I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: And they lived happily ever after. As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to live happily ever after. Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn39。t always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn39。t fort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question. It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it one day at a time. Happiness you see isn39。t some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn39。t something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day. The truth is happiness es when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to live happily ever after, one day at a time.（1）What is the author39。s wish to his daughter?

But can they pick a strawberry? It39。s really hard for robots to match what humans can do, says Bob Pizter, an expert on robots. Any 4yearold kid can pick a strawberry, but machines can39。t seem to figure it out. Pizter says the hardest thing for them is finding the fruit. Pizter39。s strawberrypicking robot is rolling into a strawberry field. This welldesigned device drives itself. It39。s as big as a bus, long enough to straddle (跨越) a dozen rows of strawberries at once. Powerful puters are sitting on top. Underneath, there are highdefinition cameras to find the berries, and robotic claws ready to pick them. Nobody39。s telling it what to do, explains Paul Bissett, the chief operating officer of Harvest CROO Robotics. It39。s remembering its path down the row. It39。s remembering where all these plants are. It knows all this, thanks to the superaccurate GPS. Its puter brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pit
