{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It's a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. ("Mom, I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.") However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans. 

There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you — will you make any next year?

A. These are about making yourself a better person.

B. How many kinds of resolutions are there?

C. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.

D. There are good reasons for this.

E. Do you know what a resolution is?

F. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world's first kids to be "taught" by a digital teacher, just like in the science fiction. Before you start imagining a human-like robot pacing around the classroom, Will is just an avatar(化身) that appears on the students' desktop, or the smartphone screen, when ordered to come.

The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector's "Be sustainable with energy"—a free program for Auckland's elementary schools.

Just like the humans it replaces, Will is able to instantly react to the students' responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and a microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues randomly. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students' attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.

Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, "I have a lot of hopes for this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich and educational experience in the future."

The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, "What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention. However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon."
