Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone. The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.RAS bines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected, said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Negative.C. （2）考查推理判斷。 performance ”可知，機(jī)器人目前還在華盛頓州立大學(xué)的智能屋里進(jìn)行測(cè)試，故選B。每次失敗后，我們應(yīng)該自責(zé)，自責(zé)能讓我們下次做得更好。s response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task（一個(gè)人對(duì)失敗的情緒越大，下次他遇到相關(guān)的任務(wù)取得更好的結(jié)果的可能越大）”可知，對(duì)失敗有情緒對(duì)將來(lái)的成功是很重要的。細(xì)節(jié)理解題要注意根據(jù)題目和文章的關(guān)鍵詞在文章中尋找答案。 Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don39。B.D.s attitude toward old wives39。由第三自然段的最后一句 Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simp
