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 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.

What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly (确切地), but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions.     16    

First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students.     17     So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.   

Second, cars will become very small and computers will control (控制) their speed.     18     Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel.

Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars.     19     So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.

Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems.     20    

A．The earth won’t be crowded or noisy.

B．People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling.

C．There will be more cars and pollution.

D．Here are some of his ideas.

E．If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars in 50 years.

F．So there will be fewer accidents on the road.

G．People can make more robots to work for us.

Hi David,

What a great idea! I really like Ms. Steen a lot. She helped me to improve my English so much. I’m sad to see her go, and the party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks. I can help to bring Ms. Steen to the party. I already have a great idea about how to do that.

He Wei

Hi David,

Thanks so much for planning this. I’d love to come to the party, but I’m not available. My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle. However, I’d still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations, like planning the games. Let me know if you need my help.

Jake

Dear classmates,

As I’m sure you know by now, our favorite teacher, Ms. Steen, is leaving soon to go back to the US. We’re very sad that she’s leaving because she is a fun teacher. To show how much we’re going to miss her, let’s have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th! Can you come to the party? If so, can you help with any of these things?

Please tell me by this Friday.

1)Buy food and drinks.
2)Think of games to play.
3) Prepare things we need for the games (glue, paper, pens.)
4)Bring Ms. Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.
I look forward to hearing from you all.

David
