Bi Sheng was born in Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the movable type printing (活字印刷术) in about the 1040s. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany invented by Johannes Gutenberg. How did it work in the past?

A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises for dealing with bad feelings in recent years. Dancing, which means moving the body to the music, helps our bodies produce many endorphins (内啡肽) , which makes us feel relaxed and happy.

While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. That’s exactly what dancing does. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing to music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (抑郁的) , because dancing gives double power to your mood — the joy of music as well as the energy of exercise.

Dancing is also a powerful way to bring people closer. Social dances like tango or Latin styles require partners to

hold hands and move with each other’s steps. When dancing together, people smile, make eye contact (交流) , and share the joy. This creates close social relationships — you feel less lonely and more connected.

Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you think more of the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while.

Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to cut down stress. She also said that dancing can take any form (形式) , whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of the movement is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central.

16. Why is dancing considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings?

A. It is a popular hobby for people.   B. It can be done in different forms.

C. It helps the production of endorphins.  D. It requires people to move around a lot.

17. Why is the study mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. To support that music and sports work well.

B. To show the help of music in treating patients.

C. To show three different ways of treating patients.

D. To introduce an experienced doctor and his success.

18. How can dancing help people let go of bad feelings?

A. It makes people think more about the future.

B. It requires people to forget their present problems.

C. It helps people form close relationships with partners.

D. It draws people’s attention to their bodies and frees their minds.

19. Which of the following ideas does Lauren Helper support?

A. Music is as helpful as dancing in cutting down stress.

B. Dancing is fun, and that’s why it is important to people.

C. Dancing helps people relax, no matter what form it is in.

D. Dancing out with friends seems better than dancing alone.

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
