Mark Quin is trying to make the world happy—one person at a time. He hit upon the idea after studying how a person's happiness could be 【1】(影響）by social media(媒體）. Instead of just thinking about his own happiness, he wondered if there was a 【2】 (秘密的)way to make people around the world happy.

Quin turned to something he 【3】(他自己) loves. "All my life I've been taking photos," he says, "and for the past 【4】(七) years, I've spent a lot of time making scrapbooks(剪貼簿)filled with photos, 【5】（明信片),tickets…It gives me such joy to look back on these. I just thought-maybe I could create an online scrapbook that everyone could 【6】(分享）in. "

From his idea came the book The Happiness Scrapbook. Quin travelled in America taking pictures and asking people the 【7】(相同的）question: what makes you happy? "I've got photos and answers from strangers, friends, family, as well as others who 【8】（清楚地）have something to say," he says.

Quin hopes to start a 【9】 (網(wǎng)站)or a book, which can be something for people to turn to when they are 【10】(充滿的）of sadness. That idea makes me more than just happy," says Quin.

How to Get Children to Stop Touching Their Faces

Kids seem like they're always touching everything in their environment, from tables and chairs to doors and stairs. Since those surfaces may hold germs(細菌), you can help your child avoid illness by encouraging them not to touch their face throughout the day.

【1】 Once your child is about 3 years old, you can begin having conversations with them and avoiding germs, including the importance of washing their hands and how touching their face can spread germs to their nose and mouth. While just knowing this information probably won't help them break the habit, it can help set the groundwork.

【2】 If you don't want to criticize(批評)your child when they forget, it is important to remind them when you see them with their hands around their face or mouth. Sometimes, just knowing that they're doing it will be enough to help them stop doing it.

【3】 It can be hard to remember sometimes, but look for chances to let your child know when they're doing a good job of keeping their hands away from their face. Encouraging words can be a really powerful motivation(動機)for kids to keep trying when they're learning something new.

【4】 Children often touch their faces or mouths without thinking about it. Many times, it's just because they're bored and they're looking for a way to excite themselves. If you think that might be the case, try giving your child a toy they can hold onto.

The passage is most probably chosen from the part of 【5】in a newspaper.

A.Point out any time you see your child touching their face.

B.Health

C.Offer your child something they can hold.

D.Explain why it' important if your child is old enough.

E.Praise your child when they aren't touching their face.

F.Encourage your child to wash their face carefully.

G.Sports

A group of about 20 knee-high robots recently has come out on the sidewalks (人行道) of the nation's capital. Their tasks are to bring take-out food from restaurants to hungry customers at home while keeping the delivery cost to around a dollar.

The robots are European, created in Estonia by a company called Starship Technologies. Each of them is a middle-sized cooler on six wheels, and drives at an average (平均的) speed of about 4 miles per hour, about the speed of a walker. It has lights and a tall, bright orange flag so that it can be noticed by people on the sidewalk.

Here in Washington, Starship has teamed up with Postmates, the online delivery service, and the robots already are completing deliveries around the city. They move almost silently. They are electric, so there isn't much sound, except for their wheels. Their cameras recognize a lot-including traffic lights and stop signs.

The robots have only been in Washington for about a month, and they're still causing quite a stir (轟動), often getting stopped for photos. A young mother Maria Garcia is on the sidewalk, pointing out the robot to her daughter. "It's super cool," she says, "But the only thing that makes me worry about-is it going to put people out of jobs?

The company does not see robots as a replacement (代替), says Russell Cook, the director of Postmates. "We have people that drive cars, walk, and bike, and we see robots as another type of vehicle that helps us to offer deliveries," he says.
