“Mr. Mott often forgets important meetings. The robot will go after him all the time. It listens to everything he says. It sees everything he does. At night, it watches him sleep. It knows everything about Mr. Mott…”

It sounds like a wonderful idea, doesn’t it? But I’m afraid that Mr. Mott will not get on well with the robot, because everyone has something he doesn’t want others know. It is privacy. Just imagine that there is a video camera around you all day. How do you feel? When you are taking an exam, a teacher sits in front of you and watches you all the time. How do you feel?

Mr. Mott doesn’t lose all his memory. At least he remembers that he always forgets. So why can’t he do something for this HIMSELF? He can keep a notebook with him, like most people do. In the notebook he can write down the things he should do, the persons he should meet and the places he should go. Isn’t the notebook much cheaper and safer than the robot?

1.“It” in the first paragraph(段落) refers to______________.

2.Why does the writer think Mr. Mott will not always get on well with the robot?

3.The underlined word “privacy” means _______________in Chinese.

4.Mr. Mott is_____________.

5.From this passage we know that the writer__________________.

There is a little story about an insurance(保险) salesman in Tokyo. Even though this man tried very hard to promote the insurance, nobody bought it. One day, he came to a small temple and began to brag about his insurance. After listening to his introduction, the monk said: “Your recommendation of insurance can’t arouse any of my interests! When you are communicating with others, you must have the charm to attract others, or you will be unpromising in the future. Young man, try to change yourself!”
The salesman thought deeply about each word. From then on, he invited all his friends to point out his weakness and kept on improving himself bit by bit for all his life. Thirty years later, he became a millionaire. And this man is the famous Yuan Yi Ping. His experience reflects one attitude: sometimes, we should change ourselves instead of changing the world.
