Everyone{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(love) snow. But when school stays open despite the snow, it can be really annoying. However, there is one upside of going to school{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a cold winter day: you might be smarter. So far, researchers who study the brain{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(find) that cold temperatures make us think more quickly since messages travel faster among our brain cells. So the scientists say{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hang) out on a cold morning may boost the result of any test that day.

    The way we tell stories has naturally changed since Aristotle defined the rules of tragedy about 2,500 years ago. According to him, the role of storytelling is to imitate life and make us feel emotions. And that's exactly what storytelling as we know it has done very well since then. But there is an aspect of life {#blank#}1{#/blank#} storytelling could never really reproduce. It is the notion of choices.

    Choices are a very important part of our lives. We as individuals {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (define) by the choices we make. As an interactive writer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fascinate) with the idea of recreating this notion of choices in fiction, I have tried to put the audience in the shoes of the main characters. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (explore) a way to achieve this is what I did in the past 20 years of my life.

    So do you have an idea of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my work is about as an interactive writer? Where a writer needs to deal with time and space, as an interactive writer, I need to deal with time, space and possibilities. I need to think about all the possibilities {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the characters could encounter different people and different things in a given scene and try to imagine everything that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} happen.

    The interactive writer's experience is very unique, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it is the result of the cooperation between a writer creating this narrative landscape and the player making his own decisions, telling his own story and becoming the cowriter but also the coactor and the codirector of the story. Interactive storytelling is a revolution in the way we tell stories.

    In the 1980s, Paolo Dario dreamed of developing {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(high) advanced artificial limbs(假肢) to help people who really need such devices(设备), but he never expected his dream to be realized. Dario, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}professor of biomedical robotics in Italy, said that as an engineer he always wants to see such dreams come true, even if a lot of work must {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do).

    He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) the comment(评论) in Beijing last month during a keynote speech at the 2019 World Robot Conference." You have to understand the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exist) problem and develop robotic arms by thinking outside the box. We hope what we need for robots can become smaller and lighter. But at the same time, as a lot of technology is now used in robotic sensors (传感器), they have become much {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(large)," he said.

    A paper {#blank#}7{#/blank#}was published in the journal Nature in 2014 stated that a human can not only control artificial limbs, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}feel the different materials they are made from as well." In the future, the super robot will further enable people with disabilities to walk on {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) own and allow blind people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(recover) their sight," Dario said.
