Q: Autistic   children may learn better from robots than from human beings, according to a study at a school in Birmingham. Two robots like humans, Max and Ben, have been helping teach autistic children at Sutcliffe Primary School since March last year. The school is the first in the UK to try the new way. Ian Lowe, the head teacher, said, "The robots have no feelings, so autistic children find that they are less terrible than their teachers." He added, "They are really cute-looking. Autistic children are hard to communicate with adults and other children, but for some reasons they like these robots. "Some children are not able to communicate with others. But they come into school and start to communicate through the robots." The robots are knee-high and move like children. The school is using them to teach phonics   and play cards or memory and imitation   games with children from five to ten. Dr Guldberg said, "We do many different activities with the robots acting as a model   for the children's behavior. It is amazing to see how interested and concentrated the children can be when they are working with the robots. It can be very difficult to get autistic children to concentrate." He added, "If you can meet the needs of autistic children, you can meet the needs of all children. And you know, when people feel safe and interested, they learn much better." According to Ian Lowe, teachers are  _  in autistic children's eyes. A) kind B) serious C) terrible D) strict
A: C


Q: Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn't grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop. So he went up and asked, "How much each kilo?"and the shop keeper said, "Two rupees . "Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it:oh, my god!His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red.

"But the silly man said, "No, I can't stop!I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them up. It's my money!" And you think that man was silly, right?We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it's been a long time, hard experience tells us it won't work, and we know there's no more hope, we still continue just because we've put money, time, effort and love in to it.
