 Newton left school to help on the family farm.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} , the boy was not a good farmer.He spent his time solving math problems. Instead of taking care of the farm. He spent hours visiting a bookstore in town, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   selling his vegetables in the market.An uncle believed that Newton would do better as a student than as a farmer.So he sponsored(资助) the young man into Cambridge University to study math.

    We love robot dogs, but do real dogs like robot people? It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that they do-if the robot does human things {#blank#}2{#/blank#} talk and move.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have found that dogs react（做出反应） socially to robots when the robots do things socially towards them. Looks（外貌） don't seem to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Even though a robot {#blank#}5{#/blank#} nothing like a human and doesn't have a smell, it can catch a dog's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}if it sounds like a human. Scientists discovered this by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the way dogs reacted to two different robots: one called them by name, and one just made beeping sounds（哗哗声）. The dogs were more likely to react to the talking robot, find the food it {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, and follow its orders. They {#blank#}9{#/blank#}more time near the robot or looking at its head when the robot did things socially.

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the dogs probably didn't mistake the robot for a person, they might still help scientists make a more human robot.

    Mary always wanted to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a singer. Music was the most important thing in her life. She kept {#blank#}2{#/blank#} again and again in her daily life. But to tell the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, she had a bad vice. She took lessons for many years. But her voice didn't become {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, it just got louder.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} her teacher wanted to give up and stopped, the lesson，but Mary refused(拒绝) to stop. One day she decided to give a concert and invited her teacher to come. The teacher was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. What to say after the concert because she knew it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} be bad.

    At last she got an idea and after the concert, she went to see her pupil.

    "Well," said Mary. "What do you think of my concert?"

    What was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} answer, do you know?
