Delhi has been the
centre of a succession of mighty empires and
powerful kingdoms in India.
Numerous
ruins scattered throughout the territory offer a
constant reminder of the area's history,
which makes the city always be a
fascinating place for tourists.
With the development of the city
and more and more people moving, the city has
expanded
several times in size. That is
why it is called New Delhi. New Delhi, a city with
a population of over
20

pollution in Indians capital surged to its worst
levels in years, covering the city in a thick
smog that has become an annual public-
health emergency despite government vows to solve
the
problem.

Oh my God, the robots are taking
over! We're doomed! Doomed! Now that I've gotten
that out
of my system, it's become
clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the
robots are taking
over. The latest
example is the government's new guidelines for
self-driving cars.
Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing
driverless cars in cities across America. Uber
chief
executive Travis Kalanick is
among those predicting that by 2021, self-driving
cars will play a big
part in urban
settings.
Nearly
40,000
people
died
last
year
in
this
nation
in
automobile-related
accidents,
and
we

of thousands of lives annually.

Will
they

the
brakes every 10 seconds?
But
there's
a
bigger
picture.
Not
only
are
robots
replacing
humans
behind
the
wheel,
but
behind
the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you
name it. Robots aren't just taking over
in the workplace.
The question is, where can't a
robot function better than a human? How about
writing songs?
A robot can go through
every combination of notes in record time and come
up with a pleasing
melody.
The
lyrics
might
be
a
different
story.
Is
a
Grammy-winning
song
co-written
by
Hank
Human and R-3071 in our
future?
Finally, it's
only a matter of time until we have robot
politicians and presidential candidates.
Why not? They can be programmed to be
experts in world and domestic affairs and come up
with
the best solutions without
corruption and bad humors.
Actually, it's too bad such technology isn't
available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win

Visitors to the grounds of New
College at England's Oxford University pass under
an iron gate
with the advice: Manners
make the man. Even after an appropriate update to:
Manners make the
person, it's thought-p
rovoking(
引人深思的
)
—<
/p>
especially to today's
Americans.
When we think
about what makes the
person
—
it's more likely the
degree, the job, the salary.
Since when
do we count manners as a measure of
success?
We
do
know
that
these
would
make
life
nicer,
if
more
tolerable.
However,
we
forget
or
overlook our manners. So , it seems,
does everyone
else
—
including, unluckily,
our children.
As a
university president, one of my great joys is to
visit our campuses and see our students,
though we're separated by different
generations, interests, and, of course dressing,
each student
tells me something within
the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or
she has been taught
manners. I sense
this in different ways: through her words or her
gestures, in the way she listens
or how
he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets
and says goodbye, how he responds when
an elderly person enters the
room.
In
the
absence
of
manners,
however,
I
make
some
allowances.
For
instance,
the
many
ethnic(
种族的
)groups
that students represent often have different
explanations of what makes
up good
manners. In other cases, some students may reject
what they've learned to break from
their parents and be accepted by other
students. Whether students are being different or
openly
opposing, a recent experience I
had with them tells me that there's some hope for
reviving and
good manners.
Good
manners
don't
just
guarantee
acceptance.
Good
manners
open
doors
to
deeper
connections
and
more
meaningful
roles
in
our
society.
Good
manners
are
gentle
signals
that
show we care about one
another and allow us to relate to another person
in a thoughtful way
but at a
respectable distance.

