They went home and hunted through their own closets. The next day at school, they met Todd and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was anxious about being called out by the two boys. He wasn't smiling or anything. His reaction was perfectly understandable in the circumstances. "We are in the same grade, and I owe you an apology for laughing at you. I want to give something to you to compensate for it," Graham told him. He then handed a huge bag to Todd, inside which were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was moved, his eyes filling with tears. And what Todd got was not only clothes, but also friends. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with Garrett and Graham.

He made his first public speaking in Year 4 at a time when his confidence had been broken down by a bully（霸凌者）.He still gets scared thinking about it today because he had to go in front of the whole class and recite a poem that made no sense whatsoever.By Year 5, Kailash started to hone his skills with the help of his father so that he could run fbr school captain in Year 6, but he was very shy and he couldn'l speak very well. So he started to practise and practise. Thal's a good point fbr kids-they don't apply fbr leadership positions because they are nervous, even though they'd make great leaders.Kailash went on to score the role of vice-captain, despite his speech not going to plan. He made a joke but he made it so poorly that they laughed at him, not at the joke. But he said making mistakes is a key part of the public speaking learning. Things like that happen and it's OK. You have to have the confidence to be OK with that and the resilience（弹性）lo get back up.Kailash, who counts a 40（K）-strong Sydney Opera House crowd and a community-based TEDx event among his public speaking credits, said public speaking skills have huge benefits in day-to-day life, from interacting with teachers to going fbr a job interview. Public speaking teaches young people to be comfortable in themselves. So it teaches you about self-esteem, （o accept who you are. Making eye contact and smiling to connect with your audience are other key steps in pulling off public speaking, along with wearing something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.4.

The comfort and confidence suitable clothes bring.Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus （章鱼）.Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot“ could pave the way fbr more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration. 4tThc Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robotsn the study's authors wrote.Robots built fbr precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （till形）or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around humans, because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentiallydangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They're taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone （硅酮）body, it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential pans, such as a source of power.“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise fbr several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology' Center fbr M icro-B ioRobotics, wrote in a comment. ''Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of8.

What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?A.They're hard to control.B.They're too heavy to move.C.They can't predict conditions.D.They can't behave well all the time.10. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's .A.silicone bodyB.complex componentsC.precise movementsD.flexible power source11. What's the possible application of "Octobot”?A.Medical research.B.Life rescue.C. Machine operation.D. House cleaning.In the US, many people prefer sports and sports are not just fbr fun. They're almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow“ during her husband's favorite season. Americans' devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.Sports arc an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy noncompetitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.12.

Do you react positively or negatively?16 A study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame found that negative thinking, and depression coming from it, can be catching in certain circumstances.For example, the researchers studied 103 freshman college roommates who'd beenpaired casual I y.17 Specifically, the researchers measured the subject's likelihood tosee negative events as a reflection of （heir abilities and disadvantages.After only six months, it became clear that thinking patterns and styles can be catching.18 And students paired with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive in their thinking and report less depression.19 So they might be particularly accessible to adopting the thought and behavior patterns of people around them -perhaps more so than people in less intense situations at other stages of life.But maybe not. Other research has shown that, in general, people are affected by how those around them think. 20A. The answer may depend in part on whom you're around.B. Now college freshman are in a unique, life changing environment.C. However, think positive and feel positive is quite important fbr college students.D.
