I was in a parking lot when a tall，sincere man approached me asking for help with directions. He had a printout of google maps from the airport to a 16 on the main street, but just couldn't 17 it. He clearly didn't have a phone，so after confirming his written directions，I mapped it on my 18 and showed him exactly where he needed to go.

My father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.

Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.

In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel.

After the accident，Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

Has the world just witnessed its first ever robot suicide（自杀）?

Tiring housework was seemingly too much for one cleaning robot to take，when it apparently rebelled（反抗） and decided to end it all.

The robot was given the tiresome task of cleaning up some spilt cereal（残渣剩饭） before it climbed on to a kitchen hotplate where it was destroyed，according to reports in Austria.

It had reportedly grown worn out of being forced to clean the same house every day and decided to become a victim to the robot cause.

“Somehow it seems to have restarted itself and made its way along the work surface where it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it,”explained fireman Helmut Kniewasser，who was called to handle the fire.

“It pretty quickly started to melt and then stuck to the kitchen hotplate. It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”

The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散） and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use. It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate. ”

It took an hour to clean and make the building safe. The homeowner plans to sue（控告） the producer of the robot.

42. According to the passage，the robot suicided because it ______.

A. failed to finish its daily work

B. was tired of doing house work
