八年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析

Something was crying outside. So I went out to see what was happening. A big cat sat by the door. It must run for a long time as it looked tired and dirty. I let it in my house and took out some food; this poor cat ate all, but still looked starving…, so I got my own cats’ fish, and the cat ate that too!

My five-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter were interested in the cat. They bathed (给……洗澡) it and fed it more food. They wanted to keep it. But I didn’t agree.

And its owner (主人) must be worried about it. Then I posted notices all over the town in the hope of finding its home. I also bought an ad (广告)time on a radio station. Three weeks passed, but there was no response (答复).

Some robots have TV cameras for eyes. Some have special cells（电池）that help them touch. Many have computer brains. How robots look depends on （取决于）the job they have to do. Some can even have their parts changed so they can do different jobs.

Robots can do many things. They are taking the place of many workers. They can do boring jobs. They can do dangerous jobs, too. They can do messy jobs, such as cleaning, painting and so on.
