Soon later, when the train reached Wuhan, Dalian 2 to get off, as he was in the special car.3 he was surprised, he didn't want to cause trouble. He got off with just a single bag.
As Wuhan had gone into lockdown (活动限制) because of COVID-19, Dalian couldn't find 4 usual hotel to stay in. At the same time, he wondered 5 here. Feeling at a loss, he 6 a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day and he decided to give it a try.
He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No.1 Hospital. He was responsible for taking out rubbish, sweeping the floor and bringing meals to patients. So he had to have close contact (接触) with the patients, which put him 7 risk. Besides, he was working 12 hours each day at that time and was afraid of getting infected (受感染的) at first.

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they have been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were 1 electric cm on the road than gasoline (汽油) cars. At that time, gasoline was more expensive compared with other fuels (燃料),2 electric cars were more popular.
When gasoline 3 dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. Gasoline cars became more popular 4 , because they could go farther without stopping.
During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it 5 more air pollution. For years, the car makers didn't worry about pollution. They didn't worry about how much gasoline cars used, either. But when people began to 6 that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) cars.
One 7 of solving the problem was a hybrid car (混合动力车), one that ran partly on gasoline and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular because gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went 8 .
An all-electric car uses no gasoline. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). That makes electric cars not so suitable for 9 journeys. Many people art not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to 10 safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When more and more people have these electric cars in the future, a gasoline station may disappear.

When Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked, but few showed interest. "But now, it's different," says Nejat. "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready."
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care-giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patient with Alzheimer's disease (阿尔兹海默症). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care-giving robots might cut down human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it," says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism (自闭症) improve communication skills.
As a field (领域) grows, scientists aim to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest? "One thing is clear," Scassellati says, "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."

, I noticed a little girl. She was sitting by the lake with tears in her eyes. Lots of people passed by but didn't to see why she looked so sad. As I got much , I saw that her back had a strange shape. That's a hump (驼背)! Perhaps that was the reason why people just passed by and made no effort to help.
So I sat down beside her and said, "Hello!" Then she said in a low voice, "Hi," I smiled and she smiled back, shyly. "You see many in the lake. They can't go to sec the larger sea. But they are still swimming happily. Why?" She her head. "Because every one of them unique (独一无二的). They have their parents, brothers, sisters, friends and more. They also know that they only have one life. Time is limited. So they are happy with what they have ! Never regret what you have lost!" She listened carefully and smiled. "Thanks for kind words.
