He comes from a small village far from any big town. He is the son of a farmer. He is Wu Yulu, a common {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (invent) from a village.

    Even when he was a child, he took a great interest {#blank#}2{#/blank#} robots. He made his first mini-electrical machine at the age of 8. He worked on robots all day. Local villagers thought Wu Yulu was crazy. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, he never gave up his dream. He spent most of his time on robots with different {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (skill) and didn't care about farming.

    So far, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) more than thirty robots. Some clean, some wash the dishes, and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} pour water, light cigarettes or serve food.

    "I will never stop {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (make) robots and I'm glad that I have kept on." said Wu Yulu. "In 2009, I was invited to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} exhibition(展览) in Shijiazhuang with my robots. I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pride) that my robots were on show along with Shenzhou VII."

    Influenced by Wu Yulu, his son Wu Yangyang loves robots, too. He is so crazy about robots {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he always loses himself in his inventions. In the future, he and his father Wu Yulu will surely invent more useful robots.

    At sixty, my husband retired (退休) from a high-stress and challenging job.

    We {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) happily married for thirty-five years. But I have to say that my husband's transition (过渡) to retirement was one of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (big) challenges in our life. For the first time, he felt lost. How would he find purpose and make {#blank#}3{#/blank#} living that could allow for a healthier lifestyle?

    During the last Christmas, I bought him one yoga card. I found the magic of yoga a few years earlier and wanted to share {#blank#}4{#/blank#} him. He was thankful, but the gift card was still {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hide) in his wallet. One evening over dinner, after completing all the housework, he said something surprising, "I think I may use that yoga card and take a yoga class for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(begin)."

    Then, I realized yoga was really {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (help) to him. The transition taught him how {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) a great change in life. He would soon learn that yoga is not about competing, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} showing up without judgment (评价). I hoped the lessons would make him feel relaxed.

    Well, things have changed since then. My husband has always been a gentle man, but ever since he decided to take a yoga class, he has become much gentler. And all our grown children now throw a yoga mat (垫) in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) back seat. If Dad and Mom do it, it must be worth a try.
