I would like to have a smart robot that can do plenty of the things for me. For example, it can clean my room and make the bed, keeps everything in order. I hope it will be programmed to do homeworks without making mistakes. In that way, I can turn to it wherever I need help with my study. Beside, it can take care of my little brother, who often bothered me much. Then I can have more free time to do what I’m fond.

Some people think working overtime means you’re a hard worker. You have to sacrifice your personal time to stay at work, produce something, help the company, and be a more devoted employee. But is that right? 1. This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else.
A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work to their full potential instead of expecting them to work late even if they don’t have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs. 2.
Overworking may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency(效率). Any company that makes their employees work those hours is not being managed well. The fault lies with management, who should take a good look at themselves. 3. And the boss would prefer you work efficiently 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor efficiency.
4. The fact is the competition is so fierce that if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they don’t belong or are denied promotions. It is time to abandon the culture of overworking, to work smarter, more efficiently and have a balance with personal life.
Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his (or her) shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have ourselves on the way to the good future, which is not certain. 5.
A. No one wants to work overtime.
B. The boss thinks highly of overworking.
C. Working too many hours only means you are inefficient.
D. And it affects their performance, as well as other aspects of their life.
E. What’s sure is that if you’re lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.
F. Managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side.
G. In many countries, overworking would be criticized because it reflects poor work efficiency.
Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?
Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.
The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device”.
The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.
In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together.” he said.
So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二极管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that few people will be able to afford.
But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”
1.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Screen devices on the market. B. Foldable age is arriving.
C. Possible powers of a tablet. D. Foldable screens are imperfect.
2.What can we learn from Justin Denison’s words?
A. The foldable screen has great potential.
B. The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.
C. The production of foldable phones will soon increase.
D. Companies need to work together to develop foldable phone.
3.What is the problem with foldable phones at the moment?
A. They are easy to break. B. They are inconvenient to carry.
C. They are not as useful as expected. D. They are unaffordable for most families.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the foldable screen?
A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
