“O Miss Roberta! What ugly-looking hands Mary has!” said Daisy, as she walked home from school with her teacher.
“In my opinion, Daisy, Mary’s hands are the prettiest in the class.”
“Why, Miss Roberts, they are red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she would try to play on a piano someday!” cried our Daisy.
Miss Roberts took Daisy’s hands in hers, and said, “Your hands are very soft and white,--- just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; yet they don’t have one beauty that Mary’s hands have. Shall I tell you what the difference is?”
“Yes, please.”
“Well, Mary’s hands are always busy. They sweep, wash dishes, help to wash and hang out clothes; they are always trying to help her poor, hard-working mother. Besides, they wash and dress the children and mend their toys. They are full of good deeds to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the lame dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help.”
“I shall never think Mary’s hands are ugly any more, Miss Roberts.”
“I’m glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they do their work gladly and cheerfully.”
“It’s a shame of myself, and so sorry,” said Daisy, looking into her teacher’s face with tearful eyes.

A
News In Brief
If you hope for a long job in the future, maybe you need to think twice about these jobs. The American job search website CareerCast listed several disappearing jobs in the US. They include a mail carrier, farmer, and news reporter.
The main reason behind these disappearing jobs is the development of science and technology, said CareerCast. Machines and computers do a lot of the work nowadays. The number of mail carriers is probably going to become smaller by 28 percent in 2020, which makes it the most endangered job.

If you have a hard time staying away from junk food, scientists say that’s because these foods are actually addictive. A new study from the University of Michigan and Columbia University, US, listed the most addictive foods. They are chocolate, ice cream, French fries, pizza and cookies.
These are all highly processed foods. Processing is a big reason why food can be addictive, said the study. Fat and refined carbohydrates(碳水化合物), like white flour and sugar are added to food. And people may find that the food tastes so good and loss control over how much they eat.
1. These two articles are probably two ________.
A. stories B. pieces of news C. posters
2. The first article is about ________.
A. some disappearing jobs B. website CareerCast C. a long job in the future
3. Why are some of the jobs going to disappear in the future?
A. Because you need to think them twice.
B. Because they are the most endangered jobs.
C. Because of the development of science and technology.
4. “You have a hard time staying away from junk food” means “________”.
A. It’s hard for you to love the junk food
B. It’s not easy for you to remain eating junk food
C. It’s difficult for you to give up eating junk food
5. According to the writer, chocolate must be ________.
A. processed in the University of Michigan B. highly processed food C. controlled food

B
Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed? If you have, here’s the invention for you: the virtual(虚拟的) fitting room.
The technology, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first tried out in May. When a customer walks into a “ fitting” room, they’ll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror. A camera in the mirror, using Microsoft technology, moved itself and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto you while you stand before a screen, and it will give you some advice about whether you fit it from the machine.
The room also uses augmented reality(扩增实镜) technology. “Augmented reality allows the customers to select an item of clothing without having to try it on physically,” the company told the Daily Mail. A customer can see all angles(角度) of the clothes, and can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.
AR Door is not the only company to be developing technology to help people with the way they look. Japanese company Shiseido recently showed its Magic Mirror, a virtual make up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds.
However, the technology is not that perfect. The clothes still seem to hang on the surface of the body, rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them. And people shopping for clothes are probably still better to actually try them on. In the end, you won’t know how something really looks and feels.
1. The virtual fitting om is technology that ______.
A. allows people to watch a movie while trying on clothes
B. can help people select clothes without having to try them on
C. allows people to walk freely in the fitting room
2. You can ______ if you stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror.
A. get the advice of your friends about the clothes
B. control the computer without doing anything
C. see the back of the clothes without moving when you try it on
3. The virtual fitting room was invented in ______.
A. Russia B. Japan C. the US
4. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. the magic mirror now widely used
B. people still need to try on clothes before buying them
C. the technology wins great success and is perfect
5. What can be improved if the company wants to make the virtual fitting room more popular?
A. Allow people to get a full makeover in seconds.
B. Make clothes hang on the body of the customers.
C. Allow people to see the real clothes and feel the clothes.
