Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington D.C. He is one of the 250 mail carriers in the United States.
Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One is that he does not forget details. He knows each child’s name, the parents’ names and what each child knows and needs to know. In addition(另外), he knows each child’s pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes. Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification number. His computer brain puts the child’s voice and number together. He identifies the child without mistakes. Then he starts the lesson.
Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If children need more time to do their lessons, they can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachim’s lesson over and over again. When the children do a good job, he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children switch Mr. Leachim off.

閱讀理解
     Back in the 1970s,the robots were coming for our boring manufacturing (生產(chǎn)) 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.
