A young man was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby. The student turned to the professor, saying, "Let us play the man a trick: we will take away his shoes, andconcealourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting."

"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never play jokes on others because of their being poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery changes him."

The student did so, and they both hid themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came back. While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes. Feeling something hard, he bent down to see what it was and found the coin. Surprise was seen on his face. And he looked it again and again and put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin. He then looked up to the sky and said aloud some thanksgiving words to the person who gave him the coins.

The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes were filled with tears. "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understand before, "A small act of kindness brings great joy," he said.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down. They will just leave you alone. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability. Among all of these, I look for understanding in a friend first. A good friend tries to understand how another person feels. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. That is the most important for me.

Also, a good friend needs to be honest. He does not only look for faults（过错）in others but also notices the good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need help, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not get away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our life, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

Industrial robots are on the rise and 5G robots are without doubt the future. Nowadays, a lot of companies are working on perfecting the technology.

Since 2013, China has been the world's largest market for the use of industrial robots. The country believes robots can help deal with the pressure from the rising cost of taking care of plants. According to China Xinhua News, a 5G farming robot has been put to use in greenhouse in East China's Fujian Province. It has been connected to the 5G network to collect information about plants since last week.

With a cartoonish look, the robot named Xiaorui was developed by Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (FAAS) and Fujian Newland Era Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. It has a round base with wheels, allowing it to move in all directions. Its head is fixed with two cameras as the "eyes" and two cameras as the "ears".

The 5G robots can not only collect information about wind, CO2 and temperature but also send real-time pictures and videos about the plants to a control room much faster. According to Zhang Peiqiang, general manager of Fujian Newland Era Hi-Tech Co., Ltd, the information can be used to find out the plants' health condition and pest (害虫) control condition.

"Fast information collecting is just the first step," Zhao Jian from FAAS said. "We expect the robot to be closely connected with the farming process. One day, it may even help people make management decisions".
