    Do you like blueberries? But maybe you don't know blueberries well.

    Farmers often grow them on bushes(灌木丛) in the field. A blueberry is small and round. Many blueberries can grow on one bush. At first, the blueberries are green. You can't eat the green berries. A lot of sun and rain help them become sweet. When the berries become blue and big, they are ripe and sweet.

    After the blueberries are ripe, people put them into boxes and bring them to stores and supermarkets. People buy the blueberries and take them home to eat. After they wash the berries, they eat them one by one. Some people like to cook with blueberries. They make blueberry muffins(松饼) and pancakes. They like to make blueberry juice. Others like to make blueberry ice cream. It is very cool!

    Preparation is the key to successful travel. In order to have a pleasant trip, you must prepare well before you start off. The most important thing you should do is to pack(把东西装入) your bags with useful things.

     About all, ★. For example, if you travel to another country, you must remember to take your passport with you. You should also take clothes that are suitable for the climate, such as a sweater, a swimsuit, a raincoat and suitable shoes. One more thing, never forget to take some medicine with you in case (以防) you get sick.

    In addition to these things, you should remember to take a camera so that you can take pictures of the places you visit. To keep in touch with your family and friends, you should carry a cell phone, too. It would also be good to carry a directory with all your family's and friends' telephone numbers in it. That way, if something goes wrong with your cell phone, you can still get in touch with them by using a public telephone.

    After a long day's study at school, you are very tired. So after school you go home to relax. When you get home, a robot greets you. He's happy to see you and helps you take your school things to your room. He listens to you talk about your school life and tells you a new joke. And he tells you to call your cousin and to say happy birthday. And then he helps you with your homework.

    This is your future, and the robot's name is NAO. NAO has a small body, big eyes and a large head. He can walk and dance. He listens and talks, and he even learns and thinks for himself. His creators(创造者) predict that the robot will be in people's homes before 2040.

    This $16,000 robot knows who you are. NAO can even express emotions(表达情感). He is a self-guided robot. A self-guided robot can sense(感觉), think and act. Other robots might do two out of the three. For example, a robot might sense things using cameras and think using computers, but with no arms, he can't act. Another robot can move and sense things, but he can't think for himself. These aren't self-guided robots. But NAO can do them all.
