Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions（伙伴） than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

1.How are social robots different from household robots?

A. They can control their emotions.

B. They are more like humans.

C. They do the normal housework.

D. They respond to users more slowly.

2.What can Oshbot work as?

A. A language teacher.

B. A tour guide.

C. A shop assistant.

D. A private nurse.

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

A. train employees B. be our workmates

C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers

4.What does the passage mainly present?

A. A new design idea of household robots.

B. Marketing strategies for social robots.

C. Information on household robots.

D. An introduction to social robots.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：廣東省揭陽(yáng)市、揭東一中2016-2017學(xué)年高一下學(xué)期期末聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.

Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.

But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us face it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse (咒罵) or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.

Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick (磚) house, than the people, in the house on the corner, who no one ever sees.

1.This passage is mainly to tell us________.

A. how to keep your child safe in the neighborhood

B. how to set a good example to your neighbors

C. how to get along with your neighbors

D. how to teach your child to protect himself

2.If someone resides two doors down, he________.

A. studies at the same school with your kid

B. often comes to the neighborhood to offer help

C. lives in the same neighborhood as you

D. likes driving the truck around the neighborhood[

3.The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. becoming very excited

B. becoming very worried

C. becoming very disappointed

D. becoming very relaxed

4.From the third paragraph we can know that________.

A. it is important for you to be polite to your neighbors

B. people in the same neighborhood are quite different

C. people like enjoying themselves on the playground

D. knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe
