Sometimes, he would not let me give a hand. I really enjoyed stay in the kitchen. Besides, there were also not good kitchen moment.

The Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast version(播客)of my column, but now I am faced with a tough competition.
To be fair, Amy1.(do) something going for her. She has a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her2.(two) advantage is that she's practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text3.speech, costing-nearly nothing. Even more4.(impress) is her speed. Less than two seconds after receiving my5.(write) text, which means when I just start to read, "Yesterday the Finan…", she has already finished.
Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt6.(good). I know it's early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. Listening to her is not like listening to7.non-English speaker read aloud, but to someone without brain, or heart, or sense of humor. Her8.(deliver) is so poor that I don't even understand. Amy never reads with understanding, never knows when9.(pause), and never does irony. She continues to get it wrong.
Finally, I'm not afraid Amy is about to steal my job. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart-to-heart communication10.makes us special, beautiful and irreplaceable.

Talking to strangers along your travels can change your trip into an adventure. Here are rules of thumb to serve as your guide.
Don't ignore your fellow tourists. When you go to some place off the beaten path, you're likely to meet other tourists there. Find them, and ask where you would go.1.
Abandon your phone. Phones often get between you and the surroundings, ruining your chances to make contact with the people you see.2., take a deep breath and put it in a different pocket or cover it with tape.
3..The easiest way to do this is to talk to people who are in "open roles", such as anyone in a public service job, or a taxi driver. Or ask someone seated near you; ask where the person's favorite street is; ask if there's a residential area where it would be nice to take a walk.
Use a map-or none at all.4..However, the truth is, sometimes those small streets are nowhere to be found with a map. So ask for directions a lot. Asking for any kind of help is the key to many doors.
Most Important: Ask good questions. Finding good questions means observing and noticing. A well-turned question shows that you are really paying attentions you are curious and ready to listen.5..
A. Let strangers make your plans
B. Maps can be of great assistance
C. When the unwillingness gets in the way
D. A good question will get you everywhere
E. They are going to offer advice made of gold
F. Those fellow tourists can make sense of your journey
G. If abandoning your phone isn't practical or feels insecure to you
Is that person really glad to see me? Or is he just being polite? Some people struggle to tell an artificial smile from a truly happy-one. And computers have found this task even more difficult. Recently, researchers have trained a program to detect when a smile is genuine(真诚的).
Visual computing researchers at the University of Bradford in the U. K. started with a software for analyzing a changing facial expression. This program can examine a video clip of a human head and identify(确认) specific details around the eyes, cheeks and mouth. Then the program tracks the details relative to each other as the face smiles.
Next,the scientists had their program evaluate(评估)two sets of video clips. In one subjects performed posed smiles. In the other, they watched a film that inspired genuine displays of emotion. The program calculated the differences among the subjects’ faces during the two clips. And it turns out that one's mouth, cheeks and eyes move differently when pretending to smile.
In particular, the muscles around the eyes shift 10 percent more for a real smile than they do for a fake one. These results are in the journal Advanced Engineering Informatics. "A genuine smile is indeed in the eyes. The computer aids analysis of the exact weight distribution of human smiles across the face.” Hassan Ugail and Ahmad Al-dahoud say.
The researchers suggest their work could improve a computer's ability to analyze facial expressions and thus to interact more smoothly with humans. But their real accomplishment is in proving Tyra Banks right: "You have to smile with your eyes."
1.What's the purpose of the program?
A.To tell different smiles. B.To detect human heads.
C.To examine human faces. D.To record facial expressions.
2.What did the researchers do in the program?
A.They performed posed smiles. B.They analyzed different video clips.
C.They improved a computer's ability. D.They evaluated a very special software.
3.What result have the researchers found from the program?
A.Smiling with eyes is the most important.
B.Eyes reflect whether a smile is real or not.
C.Mouth,cheeks and eyes always move the same.
D.Muscles move more frequently when people do a faking smile,
4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Entertainment. B.Health.
C.Inventions. D.Science.
