Almost everyone stood up when the bride appeared in her white dress except the wedding conductor, because she was fixed to her chair. The marriage was held at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo. A four-foot-tall robot called I-Fairy directed the wedding.

“Please lift the bride’s veil(面紗),” I-Fairy said in a tiny voice with flashing eyes and long hair. As the happy persons kissed in front of about 50 guests, she shook her arms in the air. It was the first time that a marriage had been led by a robot.

Japan has one of the most modern robot industries in the world. The government actively supports to make more kinds of robots in the future. Many robot models in factories are very new. Recently Japanese companies are making robots work for people in daily life.

Honda makes a walking robot like children, and other companies have developed robots that can help old people and play baseball. In order to “touch the hearts of the people”, Kokoro makes huge dinosaur robots and other models that can smile.

“This is a lot of fun. I think that Japanese have a strong thought that robots are our friends. People in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots to serve them,” said Satoko Inoue, who works in Kokoro. Now the I-Fairies are in use in Singapore, the US and Japan.

Are two holidays not enough? Do you dream of three, or even four? (1)這不再是夢(mèng)想! Last month, the State Council(國(guó)務(wù)院) encouraged primary and high schools to give students a spring or autumn break without changing the total number of student vacation days.

Students in China currently only have long holidays in two seasons —summer and winter. These holidays are usually 10 to 12 weeks in total.“If we had spring and autumn breaks, (2)I would have time to taste all four seasons instead of burying__埋) myself in my studies,” Gao Yiran , a 15-year-old boy told China Daily. Seasonal holidays during autumn and spring may be something new in China, but not in other countries.

In the US, students usually have three holidays. Summer holiday is the longest one, and runs from mid-June until early September. Summer camp is one of kids’ favorite places to go to, where they can make new friends and try some new activities. Winter holiday starts from mid-December and ends in early January. Most kids and their parents go to spend time together over the Christmas period. Spring break comes in mid- March and (3) it is usually a___-day holiday.

Schools in Japan start in April, as most people think that spring is the perfect time for new things. For school children ,summer holiday lasts from July 20 to August 31. Most kids are busy with club activities including sports and dancing. Spring break starts at the end of March and continues till early April. It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city.
