Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with

20、millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I s

22、 I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to m

23、e, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I doubted I would always be haunted by a decision to not try

28、morning.The two robbers knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the two security guards on duty that there was a disturbance（骚乱） in the area. The guards then made the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two robbers ti

29、ed the guards up with tape.The two men stole 11 paintings and an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt. A maintenance（维修） worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.One of the greatest losses was Rembrandts works, “The Storm on the Sea of

30、Galilee.” It was a very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the m

31、arket for nearly a century. This is considered to be the biggest theft ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the robbers will blackmail the museum or try to sell them to a private collector.Museum officials and police are not sure why the robbers chose certain works and not

32、 others. There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museums security system.

36、to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness, say

37、s Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear, and allow people to feel more energetic.” So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, so

38、meone you love. Dont wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind th

39、at forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain.

They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking

44、stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later，milking is complete. The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.The robotic sys

45、tems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day.
