Now，it seems that artificial intelligence（人工智能） is becoming more and more popular in life， and it has greatly influenced the ways we live， work and play． Can you imagine that you can play table tennis with a robot one day？

Recently，a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach． That means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot．

Named Forpheus，the smart table tennis robot is quite special． It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball． In this way， it can exactly judge（判断）the players skill levels（KF）． Then it uses the information to change the ways to play． If the players are just beginners， Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way， but if the players are better ones， the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way． What's more， while playing， it encourages players to try their best with words like "Good job!"， "Come on!" and so on． At the same time， it gives some good chance

improve their skills． So it is both a good partner and a clever coach．

A person has two ears but only one mouth． That means we should listen， not just speak． The word "listen" has the same letters as the word "silent"． Listening silently is a good quality that we should have．Then why is it important to be a good listener？

    Listening is really helpful．

    Listening is polite behavior．

    Sometimes， we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others． In fact． That's not polite． In order to show our respect（尊重）for others， we had better listen to them first． Then we can express our ideas．
