These robots are not like the robots in movies. They don’t walk or talk. I 3 , a robot may be just a metal arm. The robot arm can do a certain job in a factory over and over again. It can do jobs that people may not want to do. A robot never gets tired of doing the same thing. They are also used to do many dangerous, difficult or boring jobs. In Canada, the police are using a robot on wheels. This robot moves around to c 4 bombs (炸弹) and takes them away. Robots are used in hospitals too. At one hospital, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people’s rooms, and it never loses its way because it has a m 5 of the hospital in its computer system.

In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Percy LeBaron Spencer, an American inventor was working on a machine to p 2 powerful radio waves. When he was standing next to the machine, he noticed that the bar of chocolate in his pocket went soft. He r 3 that this machine was able to cook things. He called it a microwave.

The great inventor Leonardo da Vinci drew pictures for bicycles but people began to produce and ride them long after he died. When a person rides a bicycle, it needs very little energy to move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. However, it develops slowly. Most people don’t go to work by bike. It is not because bicycles are e 2 or people feel tired if they ride them to work. It’s because the n 3 of cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly is dangerous to ride a bike. So, more people put their bicycles away and go to work in their cars. In this way, the traffic is w 4 . Maybe the best way to make riding safer and more p 5 is to build roads only for bicycles, and to make it difficult for drivers to take their cars into the city.

Now people are encouraged to buy and use it. Do you want to have a mobile phone like it? 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。答卷时，要求写出完整单词。 Thomas Edison is known to everyone in the world.
