It was my first day back home since starting college. A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult: I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I’d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.
He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer ? Well I guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’ Bar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”
I had only some vague(模糊的) memories of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family. We didn’t talk about him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.
“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said sadly. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition he returned home.
My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors’ Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.
“What ruined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. ‘So’, Tom warned me, ‘beware of your first drink!’
“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”
Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But I understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I’m not thirsty any more, Dad. Let’s go home.”
1.Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?
A. Because he was thirsty.
B. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.
C. Because he wanted to impress his father casually.
D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom.
2.What does the young man mean by referring to Uncle Tom as “the black sheep of the family”?
A. The family was concerned about Tom because he was always in trouble.
B. The family showed sympathy to Tom because he was unfortunate.
C. The family felt ashamed of Tom because he was a failure.
D. The family felt disgusted about him because he was different.
3.What was the main source of Uncle Tom’s problems?
A. His overly-strict family.
B. His addiction to card games.
C. The deaths of his mother and wife.
D. His inability to control his drinking.
4.In the story, the father told his son about Tom in order to ________.
A. entertain the son while they walked to the bar
B. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking
C. recall an interesting period in the father’s life
D. warn the son to keep away from Tom

Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white dress，but not the wedding conductor，because she was fixed on her chair.
The wedding was led by “I?Fairy”，a 1.5?meter tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic hair. Sunday's wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot，according to manufacturer，Kokoro Co.
“Please lift the bride's veil (面纱)，” the robot said in a tinny voice，waving its arms in the air as the newly?married couple kissed in front of about 50 guests.
The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo，where the I?Fairy wore flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away，where a man clicked commands into a computer.
Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world，with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard，but recently Japanese companies have been making a push to inject robots into everyday life.
Honda makes a walking child?shaped robot，and other firms have developed robots to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro，whose corporate goal is to “touch the hearts of the people”，also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike Android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a sub?company of Sanrio Co.，which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.
“This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese people have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this，but people mainly want robots near them to serve some purpose，” said the bride，Satoko Inoue,36，who works at Kokoro.
The I?Fairy sells for about 6.3 million yen ($68,000) and three are in use in Singapore，the US and Japan，according to company spokeswoman，Kayako Kido.
