Do you ever feel no one really understands you?Well,"Pepper",a robot could change all that.Pepper is the first robot to read human's feelings.Using its emotional recognition,Pepper can react to people when it is close to them﹣making jokes,dancing and even singing in Japanese.

"Just because you can't see something,that doesn't mean it's not there."This old saying is quite meaningful for British sculptor(雕刻家) Willard.The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin.You can see them clearly only through a microscope(显微镜).
Many people want to own his art pieces.He's been honoured by the Queen of England for his great art achievements.At every one of his exhibitions,the question is always the same.How does he do it?
The answer is very,very carefully.So carefully,in fact,that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths.Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates.To paint his works,he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush.
Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process,and itisn't always enjoyable."It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish," he says.A single item can take at least several weeks to complete.
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time.His interest in creating small things began when he was five.He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants.Willard was not a strong student.He had difficulty in reading and spelling words.Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small,so focusing on lite things helped him to feel big.The smaller his work got,the bigger he felt.A newspaper reporter said, "Willard has shown the world that he is special.Though_______ , he___________."
