My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理) 2 , were always landing on 3 ears. Very often a whole hours scolding would end with their 4 into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 5 my method of “mothering”.One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain 6 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was 7 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and Im sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 8 arriving back, the children were 9 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 10 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 11 asking them to play a certain violin 12 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 13 Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 14 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, Id like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 15 of well-done jobs the day 16 . 17 I cant remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its (贴条). The bathroom mirror became the 18 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be 19 . We all benefited from and 20 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You dont have to feed it, you dont have to walk it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as
