【題目】 In South Korea, many schools hire English teachers from abroad, but as you know, there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea. A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.

Robots will save money for schools. The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around＄20,000 a year. That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea.What's more,robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English.

The robot teacher is called Engkey. She is about one meter tall and is white, egg-shaped. She takes a screen as her face. She can move around her classroom while speaking to students, reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms.So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels. But Engkey’s voice is not her own. It is controlled by English teachers.With the help of the camera, English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students.

Engkey’s creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now. But they hope that someday all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom.

【題目】 The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here's how to mind your manners at the dinner table:

First things first:

Mind the little details. Respond to invitations in time; it's always better to be overdressed; be fashionably on time; bring a gift for your host or hostess; and remember to silence your phone and keep it out of sight.

After you sit down:

The first thing you should do is place your napkin（餐巾）in your lap. Leave it there until the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common practice is to place it on your seat until you return. If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could make the seat or your clothes dirty when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead.

To locate your bread plate and drink:

When in doubt, look to your hands. With your palms（手掌）facing each other, connect the tip of each pointer finger（食指）with your thumbs(拇指）. You'll see that your left hand will form a "b", and your right hand, a "d". These stand for "bread" and "drink", which you will find to your left and to your right, separately.

What to do with utensils（餐具）：

Your safest bet is to start from the outside-the utensils farthest from your plate-and move inward as the meal progresses. However, dessert（甜點(diǎn)）utensils may also be found above your plate.

Resting utensils:

If you are taking a break from eating, imagine your plate is a clock and place your knife and fork down at the 3 o'clock position. You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.

After the party:

Don't forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event.

【1】When attending a dinner at someone's home, you are advised to ________.

A.prepare a gift for the person who is hosting it

B.avoid being overly dressed up

C.thank the host or hostess for the invitation

D.turn your mobile phone off at the dinner table

【2】Where should you place your napkin when you get up from the table?

A.Under your plate.B.On your plate.

C.To the left of the plate.D.Over the back of your chair.

【3】What is normally put to your right side on the table?

A.Dessert utensils.B.Bread plate.C.Napkin.D.Drink.

【4】To show you have finished eating, you can place your utensils in the ________ position.

A.1 o'clockB.3 o'clockC.4 o'clockD.9 o'clock

【題目】 Suppose you're in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.

In seconds after you've clicked "send", you realize it in horrors and burn with shame.

Here are four common email accidents, and how to make it right.

Clicking "send" too soon

Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as quickly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version（版本）

Writing the wrong name

The sooner you notice, the better. Act quickly and briefly, saying sorry for your mistake. Don't take it too lightly, as you may offend（冒犯）people, especially if your mistake suggests a misunderstanding of their culture（i. e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).

Clicking "reply all" by accident

You accidentally let the whole company know what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you'd like to take. In this instance, the best way is to send a quick, light—hearted apology（道歉）. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this case, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.

Sending an offensive message to its subject

The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger（憤怒）. You write an unkind message about someone, planning to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations（沮喪）calmly and smartly—see it as a chance to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.

【1】If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.

A.say sorry in a serious mannerB.tell the receiver to forget it

C.learn to write the name correctlyD.send a short notice to everyone

【2】What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email?

A.Try offering other choices.B.Avoid further discussion.

C.Meet other staff members.D.Make a light—hearted apology.

【3】How should you solve the problem caused by an offensive email?

A.By promising not to offend the receiver again.

B.By turning to the receiver's friends for support.

C.By asking the receiver to control his anger.

D.By talking to the receiver face to face.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Describing email mistakes.B.Reducing email mistakes.

C.Dealing with email accidents.D.Improving email writing.
