In a field in England, three little robots have been given a great job: to find and kill grass before planting seeds (种子) in the soil.
The robots are named Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom is the first of the three clever robots to start working. He watches the crops (庄稼) carefully and collects the information about each plant. He can create a short introduction to each plant and even make decisions on what chemicals are needed for your crops.
Dick does the dirty work. He can go to each plant that is doing bad to the crops and take it out. Plants that are good for the crops are left. He can force small drops of chemicals out of a bottle or something to cover plants in order to keep them healthy.
Harry is a planter. He digs holes into the field and puts seeds into the ground, and records where he puts them. If a seed doesn't grow, he can easily travel there and plants a new seed.
The smart robots are made by Small Robot. The British company says farmers could reduce costs by 40% and chemical usage by up to 95%. The little robots allow farmers to free their soils from chemicals. Using less chemicals is going to save much money and is good for the environment. As well as reducing the use of chemicals, robots will bring us better soil quality and more plants and animals.
"We have to change farming now, or else there won't be anything to farm," says Small Robot.

Chicago is the third most populous(人口众多的) city in the US, with a population of about 2,700,000. Its other famous name is "The Windy City". It is for a good reason. The city lies right next to Lake Michigan and heavy winds blow through the city.
Chicago is famous for its art and culture (文化). In order to know the art and culture, you must pay a visit to the Art College of Chicago. It is not only a school, but also a world- class art museum. If you don't want to visit a museum, you can take some special photos. Then your best choice is to take photos at the Cloud Gate. Chicago has lots of fun things to do. If you enjoy heights, visit the famous Willis Tower! You can go up to the top of it and walk onto a glass box. You'll be standing over the city, but don't worry— It's completely safe. Doesn't Chicago sound like a fun city?
