Have you learned something about robots? There are all kinds of robots. They are in different shapes. They can do lots of work.

    Robot teachers， who are working in elementary schools now， have been very popular with pupils during a project in some South Korean school， a government report said on Thursday.

    The elementary school children get on well with the robot teachers. They like the robotic teachers more than the ordinary ones because they never get angry and always kind to the students. The Ministry of Knowledge said.

    English teaching robots were sent to three provincial schools for eight weeks starting in late December. There they teach students as teachers. More and more students like studying and the other robot teachers were also sent out. They can teach math， science and art.

    The researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise interest in the language and helped the students feel more confident.

    “Tele-presence” robots are controlled by an English and are equipped with a microphone and video camera. Many people think we can use these robot teachers in the village far away from the cities so that the children in these areas can also get better education.

    The government has expressed great interest in robots to give rural school children more learning chances. I think in the future we can see more and more robot teachers working with the students. But I think the robot teachers can't replace the real teachers. What's your opinion?

    My parents often take me to the zoo at weekends. I like animals. I have many toy animals in my room. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, pandas and many other animals. Some animals are friendly, but some are not. Tigers, lions and snakes are dangerous. That is why they have to be in the cage. But I think it is terrible for animals to be in the cage.

    Tigers usually live in forests and mountains. They can run. They catch and eat small animals, but now they live in small rooms. They can only walk and sleep in the cages, and they want to go out. I feel sorry for them.

    I think my favourite animals are dolphins. I like watching them swim and jump. They can play with a ball. They can "walk" on the water! They are very friendly to people. They can help you when you fall into water and can't swim.

You may not realize that you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates？

If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance（宽容）. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}We can not change the way that other people do things，so it is important to learn to live happily with them. Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different doesn't exactly mean that is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even（温和的） temper and open mind. 

You need to remember an old saying，"{#blank#}3{#/blank#}". You are always treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly，too. If you tolerate something{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}，because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people their different abilities and interests. The world is very varied（丰富多彩的） and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference. 

Paper, also called zhi, was a Chinese invention. About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} paper-making (造纸). At that time, zhi was made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} silk and was very expensive. Only the emperor and rich people could afford to use {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. About 1,900 years ago, Cai Lun improved the paper-making {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. He made cheap zhi out of tree bark and old cloth.

The improvement in paper-making {#blank#}5{#/blank#} zhi far and wide, and many different kinds of zhi were made by Chinese people. Xuan paper, a type of high-quality rice paper, can show the charm (魅力) of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese painting and calligraphy best. Later, Chinese zhi spread to the West through the Silk Road. It became one of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} popular inventions in the world. With zhi, the cost of producing books became more affordable, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} knowledge could be shared more widely. Chinese zhi now is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} used around the world. Humans are full of infinite wisdom. No one knows {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the future will be like.

 Recently there is a piece of good news: Beihai has become one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It lies on the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(东南) coast of Guangxi Province. As a city with a population of about1. 85 million {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(已经), it is still growing because more people are interested in starting a new life here. 

 Many years ago, Beihai was just a small fishing village. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(然而 ), because of its wonderful nature views, Beihai became busy and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(拥挤的) with many tourists. The beaches and islands were quite amazing, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(尤其) the Silver Beach. So many people thought these places would be a good {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(选择) for business. Tourists could also play {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(排球) there. Then the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(政府) made a plan to build a new city. Though they faced many difficulties, they

 tried really hard to{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(提升) the situation. Now the whole city is lively and active, with many big companies and several {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( 大学). And the government is developing more plans to make Beihai better in the future.
