We have all heard the saying ,"It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving ,though ,can be just as good. Sometimes a gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.
As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer..
Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.
Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.
Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.
Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.
These are just a few examples – visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your morn or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?
Once you volunteer, you will quickly learn that giving has its own rewards（回报）. You won't get paid, but the feeling you get from helping others is much more special than getting money. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed（失望的）!

Spark is a new type of drones （飞行器） made by a Chinese company （公司） in Shenzhen called DJI． It can help people take photos and videos． Spark might be the smallest drone ever made． When folded， it is as small as a can of cola （可乐罐）． The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures（手势）． For example， if you wave （挥动） your hand from left to right， the drone will fly in the same direction． When you want it to land， you just put your hand out． The drone will come to you and land on your hand．
● Social Robot
Robots may not be good communicators． But Jibo， made by US company Jibo Inc， may be different． With a big， round head and round， fat body， Jibo looks like a cartoon character． As soon as you say， "Hey， Jibo．" It will giggle（咯咯地笑）， dance and turn to face you． When it talks to you， it moves its head and body naturally to communicate with you． Although it has no eyes or mouth， Jibo uses animated icons （生动的表情）， such as a smile icon， to show emotions． Right now Jibo can only do some basic things， like taking photos or reading the news to you． But it may learn to do more in the future．
