C It's the weekend,and you decide to visit to your grandma who lives alone.When you arrive,however, you realize that she has another visitor,and you hear through the door the two of them laughing.You walk in and find that the visitor,sitting across the dining table from your grandma,is a robot.It's laughing at your grandma's joke Such a robot is something that a team of scientists at Kyoto University in Japan are working toward. They are teaching a robot named Erica how to laugh while talking to a human. "We think that one of the important abilities of robots is empathy"said Dr.Koji Inoue,the leader of the team.So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter. Erica's development began with recording different human laughter.The scientists recorded more than 80 conversations.Then they studied the conversations and put the laughter in these conversations into different groups.Next,they trained Erica to learn the characteristics of each group of laughter in order to show them correctly in different situations. Although the scientists have made some encouraging progress,they said that we are not able to have a natural talk with Erica as we have with a friend now.But then wait a few years,and you may find your own self at that dining table,telling jokes to a robot named Erica. 56.How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage?

While you may think that the remote control is a fairly new piece of technology,it actually dates back over 100 years.In 1898,the famous inventor Nikola Tesla showed what is considered to be the world's first remote control in New York City.Using a box with an antenna ()he controlled the movements of a small boat.This early remote control was able to communicate with the boat using radio waves.Although nothing much came of this first invention,it served as the first step in the development of modern remote controls. Remote controls have come a long way since Nikola Tesla's invention.They became common in homes around the world after the 1950s,when the Zenith Radio Company first paired them with TVs. Today,however,their importance spreads well beyond changing channels as they can be used for activities that are too dangerous for humans.For example,remote-controlled robots can be sent into harmful environments while their operators guide them from a safe distance. Remote controls are still being improved on all the time,and now many ordinary people can buy advanced technologies like remote-controlled drones(无人飞机)，which can take amazing photos and videos from on high.With the development of voice operated remote controls,we may soon be able to work our phones without even touching them.So when it comes to remote controls,who knows what the future will bring? 61.What is written at the beginning of the text?

D.How it was made. 63.What does the underlined sentence mean? A.It still has a long way for remote controls to go. B.Remote controls have had great progress C.Remote controls have experienced many difficulties. D.It takes a long time for remote controls to develop. 64.What's the writers attitude (towards the future remote controls? A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Uncertain 65.What's the writer's purpose in writing the text? A.To make us fall in love with remote controls. B.To encourage us to invent more remote controls C.To introduce the history and use of remote controls.
