I'm sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it's actually very scientific.
Material | The first thing you have to do is to collect items that can be recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper, metal, glass and plastic. |
Daily things | Can you think of everyday items made of these materials? Soda cans are good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspaper are made out of paper. So are cereal boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass. Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled. |
Loop | These things are usually stamped with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows that go in a triangular (三角形) circle. This shows that cycle (循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else. |
Process | Let's go back to the process of recycling. ①The items are put in a recycling bin. ②A truck carries the items to a recycling plant. ③The materials are separated and squashed (被压扁成) into square cubes. ④Companies buy and turn them into new products. |
After a long day's study at school, you are very tired. So after school you go home to relax. When you get home, a robot welcomes you. He's happy to see you and helps you take your school things to your room. He listens to you talk about your school life and tells you a new joke. And he tells you to call your cousin and to say happy birthday. And then he helps you with your homework.
This is your future, and the robot's name is NAO. NAO has a small body, big eyes and a large head. He can walk and dance. He listens and talks, and he even learns and thinks for himself. His creators predict that the robot will be in people's homes before 2040. This $16, 000 robot knows who you are.
NAO can even express emotions(表达情感). He is a self-guided robot. A self-guided robot can sense(感觉), think and act. Other robots might do two out of the three. For example, a robot might sense things using cameras and think using computers, but with no arms, he can't act. Another robot can move and sense things, but he can't think for himself. These aren't self-guided robots. But NAO can do them all.
