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. 71．What mentioned in this passage is really .
