10、ot over my fear of waterslides （水滑道）As we stood in line to get our bags checked, I looked at the rides and started to get nervous. I walked up to the long white table and handed my bag to the lady on the other side. She looked at me suspiciously in the eye, opened up my bag, peeked inside, and then
11、handed it back aggressively. As I walked through the big metal gates, I looked up at all of the rides. My heart skipped a beat when I saw all of the twists and turns of each ride.I got with my group and we jumped into the Lazy River. As I got myself caught up with my friends, Counselor Thomas called
12、 our group out. We all discussed about which ride we would like to go on first. I nervously sat down and listened, not quite ready to go onto any of the rides just yet.

17、t to push us down the ride, I closed my eyes. After a sudden moment of weightlessness, I opened my eyes and down we went. “AHHH!”, I yelled, frightened about how fast we were going down the huge drop. Nia, not having a tendency of screaming, laughed the whole way down. Eep! Eep!” Charlie exclaimed,
18、screaming his head off like a little girl. Kevin also screamed Ahhh!” all the way.

23、tphones and social media offer a connectivity beyond anything we imagined, robots are beginning to offer physical capabilities and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond our expectations. Together, these technologies could be used to help solve important challenges like ageing societies, environmental
24、threats and global conflicts.But many of us wonder whether AI will become so intelligent in human communication that the boundaries between human and artificial beings will blur. If it is possible to build a meaningful interaction with an artificial agent, will there still be a division in the relat
25、ionships we have with people and technology? Also, once our human bodies and minds are enhanced with AI and robotics, what will it mean to be human”?From an engineering perspective, these advanced capabilities are still very far away.

26、uters are completely dependent on a power source - they require a lot of electricity, and this complicates integrating robotic elements with human organic tissue.

Braun in 2019. For thi
37、s reason, we cannot correctly weigh the costs and consequences of choosing unhealthy habits today, and we tend to give in to short-term pleasures, although this means reducing longer-term benefits.We deliberately choose to experience and enjoy short-term pleasure, mainly because of a stress conditio
38、n we may have, or because of personality. The underlying reason for these behaviors is primarily stress, as neuroscience discoveries in fact suggest, In general, stress results in habit behavior in humans, so dealing first and foremost with stress is probably advisable when you are looking to make l
