    Twenty-two-year-old Timothy Doner from New York City has been able to speak 23 different languages, including some rare African ones.

    Timothy began his foreign language education at the age of 13. Attracted by in Israeli(以色列) musical band. Timothy listened to their album every morning. A month Later, he kept about 20 of their songs in his mind, though he didn't know what the Hebrew(希伯来语) words mean. But once he learned the translation. it was like he had a dictionary in his head.

    Then Timothy moved on to Arabic (阿拉伯语) which he studied every morning by reading newspapers with a dictionary and by talking to street vendors (小贩). After that he learned Persian, then Russian, then Mandarin... and about twenty others and developed a crazy low for languages.

    Now, Timothy is still teaching himself new languages. With the help of language books and word-learning Apps on his iPhone. He can master a language in a few weeks or months.

    What has Timothy got from learning so many languages? "By learning languages, you are learning a lot more. You are learning about culture, everything from cooking to TV，poetry and whatever it may be. That helps you better understand the language,” he said.

    Jimmy is a very kind young man. He works in a big supermarket. His workmates like him very much. Last month Jimmy caught a bad cold, and he stayed in bed for about two weeks. But after he got well, something happened-he couldn't stop winking(眨眼) . When he stayed at home, he was all right as usual. But if he went out, he couldn't stop his eyes from winking.

    Jimmy went to work the next morning. On the way he met a policeman and winked at him. The policeman felt surprised but said nothing. Then he met an old man and winked at him. The old man thought he must be mad. But still he didn't say a word.

    Real trouble started when he met women. First he met a young lady. He winked at her. The woman's face turned red, and ran away as fast as she could. And then he met an old woman who carried a walking stick. Jimmy winked at her. She looked closely at him. Jimmy winked again.

    Without saying a word, she hit Jimmy on the head with her walking stick. "Take that!" she cried out. "This is a lesson(教训) for you."

Poor Jimmy! How could he explain it? He ran away quickly. From then on, he always wears a pair of dark glasses when he goes out.

    Last weekend, Jake had a lot of homework to do. He finished listening, spelling and reading exercises in the morning. In the afternoon, he added fifteen and twenty—two, and then he got thirty—seven. He added and subtracted until his hand got tired of writing.

    After supper, Jake's dad reminded Jake to do his job. Jake went from room to room unloading baskets and cans into a large plastic bag.

    Then he took the bag out to the dustbin.

    Then Jake could have some free time. He decided to play "Star Monsters". He turned on the monsters fighting on the TV screen while his fingers pushed buttons to make them move.

    Jake was tired. He put on his pajamas, brushed his teeth and crawled under the covers.

Have you ever watched the program Everlasting Classics 《经典咏流传》on CCTV? This program {#blank#}1{#/blank#} us more interested in reading books, especially classics. It can not only {#blank#}2{#/blank#} our minds, but also make us cleverer and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. We can improve our study {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn, and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} our future will become. I like reading. I once read a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} named Journey to the West. I like this book because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the weak and never give up. 

However, some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} spend much time listening to music, watching TV or {#blank#}9{#/blank#} computer games. It takes much of their free time. So I think everyone should read more books, especially classics so that we can spread (传播) our {#blank#}10{#/blank#} culture to the world.

 One American university used a robot as a teacher to help students with their problems. And none of the{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (student) knew that their new teacher was actually a robot at the very start.

 Jill Watson, an IBM— designed robot, has been helping graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology solve problems with their design projects(项 目). When answering {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) questions, Jill seems to be an excellent teacher. She can give wonderful answers quickly. Her voice {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sound) natural and she usually says good words to the students.After five months, the students  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( tell) that their" teacher" was a robot, and many were surprised.

 Now a lot of students like to ask questions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their school's website. It usually takes teachers too much time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   ( answer) them. That's why the university came up with the idea of using Jill Watson. It's a much{#blank#}7{#/blank#}( fast) way to help the students with their problems.

 Jill can quickly find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( possibility) answers to the questions on her own computer and make sure they are all right. She uses her smart computer brain to search for the best answers. After that, she tells the students in an electronic voice that sounds like  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}​​​​​​​ famous actress. She was trained well{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  being thrown into the mix with nine other teachers. Thanks to Jill's fast and right answers, students have a good helper for their studies.
