"This is John，" said Mr Turner． The boy standing next to him was tall， with a friendly face． I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs （大拇指） up． That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group． They smiled at him and he smiled back．
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them． I was sure he wouldn't choose me． I wasn't one of the cool kids．
"Hyun， I want you to be John's buddy this term，" said Mr Turner． Me？ I couldn't believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction． Adam and Chen even looked unhappy．
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me． He smiled at me．"Hello，" he said in a confident voice．
"Hello，"I replied， not looking at him．
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me， but John didn't seem to notice．
Finally the bell rang for a break． I had butterflies in my stomach． I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John， and that John would decide that he'd rather be buddies with them．
Sure enough， as soon as we got outside， Adam and Chen swaggered （大摇大摆地走） up to us．
"Mr Turner says you're a good basketball player， John，"said Adam． "How'd you like to play with us at lunch break？ Hyun doesn't know anything about basketball．"
"No thanks，" said John．"I'd rather play chess with Hyun，if he doesn't mind． Mr Turner says he's an excellent player．"
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground． I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging （判断） a book by its cover． I completely misjudged John．

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money．
In San Diego recently ＄ 325，000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments． The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging （摇动） their tails． Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out？
What about AIBO，a robotic pet，developed in Japan？ In Japanese aibou means "buddy"． These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment．They've been used in movies and music videos． Universities have used them for educational purposes．However， in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money． Was it worth a lot of money？
Then there's NAO， a robot which has been developed by a French company．Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans． It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality．It can tell children a story， help in the classroom or the home， or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with．A fully developed one costs ﹩16，000． Is that value for money？ Who can afford it anyway？
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots， but so far I haven't thought of any．

Eight years ago， 1﹣week﹣old Diandian was left behind． When people found her in the reeds （芦苇） of a lake， she looked too weak to survive． Now she is the mother of three milu， thanks to the workers' attention and care at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve．
Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center， where 11 deer， including Diandian， have their families． Li and his workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid﹣May． He remembers March 18 this year． He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual， and moments later when he returned，a newborn milu was right beside her． Since it is her third baby and born in the third month of the year，people named it Sansan， referring to "three﹣three"． Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them． "As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection， people are increasingly aware that milu are state﹣protected animalsm，" Li said．
Milu habitats （栖息地） are usually centered around water， and fishing equipment that used to be a threat to the animals is no longer seen in nature reserves． On May 27， a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake． It takes time and luck to meet one and count them especially when they live in the thick reeds that are 4 to 5 meters tall． The team leader Song， saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009． Since then， he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake． As the flood season is coming， Song and his workmates will go around the lake area day and night to save deer in trouble， and provide feed for the animals when needed．
As the environment improves in and around Dongting Lake， China's second﹣largest freshwater lake， the wetland has become cover once again for wildlife． "We will continue to protect these rare animals and their living environment，" Song said．
