Passage 1
Satisfaction Guaranteed
保证满意
Tony, a household robot, was tested out as a bonus by Claire when her husband, working in a company that made robots but with an average salary, was absent for 3 weeks.
Claire felt alarmed at the human-like robot and later she even felt ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. However, she began to admire his wisdom and integrity and he treated her with dignity. She told him that she was unhappy because she wasn’t wealthy like Gladys and her home wasn’t elegant. Tony promised to help her. After an appointment to paint her nails, Claire went to an expensive shop where she was rudely treated by the saleswoman whose attitude immediately changed after being spoken to by Tony. She felt guilty for being thought to be in relationship with Tony, but she still accepted Tony’s suggestion that she should invite Gladys and her friends to the house. When helping to work on a suspended light, she fell off the ladder and Tony managed to catch her. She could felt the warmth of his body. That night of the party, before the guests arrived, Claire dismissed Tony. Just then he took her in his arms, with his face close to hers, and declared that he didn’t want to leave her .
The company was supposed to be quite satisfied with the robot Tony, who protected a human being harmed.
家用机器人Tony来到女主人Claire家试用，算得上是意外收获。她的丈夫在一家生产机器人的公司上班，工资不怎么高，这次要出差三个星期。
乍一看到这长得真人样的机器人，Claire感到惊慌。后来，她甚至感到有些荒唐，因为一个机器人竟然对她表示同情。但是，她开始赞赏这家伙的智慧和坦率，他对她彬彬有礼。她告诉他，自己过得不开心，因为她不像Gladys那样富有，房子不够雅致。Tony答应帮助她。有一次按预约做完指甲之后，Claire去到了一家高档时装店，女销售员态度粗鲁。但是在Tony和她说了几句之后，其态度立刻转变了。被误以为与Tony有私情，Claire感到内疚，但她仍然接受了Tony的建议: 邀请Gladys和她的朋友来家里做客。有一次在帮助安装吊灯的时候，Claire从梯子上摔下来了。Tony及时接住了她, 她甚至能感受到他的体温。晚会即将开始，在客人们到来之前，Claire想打发走Tony。就在那一刻，Tony将她揽入怀中，贴近她的脸庞，并向她宣告他不想离开她。
那家公司应该对机器人Tony很满意吧，因为他能保护人类使之免受伤害。

Passage 2
The Time Machine (adapted)
时间机器 (改编)
Sitting in the leather seat before the main panel, I first pushed the lever an inch forwards and then backwards, which made me travel 17 hours. It took my niece a minute to fetch her handkerchief in the hazy laboratory but to me she moved like a rocket. Like being driven at a high pace on a winding road and with the walls of the laboratory falling away, I could only feel the division between the day and night by the transformation of the sun and the moon. Although knowing that the maximum speed would keep me safe, the strong urge to look at the random things drove me to pull the lever backwards, ignoring the fact that it would explode. The time machine was flipped on its hard side and I was thrown through the air, stunned for a moment, then found myself sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine.
坐在主板面前的皮革座位上，我先把启动杆向前推了一英寸，随即向后拉，这一下我度过了17个小时。我侄女来到模糊的实验室来取手帕，花了一分钟。在我看来，她的速度如火箭。我像是坐在车里，飞驰在蜿蜒的道路上，实验室墙壁坍塌, 我只能通过太阳和月亮的交替区分白天与黑夜。虽然知道以最大的速度前进，我是安全的，但是那种强烈的欲望驱使我停下来，去看看眼前随机闪过的事物，甚至忽视了会有爆炸的危险。时间机器翻转到一边了，我被抛向了空中，一时惊呆，之后发现自己坐在雨中的一堆泥巴上。
