Future! What an exciting

Very often I ask
myself:
great achievement in the
future? Will my future be a bed of rose? Can I
grasp the chances when they come to me?
In ten years or more, will I be working
as a scientist, a teacher or a soldier? After
work, what other things can I
do? Maybe
I can go to many places and see the world. And
I'll have more leisure hours for books. There are
so many
books I want to read. I'll go
swimming in the real sea, and to skate on real
ice!
Facing the future, I
couldn't help feeling excited. As a junior middle
school student, first of all I must study hard,
keep fit and work well. Furthermore, I
will learn English well. I'll do my best and I'm
sure I'll achieve success.
I
feel confident for my future.

(
读短文，选择最佳答案。
)
People began to
make robots about several hundred years ago. In
the past, some of the early ones looked like
animals or humans. However, they
couldn't talk and were pretty dumb. They worked
like clocks and did the same
things
over and over.
Now modern robots don't always look
like people. Some are like big machines; others
are nothing but long arms
attached to
boxy (
箱子般四方
) bodies.
However, modern robots are smart. Some can solve
problems on their own.
Their brains are
computers and their eyes are sensors
(
传感器
). Motors
(
发动机
) help them
move.
In the future, robots will learn from
their mistakes more than they do now. They will be
smarter. It's possible that
we will
have robot judges, robot house-hold workers, and
robot factory workers. Robots will help people to
do more
things.

根据短文判断对错。
< br>)
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.

People use
money to buy food, books and hundreds of other
things they need. When they work, they usually get
paid in money.
Most of the money used today is made of
metal or paper. But in the time long ago, people
used to use all kinds of
things as
money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
In China, cloth and knives
were used as money. Elephant
tusks(
牙
), monkey tail and
salt were used in some parts
of the
world. Rice was also a kind of money used by the
people in some islands. Some animals were used as
money,
too.
The
first copper coins were made in China. They were
round and had a square hole in the center.
Different
countries have used different
metals for their money. Later, some countries
began to make coins of gold and
silver(
银
).
But
gold and silver were heavy to carry when people
needed a lot of coins to buy something expensive.
The Chinese
were the
first to use paper money. The first
paper money looked more like a note from one
person to another than the paper
money
used today.
Money has had an interesting story from
the days of shell money till today.
