26、lmet and a pair of black sunglasses. Hu Huaijiang stood in front of the robot greeter with his 8-year-old daughter for over half an hour. “Anne is amazing, ” Hu told the Shenzhen Daily. “Her useful functions as a robot, as well as her attractive appearance and nice shape as a greeter, have made her
27、one of the most interesting items at the fair, and thats why my girl likes it so much.“ Such a robot was able to arouse childrens deep interest and encourage their curiosity, Hu said, adding that the fair was a successful one, because items such as robots can interact with fair visitors. “Anne has t
28、hree major functions that the lab spent eight months to design, including giving directions and explanations, speaking with head, arm and waist gestures, as well as wifi ( 无 线局域网 ) function,“ Fan Ruifeng, a professor at the laboratory, explained to the Shenzhen Daily. “There are six ultrasonic detec
29、tors (超声探测器 ) inside her and they prevent her from falling downstairs. She can listen and talk to anyone, but not with a noisy background,“ Fan said.

C It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who
34、is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. they may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的 ) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet. I have learnt from my experience tha
35、t those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. this means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合 ) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. remember, knowledge is power, and
36、a shy introvert (性格内向 的 人 ) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a
37、 lot, usually about themselves. What does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be? They may only need one more thingto push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the
38、 knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field. （）36. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us? A. A person who is quiet may not be shy. B. A shy person may not be a calm one. C. Quiet people are usually doubtful. D. Shyness is som

41、. Business. D Stress is a major part of life. Contrary ( 相反的) to popular belief, stress can actually come from almost every situation whether they bring excitement, happiness, sadness or anxiety. On the other hand, many simple ways can be used to reduce the danger of stress. The effect of stress on
42、the body depends on its intensity ( 强 度 ). In small quantities, stress can be a source of productivity and motivation. However, too much of it could result in depression, heart disease and infection. It is also said to be one of the causes of overeating. The fast-paced world is filled with the press
43、ures of work and the demands of living increase stress. In recent years as people are made to believe that using spa services is the only effective way to reduce stress, the spa (温泉) businesses have been a booming ( 兴旺的) industry. However, here are some simple ways in which you could deal with stres
44、s without much cost. Talk about what causes the stress. Talking about problems and sources of anxiety is a great way to release the burden of having to deal with a stressful day. It not only removes stress, but it improves your social life and keeps you in touch with friend and family. Keep a journa
45、l and write about your feelings. There are some people who might not be that comfortable sharing their emotions with others no matter how close they are to that person. When this is the case, journal writing is the way to go. Laugh at short funny jokes. Studies show that 40% of the people who have h
46、eart disease are less likely to laugh. Funny as it may seem, laughter is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to relieve stress. Joking around with friends and watching funny films or TV shows are cheap and fun ways to reduce stress. Stress may be part of everyday living, but that doesnt necessarily
