A group of European researchers fro Eindhoven University of Technology(TU/e)are working hard to connect robots with hoes.The robots will ake sure that hoes are nice places to stay and that patients do the right things.
This recently started research project，which has been naed KSERA，focuses(关注)on COPD(慢性阻塞性肺病)patients.In 2030 this disease will be the third cause of death worldwide.The disease especially affects the elderly.
In three years’ tie several deonstration(示范)houses should be finished，where a robot will play the central role.It follows patients through the house，learns their habits，watches the closely，gives sound advice，turns the air conditioning up or down a bit，and warns a doctor when the patient is not feeling well.Besides，the robot also provides fun in the for of the Internet and videos.“We want to shohat is possible in this area，”says project anager Dr.Lydia eesters.
The TU/e researcher says that this new type of intelligent care house will not be a cold environent.It should be as hoely as possible.In an ideal(理想的)situation the only technology you see will be the robot.It will be the contact for all the systes in the hoes. Xkb 1
Ethical issues(道德问题)will also be given special focus.The robot ust give good advice to patients，but it should not be a policean，eesters explains.What to do，for exaple，when a COPD patient lights a cigarette?
The project will cost alost 4 illion euros,2.9 illion of which will be provided by the EU.Other parties are the Italian research center Institute Superiore ario Boella，Vienna University of Technology，Haburg University，the Italian ICT copany Consoft，the Central European Institute of Technology in Vienna and the Israeli care provider accabi Healthcare Services.

Ⅴ.任务型读写
To call land “arginal” it is not very good. Low quality soil is not the only reason why land could be considered arginal. The land ight be in an area where rainfall is liited. Or it ight be on a hillside that rises too sharply.
Yet there are uses for arginal land. ost often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent feed for grazing anials (草食动物) like cattle, sheep and goats. A farer ight use native grasses or nonnative seed. No atter what way he uses, it is iportant to establish good ground cover to avoid the loss of soil through erosion(侵蚀)．
But using arginal land for grazing is not as siple as it ight sound. There is a risk of overgrazing. Cattle can daage crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the anials crash the soil with their weight. That can ake the ground too hard for growing. A way to reduce the daage is to ove anials fro one field to another. This ethod is known as rotational(循环的 ) grazing. Agricultural experts say rotational grazing is extreely iportant for arginal land.
Another use for arginal land is for tree crops. Studies have shown that the loblolly pine ( 火炬松) and white pine are two kinds of trees that groell on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. And there are slowergrowing trees like the black walnut (胡桃) that provide wood as well as a nut crop. Trees help support the soil. They reduce the daaging effects of wind and rain. And they can provide grazing anials with shade fro the sun.
arginal lands need care to protect the. Failing to take that care ight only ake a bad situation worse. But good planning can turn a arginal resource into a highly productive one.

Ever dreaed of having a robot servant who would do all the boring housework around the house？Well echanized doestic staff have coe one step closer，thanks to an android(机器人)being developed in Japan.
Researchers at Tokyo University’s JSK Robotics Laboratory have created a huanoid called Kojiro，who is learning how to copy hoe walk.
What akes hi unique is that he has a skeletal(骨骼的)structure siilar to that of huans，which eans he oves in a ore natural fashion，and bends and twists by his artificial spine(脊柱)．
The tea，led by Professor Nakanishi，said this newly developed spine would allow the to anufacture lighter and ore flexible robots in the future to serve in the hoe.
In one scientific paper，they wrote：“Now noral huanoid robots are not suitable for working in our daily environent.”Lack of safety and versatility(多用途)is the ain reason；their hard and heavy bodies can hurt huans or surrounding objects，and they can do liited tasks copared with what huans do in daily life.
Traditional robots have libs and torsos(躯干)powered by heavy otors at the joints.However in Kojiro，the otors are lightweight and used to pull cables attached to different locations on the body.This copies how our own uscles and tendons(腱)contract and relax when we ove.
The skillful syste of around 100 such tendonuscle structures work together to give Kojiro 60 degrees of freedo.The huanoid is also ade ostly fro light and flexible aterials，which would ake hi less of a danger around the hoe.
The researchers found the ost difficult challenge was finding a way to ake such a skillful robot walk.“The syste has strong nonlinearity(非连续性)and is hard to odel precisely.To control such a syste，a kind of learning ethod is needed，”the tea wrote.
At present the scientists are testing Kojiro’s saller oveents using a gaes console controller.The tea plan to slightly iprove the coputer algoriths(算法)that control the robot’s oveents as they go and hope it will one day be able to handle coplex oveents using all of its libs.Then perhaps one day，you will find Kojiro serving you breakfast in bed.
1．What is the text ainly about?
A．The differences between the tradition robots and the huanoid.
B．Introduction to a new type of huanoid.
C．How to iprove the traditional robot.
D．The huanoid will be on arket soon.
2．What akes the huanoid unique?
A．Its long libs.
B．Its strong ability of copying.
C．Its aterials.
D．Its skeletal structure.
3．What is the biggest challenge to the huanoid at present?
A．How to ake it walk.
B．How to ake it speak.
C．How to ake it do housework.
D．How to ake it sing.
4．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the huanoid can’t be suitable for working in huan’s daily environent?
A．Lack of safety. B．Fewer uses.
C．Its overweight. D．Daaging objects.
5．What can we learn fro the text?
A．Scientists in Japan have solved the huanoid’s oveent.
B．The huanoid is used to take care of the old.
C．The huanoid can use all of its libs to handle coplex oveents.
D．It’ll be a long tie before the huanoid is on arket.
