The term “bionic man” came from The Six Million Dollar Man which was a popular TV show in the U.S.A. in the 1970s. It was a story about a former astronaut whose body was rebuilt by using artificial (人造的) parts after he nearly died. Now, a team of engineers has made a robot by using artificial organs(器官), limbs and other body parts that comes close to a true “bionic man”.

The parts come from 17 manufacturers (制造商) around the world. “This is the first time they’ve been assembled (组装) together,” says Richard Walker, the director of a robot company. “It’s an attempt to show the development of medical science,” he says.

Walker says the robot has about 60 to 70 percent of the function(功能) of a human. It stands six-and-a half feet tall and can step, sit and stand with the help of a walking machine. This kind of machine is used by people who have lost the ability to walk. It also has a functioning heart that beats and circulates artificial blood(血液). Its blood carries oxygen just like human blood.

Although the parts are used in the robot work, there is a long way to go. There are some key parts missing. There’s no liver, skin or brain for the robot.

1.The robot “bionic man” is used to _______.

A. show the development of medical science

B. help those people who have lost the ability to walk

C. help the doctor do more experiments

D. make a popular TV show named “The Six Million Dollar Man”

2.The parts of the robot came from ______.

A. the U.S.A.　　　　　 B. the U.K.

C. the U.N.　　　　　　　 D. all around the world

3.The robot “Bionic man” in the passage ______.

A. has 60 to 70 percent of the function with a man-made liver, skin and brain

B. was made with artificial parts by a former astronaut named Walker

C. has a functioning heart that beats and circulates artificial blood

D. is used in robot work to help the disabled man

A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”

The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
