I’ve been in Shanghai for weeks and it has all gone by so quick. Now I’m there reflecting on how this experience has helped I better understand Chinese culture. Shanghai has population of over 23 million people, who is more than the population of the top 8 most populated cities in the U.S. combined. All throughout my stay in China, I’ve seen Chinese people wore shirts with English words on them, and heard American music coming from speaker. I’ve felt comfortable in China, and although there were differences, it’s not hard to adjust. Chinese culture is different, so Western culture is too, and in this way, they’re so similar to.

In their ___________, Qomolangma has ___________ her crown. She has become a mountain synonymous with death, exploitation and_____
The most common question I get asked is: “Is it______ in rubbish?” As a United Nations patron( 资 助 人 ) of the wilderness, one of my roles is to_____ back from the Earth’s remaining wildernesses and to act as a___ for the wild.
I climbed Qomolangma expecting a rubbish dump but what I found ___________ me: I _______ saw any litter, from the airport to the summit.
The Nepalese have _______ some huge clean-up campaigns in recent years, perhaps to improve their reputation, but also in response to some tragic natural disasters.

Who can forget their first day of school? Students come into the classroom wondering who their teacher will be for the year.1.Introducing yourself to those students is a big part of that first day.
Pay attention to your appearance.
Dress professionally and make sure you follow any published dress codes applying to students and staff. While you want the students to enjoy their time in your class, you want them to respect you.2.On the first day, putting your best appearance forward can set the tone for the year.
Tell personal interests and hobbies.
3.It helps them identify with you as more than just a teacher. Students may be surprised you have interests after school. Explaining some of your hobbies and interests can give students the chance to interact with you on the first day. Offering these small personal details can make you seem more approachable and will open up to a connection with your students.
Explain classroom rules.
Getting started on the first day by also explaining your class rules and what your class can expect of you is a good way to set guidelines. For example, you could say “I’m easy-going, but I do have some rules that everyone must obey.”4.
5.
If you have time after your basic introduction, ask your new students if they'd like to know anything more about you. After you have answered their questions, ask the class what they have learned about you. For example, ask "What do I like to do in my free time?" By doing that, you're reiterating your introduction, which makes it easier for the students to remember you.
A. Give name details step by step.
B. Invite questions and responses.
C. Tell your class a little more about yourself.
D. Teachers are faced with new students sitting in desks.
E. Continue to remain polite and positive when speaking to students.
F. Dressing in inappropriate clothing can be destructive in the classroom.
G. Keep those rules easy-to-remember if you introduce yourself and the rules together.
Working robots, like the KASRO, are typically big, simple, and strong. They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous and dull jobs. But the growing trend towards collaborative(合作的) robots, or cobots, is transforming robotic use worldwide.
What big companies such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not enough to keep pace with the demand for customized products. Human-robot collaboration was identified as the most suitable strategy. By shrinking robots down to desktop size and equipping them with sensors and AI, the next generation of cobots will feel our presence, learn from us, and cooperate with us better.
“When we have people and machines cooperate, we’re much more flexible and can produce many more products on one production line,” said head of production planning, Markus Schaefer. “The variety is too much to take on for the machines.”
The future of cobot working is likely to change as new ways of interacting are developed. Voice commands are bound to be a feature as natural language processing systems become more widespread. Closer integration( 融 合 ) with machine learning and AI is sure to help realize the benefits of elements such as voice control and machine vision. Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step-change in robot learning.
Cobots will learn directly from human interaction or even from simulations( 模拟) that will help them to adapt to real-world situations. Open robotics platforms, such as Carnegie Mellon University’s LoCoBot or Elephant Robotics’ Catbot, mean that programmers can share the skills they have developed via the cloud.
Importantly, for household robots to become popular, robot learning—where environmental data is gathered to make more ideal decisions— will be needed. Cobot carers, such as ElliQ the companion robot and IKEA’s robotic furniture, promise a bright future of cooperation.
Like any achievable technological dream, such as self-driving cars, their realization is coming soon. Cobots will become standard in the same way that a car’s GPS or the smartphone did. Their integration into society will gradually become normal.
