He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice, although his facial expression never changed. 克莱尔不想把机器人放在她的家里，尤其是她的丈夫要出差三个星期，但拉里说服她，机器人不会伤害她，也不会让她受到伤害。这将是一个意外收获。然而，当她第一次看到机器人时，她感到惊慌失措。他叫托尼。他看起来更像一个人而不是一台机器。他高大英俊，头发光滑，声音低沉，尽管他的面部表情从未改变。 【重点必背】 on a business trip出公差 persuade vt. 劝说；说服 bonus n. 意外收获；奖金；红利 alarmed adj.（alarm为背拓展单词）感到害怕的→ alarm vt. 使惊恐；使害怕 n. 恐慌；警报 more like更像是；更接近 【课文佳句】 He seemed more like a human than a machine.（more...than...） 他看起来不太像一个机器，而更像一个真人。 Paragraph 3 On the second morning, Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing.

She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasn't elegant enough for Larry, who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary. She wasn't like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around. 有一天，克莱尔说她认为自己不聪明。托尼说她说这话一定很不高兴。克莱尔认为机器人给她同情是可笑的，但她逐渐钦佩他的智慧和正直，开始信任他。他总是对她很有尊严。她告诉托尼，她对自己的家不够优雅感到非常不满，拉里想用更高的薪水来提高自己的社会地位。她不像格拉迪斯·克拉芬，她是世界上最富有、最有权势的女人之一。 【重点必背】 ridiculous adj. 愚蠢的；荒谬的；荒唐的 admire vt. 钦佩；赞赏→ admiration n. 崇拜；赞赏 → admirable adj. 令人赞赏的 wisdom n. 智慧；才智→ wise adj. 明智的 integrity n. 诚实正直；完整；完好 dignity n. 庄重；庄严；尊严 social position社会地位 salary n. 薪水；薪金 Paragraph 5 As a favor, Tony promised to help Claire make herself more beautiful and her home more elegant.
