八年级英语下,unit 1 ,Will people have robots?
In some science fiction movies, people in the future have their own robots. These robots are just like humans. They
help with the housework, and do the most unpleasant jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds
of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look
like people, and do the same things as us. Japanese
companies have already made robots walk and dance.
This kind of robot will also be fun to watch.
But robot scientist James White disagrees.He
thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the
same things as a person. For example, it’s easy for a
child to wake up and know where they are. Mr
White thinks that robots won’t be able to do this.
But other scientists disagree. They think that robots
will be able to talk to people in 25 to 50 years.
Robot scientists are not just trying to
make robots look like people. For example,
there are already robots working in factories.
These robots look more like huge arms. They
do simple jobs over and over again. People
would not like to do such jobs and would get
bored. But robots will never get bored.
In the future, there will be more robots everywhere,
and humans will have less work to do. New robots will
have many different shapes. Some will look like
humans, and others might look like snakes. After an
earthquake, a snake robot could help look for people
under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but
computers, space rockets and even electric
toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago.
We never know what will happen in the future!
