Receiving money makes me uncomfortable.
People _____ many books about “the art of giving”. How about the art of receiving? Sometimes, it can be hard to receive a gift, _____ when you get a gift you don’t want.
“I remember at the age of about twelve years old, my parents _____ a purple purse for me,” laughs Guo Xiaojing. “It really _____me, to tell the truth, the purse was really ugly in my opinion! However, I pretended _____ it as I knew it would make my parents happy.”
Han Ling, the twenty-year-old girl agrees. “That _____ me of my grandparents. _____ years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater _____my birthday. _____ I visited them, I used to wear it. But I would _____ as soon as I left their house. Of course, this made me feel guilty. It was a very nice thought, but my taste is totally different from _____ . I think it’s difficult to buy clothes or other personal things for people.
_____ make things more difficult, some people _____ give money. However, in some cultures, people may feel uncomfortable _____ money. “When I get money from someone as a gift, I just feel they are being lazy,” says John Wilson from England. “We also have a saying: It’s the thought that counts. When someone gives me money, I don’t think they thought at all. I really like to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I don’t mind if the gift is what I don’t need. I’m always happy that someone has thought about a gift for me.”

The term “bionic man” came from The Six Million Dollar Man which was a popular TV show in the U.S.A. in the 1970s. It was a story about a former astronaut whose body was rebuilt by using artificial (人造的) parts after he nearly died. Now, a team of engineers has made a robot by using artificial organs(器官), limbs and other body parts that comes close to a true “bionic man”.
The parts come from 17 manufacturers (制造商) around the world. “This is the first time they’ve been assembled (组装) together,” says Richard Walker, the director of a robot company. “It’s an attempt to show the development of medical science,” he says.
Walker says the robot has about 60 to 70 percent of the function(功能) of a human. It stands six-and-a half feet tall and can step, sit and stand with the help of a walking machine. This kind of machine is used by people who have lost the ability to walk. It also has a functioning heart that beats and circulates artificial blood(血液). Its blood carries oxygen just like human blood.
Although the parts are used in the robot work, there is a long way to go. There are some key parts missing. There’s no liver, skin or brain for the robot.
