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.

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!

(3) be able to常常指经过努力，花费了时间和劳力之后才能做到某事。
例如：
I‘m sure you’ll be able to finish it quickly. 我相信你能迅速地完成。 （经过努力）

4. However they agree it may take hundreds of years.
然而他们同意这将花费成百上千年
hundreds of 表示“数百，成百上千的”这时hundred后要加-s，且后面有介词of，但是不能与数词连用。类似用法还有 thousands of “成千上万”
例如：There are hundreds of people in the restaurant.
在餐馆里有成百上千的人。
[注意]
Hundred、thousand是数词，意为“百”“千”，当表示具体的“几百”“几千”时，用“基数词 + hundred/thousand”，注意不加-s。
