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.
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.
4.
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.

1. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无聊”。其同义词为：be bored 二者的区别在于：get bored（强调动作） be bored （强调状态） 英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get, be 连用。比如：tired，angry 等。例如：

You won’t be bored when you are hungry.
当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。
If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。
2. It will be difficult to make them really think like a human. 把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。
通常用it 做形式主语，将不定式和动名词置于谓语后面，特别是主语较长时，或在一些习惯用法中。当谓语是系表结构（be + 形容词/ 名词）时，常将不定式后置，构成句型 “it + be + 表语（形容词 / 名词）+ 不定式”。如：
It is not an easy thing to master a foreign language.
掌握一门外语不是件容易的事。
3. Scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up...
be able to “能够……”
can & be able to
相同点: 两者都表示能力
不同点: 1）can只有现在式和过去式。
2）be able to可用于现在时、过去时和将来时，但
它没有进行时。
3) 表示经过努力而成功的某一次动作，只能用be able to.
试做以下试题:
①He ____________ drive a car.
②He ____________climb over the mountain before.
can
was able to
4. But many scientists disagree with Mr. Whit.
但很多科学家不赞同怀特先生的观点。
这里的“disagree with ”译为“不同意；不一致；
不适合”。
固定搭配：
agree （同意）
agree with sb/sth
disagree （同意）
disagree with sb/sth
5.If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings.

The old lady fell down in the street and broke her leg.
