    Rapid progress in artificial intelligence, also called AI, and the wide use of robots across different industries are causing the worry about the growth in joblessness. People have different opinions on this development, and they mainly have focused on what to do to make sure that robots don't steal jobs.

Bill Cates, for example, have called for taxing(对征税)robots that take away jobs. This has led to disagreement from other leading figures, such as Larry Summers, who thinks that robots are job creators and that it is totally wrong. Another idea is to use a basic income for all-the ides that everyone receives the lowest income-to pay for influence of technological unemployment. This idea also causes disagreement.

However, jobs are not created or lost because of a single technology, but because of the business system designed to make use of the power of the technology.

We have seen a similar example in history, with recorded music in the last century. It wasn't the 1930s recording technology itself that affected the jobs of the live musicians. It was its connection with radio broadcastingjukeboxes(自动唱机)and the way businesses operated that led to the job losses. Hotels, restaurants and bars replaced live musicians with jukeboxes. A single recording could be placed over and over without requiring the appearance of the musicians.

The early recording of music destroyed the jobs of some live musicians and made them earn less money than before. The social dissatisfaction was largely about monopoly power(垄断势力)and less about the technology itself.

Job creation or loss has to be considered with everything considered. This is the best explained by looking at the difference between recorded music in the last century and robots now.

1.What's people's main attention according to the first paragraph?

A.Artificial intelligence. B.The growing opportunities.

C.Not letting robots take away jobs. D.Stopping the wide use of robots.

2.What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The idea of taxing robots. B.The belief that robots steal jobs.

C.Rapid progress in artificial intelligence. D.Disagreement between leading figures.

3.What can we know about Larry Summers?

A.He agrees with Bill Gates' opinion. B.He thinks robots can create jobs.

C.He supports the idea of taxing robots. D.He praises using a basic income for all

4.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A.There will be more social dissatisfaction in the future.

B.Monopoly power is a terrible social phenomenon.

C.We should tell job creation or loss with full consideration.

D.Recorded music is completely different from robots.

    October 15th is Global Hand Washing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for hand washing with soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again. It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾), which is the second leading cause of children deaths. Do remember October 15th-Global Hand Washing Day!

1.What's the best title for this passage?

A.Say no to washing hands.

B.Hand washing: so important—it gets a day of its own.

C.Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.

D.Want to live a longer life?—wash your hands.

2.The underlined word "rinse" in Paragraph 3 probably means       .

A.to dry your hands B.to clean your fingers

3.The last paragraph mainly tells us       .

A.why washing hand with soap is so important

B.how to wash your hands correctly

C.the dangers of washing hands without soap

D.when we should especially wash our hands with soap

4.In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage?

    Sam Martin, 24, from Belfast

I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly. I certainly don't enjoy shopping. It doesn't matter when I shop-I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway. I just choose from whatever is there. I am never disappointed because I don't know what to buy for others before I get to the shop, and I don't care about getting it at the best price. My friends call me last-minute shopper.

Lucy Collins, 34, from Liverpool

I've always finished all my shopping by the middle of August. I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to. I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price. This year, I've spent £230 and saved £695 on the prices.

I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year. I also like knowing I've bought presents that people will enjoy, rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve.

Frankie Bircham, 31, from Hertfordshire

I've always finished shopping by the end of September. I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want-I don't like "Oh, that'll do". I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I' m getting the best possible deal. It's cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don't like when it arrives.

Andi Euridge, 40, from London

I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November. I don't like onlir shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels not arriving in time.

I live on a tight budget and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month's pay. So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.

1.We can learn from the text that Sam Martin       .

A.is an organized shopper B.always buys presents at a discount

C.hates shopping in a hurry D.enjoys doing some last-minute shopping

2.What do Lucy Collins and Frankie Bircham have in common?

A.They do shopping when the shops are quiet.

B.They choose presents everywhere.

C.They like online shopping

D.They care about the receivers' feelings.

3.Why does Andi Euridge dislike online shopping?

A.It causes anxiety when parcels don't arrive in time.

B.It's not much cheaper than shops.

C.Returning the goods troubles him.

D.It makes him run over budget.
