1 . David Katz was sad about all the plastic(塑料)going into seas. To help stop the problem, he had an unusual idea -the “Plastic Bank”
Mr. Katz believes that one of the main reasons for plastic going into seas is that people think plastic is worthless. In poor countries, people are working so hard just to get enough food to eat, to find a place to live, and to keep themselves healthy. They don’t have time to recycle(回收利用) plastic.
The "Plastic Bank "helps the poor people solve their problems with food, houses, and health. When people recycle plastic, "Plastic Bank " pays them for recycling it
The program began in 2015 in Haiti, a poor island nation with big problems with plastic. Haiti doesn't have good programs for recycling. People just throw away plastic. It runs in rivers and seas.
“Plastic Bank” opened about 30“markets”in Haiti. At Plastic Bank markets, people can exchange(交换) the plastic they collected for money or other things they need.
The “Plastic Bank” has programs in Haiti, the Philippines, and Brazil. In the Philippines, the “Plastic Bank” works to create “Plastic Bank markets” at 1, 000 gas stations around the country.
So far(到目前为止)，the “Plastic Bank” has kept about 7 million pounds of plastic out of seas.

7 . When we watched movies about the future, we sometimes saw robots in the past. But today there are already robots in many areas. In China scientists are trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. To find the best ways to improve the robots, China had the World Robot Conference (世界机器人大会) on August 23rd in 2017.
Robots have been designed (被设计) to do many things, such as playing music, saving people, working in hospitals, serving people in the restaurants and so on.
If you visit Liu Hasheng’s restaurant in Harbin, you will find 18 robots there. It’s wonderful to see how the 18 robots work in the restaurant. You’ll see a robot come up and say, “Earth person, hello! Welcome to the Robot Restaurant. May I have your order?” After you order your meals, the cooks in the kitchen begin to do the cooking. After the food is ready, a robot waiter will glide (滑行) out of the kitchen to serve you with the meal you’ve ordered. And when customers enjoy their delicious food, a robot sings lovely songs for them.
After a busy day, all the robots will go for a “meal”, which is electricity (电). After 5 hours, the robots can continue (继续) their work for a day.
Scientists predict that the robot will be in people’s homes in 2040. But we never know what will happen in the future.
