Law Ⅱ: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law. Law Ⅲ: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law. 第一定律：机器人不得伤害人类个体，或者目睹人类个体将遭受危险而束手不管。 第二定律：机器人必须服从人给予它的命令，当该命令与第一定律冲突时例外。 第三定律：机器人在不违反第一、第二定律的情况下要尽可能保护自己的生存。 机器人学三定律 How do robots already help humans in their lives today?

Then use the words in the boxes to describe the similarities and differences. 5 Sample Ending A human being's facial expression changes often, whereas Tony's never changes. Although Tony's actions appeared sensitive and caring, he was just following his programming and these were not real emotions. In contrast to Tony, who never changed from his programming, a human's emotions can change. However, there are similarities between them. Tony's smooth hair and warm body are the same as human beings. Tony treats people kindly in the same way. He can offer sympathy just as what we do. Discuss the questions in pairs. 6 1 Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot? Why? 2 What relationship do you think will develop between humans and robots in the future? No, I don't think that a person would love a robot. Because a robot is just a machine that has no emotions and facial expressions. A robot will become the right-hand man of humans and can do almost everything under the command of man. Homework 05 1. Complete the exercises at the end of the class. 2.
