A robot can do housework and act as a teacher. Sometimes a robot catches viruses(病毒) and causes a lot of problems.
Step 3 Write down questions about the robots on the paper: What might robots be like in the future? What other things can robots do for people? What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?
Step 4 With your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you will probably discover some new questions.

Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.

Like every successful person, Lang Lang went through years of hard and lonely practice before making his name. He began to take piano lessons at the age of three. With great talent, he won his first competition at the age of five. Lang's father pushed little Lang Lang very hard to succeed. When he was nine, Lang went to learn music in Beijing. His father even quit his job and moved to Beijing with his son.
Then came the difficult time, “I got fired(开除) by the piano teacher six months later. It totally destroyed my piano dream，” Lang recalled(回忆). Hearing about his son's failure, Lang's father was so angry that he told Lang to jump off a building! Of course Lang didn't jump off a building! And pressure soon changed into power. His big break came at the age of 17, when he won world-wide fame(名声) at Gala of the Century, a well-known concert in Chicago, the U．S. Lang said it was his true love of music and piano that made him keep working, “When I was only two, I fell in love with the piano when I saw Tom—the cat playing it in the cartoon，” said Lang, “today, playing classical music on the piano is still the happiest thing in the world for me.”
