【2017·山东省济南市名校高三第四次诊断性测试With the average temperature for January standing at －50 ，it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the “Pole of Cold”，the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is －71.2 .This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere (北半球)．
Ironically，Oymyakon actually means “nonfreezing water” due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeerbreeders，hunters and icefisherman.
There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack.
Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed (融解) sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.

Several years after it was introduced to the world，the advanced Japanese robot Asimo is still serving only as an experimentation.Even if available for the market，it would be too expensive for ordinary families.
It is much easier and cheaper to build a robot like Jibo，which uses simple movements and has the ability to interact with people through sound，pictures and touch.
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal created Jibo first as a tool for exploring how people communicate with technology.
“Jibo as a robot is something that can move，with cameras that can move and see you and interact with you like a living thing，so to speak.It can bring satisfaction to life off the screen in an entirely new way，” explained Brezeal.
Jibo can remind you about appointments，take photos，entertain people and tell stories to children.It also has touch－sensitive(触感的) technology.
“People often communicate through touch，so they might pat Jibo if it does something that they
like and Jibo can actually learn from that，” said Breazeal.
Doctors at Amici di Nico Autism Center，in
Lecce，Italy，use a small talking robot to treat autistic
(孤独症) children.
11year-old
Marco
has
shown
great
improvement in focusing and communication since he started playing with the robot that carefully keeps track of the child's behavior，said engineer Giuseppe Palestra.
“We would like to be one step ahead of state of the art，so that we can make the human－robot
interaction better，” said Palestra.
Researchers say they want to develop robots that can be programmed for individual patients，because each child reacts differently to outside
information.
French researcher Pierre Lebeau's family robot
Keecker was designed as an entertainment robot that can follow its owner around.
“I came up with the idea of a computer with a
projector (投影仪) inside and a great sound system
and a camera，something that can move and go to
any room to give me a kind of TV－like experience，but anywhere I want without the cables(电缆)，”said
Lebeau.
Researchers
say
robots
intended
for
entertainment may soon be on the market with prices
ranging from about $500 to $5，000—still expensive for ordinary buyers.Medical robots are still in the experimental period but they too point to what we can expect from artificial intelligence (人工智能) in the near future.
