Robot guides the blind
     Guide dogs are good friends and helpers for blind people. Now, a new kind of robot can also do the
same job.
     NSK, a Japanese robotics company, is hard at work on a robot guide dog. The robot makes good
use of wheels on its four legs to roll (滾動(dòng)) around on the floor. It can also lift its legs to climb up and
down stairs.
     Blind people can give orders to the robot by touching handgrips(手柄). The robot also talks in a
woman's voice to let its human owner know what's going on. Such robots will probably never take the
place of real dogs, but they have their own advantages. They can use GPS and street maps to lead their
owners to the places they want to go.
1. What is the title of the passage?
    ________________________
2. A robot guide dog is invented in ______
3. The robot has ______ legs to roll around on the floor.

Robots in class

    Over 600,000 children in the United States spend their long time in hospital each year．Many of them say that they have difficult in returning to school after hospital stays．Thanks to technology，kids who are sick in the hospital no longer have to miss time in the classroom．

    A program called PEBBLES makes it possible for kids in hospital to take part in classroom discussions by using robot．PEBBLES(Providing Education by Bringing Environments to Students)supplies robots to help kids who are staying in hospital keep up with their classmates．

    For Achim Nurse，a 13-yers-old patient at Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla，New York，PEBBLES helped him so much．When he first learned about the program，he wasn’t so sure it would work．    

   “When I first saw it，it looked difficult，”said Achim．

    However，after 30 minutes of working with the robot，Achim discovered that he had gotten good at operating it．

    The robots work in pairs—一one in the hospital with the student，the other in the classroom．

    The robot at the school has four wheels．so it can move around from class to class．Its“face” is an auto-focus(可以自動(dòng)調(diào)焦的)camera．By using a control box，the student call turn the robot’s head，raise its hand，and adjust the volume(音量)．It is even equipped with a scanner(掃描器)and printer，so if the teacher want to have an exercise or testing class，the student can participate from the hospital．

   “The robot is greeted by students in the classroom．It is also greeted by the sick student�！眘aid Andrew Summa，national director of the robot project．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面各題。

1．Try to use the phrase underlined in the first paragraph to make a sentence．

2．Guess the Chinese meaning of“keep up with”．

3．The robot is greeted by students in the classroom．It is also greeted by the student in the hospital．(改寫(xiě)為同義句)

4．According to the passage，we can know that____

  A．We can operate this kind of robot easily．   

  B．the student in hospital cannot adjust the volume by using control box．

  C．The teacher wants to have a test in the class now. Although the student in the hospital has this kind of robot，he also cannot participate it．

5．What do you think of the robot project in the United States? Do you think it can help sick students? What do you think are its limitations?
