Todd cried out in shock and waved his arm at the pale blue screen hovering above the breakfast table.The hologram news paused. "Carolyn," he called across the kitchen, "did you see this "
His wife, Carolyn, was collecting her cereal from the breakfast robot. “What is it, honey " she asked.Todd pointed at the floating blue screen. Carolyn read the headline:
Another prison breakout: faulty robotics blamed.
"Oh, don't worry, " Carolyn chuckled. "That's an old facility. The robots there were bound to break down sooner or later. Plus, i know for a fact that they weren't well maintained," she added. "Julius was telling me about it. That place isn't as advanced as ours."
托德震惊地叫了起来，对着早餐桌上悬着的淡蓝色屏幕挥舞着手臂。全息图的新闻停了下来。“卡洛琳，”他从厨房那边喊道，“你看到这个了吗？”
他的妻子卡洛琳（Carolyn）正在从早餐机器人那里拿麦片。“怎么了，亲爱的？”她问。托德指着浮动的蓝色屏幕。卡罗琳读了标题：
另一起越狱事件：机器人故障。
“哦，别担心，”卡洛琳笑着说。“那是一个旧设施。那里的机器人迟早会出故障。另外，我知道它们没有得到很好的维护。”她补充道。“是朱利叶斯告诉我的。那个地方没有我们的先进。”
Read the story and answer the questions.

"But the report says that even new, regularly-maintained robots can break down," Todd protested. "And in a maximum-security prison like yours, one small error could cause a lot of problems."
Carolyn smiled at him. “You worry too much," she said. "Now, I'd better be going or I'll be late for work." She grabbed her bag from the kitchen counter and rushed out of the door. Todd heard the aircar start up outside. It was not until an hour later that he noticed that Carolyn had left her emergency call device on the breakfast table.
“但报告说，即使是新的、定期维护的机器人也会出故障，”托德抗议道。“在像你们这样戒备森严的监狱里，一个小错误可能会导致很多问题。”
卡洛琳冲他笑了笑。“你担心得太多了，”她说。“现在，我最好走了，否则我上班要迟到了。”她从厨房柜台上抓起包，冲出门去。托德听到飞机在外面启动了。直到一个小时后，他才注意到卡洛琳把她的紧急呼叫装置留在了早餐桌上。
1 What happened to the prison and what was the cause
There was a prison breakout, caused by faulty robotics.

Sample
Carolyn had a long commute to the prison, even by aircar. When she arrived, everything seemed normal, except for a robot lying at the front gate, motionless. It’s an old model, she thought. They broke down now and again. She passed through the gate, noting that everything else was apparently in order.
But just as she closed her office door behind her, a loud alarm sounded. Carolyn’s blood froze. She had only ever heard that sound during drills. It can’t be! she thought. A general systems failure! She looked out of the reinforced glass of her office window into the prison below. Sure enough, the robots were out of control. Most had stopped moving at all. Some spun aimlessly around and around. But others were randomly operating things, including the cell gates, and she could see prisoners rushing out to freedom. “Grab the robots’ weapons and run!” shouted the prisoners.
Share your story with the class.
7
Now make comments on your partner’s story and see whether the language style is consistent.
1
Carolyn opened her bag and reached for her emergency call device. Her heart sank as she realised she had left it at home. I need to call in the police, she thought. But how Without the device, she couldn’t communicate. Nothing in the prison would work properly now.
There was a voice behind her. “Looking for one of these ”
Carolyn gasped. “Julius!” There was her second in-command, holding an emergency caller in his hand. “What are you doing in my office ”
“It should be my office!” snarled Julius. “I’ve worked here for forty years… and the City Commissioners gave you the job as prison governor! But now you’ll pay. You’ll all pay! I can make every robot in every prison in the city go crazy. The prisoners will escape, and the city will burn!”
Then the door burst open, and the room was suddenly flooded with riot police. And there was… Todd!

Sample
“I took the aircar over here to bring you this,” he said quietly, winking as he pushed the emergency call device secretly into her hands. “I could see there was trouble, so I activated it to call in the police.”
“It was Julius,” said Carolyn, watching the police bundle Julius out of the door. “He’s gone mad.”
“Sure,” said Todd. “But now we know how easy it is to cause a mass robot breakdown. You’ll have to write a report. Make some recommendations to upgrade the robots.”
“I know.” Carolyn slid from Todd’s hug and walked towards the door. She could see the police rounding up the prisoners. “But right now, I’ve got a prison to run.”

Presenting ideas
1 What are the people doing in each picture
Look at the pictures about the future and answer the questions.
1
Picture 1 The robot is displaying some information to a girl. Perhaps the girl is being taught by the robot.
Picture 2 A girl is sitting on the robot. She looks like she is controlling the robot with a device. She seems to be playing.
Picture 3 The robot is helping a mother look after her child.
2 Imagine and describe their daily lives. Would you like to live like this
Look at the pictures about the future and answer the questions.
1
In my daily life, I often interact with intelligent robots. Sometimes, a robot teaches me new knowledge by displaying information on its screen, making learning fun and engaging. Other times, I sit on a robot and control it with a device, feeling like I'm in a futuristic adventure. Sometimes, the robot even assists my mom in taking care of my little brother, giving her a well-deserved break.
I love this kind of daily life because it's full of technology and fun. It makes me feel like I'm living in the future and experiencing things that were once only imagined.
Work in groups. Discuss how other daily activities might be different in the future and complete the table.

Share your ideal day in the future with the class.
In my ideal future day, I wake up to a robot displaying the weather and news for the day. It teaches me new things during breakfast, making learning a seamless part of my morning routine. After that, I sit on the robot and control it with a device, exploring virtual worlds and playing exciting games, feeling like I'm on an adventure.
In the afternoon, the robot assists me in my chores, while also helping my mom with looking after my younger sibling, giving her some free time. This kind of daily life brings me convenience, joy, and a sense of being part of a futuristic world where technology and humanity coexist harmoniously.

Show Time
在我理想中的未来一天，我醒来时看到一个机器人显示当天的天气和新闻。它在早餐时教会了我新的东西，使学习成为我早晨日常生活的一部分。之后，我坐在机器人上，用设备控制它，探索虚拟世界，玩令人兴奋的游戏，感觉自己在冒险。
在下午，机器人帮助我做家务，同时也帮助我妈妈照顾我的弟弟妹妹，给她一些空闲时间。这样的日常生活给我带来了便利和快乐，让我感觉自己置身于一个科技与人类和谐共存的未来世界。
