My name is Wang Hong. My grandparents’ home is very far from our home. They live in a mountain village. It is about 500 kilometres from our home to their home. When we go there, we should get up early and have a quick breakfast. We leave home at seven o’clock. First we take the bus to the train station, and then we take the train to a city. It takes us about three hours. After we get off the train, we take the bus to a town. The bus ride takes about one hour. After we get to the town, we ride bikes to my grandparents’ home. My grandparents are very happy to see us. My grandmother cooks supper for us. I like to talk to my grandfather. He is very funny. He likes to tell stories. We usually have a good day there.

Do you know the movie I, Robot? It tells us a story about the future.

The year is 2035 and robots are just as common as mobile phones. People depend on (依靠) them to do lots of things, for example, babysitting, cooking, doing chores and taking their dogs for a walk. Robots have to obey (听从) humans’ orders, because their designers make them do so. A police officer called Spooner hates robots. He doesn’t think humans can get on well with their robots at all! But the scientist Susan has different opinions. Susan works on robots’ mind and she thinks one day robots will become more powerful (强大的) than humans and help humans to make progress (进步).

When Spooner and Susan work together, they find that something is wrong with the world’s robots. A few robots have their own thoughts and they’re trying to get out of humans’ control (控制)! Of course these robots’ dream doesn’t come true. Humans work hard to control their robots again and they succeed at last.
