June 6, Saturday
I read an article about people living in the e-age yesterday. It talks about different ways of communicating like chatting online (在线), sending e-mails, sending different kinds
of messages and keeping an online diary.
The article says that people send e-mails at least once a day. I do not agree with this because I send e-mails only twice a week. However, I do check my e-mails once a day. I like receiving e-mails.
About chatting online, the article says that chatting online is becoming more and more popular among teenagers. I think this is true. Whenever I get home, I turn on my computer and chat online with my friends. I prefer chatting online to calling a friend, because I can chat with many friends at the same time.
I also like using mobile phones. When I do not have my computer with me, I can send short messages to my friends. I like keeping in touch (保持联络) with them in this way.
I keep an online diary four times a week. I like telling others what has happened to me.
I think I am one of the people living in the e-age. I can’t live without computers or mobile phones.
What about you? Can you live without computers or mobile phones?

We use chopsticks to eat every day. They were first used in China over 5,000 years ago. In the beginning, people cooked food in big pots. The food was very hot, and they had to use sticks (棍子) and knives to eat it.
Later, to make it easier and faster to cook the food, people cut the food into pieces. Then, people didn’t need to use knives anymore at table. They just needed chopsticks.
Confucius helped chopsticks become popular in China. He believed knives made people think about killing animals. He thou ght that “a good man allows no knives at table”. Many people agreed with him and they used only chopsticks to eat their food at table.
Chopsticks had spread from China to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and even Thailand by 500 AD. Today, over a billion and a half people use this invention every day.

七、阅读理解(二) (每小题2分，共10分)
Look at the old “man”. He looks like the famous scie ntist Einstein. It is a robot which is made by American scientists. Although the Einstein robot has only a head and two shoulders, it is very clever. It can not only know people’s feeling, but also tell people’s age and sex. It can even make some simple human actions, such as shaking the head.
Some scientists hope to make more robots just like humans. They want to make more robots that are kind, understanding and caring about others. “It is very interesting to make such kinds of robots. We also hope they are as clever as us,” the famous scientist Hanson said. But it is very hard to make such kinds of robots, because the cleverer the robots are, the more difficult they will be controlled. So the American students chose the head of the famous scientist Einstein because he was a peaceful and kind old person. This kind of robot is very expensive. It costs about 75 thousand dollars to make one Einstein robot. Hanson hopes one day the cost can be only 200 dollars.
