If you have ever been disappointed because you don't have a good gardener,the clever
robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants.
The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the
potted(盆栽的)plant that it carries on top of its head.Using light and heat sensors(传感
)the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight.If the house plant
needs more sun,the Hexa will walk into the sunlight;and if the house plant is getting too
hot,the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light.The Hexa Plant will even
do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.
The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a
dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014."Plants only receive an action
without responding,"Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post."Whether they are being cut,bitten,
burned or pulled from the earth,or when they haven't received enough sunshine,water,or
are too hot or cold,they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them."
According to Sun Tiangi,for billions of years,plants have never experienced movement
of any kind,not even the simplest movement.In their whole lives,they stick to where they
were born.Sun Tianqi continued,"Do they want to break their own settings or have a
tendency()towards this?I do not know the answer,but I would love to try to share
some of this human tendency and technology with plants.With the help of the robot,plants
can experience the move.
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale,though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot

our household plants.

Fascinating Venice
Located in the northeast of Italy,Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures,
romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience.The city spreads out over 118
islands,which are linked by more than 400 bridges,in the Venetian Lagoon.
Venice's historical center consists of six regions.Italy in the south,the busiest main
regions,are linked by the Rialto Bridge.The famous stone arch bridge crosses Venice's
main waterway-the Grand Canal.When night falls,many tourists enjoy dinner at the
outside rabies by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St.Mark's Basilica,a must-see.Inside,
beautiful mosaics(攘嵌图案)tell stories of Bible figures.Nearby are the Doge's Palace and
the Bridge of Sighs.These were made famous by Lord Byron,"I stood in Venice on the
Bridge of Sighs,a palace and prison on each hand."The story has it that if a couple passes
under the bridge,their love will last forever.
In the square outside the Basilica,lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian,regarded
as the oldest coffee house in Europe.Charles Dickens,Henry James as well as Lord Byron
enjoyed the drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city's museums.They can
view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni,Titian and Tintoretto.
On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon,Murano has been home to glass makers
since 1291.Tourists can visit factories,studios and the Glass Museum.Glass artists
produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art.
Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass.
The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace making and colorful houses.Looking at the
colorful houses and kaleidoscopic(万花简似的)streets makes people feel as if they were
walking in the fairy tale.
The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds,and it definitely lives up to its
promise.

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren.
Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars.Since
our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car,I sat out that one and
headed down to take pictures of them.
As I waited for them to drive by,I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked
to be about 7.They rolled down the hill,and then as they neared where I sat,the car
shook a few times and then stopped.
The young driver looked frightened,"I can't do it."
His father quietly said,“Yes,you can..”
“No,Ican't!”
“Yes,you can..”
The little boy was almost in tears,“ICAN'T!”
With deep patience,the father said,"Son,you can do this.I'm going to help you."
Then he talked him through starting the car.And moments later with the father
helping his son,the two went smoothly on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my
father had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the
way,I'dsay,“Ican't do it..”He'd reply,“You can.”Time and time again he patiently
encouraged me on the journey.And just like that little boy's dad,my sweet father would
say,"Michelle,you can do this.I'm going to help you.
That's where the true strength comes in.I can't do things under my own power,but
when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom()and strength,there's no way
I can fail.

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.16 Do you want to be a
good public speaker?Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too
often,when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the "public"at the expense of the
"speaking."17 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and
make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who
cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People's attention wanders constantly.
In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message.So,don't stop
speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one.18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19 And like everything else in life,
that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a
consistent basis.
20 It's rare to hear someone say,"I wish that speaker had spoken longer."On the
other hand,you probably can't count the times that you've thought,"I'm glad that talk is

For as long as her parents can remember,11-year-old Breana Carsey has had this crazy
dream.She has always wanted a mommy horse who would give birth to a baby horse,who
would then grow up to become a racing champion.
"Absolutely,this was a fairy tale for her from day one.We put it off for five years
because we don't have a farm,"said her father,Brian Carsey,who explained that his
daughter has“me wrapped around her finger..”
Her horse was born in the spring of 2013.Breana named it MJB Got Faith for the faith
she instantly had in him.
"I really loved him.He's super soft too,"she said.But that quick bond posed a real
problem for this dad.See,for whatever reason,Brian thought once he explained to his
daughter that her horse could never run in a race-that it was a runt from poor breeding
stock-she would just agree to sell it.
"She thought her horse was priceless,"he said."So I had a chat with my wife and we
really got ourselves in a mess here.And I didn't know how we were going to get out of
this.So we took him to the races,the horse that I thought we should have got rid of
already.”
Brian was stuck,committed to boarding and training this long shot to end all long
shots.And this is not a wealthy family.Brian runs a small company.And Ohio racing,
which is harness-style racing,is a 900 million-a-year industry.
MJB Got Faith was so slow that it was barely even qualified to compete but then
somehow won his first race,then his second,third and fourth qualifying him for the state
championship held in Columbus,Ohio.
"And I said to my daughter,'If you finish third,you should be so thankful,'"Brian
remembered."She said,'Daddy,if he finishes last,I'm going to be thankful.But he's going
to win..’”
Paragraph 1:
This little horse won an important match.
Paragraph 2:
Her dad now has a racehorse whose name is Steve Hartman.
