A

I bumped into （撞上） a stranger as he walked by me." Oh, excuse me," I said.

He replied with a smile and said, "Please excuse me too. I wasn't watching out for you."

We apologized and went our own ways.

Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over.

"Move out of the way!" I shouted.

She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like I had to apologize to her.

While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "While dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"

I quietly went and knelt down by my daughter's bed.

"Honey, I am so sorry," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me? "

She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue ones."

I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you. "

"It's okay. I love you anyway," she said as she kissed me on my check. If we can be polite to strangers, why can't we do the same for the ones we love?

Every year, the world's best minds create new inventions that make our lives easier and more interesting. Here are some best inventions listed by Time magazine.

Photo-taking drone （无人机）

Spark is a camera drone. It can fly above your head and take photos. A Chinese company called DJI made it. It is very small. When folded, it is as small as a can of soda. Like other drones, you can control it with a remote control. But you can also control it with hand gestures.

This is the coolest part. Put your hand close to your face. Spark is ready to take a photo of you when its red light flashes. Then, put your hand down. After a few seconds, the photo is taken. With hand gestures, taking photos is very convenient.

Hospital robot Moxi

Nurses are busy with many things during a typical workday. It can be hard for nurses to make time for their most important task: interacting （互动）with their patients. The company Diligent Robotics has built a hospital robot called Moxi. It can help nurses do non-patient-facing tasks so that they have more time for patient care.

Moxi has an arm to reach and a gripper （抓爪）to pick up things. It can move around easily. It is able to finish tasks one by one on its own. After testing Moxi for one year, the company plans to send Moxi to more US hospitals by the end of 2020.

Smart hand

People use artificial intelligence （AI） in many ways. The company BrainRobotics used it to make a smart prosthetic （假体的）hand. With its AI software, the hand can "learn", from its user and vice versa （反之亦然）. This kind of learning helps the hand work like a real hand. The more it is used, the more lifelike it will be. "

The hand is cheaper than other prosthetic hands thanks to the use of 3D printing. Each hand is printed to fit the user correctly. Users don't have to pay for extra doctor visits.

I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I'm used to it. You shouldn't eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. ___29    If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "It was delicious. " Also, you shouldn't put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to it.    30
