The bicentennial man

Extract
21
Gerald Martin took Andrew to the regional offices of the United States Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation. As a member or the Regional Legislature, he had no trouble at all in gaining an interview with the chief robopsychologist. In fact, it was only as a member of the Regional Legislature that he qualified as a robot owner in the first place - in those early days when robots were rare. Andrew did not understand any of this at the time, but in later years, with greater learning, he could review that early scene and understand it in its proper light. The robopsychologist, Merton Mansky, listened with a growing frown and more than once managed to stop his fingers at the point beyond which they would have irrevocably drummed on the table. He had drawn features and a lined forehead, but he might actually have been younger than he looked. Robotics is not an exact art, Mr. Martin, Mansky explained. I cannot explain it to you in detail, but the mathematics governing the plotting of the positronic pathways is far too complicated to permit of any but approximate solutions. Naturally, since we build everything around the three laws, those are incontrovertible. We will, of course, replace your robot. Not at all, said Sir. There is no question of failure, on his part. He performs his assigned duties perfectly. The point is he also carves wood in exquisite fashion and never the same twice. He produces works of art. Mansky looked confused. Strange. Of course, were attempting generalized pathways these days. Really creative, you think? See for yourself. Sir handed over a little sphere of wood on which there was a playground scene in which the boys and the girls were almost too small to make out, yet they were in perfect proportion and they blended so naturally with the grain that it, too, seemed to have been carved. Mansky was incredulous. He did that? He handed it back with a shake of his head. The luck of the draw. Something in the pathways. Can you do it again? Probably not. Nothing like this has ever been reported. Good! I dont in the least mind Andrews being the only one. I suspect that the company would like to have your robot back for study, Mansky said. Not a chance! Sir said with sudden grimness. Forget it. He turned to Andrew, Lets go home, now.

THE LIFE OF A TEEN INVENTOR

By Caitlin Watson of Verde Magazine
Spencer Davis creates all types of inventions in his garage. He is a big fan of do-it-yourself inventing, which requires little more than a few pieces of trash, drugstore supplies, and a lot of imagination. Spencers passion for inventing began in eighth grade. Before that, he had done some experiments with barbecue skewers and rubber bands. Since then, his creations have improved in design, appearance, and technology. Over the years, Spencer has designed bunkers, tree houses, robots, and caffeinated cereal. Besides, Spencer also enjoys sillier types of inventing; he has fixed an old tape player to put his iPod inside and play it through the tape. Another high-voltage creation is what Spencer calls the glove. In essence, it is a leather glove with a battery and disposable camera parts wrapped in electrical tape.
Although Spencers mother expresses some worries about his inventions, she is very supportive of Spencers hobby. For him, inventing is a constructive activity and its good for teens who might be involved in more destructive hobbies. He dedicates about six hours every weekend to work on his inventions. Then, he blows off steam and gets new inspirations by playing video games. For the summer, Spencer has plans to build an electric boat powered entirely by solar panels. Spencer hopes to continue inventing through college and perhaps turn his experimentations into a career. Inventing is an investment, Spencer says. Some of the inventions will work and others wont, but in the end, you will be satisfied. Ill definitely be making stuff forever.

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone; It's easy to feel like you dont need help, But its harder to walk on your own. Chorus You'll change inside when you realize The world comes to life and everythings bright; From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side That helps you to find the beauty you are; When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend, The gift of a friend Someone who knows when youre lost and youre scared, And theyre through the highs and the lows; Someone you can count on, someone who cares, Beside you wherever youll go. Chorus You'll change inside when you realize The world comes to life and everythings bright; From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side That helps you to find the beauty you are When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend. And when your hope crashes down Shattering to the ground, you, you feel all alone; When you dont know which way to go And there's no signs leading you home, you're not alone.

