A Boy’s Best Friend
Isaac Asimov
In the future
On the Moon
Mr Anderson, Jimmy’s father
Mrs Anderson, Jimmy’s mother
Robutt, a mechanical dog, Jimmy’s pet
PlotJimmy’s parents get a dog from Earth. They want to give it to Jimmy as a pet. But...
Jimmy already has a robot pet named Robutt. His parents think it would be good for Jimmy to have a real dog, and that he would like it. They want to send Robutt to another family. To his parents’ surprise, Jimmy refuses to accept the real dog, because he loves Robutt and he believes Robutt loves him too. For Jimmy, Robutt is not just a mechanical dog, but a real friend.
Different attitudes towards Robutt Parents: Jimmy:Now talk about your attitudes towards the story.
They think Robutt is a mechanical imitation of a real dog.
He loves Robutt and treats him like a real dog.
Activity 4: Think and Share
1 What are the similarities and differences between Robutt and a real dog
Similarities: Both are able to respond to orders given by human beings. Both can outrace human beings. Both can guide and protect human beings.
Differences: They have different appearances. A real dog is a living creature, while Robutt is a machine. A real dog loves human beings as a result of its nature, while Robutt is just adjusted to act as though it loves human beings.
2 Is there any foreshadowing of Jimmy’s final decision Find clues in the reading passage.
Learning to learn
Foreshadowing is when the author gives a clue as to what is to come later in the story. This often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story.
Yes, there is. At the beginning of the story, we know Jimmy has never seen a real dog. It also seems that he spends a lot of time with Robutt. Jimmy plays with Robutt enthusiastically, shouting “Come on, Robutt”. In the middle of the passage, we are told that “Jimmy couldn’t go wrong while Robutt was around”, indicating that Robutt protects Jimmy well.
3 What other sci-fi novels about robots can you think of Share one with the class.
Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (《海底两万里》).
4 The two reading passages in this unit show us different aspects of technology in the future. Which of these do you most expect to encounter in your lifetime
Self-driving.
Activity 5: Work in groups. Give a talk on whether it is possible to have a real friendship with a robot.
1 Answer the questions to help to form your point of view. Why do Jimmy and his parents have different feelings towards Robutt
Because Jimmy was born on the Moon, he has never seen a real dog. He has been getting along well with Robutt, and thus has developed an affection for him. He cannot figure out why a real dog is better than a mechanical dog, despite his father’s explanation. While Jimmy’s parents have seen real dogs before they left Earth. They know what real dogs look like. They think Robutt is just a machine.
If you were Jimmy, which one would you choose, Robutt or a real dog 2 Organise the main points you would like to cover and complete the table.

目标二: To use the key language points from the passage correctly
Activity 1: Find the important words, phrases, and language points you want to share with your partner. Then discuss in groups and share their usage with the class.
1 go through 在该句子中表示“经历”之意，此外，它还有“查阅；浏览；完成；通过；审查；用完；仔细检查”。【教材原文】He’s at the rocket station, going through the tests. 他在火箭站接受测试。【句型分析】going through the tests现在分词短语作伴随状语。
【词汇拓展】go after 追逐；追求；追击go ahead 前进go against 背叛；违背；违反；不利于go in for 爱好；酷爱；从事go by （指时间）过去go over 越过……；温习go wrong 出故障
2 with sth. on 穿着某物【教材原文】He looked thicker and stubbier with his spacesuit on, but he could handle the lunar gravity as no Earth-born human being could.
穿着太空服的他虽然看起来臃肿矮胖了一些，但他能承受月球引力，而在地球上出生的人是不能承受这种引力的。【句型分析】本句为复合句。句中but引导转折意义的并列句，as no Earth-born human being could为省略了handle the lunar gravity的比较状语从句。
3 The outer side of the crater sloped southward and the Earth, which was low in the southern sky, was nearly full, so that the entire crater-slope was brightly lit.Paraphrase: The entire crater-slope faced south and was brightly lit by the sun’s reflection on the Earth, which was just above the horizon to the south.【句型分析】本句是一个复合句，其中and连接两个并列句，which引导非限制性定语从句，so that引导结果状语从句。
【词义解释】southward是副词，意为“向南方”。
以-ward结尾的副词都有“向……方向”的意思，如forward意为“向前”，northward意为“向北方”。so that在此引导结果状语从句，意为“因此，所以”。例如：I took no notice of him, so that he flew into a rage.
4 The slope was a gentle one and even the weight of the spacesuit couldn’t keep Jimmy from racing up it in a floating hop that made the gravity seem nonexistent.Paraphrase: Jimmy was able to bound easily up the gentle slope, hardly noticing the weight of his spacesuit because of the Moon’s low gravity.keep sb. from doing sth. 意为“阻止某人做某事”，相当于 stop sb. from doing sth.。例如：These worries kept her from sleeping properly.本句中的racing up，in a floating hop等描述非常生动，race up意为“越上”，in a floating hop意为“跳着”。
5 outrace 超越【教材原文】Jimmy, expert though he was, couldn’t outrace Robutt, who didn’t need a spacesuit, and had four legs and tendons of steel.论速度，吉米虽然是个能手，但他比不过罗布特，因为他有四条腿和钢铁作的肌腱，还不用穿太空服。
6 Jimmy couldn’t go wrong while Robutt was around, tripping him when he was too near a rock, or jumping on him to show how much he loved him, or circling around and squeaking low and scared when Jimmy hid behind a rock, when all the time Robutt knew well enough where he was.Paraphrase: Jimmy was always safe while Robutt was with him. Robutt would knock him out of trouble when he was too near a rock, jump on him to show how much he loved him, or go round in circles making noises as if he was scared when Jimmy hid behind a rock. Robutt always knew very well where Jimmy was.trip意为to make someone fall by putting your foot in front of them when they are moving“把（某人）绊倒”，例如：He didn’t notice me and stretched out his foot suddenly, almost tripping me.
7 Jimmy held out his arms and Robutt was in them in one bound.Paraphrase: When Jimmy opened his arms, Robutt jumped into them at once.
hold out意为“伸出（手或手里的东西）”。例如：She held out her hand to him.
bound是一个多义词，在本句中用作名词，意为a long or high jump made with a lot of energy“跳跃”。(1) adj. 一定会；很可能会bound to do/be sth.
(2) 受（法律、义务或情况）约束（必须做某事）；有义务（做某事）bound by sth. to do sth.
例如：You are bound by the contract to pay before the end of the month.(3) v. & n. 跳跃
8 I love Robutt and that’s what counts.Paraphrase: I love Robutt, and that is the most important thing.count是一个多义词，在本句中用作动词，意为to be important or valuable“重要”。例如：What really counts is whether you have good computing skills.
Activity 2: Complete the summary with the correct words or the correct forms of the words in the bracket according to the passage.
Jimmy, 1.___________ long and agile arms and legs, was out on the crater, looking 2.___________ (thick) and stubbier with his spacesuit on.
