On the first day of school, Jack found a little old lady with a warm smile.“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old.”she said.

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” Jack asked.

“I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retired and travel.” she answered.

Jack knew she’s joking but he was surprised what encouraged her to be here at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day they would talk after class. Jack always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with him. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.

At the end of the term, Rose was invited to make a little speech. She said, “We don’t stop playing because we’re old. We grow old because we stop playing. Being happy and achieving success may keep you staying young. If you have a dream, hold on. When you lose your dreams, you die.”

“Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent(天才) or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change...”

The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.

Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.

One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.

In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
