learn and remember the names of their 15!
To find out more about this,researchers looked all over the world for16 dogs.
They found six dogs that could17 the names of more than 28 toys.Some of these
dogs 18 knew the names of more than 100 toys!
These dogs then took part in a special challenge called the "Genius Dog Challenge".In
this challenge,the dogs'owners taught19 the names of new toys.The dogs had to
learn six new toy names in one week,and then another 12 new toy names in the next week.
Surprisingly,these dogs found this task quite 20!They easily learned between
11 and 12 new toy names in each21.This is similar to how quickly human babies
leamn new words when their vocabulary starts to explode at around 18 months old.

they were 22one and two months later.This shows that dogs have a great23

Robots are supposed to run on batteries,right?Well not all of them.
Scientists in England have built a kind of small robots that get their energy from dead
flies,bad apples,or sugar.
One robot,called Slugbot,was even designed to hunt garden slugs for dinner!
What's up with all that food?
Well,scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate
for a long time in dark,dirty,or dangerous places.
Many of those spots,like the seafloor or Antarctica,don't have electrical sockets ()
So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea:Build robots that get their energy
just like animals do by hunting and eating food from their environment.

One robot,called Ecobot II,could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies!Of course,it'd
still get a lot more power from one AA battery,though.
Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot,called Ecobot III,
which will have a better digestion(消化)system.
It seems that after an eight-fly dinner,Ecobot Il couldn't deal with the leftover (
t"waste'”,
Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys,girls,and robots.

"When I was at primary school,I put my shoes on the wrong way round.I didn't notice but
my friends did."-Max,aged 13.
."I said to a friend that my teacher looked like a lion with her new hairstyle,and then
realized the 'lion'was right behind me."-Ella,aged 12.
Have you ever experienced such moments?Embarrassment is a feeling that can make you
laugh,cry and want to hide forever.Falling over in a shop or accidentally calling your teacher
"Mum"might feel like the end of the world.But not everyone thinks it's a big deal.What feels
terrible to one person might be easily laughed off by another.Whatever you are feeling
embarrassed about,remember that it's natural to feel this way.
Scientists believe embarrassment is a way of teaching us not to repeat mistakes.You feel
embarrassed because you care too much about what other people think of you.Even if you think
everyone saw you with cream on your face,studies show that fewer people notice than you
think.
Embarrassment can't be avoided in our life,so why not learn some tips for dealing with it?
Try making a joke out of it.If something isn't very serious,a joke may help.For
example,you are listening to music so carefully that you walk into the wall.What to do?Say
like "The wall is truly harder than my head!"Laughter can show people that there's nothing to
worry about.
Talk to a person you trust.If someone is making you feel stupid,this is a type of

bullying.Sometimes embarrassment can stop you trying new things.If this happens,it's better
to share your feelings with a person you trust.
Sometimes we're embarrassed when we do something wrong to others.In
that case,try saying how sorry you are and that you regret what happened.Facing the mistakes
bravely can be a first step in moving on.
