Do you think you will have your own robot?

Section 1 Before You Read

What the robot look like?

What it can do?

It looks like a really man.

It can do many hard work or dangerouswork.

Section 1 Before You Read

Read the title of the text. Then

circle the words and phrases you

think you will read in the passages.

阅读的时候，先通过看标题和图片，预计一下你要读到的内容。这能帮助你准备获得更多的信息。

Section 2 While You Read

In some science fiction movies, people in the

future have their own robots. These robots are just

like humans. They help with the housework, and

do the most unpleasant jobs.

科幻小说电影

他们能够帮助人们做家务和那些最让人不愉快的工作。

Do you think you will have your own robot?

Section 2 While You Read

Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in

the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of

years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like

people, and do the same things as us. Japanese companies

have already made robots walk and dance. This kind of

robot will also be fun to watch.

科学家

日本的一些公司已经能够让机器人行走和跳舞。这种机器人看来会很有意思。

未来；将来 然而 好几百；许许多多

Section 2 While You Read

But robot scientist James White disagrees. He

thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the

same things as a person. For example, it’s easy for

a child to wake up and know where they are. Mr

White think that robots won’t be able to do this. But

other scientists disagree. They think that robots will

be able to talk to people in 25 to 50 years.

他认为机器人做人做的事是困难的。

Section 2 While You Read

Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots

look like people. For example, there are already

robots working in factories. These robots look more

like huge arms. They do simple jobs over and over

again. People would not like to do such jobs and

would get bored. But robots will never get bored.

工厂

他们一次又一次地做这些简单的工作。 人们做这样的工作就会感到枯燥。但是机器人永远也不会感到枯燥。

Section 2 While You Read In the future, there will be more robots every-

where, and humans will have less work to do. New

robots will have many different shapes. Some will

look like humans, and others might look like snakes.

After an earthquake, a snake robot could help look

for people under buildings. That may not seem

possible now, but computers, space rockets and even

electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred

years ago. We never know what will happen in the

future!

未来，到处会有更多的机器人，人们的工作也会更少。

地震后，蛇机器人就会帮助寻找建筑物底下的人。

我们永远也不知道未来会发生什么。