Chapter 11 (Excerpt) - The Wonderful City of Oz Dorothy and her friends were dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City. The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble. They walked over pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together, there were rows of emeralds. The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint and the rays of the sun were green. There were many people with greenish skins walking about, all dressed in green clothes. They looked at Dorothy and her strange company with wondering eyes and the children all ran away when they saw the Lion, but no one spoke to them.
l u w f r i e z d n a z o r O w d f o e h T
Dorothy saw that everything in the shops was green. Green candy and green pop corn were offered for sale, as well as green shoes, green hats, and green clothes of all sorts. A man was selling green lemonade and when the children bought it, they paid for it with green pennies. Everyone seemed happy, contented, and prosperous. The Guardian of the Gates led them through the streets until they came to the Palace of the Great Wizard Oz. There was a soldier before the door, dressed in a green uniform and wearing a long green beard. These strangers demand to see the Great Oz said the Guardian of the Gates to him. I will carry your message to him. They passed through the Palace Gates and were led into a big room with a green carpet and lovely green furniture set with emeralds. Please make yourselves comfortable while I go to the door of the Throne Room and tell Oz you are here. When he came back, Dorothy asked: Have you seen Oz? Oh, no, replied the soldier; I have never seen him, but I spoke to him as he sat behind his screen and gave him your message. He said he will grant you an audience, if you so desire, but each one of you must enter his presence alone and he will admit only one each day. Therefore, as you must remain in the Palace for several days, I will have to show you the rooms where you may rest in comfort after your journey.

H2o: Bk:
How did you start out in music? I started quite by accident. I had always sung, in church and in school, and I was asked to be part of the entertainment at a birthday party for a local radio station. Being a teenager, I said yeah! And that was how I started! Kellieg: What inspires you to write? Bk: When I put pen to paper, Ive always got something to say because thats how I feel. When Im writing songs, its about an event that happened to me or something close to my heart. Rachel: I was wondering if you could tell me how you write songs. Bk: Writing what I feel and how I feel is what I write about every day. Rona: What kind of music do you like? Bk: Ah, my musical tastes are very diverse: from Outkast to Fly and Stone, from Prince to Nirvana and Coldplay. I think Alicia Keys is a great artist. I like a little bit of pop as well. Rita: I really want to be a singer and be in films like Harry Potter, but the main thing is I dont know how to achieve my dreams. Bk: Dont worry. It may be that your school or youth club have things like a drama club, a dance class, something like that you can get into. That would be a fantastic place to start, somewhere to build up your confidence and obviously your ability. Then, you can specify exactly what you want to go into, acting, or singing, or dancing. You should try your hand at everything: dance class, drama class. If your schools got a production, it would be always brilliant to get yourself started, get out there in front of an audience. There are always talent scouts about.

UNIT 4
Bullying Isnt Funny

Ive always been funny. Its my thing. Some people get beauty, others sports ability, a lucky few even get musical talent. Me? I cant dance, sing, catch a ball, and no one has called to make me a top model, but I can make people laugh. Being funny is a bit like your own personal super power. It can be used for good or evil. The question is, what do you do with all that power? Sometimes its easy to make fun of someone who doesnt fit in, whos different, or just plain weird. In high school, I had a classmate named Dennis. Dennis was pretty dorky. He had terrible acne and wasnt the best student. He was always trying to fit in, but he never did. Dennis died in an accident. Everyone was shocked and a few of us started to cry. I wasnt crying because I was
BODY AND MIND 39
sad he was gone. I cried because I was ashamed. I knew I could have been nicer. I could have used my humor to turn the situation around on the person making fun of him, but I never did. I laughed at Dennis, not with him. I realized then that being funny comes with responsibility; I had to use it wisely. Bullies arent just the people who shove someone around or the one who makes the snotty comment. Bullies are also the people who stand on the side and laugh. I promised myself I would never feel that shame again. I would use my humor for good, to make people laugh with me, not at someone else. I wanted to be a hero, not a villain. Feel free to join me, the world can always use another superhero, and you dont even have to look good in a Lycra suit.

