    One American university uses a robot as a teacher to help students with their problems. And none of the students knew that was a robot at the beginning!

    Jill Watson, a robot made in that university, helps the students a lot. When answering their questions, Jill seems to be an excellent teacher. She can give wonderful answers quickly. She sounds natural and usually says good words.

    When someone told the students that their "teacher" was a robot, they all got very surprised.

    "How was it possible? I was talking to a robot?" said Bailey, "She sounds like a common teacher." Another student Jennifer told the newspaper, "We are thinking about choosing Jill Watson to be our best teacher. She is really helpful,"

    Now many students like to ask questions on their school's website. It usually takes teachers too much time to answer them. So the university had such an idea of making Jill Watson. It's a faster way to help the students with their problems.

    Uber (优步) announced that it plans to invest (投资)20 million in developing an aircraft in France over the next five years.

    It will open a new research and development center in Paris﹣its first technology hub outside of North America. "France is a perfect home for our next step forward with its strong history of research and development, world class engineers and a unique role in aviation (航空) worldwide," Uber said in a statement.

    Uber already has R & D offices in Pittsburgh, Toronto, and San Francisco. They focus mainly on Uber's self﹣driving technology, but have also been working on Uber's Elevate flying car program.

    The Advanced Technologies Center in Paris will open later this year and only focus on flying cars. It will conduct research into airspace management, real﹣time communication networks, energy storage, and charging systems.

    Uber's announcement, made at a tech meeting in Paris, has been supported by French President Emanuel Macron, whose ambitious economic reforms are to attract more foreign investment.

    The company also announced a five-year research partnership with Ecole Polytechnique, a leading French institute of technology.

    Uber has been working on its flying car program since 2016. NASA became a partner for the program a year later by developing air traffic management for a fleet of flying cars.

    Uber expects flight to become a daily part of our transportation lives. The company believes it can offer rides in flying cars for about the same price as an Uber X ride. This technology may completely change our transportation lives in the future.

 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

" I wish I had straight hair" , " I wish I were taller" . At times, we all want {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(look) a bit more like someone else. However, copying the images (形象) we see on TV is sometimes a wrong idea. The truth is that everybody is different and that's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} good thing. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(teenager) should develop their body confidence. 

Jade Parnell, who is from the Center for Appearance Research (CAR) says, " Body confidence is about {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(accept) our bodies fully and understanding what they can do for us. That includes our sizes, shapes, skin (皮肤) colors and so on. " 

Why does it matter? Because if we feel pleased with our bodies, we will be more likely to take care of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they). Research has even shown that we are more likely to take part in activities and perform {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(good) in school. By contrast (相反), feeling worried {#blank#}7{#/blank#} our bodies could make us feel upset from time to time. The cost of trying to achieve the " perfect" appearance is high. 

" To develop an active body image is difficult, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there are still some ways to be body confident. " Parnell says, " Try to think about all that our bodies do for us. Do our legs make us run really fast?" She also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(suggest) treating our bodies well by eating healthy food, exercising, getting plenty of sleep and treating ourselves as kindly as we would do to our best friends. It can help us develop body {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(confident) as well as remind us that we are more than how we look.
