What will your life be like if you have a robot
重點探究
Free Talk
A. Daniel is very interested in robots. He found an interesting story in this month's Robot magazine. Here is the story.
The home robot
Mr Jiang is a manager of a big company in Sunshine Town. He is always too busy to have any time to relax. “l have to buy a robot so that I can have more free time,” Mr Jiang thought. So he ordered one from a robot shop.
The robot made Mr Jiang's life much easier. When he got up in the morning, breakfast was made, his business suit was smoothly ironed, and his lunch box was already prepared. That made him very happy.
While Mr Jiang was at work, the robot would do all the housework. It would go shopping at the supermarket as well.
When Mr Jiang returned home from work, his flat would look as good as new, and a delicious dinner would be ready for him. After dinner, the robot would tidy up. That allowed Mr Jiang to do whatever he liked. He would watch TV or do some reading. It seemed that in general the robot satisfied Mr Jiang's needs.
After a few comfortable weeks, however, things started to go wrong. The robot caught a virus and no longer worked properly. It began to make stupid mistakes. Sometimes it woke Mr Jiang up at four o'clock in the morning. When Mr Jiang got home, he would find his flat in a complete mess: food was laid on the bed; milk was stored in the rubbish bin; coins, bills and his private papers were spread all over the floor. Moreover, the robot moved too fast on its wheels and often knocked things over. Mr Jiang did not know what to do with it.
In the end, Mr Jiang decided to return the robot to the robot shop. Robots can help people a lot, but they can also be too much trouble!
