I can still remember
the first day when I met my best friend. I hid
behind my
mother and she hid behind her
grandmother, 36 to look at each other. But we
soon
lost the 37 and started playing with
each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch
with her. She was 38 family problems and I
deserted her to be with the “cooler
people”.
39 of my new friends like her as much as I did
40 they knew she
had “problems”. However,
every summer we would 41 sit at each other’s
house
and watch soap operas and talk about
everything we liked.
It was last year when I
42 the problem. I guessed I was just too busy
to
catch up in high school to realize she 43
someone there for her. Well, she made a
new
“best friend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know
why, but she started cutting herself！
She was
diagnosed with clinical depression（抑郁症. I was very
44 at first,
but with the late night calls,
we still stayed in 45 . I wanted to be there
for her since
her new best friend 46
deserted her, since people were calling her 47
, and I
knew I still 48 her like a sister.
Yesterday she came 49 me and said this, “I
never knew what a best friend
was 50 you
were the only person that would stop me from
cutting; the only person
that ever made me
feel better about myself and my 51 . You don’t
know this but I
was trying to kill myself one
night when you 52 me and I was crying. I 53
you so much, and you didn’t even know you were
54 me.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of
lesson from my life so far is to never 55
your friends.

Imagine a worker who never gets
tired. This employee needs no lunch hours or
holidays. Working 24 hours a day is no
problem. Best of all, he or she is both accurate
and efficient. There are few mistakes and
tasks are finished quickly.
Any manufacturer
would want a worker like this in a factory. Many
more products
could be made and sold if
workers never stopped. That’s why there are more
and more
robots at work today. Robots do a
wide variety of tasks. They weld (焊接), drill, and
paint new cars. They locate underwater
pollution sites. Robots handle poisons. Most of
their work is too dangerous, difficult, or
unpleasant for people to do. By
doing the
dirty work, a robot is a worker’s helper, or aide.
Few robots look anything like people. They are
machine. Like other
pieces of machinery, they
come in different shapes and sizes. The way they
are built depends on the jobs they do. Most
have a single arm that can lift
things. Most
are built to handle tools.
Each robot has a
computer inside it. The computer tells it what to
do.
Skilled technicians enter directions into
this computer. They are trained for this job.
The years ahead may be the era of robots.
People are using them more and more.
Already
robots have explored active volcanoes and the
ocean floor. Modern robots can
maneuver in
space. With their skillful movements, they can
serve satellites that cannot
be reached by
humans. Some new uses will include harvesting
crops and working in
open pit mines. Robots
can help us to live better and learn more about
our world.

If you are
worried about things and are under a lot of stress
at work or school, then
you are probably not
sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing
and turning in
bed until the early hours of
the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When
you
wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but
tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper
article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates
that . Dr. Winkle says, “The more we
worry, the less we sleep, the more we are
unable to deal with stress. If we can find a
way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we
can often find the energy to deal with what’s
worrying us.”
So, what is a good night’s
sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep
which
people need in order to keep healthy
varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average
amount, though strangely enough, sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of
making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle
believes that preparing for sleeping is important.
People who work late
should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful
before going to bed.
This could be watching TV
or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier
in the day
should help you to feel physically
as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can
also
help, but coffee or tea should be avoided
as they contain caffeine and will keep you
awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr.
Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your
muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and
you’ll be asleep before you know it.”
