    This year's annual meeting of robots was held last month in Paris，France.

    A very special event was the robot cookery class. I think all the robots especially enjoyed the Italian cookery class—robots from Italy taught everyone how to make delicious pizzas and spaghetti. It was great fun!

    The title of "Most Beautiful Robot" went to Electrica Robottie from India. She needed to travel a long way to get to Europe，but she was pleased to be at the meeting in Paris. After dancing, beauty arid intelligence tests，the judges agreed that Electrica Robottie was the winner of this year's competition.

    Next was the competition for the strongest robot. Robots from around the world carried cars and ran long distances to show us their strength. All the robots did very well. This year, the strongest robot was Techo Tim from Germany. He is 190 cm tall.

    In order for us all to see the new types of robots this year, there was a new robot show on the final day of the meeting. We saw robots from China with digital cameras inside them. We also saw a new type of robot from Switzerland—it is powered by solar batteries(太阳能电池).

    The president of the International Robot Society，Kim Pyoota from South Korea，closed the meeting by thanking all the robots for coming to Paris.

    "This year's annual meeting is a great success ! " President. Kim said，"And hope to meet you all again in Sydney, Australia next year! "

Nostalgia

When I was young，                   But later on,

Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp.          Nostalgia was a low，low  grave.

Me on this side，                      Me on this side，

Mother on the other side.                And my mother ;inside.

When I grew up，                     And at present，

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket.        Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait.

Me on this side，                      Me on this side，

Bride on the other side.                  Mainland on the other side.

    As one of "China's new four great inventions"，China's high-speed rail eyes the world again with Fuxing. It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is totally designed and produced by Chinese engineers without any help from the West.

    China's high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed，but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion passengers，or the total population of Africa and South America combined.

    In 2015，a video taken by a Swedish traveller became popular on social media at home and abroad. In the nine -minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast -running high –speed train. It shows the steadiness(稳定)of China's high-speed train，giving visitors a comfortable travelling experience.

    The service on:China's high-speed rail is still improving. The new bullet train plans to increase the height and the Wi-Fi network will cover the whole train. Its air conditioning system is designed to reduce the influence of the external pressure(外部压力)wave when the train is passing through tunnels, easing(缓解)discomfort of ears.

    China's high-speed rail also plays an important role in promoting(促进)the Belt and Road Initiative. It will be good for countries along the Belt and Road. It provides a platform to promote global cooperation(合作)in production capacity(生产力)，so it reconfirms China's position as the world's second largest economy.

36. 阅读表达 阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

    The way we spend our time can be. divided into three groups，or jars(罐子).These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.

    Every day，we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things，like making money，doing housework，buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important，but we may not enjoy them. If we don't fill them each day，our family won't run properly.

    However, we often forget to fill the third jar—the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary, and voluntary tasks，time flies by on some days，and before we know it，it is time for bed.

    That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days，I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance(社交舞)class. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week，I was happy to take part in an orchestra(管弦乐队)practice at my church(教堂).At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.

    Consider how your time is spent. Try to find ways to achieve a balance. At the end of the day，hopefully we've done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.
