Robots may seem smart, but they cannot even pick up a chess piece. Let’s take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but not for robots.
Pick things up
Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil. Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its “hand” to the right place. When we touch the pencil, it might roll（滚动） a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.
Get around in large space
If someone drops us in a building we’ve never been to, we might feel a bit lost. But we can look around, find a door and get out quickly. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings（天花板） and floors. This is because it’s hard for them to understand spaces, especially large, blank things such as walls or ceilings.
Understand the world made by people
“Common sense” is what we don’t need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we do not look for doors on the ceiling. We pick up a coffee cup by its handle（把手）. We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it’s hot.
A robot? It may turn the cup upside down. It may hold the hot part of the cup. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But even huge databases（数据库） don’t help much. Maybe they need more time to learn.

Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.Everything you need is close at hand.

Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.
To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.
However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.
“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”
Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.
Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.Sea bacteria are _______ for people.
| A．helpful | B．harmful | C．important | D．necessary |
Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?
| A．Because they eat a lot of seaweed. |
| B．Because they were born with such an enzyme. |
| C．Because they get more energy from food. |
| D．Because they like to eat food full of bacteria. |
Which of the following is FALSE?
| A．The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed. |
| B．All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme. |
| C．All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme. |
| D．The enzyme helps people to get more energy. |
According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.
| A．5% | B．14% | C．35% | D．60% |
Which of the following food has the enzyme?
| A．Restaurant sushi. | B．Restaurant seaweed. |
| C．Uncooked seaweed. | D．Seaweed soup. |
Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.
First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh, my God! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.
| A．Barbara was a very rich person |
| B．Mark often forgot his friends’ names |
| C．examples of memory problems |
| D．language problems of two persons |
When you forget things, you ________.
| A．must be too careless |
| B．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory |
| C．must accept the fact |
| D．shouldn’t take notice of the result |

| A．places | B．activities | C．positions | D．chances |
According to the passage, ________ can make your memory better.
| A．realizing your memory problems |
| B．talking to your friends |
| C．making mind pictures of what you see |
| D．doing sports every day |
The purpose of the passage is to help you ________.
