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 cant look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example, some people cant see. Many of these people used a dog to help themselves move round. 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 peoples room. 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. True or False: ( T )1. Robots have a long history. ( T )2. Robots are stronger and faster than people in some films. ( T )3. We use robots to do many dangerous and difficult jobs in our life. ( F )4. A guide dog can help scientists to make a robot. ( F )5. A robot can cook meals for the sick people in an American hospital. B. Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van. A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel together. Niepce and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. Their sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents home, the suitcases are brought into the two seats so that they can carry the grandparents. Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are travelling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are travelling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.

Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most adults sleep only seven or eight hours. But babies, children, and adults all of us need to have our sleep. All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. When we run fast, our legs work hard. They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard too. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us. We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains arent resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake. Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream. But even as we sleep our brains are doing some work. Instead of thinking wide-awake thoughts, our brains make up dreams. Some dreams are very pleasing. Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up. Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep and to dream. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the next night, too, and the day after. The people became very sleepy. They tried to read but could not follow the words. They played games, but they made mistakes. They forgot things. It was hard for their tired brains to work. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. When they sat down, they fell asleep. Scientists have found that if people are not allowed to sleep and to dream, they act strangely. No one knows quite why sleep is so good for us. But we do know that we need it to stay well. So tonight have a good sleep. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts wander. Soon youll stop thinking. Youll fall asleep. Answer the questions: 1. Who need the most sleep? _Babies_2. Why do people need to sleep? Because all parts of _our bodies have to rest_ after they work. 3. What do our brains do when we sleep and dream? Our brains _slow down a bit_4. When do our brains sometimes make up dreams? _When we sleep_5. What happened after people stayed up for some days? It was hard for _their tired brains to work_6. Nobody knows why sleep is so good for us, does he? _No, he doesnt . _VII. Cloze test: A. Three men came to London for their holidays. They came to a high hotel and lived in a room on the _1_ floor.