TEEN PROBLEM PAGE

Abbie, 16 Im trying to study for my exams, but its hard to concentrate for long. I sit on the bed with my books, but then I lie down and fall asleep. And my parents ask me to do things, or my friends call, so I give up studying. Im starting to panic. What should I do? Joe, 15 I secretly like a girl in my class, and I told my best friend. He promised not to tell anyone, but he really let me down. Now the whole class knows, including the girl. They all think its funny, but Im very embarrassed and upset. Should I stop being friends with this guy? He said sorry, but I dont trust him anymore. ANSWERS I. Youd better not tell him any more secrets! But its silly to end a good friendship because of a broken promise. Its impossible for some people to keep a secret, and I bet your friend feels very guilty and sad. You ought to accept his apology. II. Its very normal to be nervous, but you should calm down. Its helpful to have a regular routine - try to study at the same time every day. And youd better tell your friends and family so they dont interrupt you. Sit down to work at a desk or table, and take a break every half hour - get up and do something different for five minutes. Good luck! Priscilla, 15 I always find myself getting really irritable for almost no reason or suddenly I feel down without knowing why. I often go from sadness to anger or to joy in a matter of minutes. I feel as though Im losing my grip. Why do I feel like being on an emotional roller coaster almost all the time? Emma, 16 Im a girl suffering from Bulimia Nervosa. Only a few friends know, but I am not getting anything from them, and sometimes I feel they dont care. I feel very embarrassed to tell my family. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Ive been looking on-line for hours trying to find info on eating disorders, but have come up empty handed. Please help.
III. This serious problem afflicts more than one out of 10 women at some time in their lives and twice as many teens suffer from it. It often involves more complex problems, such as strong emotions, fear, guilt, shame, poor self-image, excessive perfectionism. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, you should tell your family and seek for professional help urgently. IV. Dealing with constant change and pressure is part of the answer. Being a teen means struggling with identity and self-image. To be accepted by friends feels extremely important. You feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can be a time of confusion and conflict. It can take a while for teens - and their families - to feel comfortable with the transition between childhood and adulthood. You shouldnt worry too much.

Eating disorders
Lots of teens are critical of their bodies. Normal concerns about body image can cross the line and become eating disorders when a person starts to do things that are physically and emotionally dangerous - things that could have long-term health consequences. How do you know if a friend has an eating disorder? Some of the signs that a friend may have an eating disorder include: He or she has an obsession with weight and food. He or she knows exactly how many calories and fat grams are in everything that he or she eats. He or she feels the need to exercise all the time, even when sick or exhausted. He or she avoids hanging out with you and other friends during meals. He or she starts to wear big or baggy clothes. Someone who wears baggy clothes to hide their shape might hide other concerns. He or she goes on dramatic or very restrictive diets, cuts food into tiny pieces, moves food around on the plate instead of eating it, and is very precise about how food is arranged on the plate. He or she seems to compete with others about how little they eat. He or she goes to the bathroom a lot, especially right after meals, or you've heard him or her vomiting after eating. Despite losing a lot of weight, he or she always talks about how fat he or she is. He or she appears to be gaining a lot of weight even though you never see him or her eat (people with bulimia often only eat diet food in front of their friends). He or she is very defensive or sensitive about his / her weight loss or eating habits. He or she buys or takes laxatives, steroids, or diet pills. He or she has a tendency to faint, bruises easily, is very pale, or starts complaining of being cold more than usual. If a friend has some of these symptoms, you might talk to him or her, privately, about what you've noticed. Tell your friend that you're worried. Be gentle, and try to be really supportive of your friend and what he or she is going through. If your concerns increase, talk to your parents, the school counselor, or even your friend's parents. It can feel like betraying a friend, but it's often necessary to get a friend the help he or she needs. Being a supportive friend also means learning how to behave around someone with an eating disorder. Here are some ways to support a friend who is battling an eating problem: Try your best not to talk about food, weight, diets, or body shape. Focus on your friend's strengths - that he or she has a great smile, is helpful and friendly, or good at math or art, etc. Try to avoid focusing on how your friend looks physically. Most important, remind your friend that you're there no matter what and you want to help him or her get healthy again.
