Robot revolution

　　 The day that a robot wakes you up, cleans your room and walks your dog might still be a few decades off. But increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to make the leap from the factory floor to your family room.

Companies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. On the cover of a recent issue of Scientist American magazine, Bill Gates predicted the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”.

What’s behind this new era(时代)？It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk , crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient.

A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier.

Also take into consideration the increasing wealth of rich people, the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives.

To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk people are still too complex for our present engineering abilities. Today’s robot revolution is to make them for everyday use. Robots will do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening, or just help you have more fun on the basketball court.

What makes a robot different from an ordinary cleaning machine is not the presence of computer chips(芯片). Nowadays even your microwave has a computer chip. It is the ability to sense and make changes to the environment in real time.

For example, a floor-cleaning robot should be able to sense your scared cat and move out of the way. Today’s computing ability is, for the first time, able to make machines that could “think”, at least in certain limited ways.

第二节　 完型填空　 (共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 36 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 37 in class.

When I took the first exam, I was 38 to find a 77, C + - plus, on my test paper, 39 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 40 .

I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 41 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 42 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 43 .

One more test before the final exam. One more 44 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time 45 the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 46 did no good and everything 47 as before.

The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what 48 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C+-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49 goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 50 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51 with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He 52 to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A’s you 53 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”

I stared at him, 54 that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head 55 , as I had never done before.

I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
