美国学生在学校怎么吃午餐？
Is lunch your _____ part of the
school day? The school lunches I ____ up with may
be
different from yours.
Just like in
China, schools in the US do _____ lunch for
students. But when I was a kid, it
was also
common for us to bring our own lunches to school.
Every day, parents had to think
about making a
___ (可口的) and _____ lunch for their children; kids
could forget their
lunch, or have a ____
(校园恶霸) steal it.
And that’s not all. Most
US schools, after a certain age, ____ kids to go
out for lunch. US
kids can also get a driver’s
_____ (驾照) when they turn 16. After my friends and
I turned
16, we would drive away from school
and find something to eat. A common place for us
to
eat was our town’s _____ (超市), where they
served fried chicken. After eating, we’d go to
the park for a walk before we had to go back
to class.
2 这只宠物狗有什么不一样？
Do you
want a pet, but ____ about taking care of it? Aibo
might be a good ____for you.
Aibo is a robot
(机器人) dog. It is made by Sony. It isn’t as
difficult to take care of as a ___
pet.
Aibo’s _____ intelligence (人工智能) makes it act
like a real dog. It can wag (摇摆) its tail,
shake your hand and play a ball. Aibo can move
its ears back and forth. It can also ___ (眨
眼)
its eyes. There are sensors (传感器) on Aibo’s head,
chin (下巴) and back. When you
____ it, it feels
______ (得到安慰的) like a real pet would. Aibo can
understand different
words, such as “sit”,
“stay”, and “come”.
Another ______ thing
about Aibo is that it can “learn”. The robot can
remember its daily
experiences. This helps it
build a database (数据库). The robot can “grow” and
change itself
according to this database. Over
time, Aibo can have its own personality (性格). This
makes
it more like a real pet.

Three different names for ancient China’s
people
为什么古人不只有“姓”“名”，还有“字”？
Why
did Chinese people have more than one name in
_____ times?
In ancient China, people’s names
had three parts: their ____ name, ____ name and
courtesy [ˈkɜ:təsi] name (字).
Take famous
poet Li Bai as an example. His family name was Li,
his given name was Bai,
and his courtesy name
was Taibai.
People used their _____ names when
they were among family members. But in social
life,
they called each other by their ______
names to show respect. This was mostly done
among people of similar age. If you were
talking about yourself, or if your elders were
talking about you, the given name would be
used instead of the courtesy name.
Men would
get their _____ name when they turned 20. It was a
symbol (标志) of adulthood
(成人). Women would get
their courtesy name after getting married.
One’s courtesy name often had something to do
with one’s given name. For example,
Mencius’
name was Meng Ke (孟轲). His courtesy name was Ziyu
(子舆). Both Ke and Ziyu
mean “carriage (马车)”.
Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means
“bright”. His
courtesy name was Kongming (孔明),
which means “very bright”.

这只宠物狗有什么不一样？
Do you want a pet, but worry about taking
care of it?
Aibo might be a good choice for
you. Aibo is a robot (
机
器人
) dog. It is
made by Sony. It isn’t as difficult to
take
care of as a real pet.
Aibo’s artificial
intelligence (
人工智能
) makes it act like
a real dog. It can wag (
摇摆
) its tail,
shake your hand
and play a ball. Aibo can move
its ears back and forth.
It can also blink
(
眨眼
) its eyes. There are sensors
(
传
感器
) on Aibo’s head, chin
(
下巴
) and back. When you
touch it, it
feels comforted (
得到安慰的
) like a real pet
would. Aibo can understand different words,
such as
“sit”, “stay”, and “come”.
Another interesting thing about Aibo is that
it can
“learn”. The robot can remember its
daily
experiences. This helps it build a
database (
数据库
).
The robot can “grow”
and change itself according to
this database.
Over time, Aibo can have its own
personality
(
性格
). This makes it more like a real
pet.
