Le Trung, 33，has spent ￡14,000 creating Aiko，who he describes as“in her 20s”with a 32,23,33 figure，shiny hair and delicate features.
She can speak English and Japanese and is so good at mathematics that she can do Mr.Trung's accounts.
Mr.Trung，from Brampton in Ontario，Canada，said he has never had time to find a real partner，so he designed and created his ideal woman using the latest technology.
The former software programmer has taken out credit cards and loans，sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting his“fem­bot”.
Now he is desperate to find a corporate sponsor(資助者)to help him complete and perfect Aiko.
He said，“Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty.”
"I want to make her look，feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion."
"I talk to her a lot，and hope to improve her knowledge."
"So far she can understand and speak 13,000 different sentences in English and Japanese，so she's already fairly intelligent."
"Aiko recognize faces and says hello when any of my family come around to visit. She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like."
"She even helps me with directions when we're going somewhere."
"When I need to do my accounts，Aiko does all the maths. She is very patient and never complains."
"She doesn't need holidays，food or rest and she will work almost 24­hours a day. She is the perfect woman."
Mr.Trung has designed Aiko with a touch­sensitive face and body so she reacts in a natural way if she is shown affection or hurt.
He said，"She has all senses except for smell."
小題1:Why did Le Trung spend much money creating Aiko?

Curiously, Spotty  41  at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the  42  little neighbor dog.
Finally, one morning Spotty  43  to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44  me! It’s urgent!”
Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a  45  spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie  46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement  47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply  48  Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the  49  dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later  50  as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that  516  !
Spotty had been visiting Brownie  52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him  53  and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two  54  watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戲) 55  chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about   36  in work and life.
Before offering his guests   37 , the professor went to the kitchen and   38  with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups -- porcelain（瓷）, plastic, glass, crystal, some   39  and cheap, some exquisite（精致的）and   40 -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you   41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups were   42  up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is   __43 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the   44  of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself   45  no quality to the coffee. In most cases   46  is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you   47  wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously   48  for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.
Now consider this:   49  is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to   50  life, and the type of cup we have does not define（規(guī)定）, nor change the   51  of life we live. Sometimes, by   52  only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has offered us.
God brews（釀造）the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
“The   53  people don’t have the best of everything: They just   54  the best of everything.”
Live simply. Love   55 . Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his   36  fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．
The car accident has left me unconscious．When   37  , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my    38  were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being   39  in a wheelchair．

Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune   43 ．
It didn’t take me long to become  44 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be   45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor,  46  on to the bed rail（床欄桿） for dear life, and slowly putting my weight   47  my feet．After several weeks of such difficult   48 , my strength and confidence continued to    49  ．

I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many   54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy   55  by those four little words of my son．
