Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars. Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts.

Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they have the same type of man-made brain(大脑). Leading the robots revolution（）are industrial（工业的） robots that work in factories. Industrial robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren’t as friendly and bright as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots walk, feel objects in their way( and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects(which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect.

We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wave-lengths(波长) of light, and hear certain sounds. That’s because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited(有限的). Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robots may also be equipped with devices(传感器) . Picking something up is a hard job.

Remember, man-made brains handle information , including all kinds of data(数据), as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like----using

only zeroes and ones.

1. From the passage, we can see that factory robots ______________. A. help to improve other types of robots. B. are the cleverest of all.

A. more widely used than factory robots. B. less popular than factory robots. C. able to do any kind of housework.

A. They do not have so many limits as humans do B. They have man-made brains.

C. They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device D. They handle information by using zeroes and ones. 4. The development of robots shows that_______________. A. science is developing fast.

PowerPoint presentations（以幻灯片作陈述）are taking the place of writing on the blackboard with chalk. Someday, will robots take the place of human teachers? In Japan, a robot is going to enter classrooms to help teachers. Last week the Japanese company Honda Motor Co.（本田汽车公司）showed the public its robot at a Tokyo museum. The robot’s name is Asimo. Students will see Asimo in science classes and learn the wonders of science.

Asimo is 130 centimeters tall with a round head. It can jog, walk up stairs and wave. It can also avoid（避开）things on its way and have simple talks with you. Asimo is an experienced worker for humans. It has worked as a guide in showrooms. But this will be the first time it works as a teaching assistant in classrooms and in formal teaching! How will Asimo help in class? A teacher explained the way Asimo works to students in last week’s show. Asimo has sensors（感应器）inside its body to keep its balance. The smart Asimo tilted（倾斜）its body when it stood on a shaking platform（平台）. Asimo kept its balance. But a wooden dummy（假人）beside Asimo fell (See the above picture).

When you walk, you pass your weight from the heel to the toe. The Japanese teacher explained this with Asimo at the museum. He moved the robot in slow move. Asimo made learning science more interesting for students! Asimo will soon help teach thousands of primary students and junior high schools in two Japanese cities. Hopefully, robot teachers will arrive in our classrooms in China one day.
