The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.

Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.

One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (帶子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.

In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.

Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on lunar May 5th. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating Zong Zi and racing dragon boats. In order to remember Qu Yuan, one of the greatest poets in China, people hold the dragon boat races every year. That is the origins(起源) of this festival.

Qu Yuan was born in Zigui of Hubei Province over 2,200 years ago. Qu Yuan was an honest official(官員) of the state of Chu, during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) (戰(zhàn)國時期). He was upright(正直的) and wise. He wanted to bring his country peace and make the state stronger, but the country was in the hands of bad officials, so he failed. At last, he was very disappointed. He ended his life by throwing himself into the Miluo River. It was said people jumped from boats into the river and tried to save him. But it was too late. Also, they were very sad. They threw rice into the water to feed the dragons in the river. They hoped that the dragons would eat Zong Zi instead of the poet’s body.

Now we often read his poem Li Sao which is filled with deep love for his country. We can see the dragon boat races and have a kind of Chinese food named Zong Zi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

1.Why did people throw rice into the water after Qu Yuan died?（限16個詞以內(nèi)）

2.What was Qu Yan like? (限7個詞以內(nèi))

3.Why did Qu Yuan kill himself?（限20詞以內(nèi)）
