     Back in the 1970s,the robots were coming for our boring manufacturing (生产) jobs.Now,they're
coming for our boring table service jobs.Korean company ITM Technology has developed the restaurant
concept around a little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter.Robo Cafe avoids ordering errors,reduces
staffing costs greatly for restaurant owners,and even brings the boss all the tips.
     Japan is preparing for some very tough times ahead.When its aging population become too old to
work,labor is going to be in severe shortage.So inventive technology departments are exploding with really fascinating ideas to take the pressure off when it hits.
     To small cafe and restaurant owners,the solution might well look something like Robo Cafe,a restaurant designed to operate as efficiently as possible with the absolute minimum human workforce possible.The
building needs to be designed with small horizontal (水平的) pathways leading from the kitchen to all the
tables.A small team of waiter robots can then get around to every table in the house when they're asked to come.Customers can either order orally,or touch a screen on the robot's belly.When the kitchen has
finished preparing the food,the robot brings it out to customers.
     Dan Carlin talks about the "kitchen of the future ",where everything is automated and the labor is free
because you own it.Really,the_kitchen_of_the_future_is_actually the_kitchen of_the_past,when you
consider that throughout human history,there have been many examples of slaves working for no pay.
     As Carlin points out,today's concept of slavery is mostly restricted to nonhumans.And the ownership of robot labor in a Robo Caf ?type situation will almost certainly prove itself far more economical and
dependable than a human workforce once the technology itself becomes mature.Of course,slaves have a
worrying habit of rising up against their owners.

1. According to the passage,the robots that were invented in the last century could________.

A. do some work that people dare not do
B. bring lots of fun and profits to their owners
C. do some housework such as table service work
D. save people from having to do some boring manufacturing work

2. According to the passage,what will a Robo Caf ?type restaurant be like?

A. Most of the work will be done by robots.
B. Owners needn't pay for the labour of their employees.
C. Robot waiters are designed to serve customers voluntarily.
D. The building will be designed for the convenience of customers.

3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Employees depend on owners of restaurants as before.
B. Technology won't change the core of the kitchen.
C. Labor free of charge can be used in the kitchen again.
D. Labor free of charge is no longer limited to humans.

Paula and Rory have fives kids, three dogs, and a rabbit. When the house is very noisy, Megan, one of the children, is quietly inventing. A year ago, the 10-year-old had to design an anti-smoking poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.
“I like people to play with things more than read and write,” she says. So she researched her idea on the Internet, found a company in China that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.
Paula says her daughter “think differently”: Ideas jump into her mind. After she got sunburnt on holiday, Megan invented a small plastic bracelet(手镯) that changes colors in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen(防晒霜). Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea. She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty. “But we didn’t do anything with it,” says Paula.
Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod(钓鱼竿) she had designed. “There is a camera on the hook(钩),” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle, and it shows if you’ve caught a fish or not.”
Megan doesn’t want to go to university. She keeps her pink-and -cream bedroom tidy. Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter. “Everything has to be in a certain order,” Paula says. “Her brothers and sisters go with the flow, but with Megan, it’s ‘What time will that be happening?’ or ‘Where am I being picked up from today?’”
【小题1】From Paragraph 2, we can infer that Megan .

C．prefers making something by herself	D．is good at reading and writing
