In the study, two groups of people were asked to check circuit boards (电路板) for mistakes. The first group was told a robot named Panda had already checked the boards. They could see and hear Panda when they worked. The second group had to check alone.

At first, it seemed like Panda's presence didn't make a difference. Both groups spent the same time checking the boards and found a similar number of mistakes. However, the first group found fewer mistakes later on. This could mean that they depended (依赖) too much on the robot and didn't pay as much attention. They believed that Panda wouldn't miss any mistakes.

_________ In the study, people found out fewer mistakes when working with the robot. So in longer work periods, especially when tasks are boring and there in much super vision (监管), workers are probably unable to stay focused. This could be dangerous, especially in jobs where double-checking is important for safety.

To understand the problem better, the scientists suggested doing studies in real work places with skilled workers who often work with robots. This would give us a clearer picture of how attention changes while working with robots.

Many people love animals, but only a few really work hard to care for and protect them. British zoologist Jane Goodall is such an example.

Born in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for animals as a child. At 10, she read Tarzan of the ages (《人猿泰山》) for the first time while up in a tree. This made her fall in love with the wonderful land of Africa, dreaming of studying the chimpanzee (黑猩猩) there.

At 26, Goodall finally made it to Tanzania and walked into the little-known world of wild chimpanzee. At first, Goodall got sick from the weather and bug bates there. Also, the chimps didn't trust her and were very wary, trying to keep away from this stranger. Still she tried to get over these problems. She watched them quietly and patiently from far away. After months of long and hard work, the chimps got used to her being around.

Later, Goodall found something that surprised the world — chimps make and use tools (工具)! Before this, people thought only humans could do such things. Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.

Besides studying chimps, she also started a group called the Jane Goodall Institute to protect (保护) them. The group does many things like protecting forests, stopping hunting, and teaching local people how to care for chimps.

Today, the 90-year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.

The art teacher Mrs Mo ore was leaving soon for her country. "Why not1 a hand-drawn picture book about our school for her as a gift?" Peter thought.

One day, Peter was drawing while his little sister Becky was watching with great2. Just then, his friend Jeff came to visit him. "Hi, Peter! Do you3 playing football in the yard?" Jeff asked.

"I'd like to,4 it's too cold outside!" Peter replied.

"Yeah," Jeff said, "It's also the perfect weather for not getting too hot."

That was a cool thing about Jeff. He always looked on the5 side of almost everything.

"Let's go!" Peter ran out with Jeff, leaving the drawings on the table.

They talked and6 as they returned. When Peter opened the door, his heart nearly stopped. Right there, Becky was coloring his7 !

"Stop, Becky!" Peter ran over, trying to stop her. But it was too late! Almost every page was colored.

"What did you do?" Peter shouted8

"I just wanted to give a hand …" Becky began to cry.

"My drawings are gone forever!" Peter felt9 and looked at Jeff for help.

"Unless…" said Jeff.

"Unless what?"

"Remember the jigsaw puzzle (拼图)? We can10 something new from these pictures."

"11 we make it?" Peter asked.

"I'm not sure, but we can have a try." Jeff said.

First, the boys cut the drawings into12 , such as their brown teaching buildings, green playground and so on. Then, they put all these pieces together and made a jigsaw. Finally, they even13 more paints. Days later, a beautiful "14 " appeared in front of them.

"Thanks, guys!" Mrs Mo ore smiled, "I love this gift so much. It will remind (使想起) me of many great memories here."

So, you see, what a15 a creative mind makes! Jeff's way of dealing with things did help.

I know a lot about my cousin, Claire. When we were young, we often went to school . When Claire was at , she didn't have a healthy habit. She liked junk food, such as hamburgers and ice-cream. She  late to go online. Of course, she wasn't in good health. Her mother took her to the hospital . Because of this, Claire missed a lot of lessons. Almost all her classmates were  about her.

However, when Claire was in Grade Seven, she started to eat healthy food. Then she became much healthier than before.

Hello, everyone! My name is Frank. I'm 8 and I'm a student. I'm in Beijing with my family. My father's name is Bob. He's 38. My mother's name is Alice and she's 35. I have two sisters, Anna and Maria. They are twins (双胞胎) and they're 10. I also have a baby brother, Tom. He's only one years old. My grandparents are in Beijing too. My grandpa is 65. His hair is white. My grandma is 60 and her hair is brown. They have a black dog and a white cat. I like the dog. It's very cute (可爱的).

Do you know about World Letter Writing Day (世界写信日)? My grandpa tells me a lot about the special day.  A man called Richard Simpkin—an Australian writer, set up (设立) the day in 2014. He hopes people can take a break (休息) from social media (社交媒体) and write a letter to their family or friends. 

When Grandpa was young, there were no phones or computers.  At that time, Grandpa wrote lots of letters to Grandma to show his love. Now they are both over 70 years old. Every year, Grandpa writes a letter to Grandma as her birthday present.

In my grandparents'room, we can find a beautiful box.  Grandma often says to me, "These letters bring back lots of good old memories (回忆). "

Thirty years ago, my grandparents were young. They didn't wear glasses. Grandma was beautiful. She was a nurse. Grandpa was thin and tall. He was a teacher. He went to work by bike. He liked playing badminton. 

Now they are old. They wear glasses. Grandpa can't ride now. He often goes for a walk with grandma after dinner.

Anna was always very picky (挑剔的) about food. Her parents liked pizzas, tarts and ice creams. But Anna 1 ate them. 

One day, Anna went to 2 a doctor for her problems with 3 . The 4 took them all to a dark, quiet room with a strange machine (机器) in it. He put a helmet (头盔) on Anna's 5 , and a plate (盘) of fish 6 her, and then he turned on the machine. 

Immediately, the machine 7 playing sounds (声音) of the sea. It was beautiful. 8 a few minutes the doctor replaced (替换) the fish with fruit and vegetables. 

A sound of breezes (微风) blowing through tree leaves 9 . Minutes later, the doctor changed the plate with a pizza. 10 terrible sound began. 

"I'm showing you Anna is no you all," said the doctor. "She can interpret (把……理解为) each type (种类) of food into its own 11 . Anna doesn't like pizza or ice cream 12 their music is ugly (丑陋的；令人不快的). Look! She's so slim (苗条的), healthy, and fit."

"Anna sets a good example (树立好榜样) to us!" 13 Anna's father. "We should set one for her, too!"

From that day on, her 14 replaced pizzas, hamburgers, puddings, 15 ice cream s with fruit, vegetables, and fish.
