21、Staying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”

Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings

Choose silence instead of blurting out “in-the-moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.

Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect the other person enough to hear what they have to say.

Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.

Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can start the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s best to just observe and learn.

Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fool’s argument. As some squabbles(口角) will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.

However, there will be times in your life where you will need the power of your voice,the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated.

24、   If you grew up watching the Jetsons, the idea of having a robot helper that cleans and cooks for your family has always been a fantasy. People want to have a robot do the housework and the good news is that great minds are working on it.

Elon Musk announced back in June that his OpenAI robotic institute was working on developing software that would enable off-the-shelf robots to do household chores and various other engineers are working on robots that could accomplish cleaning and organizing tasks. The bad news is that experts say not to expect these robots in our homes any time soon.

“Cleaning is different from other tasks we’ve thought about in robotics, which typically involved manipulating objects, or moving them place to place.” said Maya Cakmak, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, to MIT Technology Review.

Cakmak said that to accomplish household chores, robots have to know the fight tool for each specific task, the right angle to hold each tool, how to move it, how much pressure to use, how fast to move and more. Think about the variety of tools and techniques you use just to clean your kitchen. It’s much more complicated than just lifting objects and moving them.

Cakmak is teaching robots in her lab through demonstrating cleaning techniques for the robot’s vision system. The robot then imitates the cleaning motion .The goal is to get the robot to learn the correct cleaning motion and for it to be able to determine if the surface is clean after the action.

Even when that is accomplished, there’s a long way to go. In order for a robot to clean an entire house, it would have to be able to fully understand its environment and make decisions based on the state of each room—something that is beyond the current abilities of artificial intelligence. Cakmak says that she believes houses will also have to be redesigned with machines in mind so that robots can better identify their position within a home and move around in it.

【1】How can we describe about household chores for robots?

A.Complex and demanding. B.Simple and easy to handle.

C.Unusual but easy to manage. D.Dangerous and challenging.

【2】How does Cakmak instruct robots to do cleaning work?

A.By setting an example to them. B.By imitating the cleaning motion.

C.By analyzing their vision system. D.By teaching some specific techniques.

【3】What can we infer about the future of cleaning robots?

A.They’ll reach more consumers. B.They’ll help solve housework entirely.

C.They’ll still face many challenges ahead. D.They’ll be equipped with artificial intelligence.

【4】Which is a suitable title for the text?

A.Varied Styles of Cleaning Robots B.Benefits from Possessing Robots

C.Cleaning Robots: A Future New Trend D.Cleaning Robots: A Long Way to Go
