When computer servers (服务器) operate a large program, they can get very hot. Cooling the servers can cost a lot. So some scientists want to know what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be used.

Data (数据) centres of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have

thousands of computer servers. As these servers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the air.

A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使运行) the servers

and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So it developed a device (装置) called the e-Radiator. It contains a computer server connected to the Internet. By placing these servers inside people’s homes instead of out-the-way data centres, the company hopes to heat homes from excess computer heat, while lowering costs for the computer users.

Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes. Jan Visser is one of them. He says the amount of heat produced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the computer server. “It’s a great help for my family,” he says.

The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system

could save its users about $440 in heating costs a year.

Scientists are placing robot dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the s1.on the effect of robot dogs on old people’s feelings.

In the study, the r2., called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live a3.. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data (数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their e4.feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if the robot dog has produced any changes in the life of its master.

“I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W5.I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The scientists say they have some a6.over live dogs, especially for old people.

Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by e7.walking it or playing with it.

“At the beginning, it was b8.that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p9.could become more valuable health helpers. They will r10.their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”

One day on my way home,I knocked into a stranger as he passed by.“Oh,I’m terribly sorry.’’I said.“That’s all right.Please excuse me too;I wasn’t even noticing you.I wish I didn’t_____you.”We were very_____.We said good bye and went on our way.

Later that day,while I was cooking the evening meal,my daughter stood beside me very quietly.When I turned,I nearly_____her down.“Move out of the way,”I shouted.She walked away,tears(眼泪)in her eyes.

She smiled,“I found them out by the tree.I picked them_____they’re pretty like you.I knew you’d like them.I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.”“Oh dear,I’m really sorry for the way I acted today;I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”

“That’s okay, Mom.I_____you anyway.”

I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word______like this:(F)ather(A)nd(M)other,(I)(L)ove(Y)ou!

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home.But he would come back to help to harvest(收割)rice every year.

One autumn,he promised to help our neighbor,who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999,to harvest his rice.After Father harvested our own。his little rice picker broke.What’s worse,he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital.It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days.It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot(糜烂)in the field.He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine.“If tonight’s weather is clear.I think I can do it,”added my father.In fact,he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner。Father had a short rest and made his way to the field.A full moon was glowing(发光)in the sky and the weather was cold but clear.He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(画面):Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon.Behind him,row after row of rice stocks(秸秆)stood at attention,showing respect for a man who kept his word.
