         During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don't leave the building during the
    shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building.
         When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens, simply roll off the bed. There will be a

          If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then
    lie down and curl up (蜷伏) next to a sofa, or a large chair.
         Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not
    destroyed by the earthquake,they may fall down later when people run down.
         Try to get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, advertisement boards and power lines if
    you are outdoors.
         If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens, just stay in your car until the shaking ends.
    However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car, get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars
    have voids 3 feet high next to it.

         You would see a robot when you were reading a story or watching a movie, such as Star Wars. Today,
    however, science stories are becoming true. More and more robots are starting to be used in factories and our
    homes. These robots are different in size, shape and colour, but all of them have the same type of man-made
    "brain". The robots that work in factories are called industrial robots.
         These kinds of robots are cleverer and faster than the old ones. Industrial robots can do jobs that are often
    boring and sometimes dangerous.
         Robots are already coming into American homes, though not as quickly as they are going into factories.
    We have made robots work at home. They can do some housework like cooking, or playing with people just
    for fun.
        These robots aren't as friendly and clever as those in Star Wars. But their makers say, today's home robots
    can "walk" and find objects in their way, though sometimes they may knock into (撞上) those objects. They
    can even carry objects, though sometimes they may drop those objects. Well, nobody is perfect. We may
    laugh at home robots today,but some day they will do better than humans. We humans can only see certain
    length of light, and hear certain sounds, while robots may see and hear better than we do.
        In a word, robots will be widely used in our life in the future.
    1. Where are more and more robots starting to be used? 
        ___________________________________________
    2. What do all kinds of robots have?
