16．　　My father, who was always drunk and angry, beat me more and more every day. He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in this pocket. One day I found an old saw (锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house, I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table. The next day my father said, Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Quickly!Remember, I'm watching you. While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby.
　　A boat!I thought happily, " This is my chance to escape. I'll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on the hole. It was late afternoon when i finished making the hole.
　　I did a good job, I thought, looking at the hole. "Now I'll get my father's gun."
　　I looked outside the window and there was nobody there. I quickly escaped through the hole. Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig. Luckily, I found one. I killed it and took it back to the house and let the pig′s blood fall on the floor. Then I pulled some of my hair and put it on my father's axe (斧子) with some of the pig s blood. I took the pig′s body outside and put it in a big bag with some rocks and threw it into the river.
　　This way people will think ________ I thought. They'll come and look for my body in the river. This idea made me smile. I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jacksons Island. I knew about Jackson's island because Tom. Ben, Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures there. (Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain).

17．　　When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, "But now, it's different," says Nejat. "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready."
　　Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need:care giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
　　Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer s disease (阿尔茨海默病). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding (提醒) the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
　　Some have worried that care giving robots might reduce (减少) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it," says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (自闭症障碍) improve social skills.
　　As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions?Will patients lose interest?
　　"One thing is clear," Scassellati says. "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."

18．　　Imagine this:There's an Apple and a piece of cake on a table which one would you like?The delicious cake or the healthy apple?A bestseller, Willpower Rediscovering Our Great Strength, suggests that will power is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term rather than in the short term.
　　Here is a famous experiment in the book:The Marshmallow Test. In1972, Professor Walter Michel tested the willpower of 600 four－year－old to six－year－old. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow (棉花软糖) on a table in front of them. They were given two choices:they could either eat it or if they waited for fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one and then they could eat both.
　　So, what did the kids do?Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within fifteen minutes. But the other 30% controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow But then Michel also discovered something really interesting Twenty years later he found that those who'd shown strong will power were getting better marks at university and were more popular.
　　Willpower is like a muscle (肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. So, if you do daily self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon. Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you have to do lots of things that need willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat. That way, you'll build up your willpower again.
　　And one last thing the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!
