When you think of a robot, what do you see? A machine that looks a bit like you and me?
1. They don’t need to look like humans — in fact, most don’t.
What a robot looks like depends on its purpose. Cleaning robots often look like little vacuums. 2. Robots that are meant to interact with people often have a face, eyes, or a mouth — just like we do!
Whether they look like us or not, most robots have three essential parts that make them a robot: sensors, actuators and programs.
Together, these parts are what make a robot different from other gadgets you might have around your house, like your computer or your washing machine.
3. Just like we have eyes to sense light, ears to sense sound, robots have light sensors and cameras so they can “see,” microphones so they can “hear”.
Second, a robot has actuators that allow it to move around. 4. And we might use our hands to pick up an orange and peel it. A robot might use actuators such as motors and wheels to drive to places, and finger-like grippers (机器人手爪) to grasp objects and control them or turn them around.
Third, a robot needs a program that lets it act on its own based on what it is sensing.5. When a robot is autonomous, it’s not quite the same as a person being autonomous, because a person still has to write the computer program that tells the robot what to do.
A.Flying robots might have wings like birds.
B.The past robots were not artificially intelligent.
C.We might use our legs and feet to walk and run.
D.This ability to act on one’s own is called autonomy.
E.First, a robot has sensors that allow it to “see” the world.
F.We would need some actuators so that the robot could move.
G.The reality is that robots can have different shapes and sizes.
Jose Adolfo is a banker from Peru. He encourages children to save money and offers his customers cash for recycling plastic wastes. But the remarkable thing is that he is still a child himself.
By the age of 7, he decided to create a bank for children. He was motivated by seeing his classmates skipping lunch because they had spent the little money they had on sweets or football cards. What drove him even more was the poverty he saw among children.
With the support of a local company, the 14-year-old founded the Bartselana student bank which now has more than 2,000 customers between the ages of 10 and 18. Children can withdraw (提取) money from several cashpoints of the bank. They can also monitor their balances online. What makes it different from traditional banks is that it sets savings goals for children. They have to reach those goals in order to withdraw their money.
The student bank really took off when he came up with the “Recycle Plan”, a new way for the children to earn money by collecting recyclable plastic or paper waste. Students can bring recyclable plastic bottles, used school books and old newspapers to the schools and put them into the collecting boxes. The recycling is weighed and the money goes to their bank accounts.
The bank recycles 4.4 tons of material a month and has collecting boxes in seven schools in Arequipa. More are on a waiting list. Increasingly the model is in demand in the rest of Peru and abroad.
His efforts have been noticed by Peru’s environment ministry. “He’s making an amazing change in financial (理财的) education that perhaps many adults could not come up with,” said the Peru’s environment minister, Lucia Ruiz. “He’s achieving a double goal because he’s not just designing a financial opportunity for children and teenagers but also helping to reduce waste in the country.”

2.What is special about the student bank ?

3.According to paragraph 4, students can earn money by _______ .
A.using less plastic bottles B.using old school books
C.collecting plastic wastes D.cleaning collecting boxes
4.What can we know about the “Recycle Plan” ?
A.It’s typical. B.It’s successful.
C.It’s risky. D.It’s well-organized .
