In fact，it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt，nor his favorite toy.However much he searched，the two things did not reappear.The same was starting to happen with other things.Ricky began to suspect the robot.He planned to spy on the robot，and began following it around the house.Finally he caught it on the spot，picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it. Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed.But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot，and it cooked like a dream. One day，the robot was whirring past，and heard the boy’s complaints.The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys，and some clothes for him. “Here，sir.I did not know it was bothering you，” said the robot. “How could it not，you thief! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks！” the boy answered angrily. “The objects were left on the floor.I therefore calculated that you did not like them.I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted，and at night I send it to people who can use it.I am a maximum efficiency machine.Were you unaware？” the robot said，with a certain pride. Ricky started feeling ashamed.He understood that the robot was neither broken nor misprogrammed.Rather，it had been programmed extremely well! Since then，Ricky decided to become a “Maximum Efficiency Boy”，and put real care into how he treated his things.He kept them tidy，and made sure he didn’t have more than what was necessary.And，often，he would buy things，and take them along with his good friend，the robot，to help out those other people who needed them. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。瑞奇家的机器人每天都把家里收拾得非常干净整洁，以至于瑞奇经常找不到他的物品。他认为是机器人偷了他的物品，后来机器人向瑞奇解释了事情的原委，误会得以化解。 1．What is the robot meant to do?
