The first kind is the lord（君主） of the class. I call him Mr. Frightening. His ideas can never be 36 .

With their minds locked up, the students are made into 41 machines. They only 42 what Mr. Frightening says, and finally become his “clones”(克隆).
Then there comes Mrs. Boring. She doesn’t look as 43 as Mr. Frightening, at least in appearance. Always 44 a warm smile, she never 45 her temper. In 46 to Mr. Frightening, she is the hypnotist(施行催眠术的人) of the class. She never has the skill of 47 the students’ enthusiasm.

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars. Today, 36 a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to _37_ in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes and colors. But they all have the same _38_ of man-made “_39_”. Leading the robot revolution(革命) are industrial robots that work in factories. Industrial robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often _40_ and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as
they are entering _41_. These robots aren’t as friendly and _42_ as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk” and sense objects in their own way. They even _43_ objects though they may sometimes drop. Well, nobody is _44_.
We may _45_ home robots today, but some day they may see and hear _46_ than humans do. We _47_
can only see certain wave lengths of light and hear certain _48_. That’s because the _49_ of our eyes and ears are _50_.
Robots, however, need not have the same limits _51_ we have. Robots may also be _52_ wit devices(装置) that _53_ information humans can’t. However, to understand _54_ their sensing devices pick up is a hard job.
Remember, man-made brains _55_ information, including al
l kinds of data, as zeroes and ones.
Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like---using only zeroes and ones.
