• 2．Ever since he was nine years old，Daniel Arundel has been helping his mother Elizabeth in the kitcjye.ain.He learnt to bake cakes and savouries（咸味小吃）at home.On Saturdays，he helped fill the rolls at the sandwich shop his mum ran.Now Daniel，who is only 19，has turned his enjoyment of making food into a successful business.
     "I've always loved making things for people to eat and I realized I wasn't too bad at it." says Daniel，who started selling his cakes while at secondary school."For two years every Sunday，I would sell cakes I had baked at home with Mum on a market stand."
     His plan to open a bakery in his hometown impressed his teachers and they encouraged him to submit his idea to a national competition for ambitious business people.Although he didn't win，Daniel was awarded an award of ￡1，000 to help his project.
     Arundel Bakery opened on an industrial site in Oldham surrounded by offices full of staff looking for somewhere for their lunch.So he opened a sandwich shop at the front of the Bakery.He now employs three staff，including his mum，who make food for various customers.And they also help the community later by making fresh hot meals for the elderly.
     Last year Daniel was runner-up in another competition to recognize entrepreneurial（創(chuàng)業(yè)的）talent.The competition was organized by the Edge Foundation，an education charity，which encourages career routes to young people who can't be admitted by a university.
     Daniel said，"I have been crazy in the past few years.I'm so busy and I don't have much of a social life at the moment.I want to expand our range of dairy-free cakes for those who have an allergy（過敏反應(yīng)）to food like me.I've put my heart and soul into my baking and getting where I am today.I know I'm still very young and I'm learning all the time.But I love what I'm doing and want to take every opportunity that comes to make my bakery a success."

• 3．Healthcare staff and bank clerks have been on the front line of the health and economic crises striking the UK，but behind the scenes，another group of workers robots have been toiling away and overcoming both emergencies with no fear of COVID-19.But will COVID-19 speed up the rise of robots？
     Robotic Process Automation（RPA）is software that robotizes repetitive back-office tasks.The National Health Service（NHS）has used it during the widespread disease to control demand and capacity planning in caring for all levels of patients day and night.Jason Kingdon，Blue Prism's new chief executive who is recovering from COVID-19，says，"Before RPA，these were manual processes.You had to train a number of staff to put them in place.Now，you only need to train a single robot to manage the administration." More than two fifths of bosses across 45 countries that responded to a survey by EY（Ernst &Young）said they were planning on accelerating spending on automation technology to prepare for a post-Covid world.
     COVID-19 has already left tens of millions unemployed，so firms won't be short of cheap labour on the other side of the crisis.But experts still think AI will be the more cautious choice for companies.One of them said，"It's important to remember that even in China，which has much lower wages，12.5 million manufacturing jobs have been cut over the past four years as more robots have been adopted."
     However，AI is overhyped（過分提倡）in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation.Again，we should think of history as a guide.A lot of workers riots（暴動）in the early 19th century happened during the continental blockade of the Napoleonic Wars when there was significant mess to trade in Britain.These things are not unrelated.
  
  （1）What does the underlined phrase "toiling away" in paragraph 1 mean？

  
  A．Working hard.
  B．Working lazily.
  C．Walking slowly.
  D．Walking toughly.
  （2）What do Jason Kingdon's words in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．He wishes to employ more human staff.
  B．He has refused to accept rabots' service.
  C．He prefers robots' working efficiency.
  D．He dislikes the survey by EY.
  （3）What's the author's attitude to robots？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Worried.
  C．Indifferent.
  D．Opposed.
  （4）Which is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Robots Have Taken the Place of Humans
  B．COVID-19 Has Terrible Effects on Our Life
  C．It's Time to Stop Robots from Taking the Place of Humans
  D．COVID-19 Speeds up the Trend of Robots Replacing Humans

      My father and I disagreed about my curfew（晚間在家的時間）.He would say I had to be in by 9：30 on weekdays，and 11：00 on weekends，and there was no exception.One day，I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew.I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid.He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction，it was really about people looking out for one another.
      The very next Friday after that exchange，my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game.On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
      To make sure we could move off the moment he came back，I got everything prepared.When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home，I understood that he was a little late.But then，nearly a whole hour passed.I was getting upset.We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn't he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late？ As I anxiously stepped the floor，another half hour passed.That was when I got really angry.How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However，when another half an hour passed，my anger turned to fear.What if something terrible had happened to my dad，like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident，or something else？ I began to get really worried，feeling like sitting on pins and needles.I had already called his cell phone about ten times，but there was no answer.
