Making good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! The first time you meet a person isn’t a good time to complain.

Ask open questions that can’t be answered with one word. “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.

Ask a follow-up (接下来的) question if you have asked a question that can be answered with one word. For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”

Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favourite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?” These questions often show a hidden interest, which can help you go on with a great conversation.

React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy. So, if the person tells a joke, even if it’s not funny, try to laugh. And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.

Computers can help us in many ways, but they cannot think or do things on their own. Humans have to feed them with information and tell them what to do. They cannot come up with any new information, but they can save much time and work. For example, all the information and the office files (文件) can be stored in a computer’s “memory”.

The first computers were huge and expensive. They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices. Later, scientists found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers. They invented chips (芯片) which made it possible to store more information in less space.

Today, computers are not only cheaper, but also more compact. They can just be placed on top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place to place easily. Computers are not only used in offices by companies, but are used at home by families who can afford them.

Robots are only moving parts controlled by computers. A robot can do the same work as a person for 24 hours without complaining or getting tired.

In Japan and some places in America, robots are used in factories to assemble (装配) cars. As computers become more and more common in businesses and factories, people fear that one day computers and computer-controlled robots will put human workers out of work.

1.What were the first computers like?

A.Small and cheap B.Huge and expensive C.Small and expensive D.Huge but cheap

2.The underlined phrase “more compact” can be replaced by “　　　”.

A.larger B.brighter C.smaller D.heavier

Robot Green was 31 years old when he went to college. That was his first time he came into the classroom. Eleven years later he received a doctor’s degree in physics. Robert Green was a good example in studies for all people. His life was a moving story.

From a young age, Robert Green lived a simple and poor life with his grandfather in the mountains of Boston. His grandfather taught him to read. Later he taught himself to read Maths books and Physics books. From time to time, he bought old books with his saved money and read them all. At that time few people in Robert’s neighborhood knew about his love of reading and learning. But one person, Jane Keller did know him. She worked in a library. Robert used to go there and he read everything in it. She suggested books for him to read.

A year later, he entered Bethel College. He was interested in everything that he had never seen before. He got an A in every subject. To his teachers’ surprise, he finished college in three years. His teachers encouraged him greatly and he went on his education at Stanford University.

Imagine having a printer that could make anything. Need new shoes? Just choose a style and size and then print some.

No machine can make all of these things, but 3-D printers are getting very close. Traditional printers put ink on paper. But 3-D printers work with plastic, metal or other materials, including food. Invented in the mid-1980s, 3-D printing is a new technology (技术).

In the past, 3-D printers were so expensive that only large companies could afford them. In the last one or two years, their cost has dropped greatly. Today, you can buy a 3-D printer for as little as $300. The technology offers the potential (可能性) to print anything at home. When you want something, you needn’t buy it in a store or order it from a factory.

3-D printing can be fun too. For the Valentine’s Day (情人节) last year, a Japanese company used a 3-D printer to make chocolate copies of people’s faces. At the Fashion Week in Paris, 3-D printing made an appearance too. The clothes were made for show, not for everyday use. But that could soon change. A designer says, “It will only be a matter of time before we see the clothing we wear today produced with this technology.”
