A young man wanted to buy the robot. （3）But he was surprised that Mr.Green was selling it for so much money. Is it different from other robots？Instead of asking Mr.Green why he wanted so much money，he decided to speak to the robot.

   "There is no doubt about it，" said the robot.

3．An Oklahoma teacher is being praised because she has taught her students a special lesson that they will not soon forget.
   Karen Loewe has been teaching seventh and eighth grade students for over 22 years.But recently one of her classes was the most powerful.She decided to try a new exercise with her students called "The Emotional Baggage （情感包袱） Activity".During the class，she asked students to write some emotional baggage of their own without names on the paper.They could describe their issues as freely as they wanted.Then teenagers were asked to take turns reading what their classmates wrote，and all of them were given a chance to discuss the writing.
   "I'm here to tell you，I have never been so moved to tears by what these teenagers wrote and shared with the class，" Loewe wrote on the Internet. " The students who read and listened to the articles cried because what they were reading and listening to were moving.The students who shared them would cry sometimes，too.I strongly believe that my kids will criticize a little less and love a little more." And Loewe's students have clearly been so much more respectful to each other.
   Since writing about her exercise on social media，Loewe's post has been shared more than 500，000 times.Teachers from all over the world have reached out to her about performing similar activities in their own classrooms.Loewe keeps all the articles in a plastic bag so that her students won't soon forget their exercise.Loewe wrote on her post， "I will leave the bag at the door.As they leave，I tell them they are not alone，they are loved，and we have each other's report."
