    Jenny, from Germany, spent some time traveling in India. While she was there, she stayed with her Indian friend, Leela. However, there was a 1 barrier (障碍) for her there. It was very difficult for her to communicate in the new environment, which was very2 from that of her own country.

    One day, together with Leela, Jenny went to3 an orphanage (孤儿院). All the children there were very young. At first, Jenny was not sure if she could have a way to communicate with them. She went over to the children4 and sat beside them. After some time, one of the children smiled at her. She felt a little5 and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started singing a song in6. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. Jenny sang a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the7, another child went up to Jenny and started singing. Then more children joined. They8 many smiles together.

    The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.

In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.

    Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.

    One kind of robot guide dogs has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner's walk. The owner wears a special belt(带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as "Stop here" "Turn left" or "Turn right".

    In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner's voice. It follows instructions such as "Turn the page" or "Make a cup of coffee".

Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients' rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.

    Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
