （營(yíng)養(yǎng)）. Food provides energy. If students eat a sugar-filled breakfast， or don?t eat anything in the morning， they run the risk of performing badly in school. __3__

* Too much screen time. __4__?Much evidence （證據(jù)） is showing that multitasking， which means doing several tasks at the same time， is not as good as it was thought before. When students are doing homework， surfing the Internet doesn?t necessarily improve their ability to work， and it can reduce their ability to focus on a single task for a period of time.

*__5__?Many students don?t like asking their parents for help at home. In fact， asking a parent for help at home is a great habit， and learning to ask a teacher for help is even better. Often bad test marks or a poor report card shows that something may be wrong. At this time， students really need help from their parents or teachers in order to correct the problem.

A. Staying alone.

B. Not getting help.

C. Students of all ages need an early and regular bedtime.

D. Students usually leave homework until the last minute.

E. TVs， computers and cell phones are attractive to students.

F. As a result， they cause bad effects on their learning and grades.

G. Without proper nutrition， children can tire easily and be absent-minded in class.

V. 閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（不多于三個(gè)單詞）或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

Black or White
