8、rain. “This never happened before,“ say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming.

Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe.2 Although ind

17、ustrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting and assembling components.3 In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly

18、 because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.4 It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy tha

It has now become less bright so that binoculars (双筒望远镜) are needed to see it. “It seems

Lasers have been observed in other frequencies from a few star
