6 . Working robots are typically big, simple and strong. They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous jobs. But the idea of putting “cobots” which work in harmony with humans into use has become a reality and has changed robotic products worldwide.
Cobots include robots made of tough materials that provide support for the disabled and software-based assistants for home of online services. With their operating software updated from the Internet，these helpers will become an extension of mobile devices.
Most industrial robots are not designed to deal with unpredictable human jobs. However, by reducing robots down to desktop size and planting them with AI, the next generation of cobots will learn from us and cooperate with us better. Lightweight cobots can work in less space and share themselves with people rather than being caged off. Decreasing costs for robotic systems make them more suitable for small businesses, and their easy set-up makes them simple to deploy. Typical industrial uses for cobots include packing and machine tending. More detailed uses include cleaning dirty samples, picking plants, making tea and coffee and so on.
Still, experts thought that introducing robots would lead to job losses. Some people said that 20 million industrial jobs would be lost worldwide by 2030.Actually,it was not the case. What big companies such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not intelligent enough to keep pace with the demand for special products, which still depends on a large number of skilled staff to control and push the whole progress.
“Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step change in robot improvements. It has become necessary to use the new generation of cobots in people’s daily life, and cooperation should be considered as an applicable strategy. When we make people and machines cooperate, we can produce many more products on one production line,” said Markus Schaefer, head of production planning.

7 . Three teachers were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. They tried to save their students from a gunman who they recognized as the son of a kindergarten teacher there. The three heroes who were murdered were Dawn Hochsprung, 47, school psychologist, March Sherlach, 56, and 27-year-old Victoria Soto, a young first grade teacher.
When the gunman Lanza began firing at the school in suburban (郊区的) Newtown, Connecticut, several other teachers were in a meeting with Mrs Hochsprung and Mrs Sherlach. Some teachers dived under tables, but Mrs Hochsprung and Mrs Sherlach never hesitated. They ran into the hallway to pull their students into their office. They bravely faced the danger and were murdered by the gunman.
When the gunman broke into the classroom of Grade One, Miss Soto sacrificed herself to save her students — throwing her body in front of the young children.
A tale of heroism came from an eight-year-old student who said a teacher pulled him from the hallway as bullets rang out. “I saw some of the bullets going down the hall that I was right next to and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom,” the boy told CBS News. His relieved mother agreed, saying that the teacher saved her son’s life.
The New York Times reports that twenty-eight people died in the shooting rampage (暴行), including twenty young children between the ages of five and ten. The gunman, Adam Lanza, took his own life finally.

8 . Chocolate is a kind of food. But do you know it came as a drink at first? It was made from the seeds of cacao trees. The seeds were first found to be useful about 2,000 years ago. Early Central Americans and Mexicans used the seeds of cacao trees to make a drink that tasted bitter, not sweet. Later on, this drink was made into a sweet drink, known as hot chocolate today.
Why does chocolate taste sweet? That’s because a lot of sugar is added. This means that chocolate can be bad for your teeth and health. But it’s proved that chocolate is safe to eat unless you have too much of it.
There are mainly three types of chocolate: white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Among the three, white chocolate tastes the sweetest. Milk chocolate is sweet, but not as sweet as white chocolate. Dark chocolate is the least sweet and has the strongest chocolate flavor.
Today chocolate is often used in cakes, ice creams, puddings, candies and so on. It is popular with people, especially the young. However, according to a report, chocolate could not be seen any more in the year of 2050. It may disappear because of higher temperatures and drier weather conditions. Some scientists have begun to work hard to save the cacao trees.
