11、n human-like bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a persons shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches hig
12、h, 3.5inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone, speaker, and internal camera allow it to communicate. Its even equipped with a smile. Kanda and his team collected video form five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related to e
13、ach location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice.

14、eers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. “Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion（蒲 公英） seeds into the air?“ The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that when I was a child.“ Although several participants noted the robots weight,

Nothing succeeds like success, as every parent of a straight-A student knows, but trying to highlight academic excellence by telling your child, “Youre so smart,“ may be counterproductive
20、（负效的） . Telling kids theyre smart strengthens the idea that intelligence is a genetic gift rather than a skill that can be developed. In a recent study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123 children who were about 7. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a “g
21、rowth mindset（思维模式） “ (believing that you can work harder to get smarter), or a “fixed mindset“(believing that your intelligence is unable to change). They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded. In the task, children played a
22、game, helping a zookeeper capture escaped animals by pressing the space bar when an animal showed up in their screenunless it was a group of three chimps. During the recording, researchers noted that brain activity spiked within a half-second after making a mistake, as children became aware of their
23、 error and paid closer attention to what went wrong. The larger the brain response, the more the children focused on the error. Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a “growth mindset“ were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mista
24、ke, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error. For parents, the lessons are clear: dont pay compliments(赞扬) that suggest that intelligence is fixed. If a child hands you an A+ test, dont say, “Youre so smart!“ Instead say,
25、“Wow, that studying really paid off!“ Note the effort, not the intelligence. Second, focus on using errors to work together and learn. “Many parents and teachers shy away from addressing a childs mistakes, telling them “Its OK. Youll get it next time.“ without giving them the opportunity to figure o
26、ut what went wrong.“ Dr. Schroder says. Here are additional ways you can help enhance your childs education. 1. What can learn about childrens mindset from the study? A.

Forget about it.“ for a mistake. 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Never Call Your Kid Smart B. Always Be Strict
29、with Your Kid C. How to Communicate with Your Kid D. How to Comment on Your Kids Performance 二、七选五 4.
