The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the babys hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred（扫兴）. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mothers arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession（连续）of heartbreaks.He blurted out(脱口而出) the tragedy. A boy, a big boy called me a freak（怪物）.He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.But you might get along with other young people, his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.The boys father talked with the family physician. Could nothing be done?I believe I could graft(移植) on a pair of outer ears, if they are available, the doctor replied and wondered if there is such a person as would make such a sacrifice for a young man.Two years went by.

This is thanks to a little Japanese woman in a pink sweater, named Simroid. With a limited vocabulary, Simroid, the 160cm-tall robot is happy to feel your pain. Simroid is designed to be used at medical colleges. She has realistic looking skin, eyes, and a mouth fitted with replica (仿制) teeth. Her chest also rises and falls as if she is breathing. Simroid releases a clear ouch! whenever a trainee dentist presses her teeth too hard with a tool. And she gives a reassuring (安慰的) thats better when the drill hits the right place. We want to use the robots to train dentists to worry about whether patients are comfortable, and not just focus on medical techniques, said Naotake Shubui, a professor at Nippon Dental University in Japan who helped develop Simroid. The robot was one of hundreds of cutting-edge devices (尖端设备) on display at the worlds biggest robot exhibition last week in Japan. As scientists improve the design of robots, they could soon be serving tea to office workers or directing shoppers. Todays robots look and act much like the humans who invented them. In Japan, robots can already be found working as home helps, office receptionists (接待员) and security guards, as well as on the factory floor. There were more than 370,000 industrial robots in use in Japan in 2005, according to a report by Macquarie bank, 40 percent of the world total, with 32 robots for every 1,000 workers. The economy ministry believes that the Japanese robot market will be worth more than $52 billion by 2025. Human work is being helped, and even replaced, by mechanical efficiency in almost every area, from golf-bag carriers to public toilet cleaners. But many scientists believe the age of the service robot is not far off. It will arrive once machines are capable of connecting with humans on an emotional level. Judging by the Tokyo exhibition, that process has already begun.60.

In fact, we dont have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closest to usthe ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now while your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the worlds happiness.Saying thanks not only brightens someone elses world, it brightens yours. If youre feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.Of course, there are times when you cant express gratitude immediately. In that case dont let embarrassment(尴尬) sink you into silencespeak up the first time you have the chance.Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish（教区）of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you. Would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that changes people all around usincluding ourselves. For no one ever misunderstands the melody(旋律) of a grateful(感激的) heart. Its message is universal; its lyrics（歌词） go beyond all earthly barriers; its music touches the heavens.64. The word “gratitude” in Paragraph One probably means _A. feelings B. pride C. thanks D. emotion65. What the author has learned about giving thanks is that _A. saying thanks immediately adds to the worlds happiness B. its not so easy to give thanksC. people usually give thanks while their feeling of appreciation is alive and sincereD. saying thanks brightens neither someone elses world nor ours.66. Minister Mark Brians experience tells us _A. the Indians have many words for thank youB. the Indians are rude.C. the Indians are exceptionally generous.D. the Indians are the same as people in other countries,67. We learn from the last paragraph that _A. “thanks” is merely a word used to show our gratitudeB. if we had no words for thank you, we would be more responsive, sensitive and caringC. music is universal which touches the heavensD. thankfulness changes us and people all around us.DWalter H.
