It helps robots find the best way to keep their balance and complete difficult moves. ④ “Wu BOT” is more than just a show.

This will help you build your confidence in reading.  3.  　　 You don’t have to look up every new word in the dictionary when you read. If the new word is not important for you to understand the story, just guess its meaning from the context. Only look up the key words that stop you from understanding the story.  Third, read the whole story quickly first. Many students read very slowly, and they stop at every difficult sentence. 4.  　　 If you read the whole story quickly first, you can get the main idea of the book, and it will be easier for you to understand the details when you read it again.  Finally, read the story again after you finish it. The second time you read it, you will understand more things in the story. You can also take notes of useful words and expressions, which will help you improve your English. 5.  　　 If you follow these tips, you will find reading English novels is not as difficult as you think, and you can have a lot of fun from it.  A.

People were surprised to see robots dancing so well. However, in 2026, the new show “Wu BOT” took technology to a whole new level. It was not just a dance; it was a breathtaking martial arts show. ② In “Wu BOT”, robots performed Bruce Lee-style moves with students from a famous martial arts school. These robots did things that even many humans find difficult. For example, they performed single-leg backflips and jumped nearly three metres high into the air. They even used “dexterous(灵巧的) hands” to wave wooden staffs(棍) just like real kung fu masters. ③ How did they become so “smart”? Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree Robotics, shared the secret. He said these robots practiced over 100 million times in a computer simulation(模拟) before they stepped onto the real stage. This is called “Reinforcement Learning”. It helps robots find the best way to keep their balance and complete difficult moves. ④ “Wu BOT” is more than just a show. It shows that Chinese robots are becoming faster, stronger, and more flexible. In the future, this technology could make robots work in factories or even help people at home. ⑤ From “Yang BOT” to “Wu BOT”, we can see that the dream of “man and machines working together” is coming true.
