Robots seem very new to some people, but in fact they have a long history. The first robot was made by a Greek inventor. You may often see robots in lots of movies. The robots in the movies 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. They use dogs to help themselves move around. These dogs are called guide dogs. Scientists are making robots 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. Robots will never take the place of humans, though they can help us in a lot of different ways.

Earthquake rescue (救援) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing. The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped (困住) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a control from faraway places. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 30, 000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function-it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector (探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark, With its 10 meter long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen (氧气) and water.
Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.
43. In what way is the robot different from others, according to Dr. Qi
A. It has a very special shape.
B. It is able to fly everywhere.
C. It works with no information set in.
D. It doesn't need a faraway control.
44. Which is the function of the camera in the robot
A. Detecting trapped people.
B. Dealing with harmful gases.
C. Providing oxygen and water.
D. Sending goods to the quake area.
45. Which of the following is TRUE about the robot
A. It weighs about 30 kilos.
B. It has not been put into use.
C. It works only in the daytime.
D. It entered production years ago.
46. What does the passage mainly tell us

This $16, 000 robot knows who you are. NAO can even express emotions (情感). He is a self-guided robot. A self-guided robot can sense, think and act. Other robots might do two out of the three.

Movement
A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. It can move on wheels, walk on legs or be driven by small engines(发动机). A robot can move either the whole body or just parts of it.
Energy
A robot needs to be able to power itself. Some robots might power themselves with sunlight; some might with electricity, while others with the battery(电池). The way your robot gets its energy will depend on what your robot needs to do.
Intelligence

A robot may help children who are ill in hospital or at home. These children may feel lonely without their friends or classmates. The robot which is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras takes their places at school. Through it, the children can communicate with their teachers and friends.
The robot is called AV1. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created it.
Then how does the robot AV1 work Dolva, the CEO of No Isolation, explains it. She says the robot sits at the child's desk in the classroom and from home, the child uses a computer or a phone to start it and control its movements and talks through it. The robot becomes the child's eyes, ears and voice at school.
AV1 is large and looks like a human. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend of the children. “It can't be just a tiny camera, or the other kids may pick it up and take it with them. ”
Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are not in class.

六、　　I like robots very much. Robots are friends of humans. They can help humans do lots of work, such as cooking, looking after patients, and helping old people. I want to have a robot which is like a real man. It can talk with me when I am sad. And it can help me with my homework when I have difficulty in it. Besides, when I am busy, it can do shopping for me. Moreover, it can deal with emergencies. For example, if an old man falls ill suddenly, it can call doctors for help.
It would be a great help if I had such a robot. I hope my dream will come true one day.
