Early in the year of 2010, a chocolate theme park was opened in Beijing. About 80,000 kilograms of chocolate was used to build the park. The park displayed a mini-army of 560 Terracotta Warriors(秦始皇陵兵马俑) and a 33-foot-long replica(复制品)of a section of the Great Wall. People were able to watch different types of chocolate, and bought some chocolate souvenirs to take home.

 

A walking robot maid(女保姆)was made by South Korean scientists. They spent two years developing the robot maid. She is 1.3 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms. She can clean at home, make the bed and even heat food in a microwave oven. She can also be used in different or dangerous situations for humans.
