Dora and Annie were called to the teacher's office for breaking the glass apple on Mrs.Marley's desk.They sat opposite Mr.Barlow and they looked quite nervous.
"Would either of you like to explain what happened?"Mr.Barlow asked.
Dora took a deep breath,"I was looking at Mrs.Marley's glass apple.The sun was shining on it,and it made a rainbow on the desk.I thought the rainbow would get bigger if we moved the apple."
"So you moved it?"Mr.Barlow asked.
Dora pointed at Annie. "She did it,but the rainbow got smaller.I tried to get the apple back,but it fell on the floor and broke."
"Thank you,Dora.Annie,tell me what happened in your own words
"Dora said she wanted to make the rainbow bigger,so I told her how my sister used a sun catcher to make a rainbow on the ceiling.I tried to show her that,but she said the rainbow was getting smaller and she could do it better.She tried to take it
"It was not!" Dora cried angrily.
Mr.Barlow stood up."Do you want to know what I think?" "Yes!" They said.
"I think Dora wanted to make the rainbow bigger and Annie tried to help." "Exactly!" Annie said.
"Not so fast,"Mr.Barlow said. "Annie,you thought you could make the rainbow better,and the apple fell and broke.Does that sound right?"
"So,we're both to blame,"Dora said.
"Yes.The real blame isn't in who broke the apple,"Mr.Barlow said. "It was in the fact that you both touched something that didn't belong to you."
"I guess we did,"Annie said.
"We should say sorry to Mrs.Marley,"Dora added.
"I think you both learned a valuable lesson,"Mrs.Marley said,smiling in the doorway.
"Robots, drones(无人机) and AI will do around 90% of the housework by 2040, " scientists from King's College said.
Mischa Dohler and Dr. Ian Pearson wrote a report to predict what homes will look like in 20 years. In it, they said that housework like washing the clothes and doing the dishes would be much easier because of technology progress(进步). If technology kept making progress, they expected that people would spend less than two hours a day in doing housework.
But most British people still don't believe their predictions. Just 2/5 of the people think that house robots will become a reality(现实) by 2040.
Predictions of Automation(自动化) by 2040 ▲ There will be house robots in people's homes. They will be able to do some of the housework all by themselves. Drones Small drones will be common. Some will keep the house clean, water plants and keep an eye on your house. Some will keep you warm with special light when you move around the house. AI Servants They will do almost everything for you. They will be able to pay the bills(账单), do some shopping and find ways to save your time and money. Super Smart Fridges They will learn what you eat. They can tell you how much food there is in the fridge, and even recommend(推荐) recipes. |
