Americans feel that the firs
9、t rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at 6: 30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she
10、 asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come. As guests continue to arrive, the men in the
11、 group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older. When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is cus
12、tomary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them. Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outsi
13、de. Or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed, each quest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate. 16

18、d on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe. 2 Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more sk
19、illed work like welding (焊接 ), spray-painting and assembling components. 3 In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more
20、experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively. 4 It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job. 5 It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an e
21、normous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan. 6 The reliability of robots is measured in their M.T.B.F.or mean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 1
22、8 hours a day for two years). One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample. 7 The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase qual
23、ity control. Once programmed, the robots can work more accurately and consistently than humans, who can get tired and bored. 23 A Ongoing Research B Extension of Use C Robot Heroes D Greater Reliability E Falling Demand F Hidden Danger 23 Paragraph 2 _. 24 Paragraph 3 _. 25 Paragraph 5 _. 26 Paragra

26、tsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory.

There are usually two doors, one as an entrance and the other a
36、s an exit. The rest of the side facing the street is largely of plate glass, with goods or advertising, material displayed. The other three walls are normally decorated in light colours, giving an impression of cleanliness (清结 ) and brightness. Most supermarkets are on one floor only, goods being st
37、ored in rooms at the back or upstairs. At right-angles to the window stretch long structures about six feet high with a number of shelves on each side. Similar shelf units or frozen food containers extend round the walls. Broad aisles between the shelf units and ample (足够的 ) space between them and t
38、he window and also the far wall allow room for the circulation of many people. Individual commodities (商品 ), in tins, bags, boxes or other containers, are stacked (堆放 ) in groups on the shelves, and each group is labelled with a price ticket. Metal baskets near the entrance are taken by the shoppers
39、 who collect in the, m the goods they select from the shelves. Between the shelf units and the window in one half of the shops are a number of small counters about three feet high. Beside each sits a cashier (现金出纳员 ), who operates a machine for totalling the cost of each customers purchases. The cus
40、tomer places the basket at one end of the counter so that it can be emptied by the cashier who records the price of the commodities one by one, before putting each on a moving section of the counter top.

45、, it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea-water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% - the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other s
46、ources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs (冰山 ) and glaciers (冰川 ). Even worse, some of it has been polluted. At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take ste
47、ps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have
48、already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. Today, in most large cities, water is used only, once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying (净化 ) plant. There it can be filtered (过滤
49、) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as if it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? To the oceans! All wed have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is - remove the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the world. So if we take all these steps, well be in no danger of drying up! 41 The phrase “the world“ in the first line of the passage refers to （ A） man.
