Inventors are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, greener and a whole lot more fun. Take a look at the following breakthroughs in science and technology. What in the world will inventors dream up next?
Superhero Suit
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a superhero? Dream no more. There’s a real Iron Man suit, XOS 2, which instantly transforms the person wearing it. The suit provides the power to lift 200 pounds with ease and break slabs（厚片）of wood with a single karate chop. It was designed to help the military with heavy lifting. One person in the suit could do the work of three soldiers.
Up, Up and Away!
It took him 30 years to develop it, and now Glen Martin’s invention is ready to take off. The Martin Jetpack allows its operator to fly 8,000 feet into the air. Unfortunately, you can’t soar through the skies too long. The jetpack holds only 30 minutes’ worth of fuel. The aircraft will sell for $100,000.
Hardworking Robot
The EMIEW2 robot is the perfect office helper. Need a document delivered? No problem! It can also guide visitors to their destinations. The three-foot-tall robot can identify different human voices and respond to commands. One day, it may serve as a receptionist or a security guard.
Green Machine
Say goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won’t pollute the environment. A high-pressure air tank can fill the car in minutes. The three-wheeler can travel about 130 miles between fill-ups.
Beef Power
All aboard the beef train! Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer runs partly on fuel that is made from cow fat. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 10%. The train travels between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Fort Worth, Texas.
Robo-Guard
EMILY is a robotic, four-foot-long buoy (救生圈). She can swim through riptides (激流) at up to 24 miles per hour. Her inventor, Tony Mulligan, says that’s 15 times as fast as human lifeguards! EMILY is powered by a tiny electric pump and operated by remote control.
【小题1】What is the disadvantage of Glen Martin’s invention?

A．It uses large amounts of fuel.B．It only flies at low altitudes.
C．It needs a big landing field.D．It has a small gas tank.
【小题2】Which of the following inventions may be popular with modern companies?

Dear Sirs,

As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro-Robo seen in local media in California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads (attached to this letter) published the week of November 15.

Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle class parents. Further, your product is violent in nature. Your advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have.

I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.

Sincerely yours,

(Mrs.) Alma Hernandez

President, Parents for Non violent Toys

Enclosed Advertisement:

It’s Here! Ready for You, Now!  It’s Electro Robo!

Every boy dreams of being in control of a robot, and AmToy can make your dream come true! Electro-Robo is the world’s first fully automatic robot with radio control. Standing 80 centimeters tall, Electro-Robo is like a friend at home. He can walk, talk, and even shake your hand! He has two guns and laser eyes to help you defend yourself when you go outside with him. Every boy needs Electro-Robo!

Ask your Mom and Dad to buy Electro-Robo for your birthday or for Christmas, which is coming up soon. Imagine that you are in control of your friend for life, Electro- Robo!

Available at all toy stores and department stores NOW!

1.What is the purpose of the letter?

A．To complain about a broken toy.

     Back in the 1970s, the robots were coming for our boring manufacturing (生产) jobs.Now, they're
coming for our boring table service jobs.Korean company ITM Technology has developed the restaurant
concept around a little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter.Robo Caf? avoids ordering errors, reduces
staffing costs greatly for restaurant owners, and even brings the boss all the tips.
     Japan is preparing for some very tough times ahead.When its aging population become too old to
work, labor is going to be in severe shortage.So inventive technology departments are exploding with really fascinating ideas to take the pressure off when it hits.
     To small caf? and restaurant owners, the solution might well look something like Robo Café, a
restaurant designed to operate as efficiently as possible with the absolute minimum human workforce
possible.The building needs to be designed with small horizontal (水平的) pathways leading from the kitchen to all the tables.A small team of waiter robots can then get around to every table in the house when they're asked to come.Customers can either order orally, or touch a screen on the robot's belly.When the
kitchen has finished preparing the food, the robot brings it out to customers.
     Dan Carlin talks about the "kitchen of the future ", where everything is automated and the labor is free
because you own it.Really, the_kitchen_of_the_future_is actually_the_kitchen of_the_past, when you
consider that throughout human history, there have been many examples of slaves working for no pay.
     As Carlin points out, today's concept of slavery is mostly restricted to nonhumans.And the ownership
of robot labor in a Robo Caf ?type situation will almost certainly prove itself far more economical and
dependable than a human workforce once the technology itself becomes mature.Of course, slaves have a worrying habit of rising up against their owners.
1. According to the passage, the robots that were invented in the last century could________.
A. do some work that people dare not do

C. do some housework such as table service work
D. save people from having to do some boring manufacturing work
2. According to the passage, what will a Robo Café-type restaurant be like?
A. Most of the work will be done by robots.
B. Owners needn't pay for the labour of their employees.
C. Robot waiters are designed to serve customers voluntarily.
D. The building will be designed for the convenience of customers.
3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Employees depend on owners of restaurants as before.
B. Technology won't change the core of the kitchen.
C. Labor free of charge can be used in the kitchen again.
D. Labor free of charge is no longer limited to humans.
