A new walking, talking robot from Japan which has black hair and a woman’s face that can smile will attend a fashion show. It has trimmed down（减少）to 43kg, but it still hasn’t reached the safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models.

Developers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, a government-backed organization, said their “cybernetic（全自动控制的）human” wasn’t ready to help with daily housework or work side by side with people—as many hope robots will be able to do in the future.

“In technology, it hasn’t reached that level,” said Hirohisa Hirukawa, one of the robot’s developers. “Even as a fashion model, people in the industry told us she was short and had a rather ordinary figure.”

For now, the 158 cm tall black-haired robot named HRP-4C—whose predecessor（前任）had weighed 58 kg — will mainly serve to draw and entertain crowds. Developers said the robot may be used in amusement parks or to perform human movement, as an exercise instructor, for instance.

 HRP-4C was designed to look like an ordinary Japnese woman, although its silver-and-black body reminds people of a space suit. It will appear in a Tokyo fashion show — without any clothes — in a special part just for the robot next week.

The robotic framework（框架）for  HRP-4C, without the face and other coverings, will go on sale for about 20 million yen（日元） each. Its programming technology will be made public so other people can come up with fun moves for the robot, the scientists said.

Japan is one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth.

What do we know about HRP-4C’s predecessor?

A．It is shorter than HRP-4C .    B．It is cleverer than HRP-4C .

Which of the following about HRP-4C is TURE?

A．It wears a space suit.         

B．Its price is 20 million dollars.    

C．It can be used as an exercise instructor.       

D．As a fashion model, it has a perfect figure.

HRP-4C’s programming technology will be made public to        .

A．make money                       B．make new frameworks     

C．let other people improve it          D．help make new face and coverings

What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The purpose of making HRP-4C.    B．Robotics industry in Japan.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmare(梦魇).

   Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories.

   In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

   The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.

   Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

   “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of Psychiatry(精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.

“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(伦理学家).

57. The passage is mainly about_____.

A. a new medical invention            

B. a new research on the pill

C. a way of erasing painful memories    

D. an argument about the research on the pill

58. The drug tested on people can_____.

   A. cause the brain to fix memories

   B. stop people remembering bad experiences

   C. prevent body producing certain chemicals

   D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories

59. We can infer from the passage that_____.

   A. people doubt the effects of the pills

   B. the pill will stop people’s bad experiences

   C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s health

   D. the pill has been produced in America

60. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?

   A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives

   B. People want to get rid of bad memories.

   C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.

   D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.
