　　Cyril Dick's house is neither a modern house nor a house of the future．It is 40 years old．There are more houses like that in the south of France．They are called “bubble houses”, and you can see why!

　　Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things．He collects old records and clocks．He also collects round furniture．And now he has a completely round house．

　　Everything in the “bubble house” is round．The centre of the house is one very big bubble．This is both the living room and dining room．There are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug(地毯)in front of a round fireplace．Around the living room are three small bubbles．One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room．Upstairs there are two more bubbles－a bedroom and a bathroom．

　　The doors and windows are also round, of course．The window are like eyes．There aren't any curtains(窗帘)in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time．

　　Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect(建筑师), Antti Lovag．“A lot of modern houses are bad for us, especially tall buildings of flats,” says Lovag．“Because round homes are more natural, people feel happy in them．” Cyril agrees with this．“Some people think my house is funny,” he says, “but for me, this is the perfect home．”

　　What’s your idea of a perfect mom?In America, moms of the 1950s and 60s in the TV plays were the“perfect”examples．They always made freshly cooked meals and had a tidy house．It was their full-time job to care for the children and the home．It meant that the home was the real centre of mothers’ lives．But that was 40-50 years ago．Times have changed, and so have the roles of moms．

　　In the U．S．, in 1960s, society began to change．The women’s liberation movement(妇女解放运动)caused women to question their traditional and solid roles．And women began leaving their homes to get jobs or go back to school．Society changed in Asia, too．Fifty years later, it becomes normal for mothers to work outside the home without the exception(例外)．This is true in both America and Asia．

　　Mothers today serve as presidents, CEOs, university teachers and airline pilots．In fact, they can be found in every profession(职业)．But most people will tell you, their most important job is still being a mom．

　　There has been a new trend in food recently-people are becoming not interested in fast food and beginning taking an interest in eating “slow food”．

　　For many years, the pace(速度)of life has been increasing for most people．Buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming a big trouble for those busy people．Luckily, there were smart business people who took the opportunity to provide “instant” solutions to the problem．They opened fast food restaurants．Almost overnight, you could go to the fast-food restaurant, order your food and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to your hand．

　　The problem is health．Fast food has much oil, salt and more calories and far fewer vitamins than food freshly cooked at home．And so, since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organically grown food(有机食品)-food that hasn't been grown with chemical fertilizers(化学材料)．

　　Another reason for changes in eating habits is the society．Over the centuries, meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn．That doesn't fit with today's busy life and many people are looking for ways to restore(恢复)that．Goodbye MacDonald's．

　　Finally, there's something special about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredient and seeing something on your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book(食谱书)．So if you’re too busy, maybe it's time for you to slow down and enjoy a meal with a friend．

　　If someone asked you to draw a picture of a robot，how would it look? Like a person? That's how we often picture robots in our minds．But real robots look many different ways．

　　Some robots have TV cameras for eyes．Some have special parts that help them touch．Many have computer brains．How robots look depends on the job they have to do．Some can even have their parts changed，so they can do different jobs．

　　Some robots look like huge insects．America sent some robots to Mars(火星)in 1976．They moved on the surface and did experiments there．

　　Robots can do boring jobs．They can do dangerous jobs with fast-moving machine．They can do dirty jobs，such as painting things with oil colours．They can do jobs no person could do，such as picking up hot metal．

　　Robots don't get bored．They don't get tired．They don't mind getting dirty．

　　Some people are worried because they think robots will take jobs away from people．But that doesn't have to happen．After all，people are able to control robots．People must remember that robots are good at some things and humans are good at others．

　　Some robots often tell people they don't have to be afraid of robots．These robots help people understand that robots can do boring，dangerous and dirty jobs and people can do better ones．

　　We often make a handshake in business and in life in China．It often takes place when you meet someone new and when you leave a party or a meeting．

　　People are supposed to shake hands in many countries．But every country has its own custom of shaking hands, so you need to know something about another country's handshaking custom before you visit it．

　　Here are some of the most usual handshaking customs around the world：

　　★In England you shake hands whenever you meet someone, even if you know them well．

　　★Russians shake hands often．However, they never shake hands while wearing gloves．

　　★A strong handshake and holding hands closely are signs of welcome in South Africa．

　　★Men in Arabian cultures prefer a long handshake．At the same time, they will say a few words to greet the other person．

　　★The French always shake hands in business meetings．In social situations, they kiss each other on the face．

　　★People in India and Pakistan shake hands by holding your hand in both their hands．

　　It is considered impolite to refuse to shake hands with someone．But don't worry if someone refuses to shake hands with you, because there may be some special reasons．For example, maybe they have a cold or don't feel very well．A person that is unable to shake hands should always say sorry and explain for it so that the other person does not feel unhappy．
