It's Saturday morning and Tony's sitting at the kitchen table, staring（凝视）into space and playing with a piece of bread. He's not even hungry. Is he ill? No, but he does have a problem. He has nothing to do and there's just one reason: the Internet is down and Tony has nothing to do.
When he woke up this morning, Tony was feeling great. He jumped out of bed full of plans for the weekend ahead. It would be a weekend like any other—a great weekend. But that was before he turned on his computer and wasn’t able to go online. No Internet changed everything.
Just as Tony is wondering how he can possibly have a normal(平常的)weekend without the Internet, his mum walks into the kitchen. "Is everything OK?" she asks. "No, mum, everything is definitely(的确)not OK," her sad son replies. "I can't go online and I have homework to finish." His mum laughs, "The word program is still working, so what's the problem?"
What's the problem? Tony can't believe his own mother isn’t able to see how serious the problem really is. To start with, he still needs to do research for his homework. He knows his mum will tell him to go to the library but he hates the library. It's so dark and uncomfortable. And forget homework—what about the rest of his weekend! Every weekend, he goes online to email friends. Then he reads the news to catch up on what's happening in the world. He plays a few online games and finishes the weekend off with an online chess game with his cousin Helen. The wonderful weekend-online!

It's said that there is a kind of bird born without feet． They fly for their whole life and try to sing the most beautiful songs． They can only land once﹣the time when they die．
Liu Yanzhi is just like the bird．
When Liu Yanzhi was a baby，she had an accident and lost the ability to walk．Every time she saw other children play happily outside，Liu Yanzhi really wanted to join them．But she knew she was different．That made her upset．
Once，Liu Yanzhi went out onto the street in her wheelchair．Some people saw her and began to shout，"Look! That disabled girl wore make﹣up（化妆品）!""Yes， how strange!"
"Why can't a disabled girl wear make﹣up？ Every flower has the right to show its beauty!" Liu decided to cheer up and have a wonderful life．
In 2009， Liu got a job in a local beauty shop． She was paid a little but learned a lot．
In 2012， Liu opened a beauty shop but failed．Her mother begged（乞求）her to give up，but she kept on．She traveled around to learn at different training meetings…
After a few years' hard work，Liu succeeded． She thought she could do more．In 2017，to help other disabled people，Liu started the Taihe Sunshine Disabled Association．Now，the 31﹣year﹣old woman owns a factory that produces make﹣up products of her own brand（品牌）．

"Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements，" the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past ﹣ and still do today．
Chinese Five﹣Animal Exercises， also known as Wuqinxi， are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals：monkeys，deer（鹿），birds，bears and tigers．They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history， Hua Tuo， more than 1，800 years ago．
The Five﹣Animal Exercises are well﹣designed to help blood circulation（循环），and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health．
"The bear movements are good for the stomach．The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back．The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist（腰）．The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart．"said Hua Yi，the 59th inheritor（继承人）of Wuqinxi．
For those new learners，the first few exercises might not go well．You may find it hard to focus（集中注意力）．Wear comfortable clothes，keep peaceful in your mind，try to move slowly…Little by little，you'll feel more and more harmoniouswith nature．You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer，walking in the forest freely．
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn．You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind．Because it's fun to practice and good for health，Five﹣ Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years，not only in China，but also in many other places of the world．

When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005， she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest．"But now，it's different，"says Nejat，"People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready．"
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need： care﹣giving for the old． The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050， three times larger than that now．
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease（老年痴呆症）．They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding（提醒）the patients of taking their medicine．They can also play games with patients to keep them active．
Some have worried that care﹣giving robots might reduce（ 减少）human interaction（ 互动）and cause more humans to lose their jobs．"But the aim is to support human care， not to take the place of it，" says Brian Scassellati． He has tested robots with different patients， and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder（ 自闭症障碍） improve social skills．
As a field grows， scientists aim to understand human﹣robot relationships better．Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions？ Will patients lose interest？
"One thing is clear，" Scassellati says，"Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future．"
