阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
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, 1. now I am faced with a tough competition.
To be fair, Amy does 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, never9. (know)when to 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.

Top Tips for the Flu Season
It’s coming. I can feel it in the air. On the subway every time someone coughs, I look up to see if I can move a little further. As I exit the train, I immediately reach for hand wash to remove any of the dirt on my hands. 1.
If you are young and healthy, it’s most likely that you will just feel uncomfortable for a week or two, miss some work or study. If you are elderly, have medical problems, or are a young child, you may not be so lucky. 2. Depending on the year, between 3,000 and 49,000 people die.
The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated (接种疫苗). 3. However, it still offers considerable protection. In adults , the vaccine is 59 percent protective on average. For children the story is better. Clearly, we need better vaccines but it’s still a really good idea to get vaccinated.
Can the flu shot give you the flu? You may have an arm pain or a little fever, but the injection does not contain a live virus and cannot give you the flu.
4. It isn’t clear how long protection lasts and if the vaccine protects against different flus for only one year.
Finally, here is some advice for what to do if you get the flu.
• 5.
• Stay at home until your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours. That will reduce the number of people you give this to.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes.
• Keep your hands clean. Use soap and water or hand wash frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing.
• Drink plenty of water.
Best wishes for a happy flu season!
A.Flu season is here, and I take it seriously.
B.If you got the flu shot last year, do you need it this year?
C.Each year more than 200,000 people are staying in hospital due to the illness.

E.Flu symptoms usually come on suddenly and frequently and include high fever, cough, sore throat and body aches.
F.Oftentimes doctors’ offices have special rooms set up in the fall just for giving flu shots, so its fast , easy and effective.
G.You may have heard about a new study on flu vaccines, and it found that the flu vaccine didn’t work as well as we thought or would like.
The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finallyuncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.
