9、e, helps you put away your school stuff (东西), and reminds you to text your cousin happy birthday. And thats before he helps you with your homework.This is your future, and it all starts with a knee-high robot called NAO (pronounced NOW).

10、, and even learns and thinks for itself. Its creators predict that the state-of-the-art robot could be a companion at home by the year 2040.This $16,000 robot recognizes human facial features, so it knows who you are. NAO can evenexpress emotions. It represents the new generation of “autonomous” or
11、self-guided robots. These robots can sense, think, and act. Other robots might do two out of the three.

16、 cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (我在故宫修文物) does not just focus on the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary movie, which came out on in Chinese cinemas Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers (修复者) of relics and antiquities (古董). The stories are to
17、ld at a slow and leisurely pace, reflecting the restorers work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring.

A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work require not only skill, but also faith and
19、spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness all these qualities come form thecraftsman spirit.” But unlike the popular idea of stuffy (古板的) experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enth
