18、mall talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a persons shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, and is 3.5 inches wide and 10 inches long. A microphone, a speaker, a
19、nd an internal camera allow it to communicate. Its even equipped with a smile.Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate vis
20、ual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say，“In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked.”They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about
21、26 years old. “Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion (蒲公英) seeds into the air？” The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that when I was a child.” Although several participants noted the robots weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience stra
22、nge or funny. “I guess people enjoy new technologies,” he said.Just like a human partner, Kandas bot isnt perfect. Its not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it cant really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda wa

26、ve a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that.According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second-born boys are more likely than first-borns to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger b
27、rothers or sisters sprites.Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling (兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second-born boys are 20 to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If youre the second-born child, you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The r
28、eason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mothers maternity leaves(产假).

Speaking to NRP, co-author Joseph Doyle said, “The first-born has role models, who are adults. And the secon
30、d, later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds, you know, their older siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations,
31、even against laws. Its just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.28.What does the underlined word “sprites” in paragraph 2 probably mean?Alosers.
