I am one of the few man who work as a nursery school teacher in London. Most of my kids come from families on problems. It's surprised how very young children understand or are aware of things that go wrong in home. This, of course, affects them and sometimes make them very difficult to deal. At such times you have to be very patient with them.
I don't think that women are natural better with children than men are. Anybody who is preparing to understand and help children, and who has the right qualities can look after them and teach them. The qualities are there, in all men and women, but most men don't use them. I think my group of children rather like being with a man for the change, especially since they don't see their fathers very much. So I don't feel I'm doing a ‘woman's job’; in fact, as a man, I feel I can bring something extra to the job.
The first1.(obviously) reason is the money.I am not one of those rich2.(kid)whose parents could give them cars3.birthday presents.My parents4.(work) all their lives and saved every penny to pay my tuition and living expenses.Although they would be willing to give me some pocket money if I5.(ask),I prefer to earn it6. (me).I feel good that I can in a way lighten the burden of my parents.
The second reason is the experience my part-time job provides.Sooner or later,I'll have to enter the job market and sell myself.And if I am to sell myself for a good price,experience will make a difference.7.working,I get to know people,employers as8.(good) as workers.I learn how to deal with the bosses and how to get along9.my fellow workers.All this experience10.(gain) from my part-time job will be valuable to my future.

Coming from the Bronx, Jennifer Lopez knew from an early age it would be tough to achieve her dream. In an interview in 2002 she remembered, "I had such a will in me. I had such a passion in me. I could overcome my situation. But a lot of people will get beaten down and be held back by that. "Lopez was not beaten down by her situation.1.
Lopez's big breakthrough came in 1996 when she played the main role in the movie Selena.2.Since then, she has had starring roles in several successful movies, including Out of Sight with George Clooney.
3.In 1999,she released（发行）her first album, On the 6. Two songs from the album, "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight," both reached number one on the Billboard music charts. The album sold more than three million copies around the world.
After starring in The Cell(2000), Lopez released her second album, J.Lo, in 2001. The album went straight to the top of the Billboard chart.4.It became the number one movie at the box office. This meant that Lopez was the first entertainer to ever have a number one album and a number one movie at the same time!
5.2001 was also the year Lopez started her own line of clothing, called J.Lo, and she married Cris Judd, a dancer who performed in her videos. The marriage did not last long, and Lopez and Judd divorced nine months later.
In 2002, Lopez starred in the films Enough and Maid in Manhattan, which became Lopez's biggest movie yet, earning $19 million.
A. Lopez quitted her career in acting.
B. Then, Lopez turned her attention toward music.
C. She began to dream of her success in entertainment.
D. But her entertainment career was not the only thing Lopez focused on that year.
E. For this movie, Lopez got paid $1 million and became the highest paid Latin actress of all time.
F. At the same time that her album came out, Lopez's new movie, The Wedding Planner, opened in theaters.
G. She worked hard dancing, singing, and acting in theaters and her hard work paid off with small roles in television and films.
"If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing harm caused by robots." Author Daniel Wilson's description of How to Survive a Robot Uprising seems like it is straight out of a robot disaster movie. "The problem with cleverly-designed robots is that we become dependent on them," says Wilson.
The classic movie Westworld describes an amusement park where, after a safety error, the robots spend a killing period of time. Yet in reality, statistics show that as technology improves there is a trend towards increased safety. Similarly, public transport systems using computers and machines are believed to be more reliable than those in human control, and a robot-assisted operation is more precise and results in fewer medical problems.
But where does the idea of robots being cruel and harmful come from? "Robots were pop culture figures before they existed," says Wilson. "They were frightening creatures in novels. When robots really started existing, they already had this image(形象) set up not based on reality. That's exactly what happened—a movie monster became real."
Recent reports talked of a robot "attack" on a worker in Sweden. Even if these references to an attack rather than an error are meant in joke, this only makes the problem worse. "We're so interested in the robot-attack storyline that it can influence the way real robot-safety problems are discussed," says one journalist. But with robots becoming increasingly advanced, is it going to come a time when an error could become an unkind and cruel attack?
"Robots are just a bunch of metal," says one engineer. "If you are scared, then you are scared of the people building them." So what do engineers think we should be afraid of? Nanotechnology is the science which involves developing and making extremely small but very powerful machines. Some engineers suggest that with these new developments come "severe dangers" if they are used inappropriately. Its theory goes that "the small size and rapid potential of nano-built weaponry（武器）will make it difficult to control and hard to keep out of the hands of terrorists. "And this is a view shared by some artificial intelligence experts. "With robots...if it makes an error, you can unplug it and shut it down. But if you have lots of nano-built weapons, which are extremely small, there is no way you can do the same thing."

Edmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand's Southern Alps.
Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions（探险队）had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.
Hillary's spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.
Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixties Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust（信托基金）. It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.
Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.
