We can make all the jokes we want about taking baths ourselves, but if we are ill in bed and can't get up, we'll be thankful to the nurses who help us get clean. While I am not a nurse, and have never given anyone a bath, I would imagine that it would take a lot of sympathy (同情) and patience to do so.
Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems last month were introduced to Cody, a robot that can bathe human beings.
The robot has a base that can be turned to all directions, two humanlike arms, and movable wrists (腕). It uses a camera to locate parts of the human body. It then uses bath gloves to clean with a little pressure.
The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles Kemp of the Healthcare Robotics Lab is the senior researcher for the project. In a test run, Cody was able to remove 96% of a test subject's dirt—not bad for a robot.
But don't go asking for Cody yet—he's still a model. Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the place of nurses for this task. Researchers say that Cody will give patients dignity and protect their personal information. I suppose that would depend on the patient. I'm not sure whether a robot using a camera would make me feel very dignified.
Even so, I can appreciate the need. We don't have enough nurses to go around, and those places that are the most shorthanded, for example, nursing homes, are those that have the most patients who are unable to bathe themselves. Still, before I get there, I hope they think of a better way to solve the problem.
1.The writer thinks bathing others must ________.
A.be a lot of fun
B.make you feel thankful
C.take a lot of patience
D.make you feel dignified
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.Why and where Cody was designed.
B.What Cody looks like and who designed it.
C.What Cody can do and where it will work soon.
D.How Cody works and what has made that possible.
3.We know from the fourth and fifth paragraphs that ________.
A.Cody can bathe patients better than a real nurse can
B.robots like Cody are being produced in large numbers right now
C.Cody can take the place of nurses completely in hospitals
D.researchers think Cody can protect patients' personal information
4.There is a need for Cody because ________.
A.people are becoming lazier
B.it can bring down the cost of nursing
C.there are not enough nurses
D.there are too many nursing homes
5.In the writer's opinion, Cody is ________.
A.acceptable but not perfect
B.strange but not creative
C.clever and strong
D.lovely and careful

You want a smart phone, but just how smart do you want it? How about one that can read your mind? Well, that phone may well be on its way...
Justin Rattner, chief researcher at Intel, says that technology has developed to the point that “context-aware computing (情景感知计算)”, an idea that’s been around for twenty years, is becoming more of a reality.
That could lead to a phone that acts as a mind reader in your pocket. But rather than simply collect secrets about you, the device could do things with that information, such as predict what you might do next and make suggestions.
Rattner gave a few examples during his speech at Intel’s developer conference in San Francisco recently.
Among them is a software that Intel worked on with Fodor’s Travel, a traveling website. It learns what types of foods you like to eat and what types of places you like to visit, based on searches you type into the phone or places you searched using GPS (全球定位系统). The software makes similar recommendations when you visit a new city.
Tech companies are already working to predict what people want. Search engine Google, movie-rental service Netflix, and online radio service Pandora try to guess what people want even before they know they want it.
Putting those types of functions together with the other information that phones collect about people could pave the way for even more helpful mobile phones, Rattner said.
A challenge is training computers to look at data from “hard sensors (传感器)” (which measure place, movement, temperature and the like) and combining those findings with data from “soft sensors” (such as calendar appointments and Web browsing history).
For example, your phone could tell that you have just left school and seem to be on your way home—a location it might know from your address book. It could then tell you the best route around traffic.
Rattner added that researchers are even making steps toward the final goal—a computer understanding of thoughts.
