It’s Tommy’s birthday party. It is a great day for him, because everyone (人人) in his family is here today. “I love everyone in America!” Tommy says after making a wish. “Why do you only love people in America?” asks his father, “People all over the world (世界) need your love.”

“I don’t think so,” says Tommy, “We are far away from people in other countries (国家), I don’t need them, and they don’t need me.”

“Oh, no.” Tommy’s sister Jane says, “People are not far away from each other today. We are in a big family.”

“Look at all the presents (礼物) on the desk,” says Aunt Jenny. “How many of them are from other countries?” “Here is some nice food,” says his mother. “It’s from China.” “This watch comes from Japan (日本).” says Jane.

“Look at that shirt. It’s from England,”says his grandfather.

“How great it is!” Tommy says. “The whole (整个的) world helps us live a beautiful life. I love the whole world, and I want to help, too!”

The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.

Robots also helpdisabledpeople, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.

One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.

In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
