Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

30、ons, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.

31、l robots are not just finding their way into the home.

32、ssist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store.

37、lic library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my ey
38、e. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cov
39、er was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bus
40、h, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the bo
41、ok. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I cou
42、ld not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地 ) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud

47、ing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it wa
48、s seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a
49、decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.
