This year's annual meeting of robots was held last month in Paris，France.
A very special event was the robot cookery class. I think all the robots especially enjoyed the Italian cookery class—robots from Italy taught everyone how to make delicious pizzas and spaghetti. It was great fun!
The title of "Most Beautiful Robot" went to Electrica Robottie from India. She needed to travel a long way to get to Europe，but she was pleased to be at the meeting in Paris. After dancing, beauty arid intelligence tests，the judges agreed that Electrica Robottie was the winner of this year's competition.
Next was the competition for the strongest robot. Robots from around the world carried cars and ran long distances to show us their strength. All the robots did very well. This year, the strongest robot was Techo Tim from Germany. He is 190 cm tall.
In order for us all to see the new types of robots this year, there was a new robot show on the final day of the meeting. We saw robots from China with digital cameras inside them. We also saw a new type of robot from Switzerland—it is powered by solar batteries(太阳能电池).
The president of the International Robot Society，Kim Pyoota from South Korea，closed the meeting by thanking all the robots for coming to Paris.
"This year's annual meeting is a great success ! " President. Kim said，"And hope to meet you all again in Sydney, Australia next year! "
On December 14，2017，we were sorry to hear that Yu Guangzhong, a famous poet died of illness in Taiwan. He was born in Nanjing in 1928. His mother's hometown is in Wujin，Changzhou. So he called himself a southern person.
Later, he went to Taiwan. In 1952 he graduated from Taiwan University. Then he graduated from University of LOWA in 1959. He taught at Soochow University, Normal University, Taiwan University , and Chengchi University. He got a lot of prizes in literature(文学)，such as.Wu San lien Literature Prize, China Times Award, Golden Tripod，National Arts Award and all the major(主要的)Awards in Taiwan. He is famous both in Taiwan and in Mainland.
He was in Taiwan, but he always missed his hometown in Mainland. In one of his poems Nostalgia(乡愁) ，he showed his feeling of homesickness. Let's enjoy his famous poem Nostalgia.
Nostalgia
When I was young， But later on,
Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp. Nostalgia was a low，low grave.
Me on this side， Me on this side，
Mother on the other side. And my mother ;inside.
When I grew up， And at present，
Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket. Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait.
Me on this side， Me on this side，
Bride on the other side. Mainland on the other side.
As one of "China's new four great inventions"，China's high-speed rail eyes the world again with Fuxing. It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is totally designed and produced by Chinese engineers without any help from the West.
China's high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed，but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion passengers，or the total population of Africa and South America combined.
In 2015，a video taken by a Swedish traveller became popular on social media at home and abroad. In the nine -minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast -running high –speed train. It shows the steadiness(稳定)of China's high-speed train，giving visitors a comfortable travelling experience.
The service on:China's high-speed rail is still improving. The new bullet train plans to increase the height and the Wi-Fi network will cover the whole train. Its air conditioning system is designed to reduce the influence of the external pressure(外部压力)wave when the train is passing through tunnels, easing(缓解)discomfort of ears.
China's high-speed rail also plays an important role in promoting(促进)the Belt and Road Initiative. It will be good for countries along the Belt and Road. It provides a platform to promote global cooperation(合作)in production capacity(生产力)，so it reconfirms China's position as the world's second largest economy.
The rapid development of China's high speed rail in the past five years marks China's increasing strength in technology and innovation. It has become a new symbol，showing China's great progress to the world.
"Disneyland Paris? You're not serious! " said Tim.
"Yes，I am，" said Jenny. "Someone has donated money to the school for a Student of the Year Award. "
Tim，Jenny and William were waiting for morning assembly to start. Everyone around them was talking about the Student of the Year Award.
"How many people can go?"
"I don't know，" said William，shrugging his shoulders. "Two maybe. Don't worry，Tim，if you win，it's OK for you to take me. "
" Not likely, " said Tim.
"That's enough talking，" said Mrs. Barrow. Arkwright School's new Head Teacher was standing on the stage in front of them. "Can I have your attention，please." she said. She was a small woman with a very powerful voice. When she spoke，the children fell silent.
"I'm sure you have all heard about the new Arkwright School Student of the Year Award. Basically，we want you to think of an activity that will be good for both the school and the local community，" said Mrs. Barrow. " Whoever thinks of the best idea for a project will get our Student of the Year Trophy(奖杯)and a family ticket for four people to Disneyland Paris. "
"That's it，" said Tim. "I'm going to be Student of the Year. "
"Yes, you and two hundred others，" said William. The children were all talking now and it was very noisy.
"And，I haven't finished talking yet, thank you，" said Mrs. Barrow. These children laughed and then they were silent again.
"In addition to writing the plan， you actually have to do the project. We want to see results, not just ideas. "
One or two children started to talk again. Mrs. Barrow raised her hand.
"Some announcements. " she said. "Number One. Don't throw litter around the school and especially not in your classrooms. Some of the teachers are complaining. "
"All of the teachers are complaining, " whispered William.
"Sssh," said Jenny.
"Number Two. Please pay at the office if you are going ice skating on Saturday. "
"Brrr. Too cold，" said William.
"William. Shut up ! " said Tim.
"And，Number Three，one important thing from the police. There have been reports of thefts in the Wrightham area，and one of our students has lost his phone. Possibly someone stole it. So please be careful. Report any suspicious behaviour to your class teacher, to me，or to the police， and please don't try to catch the thief yourself. "
"You behave very suspiciously, Tim," said William. "I think I'll report you. "
"Thanks, William," said Tim. "I'm glad I've got a friend I can depend on!".
—It makes me uncomfortable，so I don't need it.
The way we spend our time can be. divided into three groups，or jars(罐子).These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day，we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things，like making money，doing housework，buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important，but we may not enjoy them. If we don't fill them each day，our family won't run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar—the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary, and voluntary tasks，time flies by on some days，and before we know it，it is time for bed.
That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days，I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance(社交舞)class. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week，I was happy to take part in an orchestra(管弦乐队)practice at my church(教堂).At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.
Consider how your time is spent. Try to find ways to achieve a balance. At the end of the day，hopefully we've done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.
