Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history. The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may see 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 meals 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.
In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human help. They can, however, help us in a lot of different ways.
參考答案:机器人似乎对大多数人来说是个新事物。但他们有一段很长的历史。第一个机器人是被一个希腊发明家制造的。你也许可以在许多电影里看见机器人。大多数机器人被用于工厂中。他们被用来做一些危险的，困难的或乏味的工作。一些人不能照顾自己而机器人可以被用来帮助照顾他们。例如，一些人看不见东西，他们中的一些大多用狗来帮助他们移动。这种狗称为导盲犬。科学家正制造机器人来帮助他们。未来机器狗将代替这些导盲犬。
机器人也用于美国医院。在一家医院，机器人把食物从厨房拿到病人房间。他们从不迷路因为他们有一张地图在他们电脑系统中。未来，机器人将在太空工作。但机器人将永远不会代替人。然而，他们可以在许多方面帮助我们。
