Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got up very late the next morning. James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock..

Many teenagersfeel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular（尤其是）

their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends,

Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication（交流）

is very important in children’s growing up because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who chooses your friends?

Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

五．任务型阅读（20） A

You are sitting at home doing your homework when your mom comes home early from her job at the factory. \"Is anything wrong?\" you ask her. I just lost my job to a robot, she says sadly.

Does this sound impossible? Already many thousands of robots are being used in factories all across the country. More are being put in every day. Many new factories are completely run by machines.

One result of increasing robots in factories is that more people lose their jobs in industrial areas. Factory workers in these are worried Even when Jobs are kept. Workers say that robots change the nature of the work. They say their jobs become much less interesting. Some people are not satisfied that now they only \"baby-sit\" for the new machines..

Other people think that robots will help both factory owners and the work force. Company spokespersons are quick to point out that robots often perform jobs that people would rather not do, for example, jobs that can be uninteresting or dangerous. The use of robots for ditty work can improve the working conditions for humans.

For factory work, robots are simply cheaper to operate and can do better jobs than humans.

Many factory owners think that they must either use robots or lose business to companies that do. Some industry experts feel that robots will offer many new jobs. After all, people will have to build and fix the machines. But other experts point out that although using robots may bring about more jobs in the long run, they certainly cause job losses in the short run.

61. Did the mother lose her job to a robot?

They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. 67 Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up very late.
