Whenever in our small-town _ with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favourite candy on the shelf.Once I noticed a man pushing buttons on the ATM machine. He seemed to be hurriedly waiting for his cash to appear. He quickly got a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously I walked over and saw a beautiful $100 bill at the bottom of the machine. _ I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear.

We went over and asked if he had left money at the cash machine.Let me _, he said, pulling out his wallet and bill. One hundred, two hundred, three.Oh!Youre right, he said with surprise.

I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops. At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.From a neurological point of view, I do not see anything in theway to people bonding (纽带) fully with robotic pets. The humanbrain can attach (赋予) emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling. Being alive is simply not required. From how objects move, our brains infer that they are able to act with their own willand purpose. If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive (被动的) movement, then they must be moving on their own. Therefore, theycan connect to the emotional centers in our brains. We either fear them, or love them, orhunger for them, or whatever. We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures, withanimals, and yes, even with robots. Our brains treat things that act alive as if they arealiveno different.One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave, not just look. This gets to AI, which has been developing at a fast pace. We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go. I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic (模仿) the behavior of dogs and cats, if not now then probably within a generation.So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesnt mean we would prefer such a pet. One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live petbut this is likely not to be true forever. Living pets need to be fed, and they need at least basic medical care, and they may need to be boarded at times. Also, people spend hundreds of dollars on pets, _or thousands of dollars on purebred species. Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.But lets get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last. The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless. An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system. You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries. They could be a walking cell phone. They would be excellent companions for the elder, affording them more independence for longer. This in itself would be a huge cost savinganything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.Imagination is really the only limitation, once you have the basics of a working robot. When the technology crosses a certain limit, this will be a thing. Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive (原始的) and cruel. They may have a point.11 . Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?AThey can respond to our reactions.BThey can move actively and freely.COur brains can treat things differently.DOur brains can attach emotions to them.12 . According to the passage, we know that .Arobotic pets will be cost effective in the futureBpresent AI can mimic all the behaviors of live petsCthe elder prefer to have robotic pets as companionsDthe young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets13 . The writer probably agrees that .Alive pets will serve us betterBit is easier to keep live pets at homeCtechnology ensures robotic pets a bright futureDimagination limits the development of robotic petsSydney Fredette is very busy. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas.
