18、sked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer，“No, sir.”Then suddenly, R62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said，“Yes”， a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”“Why do humans create so many robots？” asked R62.Silence followed the question and
19、he then said, “I dont need to answer questions from robots！” He then went into his car and drove away quickly.“I really dont understand why humans replaced themselves with robots, ”asked R62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced than humans.

24、ering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning cond
25、itions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to s
26、ee what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language.