On February 6, Space X, a private
US aerospace company owned by Elon Musk, has
successfully
launched its new Falcon
Heavy spacecraft, making it the world's most
powerful rocket.
Falcon
Heavy is the largest rocket since the retirement
of NASA's Saturn V, which was used for
the Moon missions in the 1970s. “Falcon
Heavy can launch about 64 tonnes into low Earth
orbit
-
that's
almost
three
times
more
than
the
current
running
biggest
launch
vehicle,
Delta
IV
Heavy,
”Imperial
College
astrophysicist
David
Clements
told
AI
Jazeera.
According
to
Space
X,
Falcon
Heavy
can
lift
into
orbit
a
mass
greater
than
a
737
jet
loaded
with
passengers,
crew,
luggage and fuel.
The
rocket
was
designed
with
the
idea
of
earning
humans
into
space
and
opening
the
possibility
of
flying
missions
with
people
to
the
Moon
and
even
Mars.
For
its
first
voyage,
it
carried Musk's $$ 100,000
cherry-red Tesla sports car and a fake space-
suited human model fixed
in the
driver's seat. Musk j
oked that “it may
be discovered by some future alien
race”.
Falcon Heavy went
into space on its last flight on February 6. The
launch took place at NASA's
Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space
Center in the US state of Florida, the spot
also used for the Apollo 11 Moon
mission and several space shuttle launches. It was
delayed by
several
hours
because
of
high
winds
in
the
upper
atmosphere.
Minutes
after
take-off,
the
two
outer boosters
(
助推器
) landed at the nearby
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Space X announced plans to
eventually use Falcon Heavy to launch two paying
space tourists
on a trip around the
Moon. However, Musk said he will probably reserve
that mission for another
launch system,
the BFR. Recently, Space X scheduled to launch a
Falcon 9 rocket for NASA's TESS
mission
on March 20, 2018. It is reported that Space X is
scheduled to complete 30 independent
launch missions in 2018, at least half
of which will use Falcon 9.

Imagine a cat that does not need
someone to clean up after it keeps an older person
company
and
helps
them
remember
to
take
their
medicine.
That
is
the
shared
dream
of
the
toy
maker
Hasbro and scientists
at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
The researchers received a
$$ 3-million-
dollar award from the National Science Foundation
for a special project. They want to
find ways to add artificial
intelligence, or A.I., to Hasbro's “Joy for All”
robotic
The cat has
already been for sale for two years. Though priced
over 1000 dollars, it sold quite
well.
It
was
meant
to
act
as
a
“companion”
for
older
people.
Now
the
project
is
aimed
at
developing
additional
abilities
for
the
cat.
Researchers at
Brown's
Humanity-Centered
Robotics
Initiative are
working to decide which activities older adults
may need the most. They hope to
make
the cat perform a small number of activities very
well. Such activities include finding lost
objects and reminding the person to
take medicine or visit their doctor. They also
want to keep
the cost down to just a
few hundred dollars.
It
is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott.
Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with
her in South Kingstown. Derr has
dementia (
痴呆
). The Joy for
All cat that Elliott bought this year
has become a true companion for Derr.
The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while
Elliott is
at work. Elliott said a
robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to
take her medicine and be
careful when
she walks would be greater.
The researchers are trying to learn how the
improved cats will complete helpful activities and
how they will communicate. They say
that they do not want a talking cat, however.
Instead they
are trying to design a cat
that can move its head in a special way to
successfully communicate its
message.
In the end, they hope to create an exchange
between the human and the cat in which
the
human
feels
the
cat
needs
them.
By
doing
so,
the
researchers
hope
they
can
even
help
prevent feelings of
loneliness and sadness among elderly people.

the elderly.
B. To

When I
was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen
years were going to be the worst years of
my life. I was a total outsider,
bullied (
欺凌
) at school. I
felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer
work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a
passion for
helping
others.
The
opportunity
to
practice
kindness
made
me
feel
like
my
life
had
a
greater
purpose.
The
more
positive
energy
I
shared,
the
more
kindness
and
appreciation
I
received.
I
realized that my purpose in life would
be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers,
and help
them feel less
alone.
Books were my
true friends back then. I was so thankful that the
authors wrote those books.
The kindness
they offered me with their books saved my life.
One of my biggest dreams was to
become
an author so I could write books that would help
other teenagers the way those books
helped me.
After
surviving
terrible
experiences
at
school
and
at
home,
I
made
a
choice
to
take
the
optimistic, positive road in the next
steps of my journey. My dream career, one I
thought was only
possible for the
authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have
been a full-time author of teen
novels
since
2007
and
am
grateful
for
this
amazing
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
readers
every
single day.
Kindness
saved
me
when
I
needed
help
the
most.
Even
small
acts
of
kindness
can
change
someone's
life.
You
never
know
what
someone
else
is
going
through.
But
by
practicing
daily
kindness, you become
an architect of positive change.
