When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and theyhave feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials.46.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television,left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students—“so passive” —and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Televi sion, says Clomps, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ vet never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them bu t it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.51.

By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para.2) the author means a time _______.A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education54. The main idea of the passage is that _______.A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. it’s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kidsC(55) When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. (56) Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.(57) Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. (58) Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.(59)A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.B. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.C. We ought to keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good forourselves and others.D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habbits.F. These are all easily formed habits.G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.IV．短文改错文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。
