第二单元机器人包君满意拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司里工作。

最近，该公司要对一个家用机器人进行试验。

这项试验将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来尝试。

克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里，特别是在她丈夫离家三周的这个期间。

但是克莱尔被拉里说服了。

他说，机器人不会伤害她，也不会让别人来伤害她。

这样会是个意外的收获。

然而她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点儿吃惊。

机器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一个人，而不像台机器。

他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大、相貌英俊，二头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。

第二天早晨，托尼戴着围裙，给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。

她感到有点儿不好意思，很快就打发他走了。

机器人如此通人性，这使她觉得心烦和害怕。

有一天，克莱尔说起，她觉得她自己并不聪明。

托尼则说，克莱尔一定是很不高兴，才会说出这样的话来。

克莱尔觉得，机器人会向她表示同情，这有点荒唐可笑。

但是她开始信任托尼了。

她告诉托尼她太胖了，这让她很不高兴。

还有对于像拉里这样很想提高社会地位的人来说，她的家也不够高雅。

她跟格拉迪斯’克拉芬不一样，格拉迪斯是远近闻名的有钱有势的女人。

托尼为让克莱尔高兴，答应帮助她，使她变得漂亮，使她的家变得高雅大方。

于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读，或者说给他浏览一下。

她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手指。

他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的皮肤使她感到大为惊异。

她在想，这是多么可笑啊，他只不过是一台机器呀!托尼给克莱尔换了个发型，又改变了化妆风格。

因为不允许托尼陪克莱尔去商店，所以托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。

克莱尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、地毯和床上用品。

然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。

柜台售货员对她很粗鲁，她就打电话给托尼，让售货员同托尼讲话。

售货员马上就改变了态度。

克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，并说他是个“可爱的人”。

她刚一转过身去，就看到格拉迪斯_·克拉芬站在那儿。

克莱尔想，被格拉迪斯发现了1，这多么难为情啊!从格拉迪斯脸上的那种有趣而又惊奇的神色来看，克莱尔知道，格拉迪斯认为她有风流韵事了：毕竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·河北省高三年级名校联考) In elementary school，Glenn Cameron was very aware of the challenges faced by his friend，Roger，who had lost a hand.Now he has built an artificial helper for him.The robotic hand is called “Dexi”．Each of its fingers can move independently.The strength and speed of the hand's“muscles” can be controlled.He's also created a digital version of this hand，which responds on a computer screen.Through a special headset，the system takes electrical signals from a human brain，sends them to a computer，and then the computer “ tells” the hand what to do.For example，to make the hand close，you “see” a fist in your head.In fact，Cameron's first robotic hand was 3D printed online.Realizing the hand was too limited，he decided to build his own.It was quite a challenge，but his new version was better.It was also cheap，compared to many other robotic hand projects.Cameron says designing and building the hand was hard，but he went on.Then came the one Roger is using.Cameron is working on a hand that can actually be used by a person who's lost a hand at present.He says the new hand will be simpler，because there won't be as much space.To make up for this，he's adding a mini camera and trying to make the hand smarter.Cameron encourages young people who think they might want to do something demanding and similar，“ You just begin working towards it.Take one little step at a time，purposeful and steadfast，sooner or later you're going to get to the place you long for.”语篇解读在小学的时候，Glenn Cameron看到朋友缺少一只手，内心很受触动，他现在已经制造出了可以由人脑控制的机械手来帮助朋友。
