ASIMO is a robot created by Honda in 2000. ASIMO is now the most human like robot in the world . It can jump, run, walk, climb stairs and even jump on one leg! It can also use its five fully funcitioning (功能 完善的) fingers to hold objects in its hands. ASIMO has cameras for eyes. It can also understand basic orders and is programmed to know American and British Sign Language, so it can communicate with deaf people.
Many people say that ASIMO is a fantastic creation because it can be used to help elderly and disabled people who cannot do basic important tasks, such as cleaning or washing up. In England, more than half of the people aged 75 and over live by themselves, and 5 million of them say that their main form of company (陪伴) comes from the television. The fact that elderly people are feeling lonely in a society which is built around communication through the Internet and social media is really sad.
Personally, although I think ASIMO is an unbelievable invention, I am upset by the fact that we are having to use a robot to deal with such a simple problem. It is a worrying thought that no one seems to care enough about the old people to make an effort to communicate with and be friendly to them. When it is finally released (发布) to be sold to the public. ASIMO will not be cheap, so not every lonely person will be able to afford one. So I really think that we must try our best not to depend on technology to do things that we can do by ourselves. Yes, technology is a wonderful thing and ASIMO is a mind-blowing creation, but we should not use its existence as an excuse not to make the effort to care for the old people.
26．The first paragraph mainly tells us about ASIMO’s ___________.
A．development B．future C．movement D．function
27．In many people’s opinion, ASIMO is great because ___________.
A．no other companies have such a creation
B．it is helpful to the elderly and disabled
C．some lonely people can chat with it freely
D．it can help people to do everything
28．The underlined word “mind-blowing” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________”.
A．exciting B．terrible C．boring D．useless
29．What’s the writer’s attitude towards depending on robots to look after the old people
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Against. D．Pleased.
30．What’s the main purpose of the writer’s writing the passage
A．To tell us how to communicate with the old people.
B．To show how fantastic technology is.
C．To explain why Honda created ASIMO.
D．To encourage people to provide more care for the old people.
