They died within months of each other when she was only six years old. Now 21, her only family souvenirs (纪念品) are some dog-eared photographs given to her by
17、 the grandmother who raised her. “I dont remember anything. I have only these. These are how I know what they looked like,” she said. Lydia became one of Ugandas estimated two million AIDS orphans（孤儿）in 1989. Her father died first in April, her mother in September. “There are many like us. But we we
18、re lucky, we were so lucky,” she added, glancing at her 69-year-old grandmother a few feet away with a smile. “We had someone to look after us and we were not infected.” A United Nations report said that globally the number of children who have lost one or both parents to AIDS had reached 15 million
19、 and would rise to 18.4 million by the end of the decade. The vast majority are in Africa. “It is a tidal (潮汐的) wave of children who have lost one or more of their parents,” Carol Bellamy, the executive director of the United Nations childrens agency UNICEF, told the 15th International AIDS Conferen
20、ce held in Bangkok. “Fifteen million globally, close to 12 million in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The worst could still be to come,” she added. “Far too many will die.”In Africa, the job of bringing up the orphaned children is often left to grandparents. When Lydias father John died, her grandmother Z

24、y a matter of time before they are picking up garbage, taking wedding pictures, and generally taking over the labor market. But will these mechanical employees learn to be polite?Robotic etiquette（礼节）was exhibited this July in California, where robots competed against each other and dealt kindly wit
25、h human life forms. Around 20 robots took part in various tasks during the conference. Carnegie Mellon University exhibited their robot Grace in the Open Interaction Task. This required that Grace work at an information desk where people could ask things like “Where can I get something to eat?” Grac
26、e would ask the visitor about the types of food they like and then give possible restaurant suggestions. On a flat-panel exhibition, her lively face would make expressions appropriate to the conversation. Another entry, Lewisthe robot photographer, was the work of Bill Smart from Washington Universi
27、ty. Lewis walked through the crowds at the conference, recording the event with pictures. Interestingly, Lewis camera doesnt usually require a flash, but “people were annoyed when they didnt know when the robot had taken the picture,” Smart said. So his team set Lewis flash to go off every time, jus
28、t to satisfy the pitiful humans. “Offering these types of social signals is a central challenge in robotic development,” Smart explained. “But a robot takes up the same space as you.” This space sharing requires that the robot show signs of intelligence, otherwise it comes off as annoying, or worses
29、cary (吓人的 ). Smart has found that many non-technical folks are suspicious (怀疑的 ) of robots. Kids especially seem to be afraid of the picture-snapping Lewis.

33、nk of such intelligent robots as annoyingCHe was not a clever student who worked hard at school, and his classmates made fun of him. Rather than read, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies. In his second year of high school, he dropped out. But when his
34、 parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class. He lasted one month. Only when the family moved to another town did he enter a more suitable high school, where he eventually graduated. After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven S
35、pielberg entered California State College. Then in 1965, he recalls, in one of those occasional moments, his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met Chuck Silvers, a manager in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to v
36、isit.He appeared the next day. Without a job or identification (身份证明), Spielberg walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in. “For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers, “I dressed in my suit and hung out with the director
37、s and writers. I even found an office that wasnt being used, so I took it up freely. I bought some plastic sign and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room 23C.” It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then

41、your eyes. But when it comes to causing pain, the power of words may still be vastly underestimated（低估）. Kids who are always laughed at and called names can develop low self-respect and may grow up to be angry adults.“Hurtful words can haunt (索绕 ) you all your life and may lead to heart disease, dep
42、ression, stress,” said W. Penn Handwerker, a medical anthropologist. Not surprisingly, those that have the most effect are words that come from people we admire or who have some power over our lives: teachers, wives/husbands, parents and friends.Studies have found verbal assaults（伤害） are even more p
43、ainful than physical ones. “A bruise can eventually disappear, but words can hurt your soul. Words create fear and contain the promise of future violence.

45、secutor（检察官）, explained that when he was called into schools for cases of violence, it was typically the last stage of a much longer battle.“The violence had actually begun days or months after verbal harassment,” he said. 47.
