What do people usually put in their living rooms? Perhaps you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers（設(shè)計(jì)師）Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony van den Bossche didn’t think that was enough. They wanted to add something new in people’s living rooms. So they created a do-it-yourself ecosystem (生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner grow fish and plants inside tanks（缸） in their living rooms.

In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem, the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the “Local River”can keep the balanced environment with a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium (冰箱水族館)” by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able to grow fish and plants within the "Local River" before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.

The“Local River”ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.

Gordon, the “barista”(咖啡師）at San Francisco’s Cafe X, will not greet you by your name or wish you a 【1】 day. Why? Because Gordon is not a human 【2】 a robot(機(jī)器人). It can make the perfect cup of coffee. The owner of this special coffee shop is Henry Hu. Hu noticed that human baristas spent a lot of time 【3】 cups around while making drinks. So he decided 【4】 a fully mechanized(機(jī)械化的)coffee shop. And this is why Cafe X was born.

Now, Cafe X is getting more and more 【5】. Customers can order their drinks by 【6】 the computers in Cafe X. What’s more, they can also do that by using an app on the phone. When the order is placed, Gordon gets to work to make coffee. When the drink is ready, the customer receives a message with a code（密碼）. After entering it 【7】, the robot will hand over the coffee.

Another reason why people prefer Cafe X is that they can get their drinks in a shorter time, about eight 【8】. If the drink is not picked up within eight minutes after the message 【9】, it will be replaced(替換) with a fresh drink. Henry Hu says Cafe X is trying its best to provide customers with the greatest coffee in the shortest time.

Henry is not the only person who makes robots work for humans. In San Francisco, the robots 【10】 people create bowls, too. While at another restaurant Zume Pizza, the robots are used to make pies.
