That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 2 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t been 3 for a role on the stage, his job with helping all the actors was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little __4 because I had a lot of lines(台词)to memorize. “You can do it.” he said. I knew I could 5 on him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we made a good team.

Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While doing his own work, Kevin also spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 6 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.

Three days before the 7 night, everything was ready for the performance. But when I woke up with a high fever on the day of the play, the whole production came to a sudden __8 . Everyone in the drama department was worried, 9 there was no way I could perform. The play was 10 to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel. I tried to think of a way to help. Then it hit me---Kevin knew the 11 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermit to give her my 12 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood on the stage in costume(戏服) and makeup. The amusing lines he had 13 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 14 the day for everyone by working as a team.

Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have missed my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely 15 to have such a good friend.

　　In the future, humans may no longer have to slave over a hot stove．It's the end of a tiring day at work and you can't face cooking dinner．In this situation, most people would order a pizza or run down to the neighborhood noodle shop for takeout．

　　What if there was another option?What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your very own kitchen robot?It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the University of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making this scenario(情景)a reality．The team recently introduced a humanoid(像人的)kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests．When teatime is over, the robot can even wash the dishes and put them away．

　　In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed．Called the Readybot, it can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets or put them in the trash．It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself．Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot is not humanoid．Instead, it looks more like a large box with arms and wheels．

　　Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge．They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks．Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can tackle jobs not only in kitchen but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well．

　　Clearly there are technological hurdles to overcome before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns．Not everyone(especially parents)would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house, manipulating(使用，操作)hot pans and sharp knives．The European Commission recently funded a project to study these concerns．According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish,“Enabling robots to interact safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics．”
