In some science fiction movies，the robots are just like humans. They help with the housework and do the most 1 jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future.2, they agree it may 3hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots 4people and do the same things as us.
But robot scientist James White 5. He thinks that it will be 6 for a robot to do the samethings as a person. 7 , it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are. Mr White thinks that robots won't be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will be able to talk to people 8 25 to 50 years.
Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example, there are already robots 9 in factories. They do simple jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. But robots will 10 get bored.
In the future，there will be more robots everywhere，and humans will have 11 work to do. New robots will have many different 12. Some will look like humans, and 13 might look like snakes. After anearthquake（地震），a snake robot could help look for people under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric tooth brushes 14 impossible a hundred years ago. We never know 15 will happen in the future!
Computers are very important for the students now. For the city students, it's very easy to find a place to surf the Internet(网上冲浪). And for the village students, they can go to the Internet bar(网吧). Most of them spend more than two hours there, and some of them even spend more than eight hours there every day. They can do their homework, download(下载) some information for their homework, download music, send emails and play games.Most of them spend too much time playing games, so it's bad for their study.
Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history.
The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may have seen robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger, faster and cleverer than people. In real life, most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous, difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example, some people can't see. Many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog. Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.
In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of humans. They can, however, help us in a lot of different ways.
