I knew I wuld nt see an actual persn named Ellie’s at Ellie’s Eatery because, like mst new restaurants these days, Ellie’s is a rb-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager rbt appeared, lking rather like a taster with lively blue eyes. It shwed me t a nice table in the back. The menu mnitr ppped ut f my table and shwed me pictures f my dining ptins. I tapped my chices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back dwn.
I watched as full plates rde the cnveyer belts that mved alng each aisle (过道) f tables. In just a few minutes, my appetizer stpped at my table, and I tk it frm the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back n the cnveyer belt, and it was taken away int the kitchen t be cleaned.
I watched the little taster shwing custmers t tables while I ate my main curse. The fd was tasty, but I was starting t feel annyed because dealing with rbts always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty sn, I wanted t talk t smene real, even if it was just a few sentences.
S when my dessert arrived, I tk actin. I drpped my plate n the flr with a satisfying crash. I was s happy when I saw the manager taster’s shining red eyes — at last, a real live persn wuld arrive!
But instead, a crew f tw rbts quickly appeared. A rbt brm rushed ver and started t sweep the piece f the brken plate int a rbt garbage can. They finished and mved back int the kitchen. My pan t get a little reality int Ellie’s Eatery failed sadly. I hpe the restaurant trend ends sn. I want t deal with peple again!

Chinese Paper Cutting r Jianzhi is the first type f paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in China during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It’s a unique visual art f Chinese handicrafts. The art frm later spread t ther parts f the wrld with different areas adpting their wn cultural styles. After hundreds f years’ develpment, nw they’ve becme a very ppular means f decratin amng cuntry flks, especially wmen. The paper-cuts are als used t decrate drs and windws, and therefre they are smetimes referred t as “chuang hua”, meaning windw flwers. Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decratins. Hwever, tday, Chinese paper-cuts are als used fr religius and ceremnial purpses, and they’re buried with the dead and burned at funerals.
Chinese peple believe the red paper-cuts n the dr can bring gd frtune and happiness t the whle family. The paper-cuts are mre ften seen during traditinal Chinese festivals, particularly in Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. They’re als given as gifts t friends r ther family members.
Paper-cuttings aren’t prduced by machine, but by hand. There’re tw methds f manufacture: ne uses scissrs, the ther uses knives. Knife cuttings are fashined by putting several layers f paper a relatively sft fundatin. Fllwing a pattern, the artist cuts the mtif int the paper with a sharp knife he usually hlds vertically (垂直地). The advantage f knife-cutting is that cnsiderably mre paper cuttings can be made in ne peratin than with scissr cuttings.
It’s easy t learn abut cutting a piece f paper but difficult t master it with perfectin. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashin and press evenly n the paper with sme strength. Flexibility is required but any hesitatin will damage the whle image.
Peple find hpe and cmfrt in expressing wishes with paper-cutting. Fr instance, fr a wedding ceremny, red paper-cuttings are a traditinal decratin n the tea set, the dressing table glass, and n ther furniture. A big red paper character “Xi” (happiness) is a traditinal must n the newly-wed’s (新婚夫妇) dr.
28. What can we learn abut paper-cuts?
A. They vary frm area t area.B. They were invented by females.
C. They are mainly used as presents.D. They can’t be used in funerals.
29. What des the underlined wrd “mtif” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Line.B. Pattern.C. Pht.D. Fundatin.
30. What is the key t perfect knife cuttings?
A. The type f knives.B. The knife skill.
C. The amunt f paper.D. The quality f paper.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Paper-cutting: Chinese Flk Art
B. Paper-cutting: Famus in China
C. Paper-cuts: Varius in Different Culture
D. Paper-cuts: Widely Used in Ceremnies

Hi, kids! My name’s Jasn, and I’m here t intrduce a few animal friends f mine t yu. But first, let me just tell yu a bit abut myself. I’ve always lved animals. Fr many years, I was a keeper at Chester Z. (17) It was my jb t take care f the z’s tallest animals. Wh can guess what they were? Yes, that’s right. The giraffes! Eventually, I left t wrk in a wildlife cnservatin center. (18) I nw travel arund t give speeches t teach bth kids and adults abut the wnderful creatures that exist n ur planet. And smetimes I guide visitrs arund the center like yu and train vlunteers. (18) I knw that yu’ve bviusly been studying wild animals recently. I particularly like that painting f an African elephant n the textbk yu shw me! Sadly, we dn’t have any big animals in the center tday, but we’ve gt sme really cl little friends fr yu t meet. Befre we meet the first animal, let’s talk abut the rules. Firstly, I knw yu’re excited, but many animals are scared f lud nises, s we all need t speak quietly, kay? Secndly, yu can tuch mst f the creatures, but nly with my help. Never try t pick them up by yurself, kay? Lastly, we always wash ur hands after petting the animals, and especially befre eating. That’s really imprtant. (19) Nw, Ill g get ur first friend, the natinal treasure f Australia! (20)
