13、ticated (先进的 ) Japanese robots, which have vision systems and work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe. 2 Although industrial robots were o
14、riginally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more skilled work like welding (焊接 ), spray-painting and assembling components. 3 In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wa
15、ge rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively. 4 It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an
16、 equivalent job. 5 It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots.

21、a real grump (脾气坏的人 ) in the mornings? Do you wake up every day feeling tired, angry and upset, and all too ready to hit the snooze (瞌睡 ) button?

22、se of sleep before waking you up. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed (恢复精力 ) every morning. As you sleep you pass through a sequence of sleep states - light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep (快速眼动睡眠 ) - that repeats approximately every 90 minutes. The points in that cycle
23、at which you wake can affect how you feel later, and may even have a greater impact than how long or little you have slept.

32、 in order to make me happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌 ) me.
