16、 video to TikTok explaining how they would be charging their then 18-year-old daughter Mary rent, the video went spread quickly and the reaction was different. One follower called it a “punishment”. Another said: “I dont see anything wrong with it. It helps children learn responsibility.” While a th
17、ird added: “Definitely no, thats their home.” Despite the mixed response, Tom was sure theyd made the right decision. “This is our way of preparing her,” he told Newsweek. “Part of becoming an adult is knowing that you have to either pay rent or youll have a house payment. Our hope is that by doing
18、all this, were preparing her for the world.” The couple charged Mary $200 a month while renting a local apartment costs $634 a month. “If she were living separately, Mary would be making a much higher payment,” Amy added. According to a recent survey conducted by Red-field & Wilton Strategies for Ne
19、wsweek, around 57 percent of the 1,500 US adults surveyed were in favor of charging for the privilege （优惠待遇）, even if their parents “do not need the money”.

20、the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, said, “Charging your adult child rent can be good for your long-term relationship.

Nor are the visitors terribly charged up.
25、 True, some aquariums are fairly well maintained, but the fact remains that they seldom draw lots of visitors in. The government of Maharashtra wanted to make a change. So it has partnered with a Singapore-based company to create Indias first underwater world, or oceanarium. The Taraporevala Aquariu
26、m, on Maine Drive. Mumbai, is all set to become a six-storey oceanarium. Most people think that an “oceanarium” and “aquarium” are the same. However, there is a difference. An aquarium keeps just a few species of fish while oceanariums have a greater range of fish. These are kept in huge enclosed sp
27、aces that closely resemble the natural environment of the fish. According to officials, the Taraporevala Oceanarium will have more than 400 hundred species of fish, including dolphins and sharks. There will be a well-stocked library, a mini theater and computer laboratory, where children will be abl
28、e to satisfy their curiosity about the fish. The oceanariums main attraction, however, will be the submerged transparent tunnel-the first of its kind in India! The tunnel will be below sea level and visitors will be able to enjoy an undersea experience, with a variety of fish swimming all around. Th
29、is may appear rather unbelievable, but a part of the sea will be enclosed in the oceanarium. Of course, Mumbais dirty seawater will be made clean before it is introduced to the fish enclosure.28.

While humanity is still far from having robot servants at home, robots are commonly used on production lines in factories, and even for specific movements during operation. R
34、ecently, one Estonian company decided to repurpose （改变的用途） its technology for a reason thats beneficial for the environment. Robot manufacturer Milrem, which previously produced autonomous tanks, partnered with the University of Tartu to develop robot foresters that can plant and care for trees. The
35、 decision to create autonomous foresters came after Milrem realized that its technology, which had been developed for military use , could be useful in other areas. “We started looking into what else we could do with these unmanned robots”, Mart Noorma, director at Milrem, told Research Estonia. “To
36、gether with our partners at universities and public offices, we realized that we could be helpful in automating many industries.” The robots, which resemble mini tanks , operate in pairs. One robot works as a planter , putting down as many as 380 young trees in as little as six hours. During the pla
37、nting stage, the robot records the exact location of each young tree. The other robot follows its path, cutting vegetation and cutting brush, so that the newly planted trees can thrive. To navigate their surroundings, the robots use LiDAR and GPS systems. LiDAR uses laser technology to create a thre
38、e-dimensional geometric map of the environment. Interesting Engineering reported that the robots also use high resolution camera systems to fill in the gaps around obstacles (障碍) and ensure the maps accuracy. The efficiency and speed of these tree-planting robots give them the high potential to help
