The story happened on a hot heavy rainy day.
After class, I took a few bottles to go and 36 some water from the water room. Oh! There were so many people! I had to wait 37 the rain. My hair didn't get wet because I wore a hat, but my clothes 38 .
When at last it was my 39 , I filled the bottles as quickly as possible. I began making my way back when I saw a boy 40 towards me. He 41 two umbrellas in his hand. He shouted hello and as he came 42 , I recognized that it was Tom.
He 43 my classmate for nearly three years, but we never 44 more than ten sentences. He was silent, but I liked talking. We were quite 45 people and had nothing in common. I didn't 46 him and even didn't want to see him.
"Hey! What's wrong?" His words 47 me out of my thought. "I saw you 48 in the rain, so I brought you this umbrella. But it seems a little 49 , your clothes are already wet,"
On hearing this, I was so 50 that I couldn't say a single word.
"Don't just stand there. Let's go!" He said and held the umbrella for me. We walked towards 51 and this time we talked 52 .
"I know you don't like me, but I want to 53 with you." he said, "You may think I am silent, but it is because I can't find the right 54 to say."
The rain finally stopped and we saw a rainbow in the blue sky. I said to myself, "It is wrong to 55 someone only by his appearance.

John Perry stood up and looked around again. The island had been a good place to find shells. But now how could he make the move out to sea?If they swam out to sea he could jump in and get to shore they saw him.
He saw the sharks rolling and playing. Their
was now gone and they were killing for fun. How could he make them move away?
He drew his knife from his belt. Sharks can blood，he thought. He put the knife against his leg and cut deep into the The blood ran out and he caught it on his white shirt. When the shirt was red and wet he tied some cloth around his leg to the flow of blood. He then tied a long piece of cloth to the shirt, threw it into the water and it with the piece of cloth.
The sharks smelled the blood and came to-ward the shirt. He ran down the sand reef pulling the shirt and the sharks raced after it. He was them away from shore. Suddenly he dropped the cloth, turned toward the and ran as fast as he could. He jumped in the water and swam.
He was halfway across he turned to look back. A high bony fin (鳍）was
through the water toward him. He put his face in the water and kicked and splashed himself as fast as he could. The shore was near now.
He lifted his head again to and he saw the shore very near. From behind he felt the water rushing toward him, almost pushing him, helping him. And then a great gray body hit him and almost rolled him over in the water. He touched the shore with (15) and he pulled himself up the stones. The shark, by the smell of blood and the chase(追逐），went wildly after him. Its great body crashed against .
The end came quickly and the water was covered with the shark's blood. The injured shark was eaten up by others as it tried to escape.
Perry slowly struggled his feet.
“So，” he said, "you did not get me. ”And he looked down at the sharks still eating they weren't hungry. He climbed up the stones and walked toward the village.

Predictions of many robots in industry have yet come true. For ten years or more, manufacturers of big robots have explained how their machines can make industry more competitive and productive. The maker for robots is oversupplied now, and the driving force of the robotics revolution is to be with the maker of machines that handle a few kilos at most.
"Heavy-robot manufacturers are in some difficulty finding customers. They are offering big just to get in the door. There has been a growth everywhere in the numbers of robots, so we admit we are either deceiving or that the market is slowly growing，" said John Reekie, chairman of Colen Robotics. "The following things must hap-pen the robotics revolution to occur. We must achieve widespread robot literacy. there has been a computer program, there must be a robot literacy program. ，some kind of artificial intelligence needs to be ”
Colen makes educational robots and machine tools. It is small with companies like ASEA or Fujitsu Fanuc. But Colen with others in departments in universities such as Surrey, Manchester, and Dur-ham possesses an advantage the giants. The big companies sell very expensive to businesses with expert knowledge in automation. The companies make robots for teaching people, and now they have realized that there is a need for small， robots that they can meet.
The little companies either bring their educational machines an industrial standard or design from the start. One technique that they all adopt is to choose （18）components where possible. The major cost of making their models is the electronics, which will fall in price. There is scope for reductions in mechanical costs. The use of standard parts，which are easily replaced, should give these robots a mechanical life of something in the order of five years.
