2. Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying(载货)robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift. Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers(顾

客). The new robot, called "the Gita", weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250. The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. "The Gita" is a "hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. "The Gita" does not require use of a telephone;it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition. Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say "the Gita" may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms. So far, the best places to find the company's six-wheeled robot are US colleges:The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. "I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each. 8. What is "the Gita" designed to do? A. Fight with other robots. B. Buy things for its owner. C. Carry things for its owner. D. Help college students do homework. 9 What do tech experts expect the company to do for "the Gita"? A. Keep advertising it. B.
