Kids have unbelievable imaginations. We asked one hundred kids how robots might help them learn better. This is what they thought.
Roberts can make learning fun
Kids dreamed robots would make learning fun. One 9-year-old boy in Germany says, "When I get home, my robot helps me with my homework. My mother and father came in and said 'no video games now, homework first'. When they saw that I had finished my homework, they'd be surprised".
Robots take care of the dirty work
Dirty dishes? No problem. A quarter of kids surveyed imagined that their robots could do chores and boring work so that they might be freed up.

Robots are cool
An 8-year-old girl in the U.S. imagines that her robot is "really smart and everyone likes to talk to her. She has a funny voice, but we do not laugh at her."

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased  by 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America,New Zealand,Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly,but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill .
The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce .  Besides,many adult penguins die of hunger.
Widespread  fishing,exploration for oil and oil leaks  also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms  in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies,including wild dogs,sharks,seals and sea lions.
News about penguins is not all bad,however. Several years ago,oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild.  Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

<options>:
A can swim better than fly

The Chinese tradition of giving gifts of money in red envelopes at Lunar New Year has turned into big business for Web giants Alibaba and Tencent, which now both offer electronic "hong bao".
At the end of each lunar year, it is common in China to give children hong bao -- some money in envelopes that are red, the colour of success. But now theold also take part in this activity.
It is now possible to exchange "red envelopes" with smartphone, which is popular in China and has caused a battle  for the _ market between the two companies providing the service, Tencent and Alibaba.
"You don't have to pay the same cost or wait as long as you would for a traditional bank transfer . It's more convenient, simple and fun," Wang Le, a 28-year-old Beijinger, told AFP. " With electronic red envelopes, you're not limited by your identity  or the time of year. It's a new, fresh way of playing the game."
The idea was introduced in 2014 by WeChat, a mobile messaging system with over 400 million users and run[:**]by Tencent, China's largest Internet service system. It was successful at once.
This year, Alipay Wallet , the payment system run by Alibaba, is ready to take on the competition. It is allowing its 190 million users to send digital gifts, especially on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo.
For the past few weeks a digital battle has been terrible, with Tencent banning  Alipay from sending red envelopes on WeChat, saying they were at a risk. Recently, WeChat also blocked  Alibaba's music app Xiami.
To attract the public's attention, the two companies have launched lotteries through which they award red envelopes to users in an online game.
It's easy to send and receive hong bao or take part in the lotteries: you simply need to register  your bank details.
According to market research group iResearch, Alipay controls 82.6 percent of the Chinese mobile phone payment market, compared to 10 percent for Tencent's Tenpay.
