'Robot’ comes from the Czech word 'robota' which means 'work' or 'labor'. A robot is a machine that does the work of a human being.Robots are used to perform repetitive tasks which require precision. For example, they are used to manufacture cars. In the future, robots might be used to perform surgical operations on people. A computer can direct the procedure with great precision white human surgeons check the progress of the operation on large video screens.
Robots may soon become useful for doing unpopular household chores like sweeping and mopping. Robots will also be able to be used to do jobs which are unsafe for humans, like cleaning a nuclear accident site.

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is the second brightest object in the Earth's sky after the Sun. The natural satellites of the other planets in the solar system are also sometimes referred to as moons.The Earth's Moon is now known to be a slightly egg-shaped ball composed mostly of rock and metal. It has no liquid water, virtually no atmosphere and is lifeless. The Moon shines by reflecting the tight of the Sun. Although the Moon appears brightly to eyes, it reflects on average only 12 percent of the light that falls on it. This reflectivity of 0.12 is similar to that of coal dust. This reflectivity is called albedo.
The temperatures on most of the Moon's surface are too extreme for water or ice to exist, ranging from a maximum of 7270 C (2610 F) at lunar noon to a minimum of -1730C (-2790F) just before lunar dawn. Temperatures in permanently shadowed areas near the lunar poles, however, may consistently be as low as -2200C (-3640F). Comets and micrometeoroids that strike the Moon release gases that contain water. The gases would form an extremely thin atmosphere that would then migrate to the coldest regions of the poles and condense, forming ice that combines with the lunar soil.

Sleep is a temporary lapse of consciousness. During sleep, our central nervous system, breathing, heart-beat and muscle-tone are stowing down.Human sleep duration varies enormously. Babies steep for 18-20 hours a day, young children steep for 12-14 hours, adults steep for 7-9 hours and older people steep for 5-7 hours.
Some people nowadays suffer from insomnia. These people cannot sleep easily. Insomnia is not an illness. It is a symptom of a sleeping disorder which can be caused by anxiety, depression and excitement. It cannot be cured without getting rid of the problems which cause it.
