6．Robots have come a long way since 15^th century．We've got robots to build cars，carry heavy things，work in dangerous places and explore planets．But things haven't stopped there．
In 1986，Honda made a robot called ASIMO．And now，it has been developed greatly．Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg．ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back．And he can walk，flight，climb and run fast．Isn't it wonderful？
The world's first robot teacher is Saya．With her human-like face，she can show expressions like happiness，surprise，sadness，dislike，fear and she can even smile or show anger at students，which look much like a real teacher's．To do this，her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside．And her eyes and mouth have wires（电线） too．She can also say some simple words like"hello"or"thank you"．
In the UK，the development of robots is exciting．The mini-robots will send food，clean floors，collect and throw away waste．These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way．
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection（传染）．Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person，but here，you'll have robots that do"dirty work"，like collecting dirty sheets，or taking away hospital waste； and you'll have robots that do"clean work"，like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients．The robots have separate work so there's no way for infection，which is great．But of course，robots would not take the piece of humans，but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients．
But if this is what it's like in 2011，what's it going to be like to 2021？
42．In the following，which is ASIMO's behavior？C
A．Smiling at people，saying"hello"．

45．The main idea of Paragraph 5 is thatD．

B．robots would not take the place of humans
C．dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
D．mini-robots are useful for controlling infection．

5．Long，long ago，people didn't wear shoes．They used to walk without shoes．There was a king who travelled barefooted far into the countryside．He felt very uncomfortable and angry because there were many stones on the road．They made his feet hurt a lot．
As soon as he returned to his palace，he ordered that all the roads should be covered with cattle hide（牛皮）．He thought it was good not only for himself but also for the other people．But even if all the cattle were killed，there wouldn't be enough hide to cover all the roads．People could do nothing but shake their heads．A servant said，"Why not take an easier way？You don't have to kill so many cattle，nor waste so much money．All you need to do is to cover each of your feet with a piece of hide．"Surprised and pleased，the king immediately changed his mind and asked people to do as the servant said．
It is said to be the origin（起源）of making shoes．Though it sounds funny and strange，it makes us think．It's much easier to change oneself than to change the world．Do you think so？
