help with sth. “帮助做某事”，相当于help (to) do sth. 介词with后面接名词或代词。
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

look like “看起来像”，强调外表、外貌特征的相似。
