ROBOTS IN THE KITCHEN
When it comes to cooking, current trends show that people are spending 1_______ time in the kitchen than ever before. Even those who know how to prepare a meal have moments when they wish they 2_______ to make the dinner. Of course, if these people 3_______ a robot at home that could cook, they wouldn't have to do it themselves. However, that is easier said than done. It 4_______ a long time to programme a robot to cook, basically because there are so 5_______ different decisions involved. The biggest of these is 6_______ up your mind about what to cook in the first place! However, a team of American and Australian scientists has come up with a new idea for teaching a robot to cook: by showing it videos on YouTube. Now, not everyone is aware 7_______ the educational values of YouTube, but the site has thousands of videos that teach all sorts of things. One of 8_______ useful skills you can learn is cooking, and this is what caught the researchers' attention. After using data from 88 different YouTube videos, their robot was successful 9_______ identifying all of the objects and actions on the screen. Although the team is pleased 10_______ these results, they admit there is still a long way to go before the technique is perfected.

Bibliotherapy: a novel idea
We often think of novels as places in 1______ to lose ourselves, but the truth is that reading can have a much more far-reaching effect. If you find 2______ in trouble, there's always a book to remind you that others have been there before. It's just a question of finding the right book. And that is where bibliotherapy comes in: the use of books to help people deal with their problems, whatever they 3______ be. The treatment has become more 4______ more common in recent years, and today it is practised 5______ psychologists - and librarians - all over the world. There is also scientific evidence in favour of the technique. Researchers at Sussex University in the UK have found that reading is a more effective way of relieving stress than listening to music, going for a walk or sitting down 6______ with a cup of tea. After just six minutes with a book - any book - the people in the study found their stress levels 7______ reduced by up to 68%. This suggests that the therapy could help people 8______ lives have become meaningless leading them to fall into depression. If they have the right book recommended to 9______, they may get over their illness quicker. Bibliotherapy can certainly 10______ no harm. At the very least, a patient will discover some great new titles to read.
