• After a few comfortable weeks, however, things started to go wrong. The robot caught a virus and no longer worked properly. It began to make stupid mistakes. Sometimes it woke Mr Jiang up at four o'clock in the morning. When Mr Jiang got home, he would find his flat in a complete mess: food was laid on the bed; milk was stored in the rubbish bin; coins, bills and his private papers were spread all over the floor. Moreover, the robot moved too fast on its wheels and often knocked things over. Mr Jiang did not know what to do with it.

  然而，几周舒适的生活之后，情况开始不对了。这个机器人感染上了一种病毒，不再正常工作了。它开始犯些愚蠢的错误。有时，它会在凌晨四点就叫醒江先生。当江先生回到家时，他会发现家里乱作一团：食物放在床上，牛奶储存在垃圾桶里，硬币、账单和他的私人文件撒得满地都是。而且，机器人下面装着轮子移动得太快了，经常会撞倒东西。江先生不知道该拿它怎么办。

• In the end, Mr Jiang decided to return the robot to the robot shop. Robots can help people a lot, but they can also be too much trouble!

  最后，江先生决定把这个机器人还给机器人商店。机器人可以帮人们很多忙，但是它们也可能会惹太多麻烦！

• Dear Sir/Madam, Robot model number HUG0123BB Two weeks ago. I bought a robot from your shop. However. I am not satisfied with it at all. First of all. I am unhappy with its batteries. They last for one week at most, so I have to change them often. I think they should last for at least 2 months. I think a robot should work 24 hours a day, and I want my robot to help me with homework. However, this robot is very lazy. I need to give it instructions all the time. Otherwise, I need to do everything myself. The quality of this robot is not up to standard either. A good robot should only need checking every 6 months. My robot has already stopped working completely. I do not know what is wrong with it. I regret having bought a robot like this. I would like to get my money back. Yours faithfully, Daniel Chen

  亲爱的先生/女士， 机器人型号HUG0123BB 两周前，我从你们商店买了一个机器人。但是，我对它一点都不满意。 首先，我对它的电池很不满意。它们最多只可以用一周，所以我不得不经常更换它们。我认为它们至少应该能用2个月。 我认为机器人应该一天工作24个小时，我还想让我的机器人帮我做家庭作业。但是，这个机器人很懒。我需要一直给它下达指令。否则，我就需要自己做每件事情。 这个机器人的质量也不合格。一个好的机器人应该只需要每六个月检查一次。我的机器人已经完全停止运转了。我不知道它出了什么问题。 我后悔买了这样的一个机器人。我想要回我的钱。 你忠实的， 丹尼尔·陈

• Moving to Mars

  搬到火星上去

• Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted because of the rapid increase in population. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like.

  有些人认为，到2100年人类可能会住在火星上。由于人口的迅速增长，我们自己的星球，即地球，正变得越来越拥挤，污染也越来越严重。人们有望能够在火星上重新开始，建设一个更好的世界。这里描述的是火星上的生活可能是什么样子。

• At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill.

  目前，我们的宇宙飞船太慢了，无法运送大批的乘客去火星——因为要花几个月的时间。随着技术的发展，到2100年，乘坐以光速飞行的宇宙飞船，行程或许只要大约20分钟！然而，宇宙飞船将会行驶的如此之快，以至于前往火星的旅程可能会使人相当难受。许多人将会感到不适。

• Humans cannot survive without water, oxygen or food. So far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or oxygen on Mars for people there. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills and would not be so tasty. Gravity could be another problem. The gravity on Mars is only about three-eighths of that on the Earth. People would have to wear boots that are specially designed to prevent themselves from floating off into space.

  没有水、氧气和食物，人类将无法生存。到目前为止，没有人知道火星那里是否会有足够的水或氧气供人们使用。而且，科学家们并不确定植物是否能在火星上生长。食物很大可能会以药片的形式存在，而且味道没那么可口。另一个问题可能就是重力了。火星上的重力大约只有地球上的八分之三。人们将不得不穿那种经过专门设计的靴子，以避免自己漂浮至太空。

• I often speak English well in class, but I still need to practise more.

  我在课堂上英语说得往往都很好，但是我还需要多加练习。

• I need to work harder to learn new words and grammar rules. I plan to copy the new words in my notebook and read them every morning. I plan to remember five new words every day. Grammar rules are difficult, so I will keep an English diary and try to use the new grammar rules I have learnt. I plan to watch English TV programmes every weekend in order to improve my listening skills.

  我需要更加努力去学习新单词和语法规则。我打算将那些新单词抄在笔记本里，然后每天早上读一读它们。我打算每天记五个新单词。语法规则很难，所以我要记英语日记，并且尽量使用我学过的新语法规则。为了提高我的听力技能，我打算每个周末都观看英语电视节目。

• Now complete the self-assessment form in Part A yourself. Then write your own plan for studying English.

  现在，自己完成一下A部分的那份自我评估表。然后写一写你自己的英语学习计划。
