Japan’s space agency is considering putting a talking humanoid (有人的特點(diǎn)的) robot on the ISS to watch the work while astronauts are asleep, monitor their health and stress levels and municate to Earth through the microblogging site Twitter. Japan’s space agency JAXA announced this week that it is looking at a plan to send a humanoid robot to the space station in 2013 that could municate with the ground through Twitter — primarily feeding photos, rather than original ideas — and provide astronauts with “fort and panionship”. Following up on US NASA’s “Robonaut” R2 program, which is set for launch on the Discovery shuttle next week, the Japanese robot would be part of a larger effort to create and refine robots that can be used by the elderly, JAXA said in a statement. Japan is one of the leading countries in robotics and has a rapidly aging society with one of the world’s longest life expectancies. Improving robot munication capabilities could help elderly people on Earth by providing a nonintrusive (無干擾的) means of monitoring the robot owner’s health and vital signs and sending information to emergency responders if there is an abnormality, JAXA said. “We are thinking in terms of a very humanlike robot that would have facial expressions and be able to talk with the astronauts,” said JAXA’s Satoshi Sano. The robot was being developed with the advertising and munications giant Dentsu Inc and a team at Tokyo University. The NASA project has a humanlike head, hands and arms and uses the same tools as station crew members. The “Robonaut” called R2 is intended to carry out maintenance tasks in the station’s Destiny lab. NASA says it hopes that humanoid robots could one day stand in for astronauts during spacewalks or perform tasks too difficult or dangerous for humans. For now, the $ million NASA robot is limited to activities within the lab. 60. According to the passage, a humanoid robot, put on the ISS, shall carry out the tasks except _______.A. take care of the ISS sometimes B. keep an eye on the health of the astronautsC. keep in contact with Earth D. get a friend for astronauts from Japan61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage? A. The robot program will eventually benefit the elderly.B. R2 program is in the charge of Japan’s JAXA.C. NASA is planning to municate with the space station through Twitter. D. Japan has the largest number of elderly people.62. From the passage we can know _______.A. many Japanese universities joined in the robot programB. future astronauts will bee less lonely and more fortable with the help of the robotC. robots could pletely take the place of human astronauts in the futureD. the robot program, having cost $ million, can carry out all tasksCWhen Americans in the manufacturing sector (制造業(yè)) cried out, “The Chinese are ing,” some years ago, they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities. Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17 — but this time, it was a wele call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States. . tourism officials have high expectations that welloff Chinese visitors, who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan, will give a big help to their industry.“We’re very excited,” said Helen N. Marano, Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the . Department of Commerce. Bef
