I can’t have any pets now because my mother hates

company 公司 thought think 的过去式
Predicting the future can be difficult. There are manyfamous predictions that never came true. Before 1929,there was no sound in movies. The head of one of the biggest movie companies in the United States predictedthat no one would want to see actors talk. Of course, he he was wrong! In 1977, the head of the largest computercompany in the United States said, “No one will want tohave a computer in his or her home.” He thought thatcomputers would never be used by most people.

Section 2 While You Read In some science fiction movies, people in the
future have their own robots. These robots are just
like humans. They help with the housework, and
do the most unpleasant jobs.
科幻小说电影
他们能够帮助人们做家务和那些最让人不愉快的工作。
Section 2 While You Read
Some scientists believe that there will be suchrobots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying tomake robots look like people, and do the same thingsas us. Japanese companies have already made robotswalk and dance. This kind of robot will also be funto watch.

Section 2 While You Read But robot scientist James White disagrees. He thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example, it’s easy for a child to wake up and know where they are. Mr White think that robots won’t be able to do this. Butother scientists disagree. They think that robots willbe able to talk to people in 25 to 50 years.
他认为机器人做人做的事情是困难的。
Section 2 While You Read Robot scientists are not just trying to make robotslook like people. For example, there are already robots working in factories. These robots look morelike huge arms. They do simple jobs over and overagain. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. But robots will never get bored.
工厂
他们一次又一次地做这些简单的工作。 人们做这样的工作就会感到枯燥。但是机器人永远也不会感到枯燥。
Section 2 While You Read In the future, there will be more robots every-where, and humans will have less work to do. Newrobots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like snakes.After an earthquake, a snake robot could help lookfor people under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and evenelectric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago. We never know what will happen in thefuture!
