At a Dalkomm Coffee shop in Seoul, a robot takes orders from you through a mobile app or a touch screen and then makes fresh coffee. Coffee is just one of the many industries that use automated （自动化的）services in this technologically forward-thinking nation. Others include restaurants, food stores, banks and manufacturers. The development comes as many Koreans, especially the young, are struggling to find work.
Just this week, workers who operate about 2,500 large cranes （吊车）at building sites went on strike. They were against the growing use of robotic small cranes for building. Other labor unions also have opposed the use of automated devices instead of human workers at Emart, South Korea's biggest food store group.
South Korean officials also changed plans to completely automate the nation's road fee collection system. They acted after receiving blame for cutting 6,700 jobs. Instead, the system will be partly automated and keep all its existing human fee collectors.
South Korea had the highest percentage of robots to human workers in the world in 2017. The International Federation of Robotics says South Korea has 710 robots for every 10,000 manufacturing workers. The international average is 85 robots per 10,000 employees.
South Korea's lowest permitted worker wage has increased by 27.3% over the last two years. This has led more businesses to cut labor costs by using automation, says Suh Yong Gu of the Business School at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul.
Even with the job losses, South Korea's businesses are replacing employees with automation and young people are welcoming the change. Suh said, \— those who were born after 1980 --- are prime consumers. This generation tends not to like meeting other people, so they favor technology that enables people to minimize face-to-face interactions.\8. Why did construction workers go on strike this week? A. 6,700 workers had been out of work. B. They feared being replaced by robots. C. Their wages were cut down by 27.3%.
D. Their demand for a pay rise was refused.
9. What do we know about the young generation in South Korea? A. They're less competitive in modem world. B. They're victims of modem high technology. C. They're unwilling to communicate face to face. D. They're strongly against the use of automation. 10. What can we infer from the text?
A. South Korea produced the most robots in 2017. B. Human fee collectors are partly replaced by robots. C. Robots have taken the place of humans in building. D. It's still controversial to make full use of robots. 11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Made Their First Appearance in Cafes B. Koreans Are Ready for Challenges from Robots C. Automation: A Double-edged Sword in Job Market D. South Korea: A Leading Country in Technology

When our Scottish puppy （幼犬）reached doggie adolescence, she suddenly stopped obeying my commands. Our dog trainer advised us to stop worrying. \Now, a new study is backing that up: Dogs experience an extremely sensitive period at the beginning of adolescence that makes them act out, just like human teenagers.
To see exactly how adolescence changes dog behavior, the researchers monitored 70 female German shepherds raised as potential guide dogs. They asked caregivers to score the puppies on their attachment and attention-seeking behaviors, such as sitting very close to their owner or displaying a particularly strong bond for one person.
Dogs with high scores on either scale entered adolescence earlier — at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Various reasons cause human teenage girls with poor parental relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs that have tense relationships with their caregivers see changes in their reproductive development.
To test obedience （顺从），the scientists assessed a separate group of 69 guide dogs, first at 5 months and later at 8 months. They asked the dog's caregiver and a stranger to give the command
to “sit\same puppies reached adolescence, many \annoyingly obeyed the stranger. Dogs that weren't securely attached to their caregivers were even more willing to follow the stranger's commands — again, much like human teenagers.
Because of the similarities between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model
species for studying adolescence in humans, the scientists say. And on a more practical note, the temporary nature of dog disobedience might make us worry less when our puppies suddenly get minds of their own. 12. What makes the Scottish puppy disobey its owner?
A. Its being treated badly. C. Its relation with the owner. 13. What do the scores in the study suggest?
A. Higher scores probably mean earlier adolescence. B. The lower the score, the tenser the relationship. C. A puppy with a lower score could be a guide dog. D. A girl scoring higher gets on well with her parents. 14. What is the result of the obedience test?
A. Human teens have a strong bond with puppies. B. Puppies enter adolescence at the age of 5 months. C. The 69 guide dogs can understand caregivers well.
D. Adolescent dogs without enough care prefer to follow the stranger. 15 What's the potential significance of the study?
A. To understand your dog's behavior. C. To show the process of a research. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
