(strange) human and speak so smoothly that they almost outdo people.
(Japan) robotics expert Ishiguro says they will be
(use) for research on how people interact with robots and on how humans are different from machines. “
(make) robots is about exploring
it means to be human,” he says, “and examining the question of what is emotion, what is awareness, and what is thinking.”
In a demonstration，the remote-controlled machines moved their pink lips time to a voice-over, twitched their eyebrows，blinked and swayed their heads from side to side. They stayed
(seat) but could move their hands.
In a clear presentation, a robot read the news without stumbling（结巴）once and recited complex tongue-twisters. The robot, designed with a girlish appearance，can use a variety of voices，such as a deep male voice one minute and a soft girly voice the next. The speech can be input by text, giving them perfect (pronounce)，according to the designers.

(long) suitable for him to play with. We agreed that all the money
(make) from selling the toys would go to our son.
We decided to sell the toys our son no longer liked and a little bike that was too small for him. The little bike, a bit old, was still in good condition.
We charged $ 10 for the bike, it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was over, my husband put it on the roadside with a sign, on
were written “FREE BIKE”. Soon our doorbell rang. A little boy stood outside,
(ask) in poor English whether the bike was really free. I said yes and that he could have it
nothing. He smiled, got on the bike and
(happy) rode away.
Later that evening I told my son that the old bike had been given to the little boy for free. He smiled, obviously happy (hear) that someone else would make good use of that little bike.

I once took a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk, with Pepsi can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes, who was living on collecting used cans and tins, moved slowly towards me, with a bag on the back.
(walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes
my can. At that time, I hadn’t finished my cola,
I gave several coins instead.
She stared at me for a few seconds and handed back the money. Quite (confuse), I asked, “Why not? Isn’t that what you want?”
“I am not a beggar,” she said seriously, word by word. Instantly, I felt so sorry. I (intend) to help her, but I
(complete) misunderstood her. Thus I hurt her.
I could do at that moment was to drink up the cola and hand her the emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with
(satisfy) and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a person. I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.
