Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!
Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
  Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
  Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake , even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
  Since then, I've used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.

TOKYO, Japan (AP) – Japan is very serious about robotics (機(jī)器人技術(shù)). If the androids are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, an android(有人特點(diǎn)的)with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors(感應(yīng)器)embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate(模仿)life with robot technology.
“A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo professor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden(臥床不起的). Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot on wheels called Papero. A robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices(設(shè)備)monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
【小題1】What is the best title of this passage?

A.“Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B.Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C.Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.
D.Robot technologies are widespread in Japanese daily life.
【小題2】The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means      .
A.fixedB.establishedC.settledD.rooted
【小題3】According to Professor Sato,       .
A.the robot serves tea much faster than a human being
B.the robot does anything like human beings
C.tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging society
D.tea – serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service
【小題4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
B.A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
C.All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
D.The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
【小題5】We can infer from the passage that        .
A.people are afraid of being monitored by robots.
B.the technology of robots has been highlighted(強(qiáng)調(diào)) in Japan.
C.robots can completely take the place of human beings.
D.people’s privacy should be strictly protected
