These events will highlight（亮点）the wonderful world of science. The announcement of the winners will take place at the awards ceremony(典礼)on Friday afternoon. Several of the other events are listed below.
Meet a Robot!
Can people and robots work together? The answer is “Yes”. Scientists will be at the fair on Thursday October 30, with Modo. Modo is a robot helper being developed to help people with jobs they do. Let’s learn how Modo’s large blue eyes are able to “see” things. Watch Modo take and hold objects and move them from side to side. Then see how Modo puts the objects on a shelf. Touch Modo on the arm. Watch what happens! It will respond to your touch. If you push it too hard, it will say, “Ouch”!
Our Own !
As is known to all, William Shakespeare is well-known to almost all writers while Thomas Edison is familiar to the inventors. Here comes our local Thomas Edison. Make sure you’re in the gym at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. That’s when local genius Ray Allen will give a talk about his life as an inventor. He will also show what his inventions can do.

With the development of technology, smartphones are widely used among people.71. We can find many people playing mobile phones in the buses, restaurants and supermarkets. We call these people Phubbers(低头族).
Many teenagers spend too much time playing games, listening to music and sending messages to their friends on the phones. 72.他们没有足够的时间来学习. Some teachers complain that their students get worse grades than before.
73.Playing mobile phones too much is not only bad for their study but also their health. The more they play mobile phones, the more tired they will feel. Some students have to wear glasses, because they play smartphones too much. 74.So some teachers don’t allow the students to use mobile phones at school.
We often see many phubbers using their mobile phones on the streets. It’s really dangerous.
75.为什么不远离你的手机呢？You should study hard and take part in more outdoor activities instead of playing mobile phones in your free time.
