I recently started a new job in a small office. There four of us1 a water filter pitcher(净水壶). One of my workmates complained to me that the water tasted "2 "It went on for a few days, and she was surprised why I could drink the water without any3 In fact, I didn't find anything wrong with the water. It tasted just fine to me.

Finally, she found the cause of the problem. The "dirty smell" was actually from her4 . She simply forgot to clean it, and after a while it started5 the water inside. She cleaned her cup carefully, and then drank the water with great satisfaction.

Looking at this, I can't help6 the world we live in. Most of the time we quickly blame(责怪)other people, other things, anything else but we will never think about7 We can hear words like "You're lazy", "You're careless" or "You're the problem" everywhere. The world isn't8 , but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some9 . Can I be better? Am I really nice? Can I help others with kindness?

I want to tell you this: please clean your cup.10  you do so, the water will taste much better, and maybe the surroundings will be much better, too.

Robots now are doing more work than ever before. While some experts believe robots will help people in the future, others are worried. They say machines will someday perform 45 percent of the jobs humans now do. Some workers fear that machines are coming to take away their jobs.

Tim OReilly, the president of a technology company, says most computer software depends on human beings to keep it operating(运行). "It's so important that we have to think about not using technology to replace people—but to help them to do something that was impossible before the technology." O'Reilly says.

Jonathan Brewer, a trainer, says technology experts must consider how their inventions can help people. He adds there isn't much reason to have machines do difficult work if people are not able to use and enjoy the results of their work. But also, Brewer hopes that people and ma—chines will continue to work together. He says there is technology that tells city workers when street lights need to be repaired or when rubbish bins are full. That means the workers do no need to examine the lights or bins, as many now do. But he says when the technology tells when repairs are needed or bins must be emptied, humans still must provide the service.

Many people support technology and the changes it will bring. But many are also starting to think about its influence on humans and how to help people live in a world where machines do so much work.

Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn is a famous academy(学院) in New York. It has a popular programme  Spirit Day, in which students and teachers are allowed to come to school dressing up as Disney characters on super heroes, or in ugly sweaters.

It is continuing this year. January 27th, the academy held Pajama Day, one of Adelphi's favorite Spirit Day e events. On that day students and teachers came to  in their most comfortable pajamas (睡衣裤). Many of the  also brought their favorite toys to class!
