【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 lanick is among those predicting that by 2021, selfdriving cars will play a big part in urban settings. Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobilerelated accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually. Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds? But there39。s a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots aren39。t just taking over in the workplace. The question is, where can39。t a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every bination of notes in record time and e up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammywinning song cowritten by Hank Human and R3071 in our future? Finally, it39。s only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and e up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors. Actually, it39。s too bad such technology isn39。t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide. （1）What does the underlined word “agitated” mean?

Our teacher walked around the er with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie! With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, “Good morning, folks!” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met. I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of… Feter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”. Snickers（竊笑）filled the room. If it wasn39。t rap or hip hop, we didn39。t recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening. Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musicalnote shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day. I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on－as I39。ve carried on the legacy（遺產(chǎn)）of Mr. Miller. One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life.
