Unit 5 Poems 诗者，感其况而述其心，发乎情而施乎艺也——摘自赵缺《无咎诗三百序》。诗歌是世界上最古老、最基本的文学形式，是一种阐述心灵的文学体裁，而诗人则需要掌握成熟的艺术技巧，并按照一定的音节、声调和韵律的要求，用凝练的语言、充沛的情感以及丰富的意象来高度集中地表现社会生活和人类精神世界。孔子认为，诗具有兴、观、群、怨四种作用。陆机则认为：“诗缘情而绮靡”。在中国古代，不合乐的称为诗，合乐的称为歌，后世将两者统称为诗歌。 拓展阅读 一、主题阅读基础篇(5篇) 1.

Modern technology has brought them “back to life”. The two great poets, along with other humanoid robots, were presented at the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing. They looked similar to real human beings. “The skin is made of medical-grade bionic silicone (仿生硅胶), which is why the skin looks soft and veins can be seen through it,” CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. Goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩) and palm lines can also be seen on the arms and hands. Researchers are also trying hard to create other features of humans on robots. A US robotics startup Apptronik brought out its humanoid robot called Apollo on Aug 23. Apollo has around 30 muscles. However, “humans have around 300 muscles in our bodies,” Nick Paine, the co-founder of the company, told CNN. For now, engineers can only simplify the muscles, allowing them to do basic movements like holding objects and walking. The robot also contains cameras and sensors in its head, helping it map out a 360-degree view of its environment. They also help the robot keep balance when walking on uncertain surfaces. Nowadays, bionic (仿生的) human-like robots mostly work with humans, as tour guides or by helping visitors at front desks. There are also robots that share the work of nurses, such as handing out medicine. This could be because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look or act like them. They can “strike a chord with people,” a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker. As more humanoid robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Ro
