From fast food cooks to doormen at restaurants and hotels, robots are slowly entering the workforce in nearly every industry. Most recently, the world welcomed its first operational robot policeman.
“Robocop”, the newest member of the Dubai police force, made the first public appearance on Sunday at the Fourth Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference, where it greeted guests. At about 70 inches tall and weighing nearly 220 pounds, Robocop seeks to engage with residents and tourists. Featuring an “emotion detector (探测器)”, the robot can recognize a person’s gestures and body language from about 5 feet away.
Robocop’s skills don’t stop there—the emotionally intelligent bot can detect if a person is happy, sad and even angry by studying his or her facial expression. And just like your human friends would do, if Robocop sees you’re unhappy, it will try to lift your spirits. More importantly, when it comes to fighting crime, the robot uses the Internet, artificial intelligence and other smart technologies to spot offenders using facial recognition. Its navigation (导航) skills grant it the ability to map out areas and travel on its own. Equipped with a built-in tablet, Robocop can communicate with people, speak six languages, respond to public inquiries, shake hands and even make military salutes.
“With the aim to assist people on the streets,” said Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser A1 Razzouqi, director-general of smart services at Dubai Police, “the Robocop is the latest smart addition to the force and has been designed to help us fight crime recently, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels.”

A. use body language B. make people happy
C. cook fast food D. ask questions in public
2.What is the key part when Robocop makes a traveling route?
A. Its navigation skills. B. Its built-in tablet.
C. Its emotion detector. D. Its own ability to travel.
3.Robocop is designed with the original intention of .
A. fighting crime B. acting as a doorman
C. helping people on the streets D. communicating with people

I was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in goth（粗野的）dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, the same people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turns out I didn't have to.
One of the goth youths jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn’t say much — he was greedy — but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a glint in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.
Writing this now, several years later I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.
1.Why did people keep away form the teens in the fast food restaurant?
A.Because they were dressed in goth dress and appearance.
B.Because they were too young to pay their meal.
C.Because they liked to quarreled with others.
D.Because they killed two children.
2.What did the man want the author to do?
A.Help him get money. B.Bring him some food.
C.Provide him for money. D.Refuse to take care of him.
3.What word can the underlined word “glint” mean in paragraph 3?
A.flash B.gloom
C.surprise D.happiness
4.What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A.The author is also a model citizen like the girl.
B.The author sets a good example for the girl.
C.The author is deeply moved by the girl.
D.The author has sympathy for the girl.
