試題詳情
In the Republic of Korea，many schools hire（雇） English teachers from abroad，but as you know，there are not so many native English teachers there.A team of engineers have created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.
Robots will save schools money.The cost of building a robot and hiring 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 the Republic of 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 the 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 an English teacher in the Philippines（菲律賓）.There is a camera in each of the robot 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 some day all schools in the Republic of Korea will have a robot in the classroom.

1．Most of your textbooks are single use.After graduating，old text books are thrown away，which is a big waste of money and paper.
Many countries already reuse their textbooks.In the US，book companies will come to schools and buy used books.They then resell them to new students the following year at a lower price.A high school textbook in the US can have up to eight owners before it is no longer in a good enough condition to be used，according to Xinhua.The book can then be recycled.
In China，according to the National Press and Publication Administration，students across the country buy 2.8 billion new textbooks every year.If the students of the following year could reuse these textbooks，it would save over 20 billion yuan each year.That's enough money to build 40，000 primary schools，China Daily noted.
Primary and junior high school students in several Chinese cities are reusing music，arts，science and IT textbooks.That's because students don't have to take down many notes in their textbooks for these subjects，which makes them suitable for reusing.
However，these books only account for a tiny part of the total number of textbooks.As there is no good way for redistributing" second-hand textbooks，most textbooks still end up as waste，the Paper reported.
Changes in curricula also make it hard to reuse textbooks. "I'm among the first group of students to take classes after the recent curricular reform，so I have to buy new textbooks that previous students didn't use，" Sun Run，a high school student from Hangzhou.
