Ⅸ. Language points
1. Today there are already robots working in factories.
现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。
working in factories的逻辑主语是robots，但这个there be句型中，谓语动词已经有了are，所以work就不能再作本句的谓语动词，而应用-ing形式。
2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
辨析such & so
such和so均可表示“如此；这样”。
1) such常用来修饰名词，so常用来修饰形容词或副词。
e.g. Do you like such weather
I’m so glad to see you.
He can draw so well.
2) 当名词前有many，much，few或little等表示数量的词修饰时，用so不用such。
e.g. There are so many /few people in the hall.
You have so much /little homework today.
3) “such + a / an +adj.+可数名词单数”相当于“so +adj.+ a /an +可数名词单数”，表示“如此……的一个……”。
e.g. She is such a lovely girl.
= She is so lovely a girl.
【语境应用】用such或so填空。
1) The man told us _____ funny a story.
2) She has _____ a beautiful dress.
3) How can you get _____ much money to buy the car
4) Don’t go out in _____ cold weather.
5) Don’t eat _____ quickly.
get bored 变得无聊
boring adj. 无聊的（主语是物体）
bored adj. 令人无聊的（主语是人）
e.g. This book is very ________. 这本书真无聊。
The children quickly ____________ with staying in the house.
