    Will robots take over the world? It's hard to say. However, this one has already taken over the kitchen. It is the robot chef, Moley. It can make meals. British scientists made it.

    Look! There is no driver in that car. A computer controls it. The car has no steering wheel(方向盘), but it has cameras. The cameras can see the road. It can go 40 km in one hour. The American company Google made it.

    Look at this car. It's made of wood. People can use a remote control(遥控) to run it. An American artist spent more than 5,000 hours building it.

    Do you want a ping pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. This door is here to help. It can turn into a ping pong table when you pull it down. It's from Germany.

Do you know that women's brains are smaller than men's? Normally the women's brain weighs 10% less than men's. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it's what's inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount(数量)of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.
It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it's women who come out on top every time.
There are other important differences between two sexes(性别). As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的)tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life's great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!
The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿)are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

How do you find the street cats in your school? Cat food? At Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), students made on their phone a mini-program(小程序) Beiwai Cats to help students find the cats in their school and get to know them. 

On Beiwai Cats, every cat on the eastern campus ( 东 校 园) of the university has an"ID card". The cards show the cats' photos with information(信息), like what the cats look like, where to find them, whether(是否) they like people. Cat lovers can even adopt the school cats to give them a home on Beiwai Cats. 

Zhou Hengxiao, 20, helped make the mini-program. He said it is good for both the students and the cats. With the"ID cards", students can learn more about the cats. If students know the cat is afraid of people, they will be more careful not to touch(触碰) it. So the cat may not get scared so often and the students are less likely to get scratched(被抓伤). 

Zhou's group are working on platforms like Weibo, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu to make more people know Beiwai Cats. "When we make money from these platforms, we can use the money to buy more food for the cats, "he said. 

Zhou said they hope to help more street cats on Beiwai Cats. "We don't have much money, but we want to do our best to give these small lives a home, "said Zhou.
