   When you are curious about something and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The following steps can guide you during the research.
   Step 1 Write down the subject that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:
Discover more about robots.
   Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about your subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below:
   1. The first robot appeared in the USA in 1959.
   2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.
   3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses and causes a lot of problems.
   Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions, start writing down questions about the robots on the paper:
   1. What might robots be like in the future?
   2. What other things can robots do for people?
   3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?
   Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you'll probably discover some new questions.
   For example, you might discover that robots can help scientists explore dangerous places, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
   The next time you find something interesting to research, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember that learning more always brings more questions.

   People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.
   Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.
   With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.
   Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.
   Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people's health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward.

①Winter can be a hard time for animals. The weather may be very cold. Food can be hard to find under the snow. How do animals live in this season? Let's have a look.

②In autumn, when the weather gets cool, some animals go away from cold places. Some birds fly south together. They move south because the weather there is warm and food there is easy to find. When spring comes, they will return.

③Many animals store(储存) food before the cold days. That is what a pika(鼠兔) does. A pika looks a little like a rabbit, but with short ears. Pikas live in high mountains where winters are long and cold. In summer, they prepare lots of grass to eat in winter. By the end of summer, a pika may store about 22 kilos of grass.

④Some animals change themselves to live in winter, like snowshoe rabbits in America. In summer, the rabbits' fur is brown. But they grow new, white fur in winter. The new fur keeps them safe in the snow. In autumn, they eat to get fat(脂肪), because the fat can also help them keep warm in winter.

⑤Other animals sleep all winter long and don't eat at all. Before winter, these animals eat a lot to grow fat. When winter comes, they go to sleep. Black bears in cold areas make warm beds to sleep in. Some of them can sleep for seven months. By the time spring comes, they have lost most of their fat.
