We all have our favourite music, films or books — but which are the most popular
B
ever?
The most popular album (音乐专辑)
Thriller by Michael Jackson
At the time Jackson started writing his best-selling album Thriller, he hoped that his album would
sell 50 million copies. He was wrong — it sold over ten million more than that. Even today around
130,000 copies are sold in the USA every year.
The most popular classical music
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony
When Beethoven was alive, his Fifth Symphony wasn’t his most popular piece of music. But now
most people know the da da da dah introduction. In the 20th century, the first four notes (音
符) were used by other musicians to make different types of music like hiphop and rock and roll.

Many people think the best-selling book of all time is one of the Harry Potter books. It’s true

single novel is much older.
A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles Dickens in 1859 and has sold 250 million copies.

TheShawshankRedemption, directed by Frank Darabont in 1994, didn’t make much money at the cinema.

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste
of money.
In San Diego recently $325,000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to
do some scientific experiments. The research proved that squirrels are able to scare
away snakes by wagging (摇动) their tails. Do you need a robotic squirrel to work
this out?
What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In Japanese aibou means
“buddy”. These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide
entertainment. They've been used in movies and music videos. Universities have used
them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these
robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of money?
Then there’s NAO, a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its
main purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its
own personality. It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home,
or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with. A fully developed
one costs $16,000. Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’
t thought of any.
27. What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 公司
B. 机构
C. 对手
D. 伙伴
28. What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?
A. The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.
B. AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment.
C. A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages.
D. All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.
29. What does the writer think of developing robots?
A. It can help bring people a lot of fun.
B. It has advantages in many ways.
C. It may be useful but costs too much.
D. It is worth a great deal of
money.

“This is John,” said Mr Turner. The boy standing next to him was tall, with
a friendly face. I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs (大拇指) up.
That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group. They smiled at
him and he smiled back.
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them. I
was sure he wouldn’t choose me. I wasn’t one of the cool kids.
“Hyun, I want you to be John’s buddy this term,” said Mr Turner. Me? I couldn’
t believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even
looked unhappy.
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me. “Hello,”
he said in a confident voice.
“Hello,” I replied, not looking at him.
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but
John didn’t seem to notice.
Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that
Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would
decide that he’d rather be buddies with them.
Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered (大摇大摆地
走) up to us.
“Mr Turner says you’re a good basketball player, John,” said Adam.“How’
d you like to play with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn’t know anything about
basketball."
“No thanks,” said John.“I’d rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn’t
mind. Mr Turner says he’s an excellent player.”
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground. I remembered the
saying we learnt in class about not judging (判断) a book by its cover. I completely
misjudged John.
30. The underlined “him” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. Adam
B. Mr Turner
C. Chen
D. John
