Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed     1     (significant). Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch     2     the people that we want to make friends with.

Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. The digital age also enables us     3     (find) people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or     4     (play) an unusual instrument. Whatever our     5     (hobby) are, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

However, the “friends” online don’t necessarily become our real friends. If people always exchange true     6     (person) information online, then these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media     7     (be) often not the whole truth about a person. On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates    8    make them appear happy and friendly and the smiling photos can hide real problems.

    9    , this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bath water. Although in recent years technology    10     (change) the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.

3 . What will restaurants look like in the future? What would your dinner taste like if a robot cooked it? A robot restaurant in Tianjin may give you the answers.

Covering an area of over 400 square meters with a total of 112 seats, the X Future Restaurant is a robot restaurant that opened in November 2018. The restaurant has amazed customers with its fully-automated (全自动的) technology, which covers every step of the dining experience, from ordering to cooking to serving the dishes and even taking payment.

Entering the restaurant, one can order dishes by simply scanning the QR codes on the table. There are over 40 choices of dishes. After taking the order, “robot cooks” prepare dishes using fixed time, temperature and ingredients designed by famous Chinese cooks.

“As the cooking is controlled by a computer system, the taste and quality of dishes can be good,” said Li Xiaokui, manager of the X Future Restaurant.

Robots also complete the delivery of dishes. Without following any designed route, the robot waiters serve meals thanks to automated driving technology, which helps each robot timely change its route when something is in the way.

These eye-catching technologies have received wide praise from customers. “The dishes taste surprisingly good. I couldn’t believe that they were made by robots, especially dishes that were difficult to cook.” one customer said. “The application of robots has increased our efficiency and cut down our costs,” Li said, “I think robot restaurants will develop fast and have a bright future.”

6 . Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey: ① Scary movies and TV shows; ② Scary dreams; ③Thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other horrible weather;④ War and terrorism; ⑤ Sounds heard at night.

But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.

What is fear?

Fear is feeling that everyone has -- it’s programmed into all of us--and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.

Real vs. Pretend

The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches, he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”

The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief i hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.

“The physical aspect of the sport can only take you _________,” said Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller. “The mental aspect has to _________, especially when you’re talking about the best of the best. In the Olympic Games, everyone is talented. Everyone _________ hard. Everyone does the work.
