   Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington D.C. He is one of the 250 mail carriers in the United States.

   Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One is that he does not forget details. He knows each child’s name, the parents’ names and what each child knows and needs to know. In addition(另外), he knows each child’s pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes. Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification number. His computer brain puts the child’s voice and number together. He identifies the child without mistakes. Then he starts the lesson.

   Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If children need more time to do their lessons, they can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachim’s lesson over and over again. When the children do a good job, he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children switch Mr. Leachim off.

　　BALTIMORE－When 15-year-old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn’t have been prouder．On his feet, thanks to his mother’s hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordans－＄100 worth of leather, rubber and status(身份)that to today’s youth are the Mercedes-Benz of athletic footwear．The next day it was James David Martin, 17，who was walking down the street in Thomas’ new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school．

　　Martin was arrested(逮捕)for murder．

　　For the Baltimore school system, Thomas’ death was the last straw．He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years．Dozens of others had been robbed of brand-new sneakers, fashionable jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry．

　　This fall, the school board announced a dress code preventing leather shirts and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items．Joseph Smith, Board President, said, “Clothes have just gotten out of control”．Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree．They say that today’s youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes concerned(關(guān)心)．They worry about them, compete over them, pay no attention to school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them．

　　In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said．In response, many public schools, mainly in eastern cities, have used school uniforms to cut down on competition．Educators say, in the present fashion climate, dressing students alike allows them more freedom to be normal individuals．

When we got to her house she found that she'd lost her key. So, I waited in the cab with the dog while she climbed up the window.” “I waited … and waited … After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb up the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought that I was trying to rob the house! Luckily, the woman came downstairs, she'd gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog. I was in such a hurry to get away that I forgot to ask her for the fare(車資，車費).”?
