Last weekend, my British friend, Jim, spots a paper-cutting booth when we were wandering on street. Having never seen paper-cuts, he immediate bought one. However, the seller shook her head when see the 100-yuan note Jim handed to her. She had no changes! How disappointed Jim was! He was about to quit while I took out my cellphone, scanned the QR code on the booth and paid for five yuan. Jim was very surprising. I explained to her that nowadays we could pay with a cellphone for almost everything. “Wow!” Jim said, “The paper-cut looks great, and the payment method seems even great!”

For most students, writing more clearly persuasively presents a great challenge. 1.Few of them, though, focus on filling their essays with necessary information and details, let alone organizing the information.
In order to make an essay convincing, students should know how to select the necessary information and details. 2. Information that can help students clarify and better convey their ideas is certainly important. To figure out what this is, you should make sure you understand the theme of the essay. 3.
Suppose you were asked to write an essay describing a memorable event in your life. You should start off by thinking about the events you’ve experienced, and why a particular event is especially memorable to you. 4. While writing the essay, you should constantly remind yourself that since the event must be a memorable one, you should pay attention to describing the details that make it so special.
5. Indeed, before you include any information in your essay, you should think about how to link reasons, examples and details together before you start writing. Only then will you be able to produce a strong and coherent (连贯的) essay.
A.But how do you know what to include?
B.Good writing is sure to leave a deep impression on the readers.
C.Through this process, you can choose a meaningful experience.
D.You can begin with a question, such as why I’m writing this essay.
E.Many can write grammatically correct sentences and choose proper words.
F.However, even if you think of good reasons and examples, you must try to organize your essay well.
G.Only after clearly understanding the topic can you choose proper reasons and examples to support your ideas.
Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The “head chef”, named Andrew, is using his two long arms; he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.
CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70% of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.”
This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumer demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain’s app return more frequently than those who don’t, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has boosted sales at busy stores during peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.
Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging it or finding an Airbnb to book unique homes.
1.Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?
A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.
B.Automation may increase business costs.

3.What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?
A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.
B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.
C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.
D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of automation?
A.Critical. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
