• 2．"I have cancer．" Mom said and held me in a tight hug．I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed．
     For all of my twenty-four years，my mom had been supportive．Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me．Now I knew it would have to flow the other way．
     Mom didn't stay down for long．After the shock of breast-cancer，she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors．She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications（藥物）with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school．"The not-knowing is the worst．" she said．
     The operation was successful．The chemo（化療）was the harder part．I went with Mom to every chemo treatment．She rarely complained，though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one．She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills，even though she never wore nail polish．"Cancer can take my hair，my nails，my health，my very life．But it can't take my smile．" Mom said．
     Mom learned to share her fears with me，and it formed an even deeper bond between us．Yet I am certain there were fears she didn't share because she was still protecting me-worries she only shared with Dad．Even in the darkest hours，she would just joke about the cancer．Mom always said，"When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it，you take away some of its power．"
     Mom was one of the lucky ones．She did beat her cancer，though not without scars．From her，I've learned I may not get to choose what I face，but I do get to choose how I face it．

• 3．A robot created by Washington State University（WSU）scientists could help elderly people with dementia（癡呆） and other limitations live independently in their own homes.
     The Robot Activity Support System，or RAS，uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are，what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activjye.aiies.It navigates（定位）through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own，provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.
     "RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment，as the need for help is detected，" said Bryan Minor，a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
     Currently，an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly ＄2 trillion.With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050，researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.
     RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment.They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.
     "While we are still in an early stage of development，our initial results with RAS have been promising，" Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts，video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."
  
  （1）How does RAS serve elderly people？

  
  A．Through sensors.
  B．Through objects.
  C．Through a mobile robot.
  D．Through their daily activities.
  （2）What can we know about RAS？

  
  A．It is the first robot used in daily life.
  B．Its function remains to be tested.
  C．It can locate people and do any task.
  D．It can cook for owners on its own.
  （3）What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Negative.
  C．Optimistic.
  D．Uncertain.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Elderly people leave the nursing home.
  B．Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.
  C．RAS，the first robot to make home smart.
  D．Older adults have benefited from RAS.

• 4．What kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life？Will you be spending your free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first people to try the next popular extreme activity？Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.
     Although there are exceptions，researchers have found that in most cases men are less cautious than wojye.ai.Men often try to impress women by proving that they are courageous and fearless，and they are more likely to take risks when women are watching them or when they are competing against other men.
     Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and avoid taking unnecessary risks.In addition，when people are in stable relationships，they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.
     Some people seem to be more daring than others，but there are many different types of risks and some people take one type of risk，but not another.Psychologists have identified a number of categories of risk.These include financial risks，risks related to health and safety，amusing risks and social risks.Psychologists discover that some people will take risks in one area，but not in another.Just if a person enjoys bungee （蹦極） jumping，it doesn't mean he or she will take chances when investing（投資） money or that he will tell a joke to a group of strangers.
     Interestingly，research shows that women take more social risks than men.They are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.
     Yet，at the end of the day，the likelihood of particular people taking a risk depends on their personalities.In general，optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes of their actijye.ais.On the other hand，those with opposite personality are much more likely to avoid taking a chance.
  
  （1）Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the research？

  
  A．To attract people's attention.
  B．To take on more responsibility.
  C．To make favorable impressions on people.
  D．To develop stable relationships with others.
  （2）What does the example of bungee jumping indicate？

  
  A．People take one type of risk but not another.
  B．There is more than one type of risk.
  C．Bungee jumping is dangerous but popular.
  D．Some people are more courageous than others.
  （3）What have researchers discovered about women？

  
  A．They are willing to take social risks.
  B．They are always changing Jobs.
  C．They are good at doing business.
  D．They are usually more conservative than men.
  （4）What mainly determine whether people take risks possibly？

  
  A．Their personalities.
  B．Their financial conditions.
  C．Their social relationships.
  D．Their expectations of outcomes.
