“Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story ! ”Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly. Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping.“Terrific, ” the director said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(过道).“Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more? ”
The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.“Perfect,” the director said. “Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If' only I could read to my real grandchild!
I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of' it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son’s ex-wife (前妻),but it seemed that she didn’t want to be found.
I'd just joined this new church a week earlier and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of' the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there, ”one of' my friends said.
Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments (茶点).I walked over to one of the girls in the play. Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind (一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter? ” I joked.
“Fine !” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question.“What's your mother's name? ”
She told me, I was still in shock.“And what's your father's name? ”I asked. She told me.It was my son.
She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of 'the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.

I visited the nearby car factory today with my uncle,
who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work is now done by
robots. Welding (
焊接), painting, testing, and many other jobs are performed by robots
now.
The whole dashboard (
仪表板) of the car is now put into the
car from above, through the windshield, by a robot. It would have taken two men
to do this in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got
me thinking: is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On
one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They aren’t
likely to make many mistakes, and if something goes wrong with one car, an
alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing, every time, without fail. A
human worker is never able to do exactly the same thing every time. On the
other hand, robots also reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay
robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if they’re
broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off
work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks
his back or burn himself while welding.
The obvious downside to all of this is that it
increases the unemployment rate.
The company will have to bring in some very talented
individuals who know how to operate the robots. Unlike regular factory workers,
these intelligence workers usually demand a higher pay.
1.We
can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
A.all the workers are replaced by robots now B.robots do much of the work instead of workers now C.there were no workers in the car factory D.the author’s uncle made robots in the factory
2.According to the text robots _______.
A.can do work as accurately as workers B.never break down C.can do exactly the same thing repeatedly D.ask for less money from companies
3.The underlined word "downside" in the last
paragraph probably means "_______".
A.weakness B.favor C.assistance D.strength
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that
_______.
A.companies
refuse to pay for intelligence workers
B.robots have
helped all of the workers C.robots can help solve the problem of unemployment D.using robots
in factories widely will have a long way to go
5.What is the author’s attitude towards using robots
in factories?
A.He is doubtful about it. B.He thinks it necessary. C.He is strongly against it. D. The text doesn’t mention it.
