“It is in the end a machine, a 54 ” said Masato Hirose, Honda’s chief engineer. Sony’s chief researcher Toshi Doi said robots performing such tasks as 55 for ill or disabled people would not necessarily need a human 56 . “The attractiveness of the SDR—4X is its 57 ”, he said. “It has feelings. It has instincts (直覺).”
Drawing from its 58 of 60,000 words, an SDX—4X robot 59 last week that it can ask a 60 in a high voice: “please 61 still for a minute while I memorize your face.” It also 62 off its ability to walk on uneven (高低不平的) floors, and come to its owner when it’s 63 .
While Honda’s robot is 64 used mainly for entertainment, it is 65 that one day it will be a useful companion. So its robots have been 66 to be 120cm tall—more than twice the height of the SDR—4X. Hirose said 120cm is the 67 a robot that moves around a home should be.
“If you are going to have something that can move with 68 in a human surroundings, then it is better to 69 the robot like a human,” he said.
Hirose said that he hopes the robot will be 70 enough so that he can buy one for himself and let it get him a beer.

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how tomanage their money.
Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投資)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she’s 65,she would have $980,983!
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.“You might say, ‘I’d rather save that money for your education,’” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

The Internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village——you can make new friends all around the world. That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the Internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
The problem is twofold（雙重的）. First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest in then. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.
This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.
1.The number of friends we can keep relationships with is decided by______.
A. the Internet B. the time we have C. the place we live D. the mind
2.The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. appointment B. connection C. interview D. agreement
3.The author holds the view that___________.
A. the Internet helps to keep in touch with friends far away
B. the Internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the Internet is of no value in social communication
4.What will the author encourage us to do?
A. To keep in touch with old friends when we have moved away.
B. To chat with friends often on the Internet.
C. To make more new friends face to face.
D. To stop using the Internet to make new friends.
5.What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the Internet to strengthen relationships?
A. He thinks it useless B. He is hopeful of it.
C. He approves of it. D. He doubts it.
