Now there are different kinds of robots. Do you want to have one? When you arrive home after a long day's study, a robot greets you and sings sweet songs to you. He would like to help you take your school things to your room. And then he helps you with your homework. He would like to be a good listener when you talk about your school life to him. When your friends birthday comes, he will tell you to call your friend and say "Happy birthday."

This is your possible future life, and the robot's name is NAO. He is from a Guangdong company. NAO has a small body, big eyes and a large head. He can walk and dance. He listens and talks, and he even learns and thinks for himself. His creators predict that the robot will be in people's homes before 2040.

NAO knows how you feel and he can even express emotions (表达情感). He is a self-guided robot. A self-guided robot can sense, think and act. Other robots might do two out of the three. For example, a robot might sense things using cameras and think using computers, but with no arms, he can't act. Another robot can move and sense things, but he cant think for himself. These aren't self-guided robots. But NAO can do them all.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu' s comics(连环漫画).

Cao, 36, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France for 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.

"My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance(距离)between cultures hasn't shortened,"Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water(苏打水); the one from China is steaming(冒热气的).

Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. She once used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don't. "Her simple pictures have played a big part in showing Chinese culture," Italian magazine Grazia reported.

Many foreign readers say that Cao's comics help them understand China, while Chinese living abroad have felt that they are seen and understood. She said that this voice has been the biggest motivation(动力) for her to keep creating.

 Wordle is a free online word puzzle game. You needn't pay or download(下载) it on the computer.You can just visit the website(网址) and start playing right away. The game was created by an IT worker Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner who loves playing games.

The easy rule of Wordle attracts many people. Wordle challenges people to find a five- letter word in six guesses. After each guess, the letters turn into different colours. Green means it's the right letter and it's in the right place. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. Grey means the letter's not in the word at all. Everyone plays only one word a day, so players are excited to solve it. If they manage to guess in the first or second try, they can't wait to show their results on Twitter. Wordle has suddenly become a huge part of people's lives. That's why Wordle has been sold to the New York Times for more than a million dollars.

 Here are some tips for you to win in fewer guesses. For your first guess, it's a good way to pick a word that has at least two vowels(元音) with popular consonants(辅音)r,t and s. If you have a yellow k in the second place of your first guess, you might try placing it in the fifth place- many five- letter words end with ck. It is also helpful to think of letters often appearing in sets of two or three, like tr/ ai/ ing. Don't reuse grey letters and don't forget letters can appear twice.

 Wordle attracts lots of players since it is such a simple game. But will players keep being crazy about it in the future? Let's wait and see.
