All living things need energy to live and grow．This energy comes first from the sun．Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food．Animals can not make their own food，and they eat plants．Other animals then eat the plant eaters．

A food chain shows what eats what．It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zabras．

Lions also eat other animals．Zebras eat other kinds of plants．So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy．

A food web shows how food chains work together．From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals．

Plants and animals that live in hot，dry deserts depend on water as well as food．Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water．Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats．Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water．They get all the water they need from the plants they eat．Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food．Ringtail cats also come out only at night．Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats．Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats．

Nothing is wasted in a food web，Vultures eat dead animals．Vultures are scavengers．Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food．They eat animals that are already dead．When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies，it makes a meal for the vultures．Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean．

In 1986，the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human﹣like robot，to help in home，play football，balance on one foot，and even dance．Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO．It could walk on uneven（不平坦的） surfaces，and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs．

More recently，ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour，using its upper body to control movement．

ASIMO is designed to be friendly．It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home．Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities．It can also push a cart（手推车） and open and close doors．ASIMO can even shake hands．It stands 120centimeters tall，so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down．It can hold two kilos in its hands．It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents．

So，where next for this kind of robot？Well，while ASIMO is attractive，it is still controlled by a human．Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them，and give a reply to human touch and voice．The robots are even learning to recognize（辨认） objects，people and vocabulary．Soon the descendants（后代） of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work．

69．At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved？

70．Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart？

71．Why is ASIMO designed to be 120centimeters tall？

72．How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands？

73．Put the main ideas （A﹣D） in the order that the passage is arranged．

A．Users for ASIMO

B．What similar robots will be able to do in the future

C．Background and history of ASIMO

D．Recent improvements to ASIMO
