Give up books that you don’t enjoy.

Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”

It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids… and for the family drivers!

A.They can get bored easily about everything.

【2】What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?

A.It is productive.B.It is helpful.C.It is a bad habit.D.It is a waste of time.

【3】Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?

A.Because children have no time.

B.Because children cannot learn many things.

C.Because children do not have enough sleep.

D.Because children cannot focus on too many activities.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Don’t be children’s drivers after school.

B.Choose activities for your children wisely.

C.Make your children learn as much as possible.

D.Let children learn something from various subjects.

Researchers believe we are on the cusp (过渡点) of a robot revolution that will mirror the quick growth of the computer revolution. They are developing new laws for robot behavior, and designing new ways for humans and robots to communicate.

“I think robots will change who we are, just as eyeglasses and fire changed who we were before, says Rodney Brooks, a director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Some ideas and technologies may sound like science fiction, but they are fast becoming science fact. Robots scientists invented are already beginning to perform everyday tasks like cleaning our floors. The latest types from Japan are able to help the elderly to get out of bed or get up after a fall. They can also remind them when to take medication (药物), or even help wash their hair.

“Robot now are not human-like. For example they are things like automatic (自动的) beds and wheelchairs,” says Prof Hiroshi Ishiguro at Osaka University, Japan. He believes the time is coming when robots start looking less like machines, and more like us. “In the near future we are going to use more human-like robots. I really think so, says Prof Ishiguro.

Prof Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California agrees. “I’m very excited about the fact that today we are trying to make robots that look like human beings,” she says.

“I believe we love robots because they’re reflections (反映) of ourselves,” says Ken Goldberg, director of the Berkeley Center for New Media at the University of California at Berkeley.

“Robots could be used in education, learning, and healthcare, where social support is important,” says Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at MIT.

【1】Who believes that robots will bring great changes to our lives?

A. Rodney Brooks. B. Hiroshi Ishiguro.

【2】Which of the following proverbs can best express the idea of the paragraph 4?

C. Where there is life, there is hope. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

【3】According to the text, future robots will .

A. become smaller B. cheaper

C. be more like machines D. be more like humans

【4】What would he the best title for this passage?

A. Ready for the Robot Revolution?

B. The Uses of Future Robots

C. The Changes for the Future World

D. Happy About Scientific Development?
