In some science fiction movies，the robots are just like humans. They help with the   housework and do the most   1  jobs. Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future.   2 ，they agree it may  3 hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots  4 people and do the same things as us.

But robot scientist James White   5 . He thinks that it will be   6  for a robot to do the same things as a person.   7  ，it's easy for a child to wake up and know where they are. Mr White thinks that robots won't be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will be able to talk to people   8   25 to 50 years.

Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example，there are already robots   9  in factories. They do simple jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. But robots will   10   get bored.

In the future，there will be more robots everywhere，and humans will have   11  work to do. New robots will have many different   12  . Some will look like humans, and  13   might look like snakes. After an earthquake（地震），a snake robot could help look for people under buildings. That may not seem possible now，but computers，space rockets and even electric toothbrushes  14  impossible a hundred years ago. We never know   15  will happen in the future!

This is a story about a monkey. An old man had a monkey. The old man liked the monkey very much. The monkey was very clever. When birds came to the garden, he drove (驱赶) them away. He also helped the old man in many other ways. On a hot afternoon, the old man was asleep in his chair in the garden. A fly (苍蝇) came and sat on the end of the old man's nose. The monkey drove it away. Soon the fly came back again and sat on the old man's nose again. Again the monkey drove it away. Again and again, the monkey became very angry. He jumped up, ran to pick up a large stone. When he came back, the fly was on the old man's nose again. The monkey hit it with that stone. The fly fell off, but the old man's nose was broken.

Well, many people, even our friends, sometimes do things just like the monkey. They do things too quickly but they don't think much before they do. Maybe they sometimes bring us trouble, though they mean to do something good.

Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history.

The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may have seen robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger，faster and cleverer than people. In real life，most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous，difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example，some people can't see. Many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog. Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future，robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital，a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.

In the future，robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human. They can，however，help us in a lot of different ways.

A: What's in the room？

B:       

A: Really？      

B: The one with blue eyes is a guide robot. She can show you around our school.

A:       

B: He is a cook robot. He can cook something nice for you.

A: Oh，      

 B: Maybe you're right. When he finds waste things，he'll pick them up. He can keep our   environment clean.

A: That's wonderful! What good students!       

B: So am I.
