   A start-up company in California, called Zume, is testing machines that make pizza. The robot takes and shapes dough to create the base of the pizza. It then adds tomato sauce, cheese, meat or other toppings. Next, the robot places the uncooked pizza into a hot oven. A few minutes later, the pizza is ready. The pizza comes out the same each time. Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick. The robots do not get paid either.

Julia Collins is the company’s founder and chief executive officer (CEO) . Her business can spend money on better food products because it does not have to pay the robots. Zume is using robots to make pizza.

Charity Suzuki has bought the robot-made pizza. She likes its taste. “It’s delicious. It’s always hot and fresh when it comes. I mean it’s great that they’re making it, but I can’t tell the difference that it’s made by a robot versus a human.”

Other companies say they are developing robots so people can get higher quality food faster. But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans?

Ken Goldberg is a professor at the University of California in Berkeley. He also directs the school’s automation laboratory. Goldberg says researchers have been working with robots for 50 years. He says that, while there has been progress, the jobs are not going to disappear right away. “I want to reassure (使放心) restaurant workers that the skills that they have are still going to be of value,” Goldberg said.

“We’re going to get rid of boring, repetitive, dangerous jobs and we’re going to free up people to do things that have higher value. There’s going to be amazing new ways of working that don’t exist yet but are going to be created.”

   A new tool of communication called the "drift diary" is doing the rounds among young college graduates.

The "drift diary", like those ancient paper messages put into a bottle left to drift on the high seas to reach hundreds of miles away, connects lonely hearts. It was first started by a Beijing woman, who goes by the screen name Little S, in 2007.It has become the preferred tool of communication among youngsters afraid to reveal their innermost self to peers, but wanting to share their lives with others. The way it works is that the initiator（发起人）of the diary mentions it on popular Internet forums such as Tianya and Douban. Those wanting to react or otherwise add to the diary then send their real names and addresses to the initiator via e-mails or text messages.

The numbers in one group are usually restricted to between 30 and 50. The diary then is passed on to another by the express delivery or personal handover. The diary writers are mostly anonymous（匿名的）but if they wish to reveal their identity they can do so by posting their contact information at the end of their postings.

The diary writers not just add words but also decorate the plain notebooks with cartoons, drawings or even dress it up with a ribbon or a new cover. Interesting experiences, travel journals, the simple joys of everyday living or sweet recollections of childhood, all find a place in these diaries. Most often, though, the writers set down their frustrations and predicaments.

It usually takes one year for a diary to return to the initiator. The last recorder is the luckiest one, with access to all previous entries, while others can request photocopies of them from the diary's initiator.

【小题1】Why is the "drift diary" popular among youngsters?

A．Because they hate using the Internet.

B．Because they like to show themselves to peers.

C．Because they want to share their lives with strangers.

D．Because they find it fashionable to be a diary writer.

【小题2】Which one shows the correct way a drift diary works?
①The diary then is passed on between the recorders.
②The diary returns to the initiator.
③The initiator of the diary makes a mention online.
④Participants request photocopies of the diary from the diary's initiator.
⑤Those who want to participate in the program get in touch with the initiator.

A．③⑤①④②	B．③⑤①②④
C．④⑤①②③	D．①③⑤②④.

【小题3】What does the underlined word "predicaments" in the last but one paragraph probably mean?

A．Successful experiences.	B．Sense of achievement.
C．Difficult situations.	D．Favorable conditions.

【小题4】Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

A．Drift Diary——A New Tool of Communication

B．How a Drift Diary Works

C．Share Your Lives with Strangers

D．The Diary Passed on

In winter, gloves can prevent our hands from getting cold, 【小题1】 (especial) for people who ride bikes. Here is a new kind of gloves. The gloves are known 【小题2】 Talk to the Hand.

They come with a speaker into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger 【小题3】 can be connected to any mobile phone using Bluetooth. Mobile phone 【小题4】 (use) will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets 【小题5】 handbags.

Sean Miles combines (使结合) gloves with some parts of mobile phones, which are recycled through 02. He 【小题6】 (design) two pairs of the new gloves — one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear on a show and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If 【小题7】 (many) people want to own them, they will then be produced more in the near future.

It is said that the number of unused mobile phones in the UK is about 70 million. Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, asks people 【小题8】 (recycle) their phones. Mr. Miles hopes his work will make people consider recycling, 【小题9】 (say), “If a few more people pay attention to recycling rather than send them to dustbins, I think this project will have reached 【小题10】 (it) purpose.”
