22、   A cafe in Japan is using robot waiter controlled (控制) from home by the disabled.

The robots, about as tall as a seven-year-old child, send out sound and video over the Internet, allowing the disabled to control them with computers.

Engineers behind the project said that they hope to provide jobs for people who have difficulty in moving their bodies.

If it is successful, there will be a permanent (永久的) cafe before the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

"Everyone should have the freedom to work in the way they like," said Masatane Muto, an ALS patient and one of the leaders of the project. "I want to send out the message toward 2020 that you can show your friendly behaviour even if you have disabilities."

The cafe in Tokyo will open on weekends from November 26 to December 7.

They have also been used in classrooms by students who cannot go to school because of illness or other reasons.

"I want to create a world in which people who can't move their bodies can work too," said Kentaro Yoshifuji, the CEO of Ory Lab, the developer of the robots.

Yoshifuji had some illness as a child that left him socially isolated. He had to stay away from others. This experience drove him to study robotics at Tokyo's Waseda University in the hopes of connecting (联系) people through robots.

23、We know that disabled people are seldom shown in advertisement on television. If they really are, it is usually to make people feel sad for them. It is important to find out what would be the most helpful to the other person, instead of supposing that you know. This may take time. Some people become impatient. Others may be too selfish to make the effort. Remember that disabled people may do things in a different way from you. All it needs is a little thought. Whether disabled or not, we can all learn from each other. Disabled people necessarily make themselves brave. They probably feel that they have to adapt to（适应）their situation（处境）. They have learnt not to give up, but to keep on trying. Life isn’t always fair. Sometimes we have to deal with difficult situations. Having to face a challenge can often help us to have a better understanding of ourselves and of other people.

It is not helped to treat disabled people as if they all have the same feelings and needs. And it’s important for us to know what kind of help the disabled person would welcome.

Some people often think disabled people are poor and have mercy（怜悯）on them. In face this can be offensive because it may be unkind and hurt.

24、   Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.

A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Second, doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Third, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change—it takes a long time to make a difference.

Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten—digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630.This method is much more effective. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.

However, memory skills will hardly work if you don't understand the information. What's more, only a regular (有规律的) review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.

Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.

【1】How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five

【2】Which of the following examples is the use of the skill "organization"?

A.Remembering the word "yellow" by putting it into the group of "color".

B.Remembering the meaning of the word "red" by connecting it with fire.

C.Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.

D.Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 8571

【3】According to the passage, why should students go over what they have learnt?

A.To use it better every day B.To understand it in a better way

C.To improve memory skills D.To remember it for a longer time

【4】Which of the following maybe the best title of the passage?

A.Does Good Memory Help You Succeed.

B.A Healthy Lifestyle, A good Memory.

C.Memory Needs Skillful Training.

D.A Healthy Lifestyle with Memory Skills, You Get a good memory.
