or dangerous places.

4. What kinds of the jobs do the robots do Why
Human servants.
They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
In factories.
They do simple boring jobs over and over again. Because they 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.

（关键词） to help us find the answer quickly.
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. 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. We never know what will happen in the future!

5. In the writer's opinion, robots will not think like humans in the future.
Read para.4 carefully and mark True (T) or F (False).
1.They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
dangerous /'de nd r s/ adj.有危险的；不安全的。dangerous 反义词是safe。常用句型为：It‘s dangerous to do sth.做……是危险的。
Language points
eg：Don't play with fire. It's dangerous!
不要玩火，危险！
It's dangerous to play on the street.
在街道上玩是危险的。
辨析：danger/dangerous
danger为名词，意为“危险”。in danger意为“处于危险之中”，其反义词组为out of danger(脱离危险)。
eg：Some animals are in danger.
一些动物处于危险之中。
His mother is out of danger now.
他妈妈现在已经脱离危险了。

2. Today there are already robots working in factories.如今已经有机器人在工厂里工作了。
本句含有固定句型：There is/are＋sb./sth.＋doing sth.表示“有某人/某物在做某事”。
eg：There are some boys swimming in the
swimming pool.
有一些男孩在游泳池里游泳。
There is a bag lying on the ground.
有一个包躺在地上。
3. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
such / s t / adj. &adv.这样的&这样地
常用来修饰名词.
such＋a/an＋adj.＋可数名词单数
such＋adj.＋可数名词复数/不可数名词
eg：Do you like such weather
She is such a lovely girl.
= She is so lovely a girl.
辨析：such/so
such和so均可表示“如此；这样”。
1) such常用来修饰名词，so常用来修饰形容词或副词。
2) 当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，用so不用such。
3) “such + a / an +adj.+可数名词单数”相当于“so +adj.+ a /an +可数名词单数”，表示“如此……的一个……”。
so＋adj.＋a/an＋可数名词单数
so＋adj./adv.
用such或so填空。
1) The man told us _____ funny a story.
2) She has _____ a beautiful dress.
3) How can you get _____ much money to buy the car
4) Don’t go out in _____ cold weather.
5) Don’t eat _____ quickly.
so
such
so
such
so
巧记such, so的用法：
名前such，形(副)前so；多多少少(many，much，few，little)也用so；little一词特殊记，“小”用such，“少”用so。
4. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
agree v. 同意；赞成；应允
disagree v. 不同意 ；持不同意见；有分歧
agree with sb. 同意某人的意见
agree to do sth. 同意做某事
agree后可接that引导的宾语从句，that有时可省略，意为“同意……；一致认为……”。
eg：I agree with you on this matter.
He agreed to fly kites with me this weekend.
They agree (that) the movie is very boring.
hundreds of 许多；大量
辨析：hundred与hundreds of
hundred hundred,表示具体的数量，意为“一百”，当hundred前有具体数字修饰时，只能用单数。
eg：There are nine hundred students in our school. 我们学校有900个学生。
hundreds of 意为“数以百计的”，用于笼统的数量。当hundred为复数时，前面不可与具体数字连用，并在后面接“of＋可数名词复数”。
eg：There are hundreds of books in the library. 这个图书馆里有数百本书。

Robot teachers，who are working in elementary schools now， have been very popular with pupils during a project in some South Korean school， a government report said on Thursday.
The elementary school children get on well with the robot teachers. They like the robotic teachers more than the ordinary ones because they never get angry and always kind to the students. The Ministry of Knowledge said.
English teaching robots were sent to three provincial schools for eight weeks starting in late December. There they teach students as teachers. More and more students like studying and the other robot teachers were also sent out. They can teach math， science and art.
The researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise interest in the language and helped the students feel more confident.
“Tele-presence” robots are controlled by an English and are equipped with a microphone and video camera. Many people think we can use these robot teachers in the village far away from the cities so that the children in these areas can also get better education.www.21-cn-jy.com
