By 2055, about 40 percent of the population in Japan will be over 65 years old. Thus Japanese scientists hope that robots will be the answer to the serious question-what to do with an ageing population(人口).

Today, some robots are already cleaning floors in about 10 buildings around the country, including a skyscraper (摩天大楼) in central Tokyo. The robots work at night after office workers have gone home. They even take the lift to move from one floor to another.

However, such robots are still rare(稀少的) in Japan. Japanese scientists are trying to build robots smart enough to meet the needs of the elderly(老人) in the country.

As Japan's population grows older and its workers are getting fewer, scientists say new types of robots will play an important part in society because there won't be enough people to do some jobs. \there will be little choice but to get some help from robots. \1. What problem will Japan have by 2055? A. There will be too many people. B. There will be too many robots.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?”

To answer an invitation, either say thank you and accept or say you are sorry and give an excuse. “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. I’ve tickets for a movie.”

Sometimes, however, people in the west use expressions (语句) that sound like invitation but which are not real invitation. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” or “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” They are really polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention(提到、涉及) a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To answer expressions like this, people just say, “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK! Thanks.”

So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

1. Which of the following is NOT a real invitation? A. Please go to the concert with me some day.

B. Would you like to have a cup of tea with us this evening? C. I’ve two tickets here. Can you go to the cinema with me? D. If you are free now, let’s go to Wang’s for a drink.

2. If people say, “Why not get together for a party sometime?”, you just say “__________” A. I’m glad to hear that. B. How about this evening? C. Oh, sorry. I’m very busy. D. That’s great. Thanks. 3. People use “an unreal invitation” in order to show __________.

A. they’re trying to be friendly B. they’re trying to make friends with others C. they have already got ready for a party D. their spirit of generosity 4. The passage is mainly about __________. A. entertainment at home B. real invitations or not

C. expressions of starting a conversation D. ways of ending a conversation
