Different countries have different eating habits. There is a saying "Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner" in China. Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.

Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch because they have not so much long time to have a rest at noon. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.

Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they just having a good time. In Ameri ca it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.

What an amazing horse! Even though more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning eyes, orderly teeth and kicking hooves. Night-Shining White, now kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is regarded as one of the most important horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for his drawing skills. 

Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His talent(才能) in art was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to co llect payment for some wine. While waiting at the gate, Han Gan used a stick(木棍) to draw pictures on the ground and was seen by the poet. Wang Wei decided to help the young man to study painting. Because of Han's natural talent and years of hard work, he was finally chosen to work for Emperor Xuanzong. 

The Tang emperors were crazy about horses. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was to copy the works of other painters. Han Gan's way, however, was different — he studied the animal itself. He often visited the royal stables(马厩) and even lived with the stable workers for some time. The horses, whether resting or moving, offered him a lot of ideas. The more time he spent studying these horses, the more his understanding of them grew. Day by day, Han Gan painted the horses, showing every de tail that he saw with his own eyes. 

Those who saw Han Gan's horse paintings were all surprised at his skills, saying that his horses could gallop(疾驰) off the paper. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty. expressed his admiration for Han Gan as one of the best horse painters with the words, "The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses. "

 阅读下面的材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。

Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?

For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn't look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don't need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot's body, and we will see a face. 

Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate. 

To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin( 皮肤)for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave's robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!
