A
Last year, I fell into a deep depression(抑郁). It was caused by a car accident. I was in physical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment.
I don't want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don't want to gloss my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I'm still a work in progress. I'm not perfect. Like all of us, I'm doing the best I can. Making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.
What happened next? I started writing.
There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. The depression started to lift. I started to feel like myself again.
After completing a four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.
I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didn't know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the internet.
And so here we are. The day before the release of the book. Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. But that's not my
real motivation. I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.
If the story provides this to just one person, I've done my job. 21. What does the underlined word “gloss” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Face.

Getting stitched(缝合)up by Dr．Robot may one day be reality．Scientists have created a robotic system which did just that in living animals without a real doctor pulling the strings．Much like engineers are designing self-driving cars，the medical research is part of a move toward autonomous surgical robots，removing the surgeon’s hands from certain tasks that a machine might perform all by itself．
Doctors wouldn’t leave the bedside they’re supposed to watch，plus they’d handle the rest of the surgery. In small tests using pigs，the robotic arm performed at least as well，and in some cases a bit better，as some competing surgeons in stitching together intestinal(肠的)tissue．“The purpose wasn’t to replace surgeons，”said Dr．Kim who led the project．“If you have all intelligent tool that works with a surgeon，can it improve the outcome? That’s what we have done．”
If you’ve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system，you might think robots already are operating．Not really．Today many hospitals offer robot-assisted surgery, where surgeons use the machinery as tools that they control by hand，typically，to operate through tiny openings in the body．But robot-assisted surgery has been controversial，as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outcomes．
Kim’s team at Children’s Sheikh Zayed Institute invented the new STAR system—it stands for Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot—works sort of like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasn’t perfect．In the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sewing by hand made none. Kim said the robot can be sped up. Fie hopes to begin human studies in two or three years． 28．What’s the best title for the text?
A．A new-style way of stitching B．A new robotic system
C．The newly-designed driverless vehicles D．Robot surgeons one step closer to reality
29．What will surgeons do when Dr．Robot is used in surgery? A．They can help pull the strings． B．They rest at the bedside． C．They perform other surgery． D．They join in when necessary．
30．Some people are against using robots in surgery probably because_________． A．they may be expensive to use B．they will take shorter time C．they can be out of control
D．they are likely to cause great pain 31．What can we infer from the text?
A．Dr．Robot can take the place of surgeons． B．Dr．Robot has been tested with human trials． C．Dr．Robot will be developed at a fast pace． D．Dr．Robot can free doctors’ hands in the operation．

Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进）happiness，according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.
Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks. ’’
The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the
