They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained
16、 to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station. Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, the milking is complete. The gate is opened,
17、the cow is released and the next cow enters.The robotic systems are designed to operate twenty-four hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked about three times a day on average. Some are milked four to six times a day.The cows wear collars around their necks so
18、 that the system can identify them. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass
19、the tests.Once trained, the cows no longer require human assistance, unless something goes wrong. The system is programmed to notify the farmer if there is a problem.Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers.

Others say it provides more time for the family to be together. They say home offers a be
61、tter place for learning. Some parents believe home-schooling avoids problems of traditional schools. These include classes that have too many students. Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children.They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education.
62、 53 Some states do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children. Other states have more requirements for home-schooling. Home-schooling in the United States began when the country was established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home-schooling t

It s possible that being positive helps the body fight illnesses. 2 In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and livel
68、y were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms. 3 Those findings were interesting, but they didnt prove that a person s attitude affects whe
69、ther he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still possible that a persons underlying personality is what matters. 4 Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that
70、 who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds. 5 To figure out which mattered more, personality or emotions, the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, dif
71、fered depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight. 6 Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who ha
