They easily bullied（欺负）him into letting them stay up to watch the late-night creature features. It was fun, they said, being scared sockless by vampires（吸血鬼）, wolfmen and other not-so-nice people. They could handle the late nights; what they couldnt were the nightmares（梦魇）. Watching such fearsome flicks as the Curse of the Yeti（雪人）, the Dread of Dracula, Fangs of the Wolfman and More Dread of Dracula had resulted in the most terrifying nightmares imaginable. Once Cleo dreamed she was at a disco wearing a fur coat which turned into a yeti that totally ruined her evening by eating her boyfriend. Ant had a frightful dream about being a wolfman, going all hairy and getting locked in the dog house where he was bullied by a brainsick huge dog. And the nightmare that caused Cleo to wake up in a cold sweat was all about a pale, toothy plumber（水暖工）who kept trying to fit a tap to her neck. Uncle Jeremiah sighed again.

ATRU (Advanced Tactical Robotic Unit) is the next weapon in the war on crime. Now in development by a team of robot specialists, ATRU is a 1,000-pound fighting machine that can zero in on bad guys and wipe them out without sacrificing innocent lives. “ARTU is an efficient and effective tool against crime,” said one of the robot policemans developers. “We still have some finishing touches to do, but within a few months, we plan to approach the Los Angeles Police Department about adding him to the police force.”The Los Angeles Police Department already has several robots, including one used for seeking out objects or criminals and one that can be programmed for tasks such as lifting dangerous objects, firing a water cannon（大炮）or exploding a bomb. ARTUs creators say their robot combines the separate capabilities of all those machines into one single, powerful unit that does it all. Better still, ARTU can make its way into confined spaces, unlike the present ones used. He stands eight-feet tall when fully extended with fully flexible arms and legs, rather than being a square, tank-like vehicle with limited mobility. ARTU can also carry out many other police duties besides the ones mentioned. “Hes an all-purpose crime fighter,” says one team member. “He can handle terrorist situations, explosive devices, armed robberies, security in large crowds and even missing-person searches in disaster situations.”ARTU is also fitted with a body heat sensor that enables it to detect criminals in hiding, or victims trapped in fallen buildings. The robot carries a fully automatic weapon that he can fire with 100 percent accuracy. If that is not enough to scare suspects off, ARTUs specially-programmed brain also allows him to sense a hostile(敌意的,危险的) action in milliseconds. “The real beauty of that”, says a team member, “is that we dont have to worry about the ARTU making a mistake and shooting unarmed people who look like theyre raising a gun. He can make the kin
