Reading
2b
Read the article and match each paragraph with the question it discusses.
Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot
When we watch movies about the future,
we sometimes see robots. They are usually
like human servants. They help with the
housework and do jobs like working in
dirty or dangerous places.
2. Today there are already robots working in factories.
Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs
over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs
in the future because they are boring, but robots will
never get bored.
3.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans
and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can
walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some
scientists believe that although we can make robots move
like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like
a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that
robots will never be able to wake up and
know where they are. But many scientists
disagree with Mr. White. They think that
robots will even be able to talk like
humans in 25 to 50 years.
4.Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in
the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of
years. These new robots will have many different shapes.
Some will look like humans, and others might look like
animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots
that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people
inside, these snake robots can help look for people under
the buildings. This was not possible 20
years ago, but computers and rockets
also seemed impossible 100 years ago.
We never know what will happen in
the future!
1. Robots can build ____ in factories.
2. They can do _______ jobs many times and never get bored.
3. Some can _________ and _____________.
4. Some can help _______ people under ___________.
cars
simple
look for
the buildings
walk
dance
Read the article again quickly. Complete the sentences about what robots can do now.

What kind of animals might robots look like in the future What do you think these robots will be able to do Write your ideas and discuss them with your partner.
2e
I think some future robots might look like
spiders. They will be able to help us clean the window, sweep the floor.
Some robots might look like snakes. They will be able to help look for people under the buildings.
Some robots will be look like people. They will be able to sing, dance and talk with us.
1.Today there are already robots working in factories. 现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。
此句中的working in factories的逻辑主语是robots，但是在这个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。这一点在学习和使用there be句型时需要特别注意。
Language points
1.They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
它们帮忙做家务活， 并在肮脏或危险的地方工作。
help with sth.意为“帮助做某事”，相当于help(to) do sth. 介词with后面接名词或代词。
He often helps me with my lessons.
他经常帮我学习功课。
3.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.
现在科学家正在尽力制造一些看上去像人类，并能像我们一样做事情的机器人。
try to do sth.意为“尽力去做某事”，侧重尽力，为了达到目的而努力。也可以说成try one’s best to do sth.。
我正努力学习英语。
I am trying to learn English.
= I am trying my best to learn English.
