     The University of Zurich held an exhibition called “Robots on Tour” on 8th and 9th March,2013 in Zurich,Switzerland. Visitors had a chance to see over 40 robots from all over the world. As another success,the A1 Lab brought out its new robot

Roboy Switzerland's first robotic child!

     The Lab wanted to make the robots more popular among people and make people feel more comfortable for having them around all the time. And the Lab had a prediction about the robots. For example,in the future the robots can do some housework for us,remind us of important things on time and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places,so it is believed that people will be glad to have such a robot at home. At the same time,the A1 Lab also thinks that such robots will be important in helping the old live more independently.

     Now Roboy is getting a new face from a Facebook activity,and it can move its arms. Later,the robot will have a soft skin. Roboy first appeared at the “Robots on Tour” exhibition on March 9 ,to celebrate A1 Lab's 25th anniversary,and its next plan is to make more people accept and like it.

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors?

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them.

Why? It is because locusts change their colors with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other

pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you^l find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

A.    are big animals

B.    are easily found by birds

C.    are dangerous to their enemies

D.    change their colors to protect themselves

danger?

B.    They have the colors much like their enemies.

C.    They hide themselves during the day and appear at night.

D.    They have to move quietly.

(    )3. Bears and lions can not be easily seen because_.

A.    they have the colors much like the trees

B.    they move quietly

C.    they like brown and gray colors

D.    they live together

(    )4. Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?

A.    Because it is very strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape.

C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
