When he was seventy-five, he gave £ 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground. ‎ ‎ As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson said that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.” He told the newspaperman, thinking of evening glass of whisky.‎ ‎ The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and has a daily injection in his neck.

The robot will be employed mostly at shopping centers and other places popular with visitors.‎ ‎ The robot's face has eyes but no mouth or nose. It stands 165 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. If the robot works well, Dubai says 25 percent of its police force could be robots by 2030. The robot cop(巡警) was officially presented at Dubai's Gulf Information and Security Expo and Conference in May.‎ ‎ The police hope the robot will make life easier for the people of Dubai. Khalid Al Razooqi is Director General of Smart Services at the Dubai Police. He said the robot can help the public every day, and that “it won't ask for any sick leave”.‎ ‎ The robot cannot make arrests (逮捕). But it can recognize faces and compare them to photographs on a criminal database. It can also sense emotions. People can use the robot's touch screen to do things like reporting a crime, paying fines and reporting lost or found things. They can also ask how to get somewhere. The robot can greet and shake hands with people. So far, the robot can speak Arabic and English. It soon will learn other languages such as Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish. In addition to having a touch screen, the robot has a camera that can live stream video to a police command center.‎ ‎ Dubai has plans to add other kinds of robots to its police force. Within two years, the city plans to use a threemetertall robot that can run up to 80 kilometers an hour. The Dubai government says the machine would be the world's largest robot.

If you have dreamed about being a good talker, or you just want to make some change, then listen up! ‎ ‎●Talk slowly ‎ Generally, good talkers don’t rush into a conversation. 31 They act as if they have all the time in the world.

All these details help to leave a deep impression.‎ ‎ ●Express Your emotions ‎ 34 Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional (情感) level that people connect best.‎ ‎ ●Use the best words ‎ The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise (精确的) words to convey your precise feelings or thoughts. 35 It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.‎ ‎ Conversational skills don’t improve just like that.

So Professor Smith, could you explain how it happens?‎ ‎ M: Well, after their highly controlled high school lives, the students were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When asked to describe their high school lives, many of them say they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. Once they entered the university, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to study. They should also take an active part in school activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. They should also spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them enrich their life experiences and thus prepare for their future. To those unhappy students, my advice is to get used to it and learn to make decisions for themselves.‎ ‎·13·‎
