Not long ago, the only time you’d see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watch a movie such as Star Wars. Today, however, science stories are fast becoming science facts. Robots are starting to make their presence felt in our everyday life.
These robots come on all sizes, shapes and colors. They all have the same type of manmade “brain”.
Leading the robot revolution are industrial robots-robots that work in factories.
Industrial robots perform different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren't as friendly and bright as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today's home robots “walk”, sense objects in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody’s perfect.
We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wave lengths of light, and hear certain sounds. That's because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited.
Robots, however, do not have the same limits as we do. Robots may also be equipped with devices (装置) that can pick up information humans can't.
To understand what their sensing devices pick up means a hard job. Remember manmade brains handle information, including all kinds of data (数据), as zeros and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football is like-using only zeros and ones.
1.Which of the following describes the main use of robots today according to the text?
[ ]
A.Robots are becoming the helpers in American families.
B.Robots are doing different kinds of jobs in factories.
C.Robots are made to pick up information humans can't.
D.Robots are used to sense and even carry objects.
2.What did the writer actually mean when he said: “Well, nobody’s perfect. ”
[ ]
A.All humans are not perfect.
B.All robots are not perfect.
C.Don’t be too critical (挑剔) about robots.
D.Perfect humans can't be found.
3.To the writer’s idea, robots will ________ in the future.
[ ]
A.be produced in large numbers
B.take the place of humans
C.be greatly improved
D.be cleverer than humans
