34、d effect on nursing home residents. Dr. Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home-assistance robot. “If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions,” he said. To test whether residents responded better to

35、 Sparky, a trained dog, or the Sony-made robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in St. Louis. One group had weekly 30-minute one-on-one visits with Sparky; another group had similar visits with AIBO; a control group had no contact

36、 with either dog. The groups respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits. After two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached. Most of the elderly regarded Sparky,

37、a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator Marian Banks. “He listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him,” said Banks, who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago.

38、O took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature. Over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him.

43、ck for mourning while Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对 立)with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University if California, Berkeley, a

47、ind the truth, , or maybe there isnt any.” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added. In s

48、tudies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “non-compromising, blaming one side usually the mother for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise” in dealing with the conflict.
