How soon will robots become so clever that they will be able to do jobs which human can do, such as teaching language or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen in twenty years.
UAS, one London company, has already developed a kind of machine. ①It can be used as “home-helps” for old people. It can also do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor. The company says that the machine will accept simple voice instructions and that the machine will be controlled by a latest IBM microcomputer (微机). Mr. Henry, the director of UAS, believes that his company will develop the clever robots for using in industry. By this time they will begin to sell the machines into ordinary homes.
Robots can do much housework, such as washing dishes, cleaning the house and cooking meals. ②By the way, the price of them may be as little as$1,000.
But Dr. Sandra believes we have a long way to develop truly intelligent (真正智能化的) machines. She says, it can cook an egg. But if one of eggs is bad, it will still cook. If you ask a robot to do something unusual that needs a man to think, a robot is useless.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
