Earthquake rescue ( 救援 ) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing, The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped ( 困住 ) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, "The most important character of this flying robo is that it doesn't need a control from faraway paces. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes of, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 30000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour."
This robot has a different function- -it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector ( 探测器 ) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark, With its 10 - mer - long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen ( 氧气 ) and water.
Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.

"How can that be？" Simon asked． （B） " I don't get a chance to speak．"
"Communicating is more than just speaking． Your body language is important， too．"
"Body language？"
"It's the way （C） youstand and sit． It's your gestures and the expression on your face． Your whole appearance communicates things． You don't give people a good impression， Simon． You look down， you never smile and you don't turn your head towards them． "
"Look at Debbie． She's holding her head up． She always smiles and looks friendly． Her body language is making people feel welcome， so they go to her for help．"

Sometimes good ideas have bad results． This is what happened to Spain's Matrera Castle （城堡）． The castle was built in the 9th century and has interested thousands of visitors every year． But part of it broke after a heavy rain， so the castle needed a big repair． However， the result didn't turn out well． The castle became a totally modern building!
"The building has nothing to do with what it used to be， or even with a medieval （中世纪的） castle，" criticized （批评） the Spanish cultural heritage group （文化遗产组织） Hispania Nostra． People across the world have been laughing about it online too． "How terrible!" "They've got builders rather than repairers．" "No words are needed when you see the pictures．"
The leader of the repair said that he wanted to make sure the building stayed standing． Facing the criticism， he also added， "Opinions are always welcome．"

A young girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher's question． She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a "know﹣it﹣all" and sees someone else roll （滚动） his eyes． She doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be "bossy （专横的）"．
The stereotype （成见） that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 "Ban Bossy" campaign （"禁用专横"运动）． This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called "bossy"．
Laila Farah， from DePaul University， US， says she believes this stereotype comes from history． "There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys，" Farah says． "There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings．"
"Gender （性别） stereotypes come from nearly everywhere，" Farah says． "It's is learned when people were babies， from the toys chosen， to saying girls aren't good at math．"
In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute， many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged （评判）． Girls learn to keep their ideas and leadership skills to themselves．
Maybe instead of never using the word bossy， we need to forget the idea that being bossy is a bad thing． At the end of the day， bossy people get the job done．
