24、Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled（贴标签）each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.

The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize（认 出）certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.

However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames（昵称）more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.

This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.

Earlier studies have shown that gender（性别）and race（种族）stereotypes（刻板印象）can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.

B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.

C．A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.

D．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.

【2】Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.

A．their different cultures

B．a self-fulfilling prophecy

C．racial stereotypes

D．their living environment

【3】According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.

A．wear glasses

B．have big eyes

C．look beautiful

D．have round faces

【4】What do we know from this research?

A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.

B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,

C．The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.

D．People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

26、 Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.

In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?

The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.

In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.

These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste； and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.

But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?

【1】In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?

A. Smiling at people, saying “hello”.

B. Sending food or opening doors by himself

C. Fighting, climbing or running fast

D. Collecting waste for patients

【2】What makes Saya look real?

A. Her face and rich expressions B. Her clothes and shoes

C. Her walking and running speed   D. Her rich knowledge

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Robots have come a long way since 1986.

B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda.

C. Saya looks like a small astronaut.

D. If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.

【4】The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.

A. nurses would have more free time with patients

B. robots would not take the place of humans

C. dirty and clean work is always done by the same person

D.mini-robots are useful for controlling infection
