'USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?' We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden （负担） to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots. ⑴Some robots are very human-like. ⑵它们能像人一样走路和跳舞。Some scientists think that in the future they will make robots more like humans. However, some scientists think although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that ⑶robots will never be able to wake up and Know where they are. ⑷但是许多科学家不赞同怀特先生。They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. ⑸We never know what will happen in the future. ⑴________ ⑵________ ⑶________ ⑷________ ⑸________
【答案】 有些机器人很像人；They can walk and dance like human beings.；机器人永远不会醒来也不知道自己在哪里；But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.；我们永远不知道将来会发生什么。
【解析】【分析】主要讲了未来的机器人。
（1）Some robots意思是一些机器人；human-like意思是像人的，故填有些机器人很像人。
（2）他们用they；能用can；走路用walk；跳舞用danc；和用and；like human beings像人一样，can情态动词，后面用动词原形，故填They can walk and dance like human beings. 。
（3）robots意思是机器人；be able to do sth.意思是能够做某事；wake up意思是醒来；know where they are意思是知道自己在哪里，故填机器人永远不会醒来也不知道自己在哪里。
（4）但是用but，许多用many，科学家用scientist，many修饰可数名词复数，所以科学家用many scientists；disagree with 不同意；时态是一般现在时态，所以disagree用动词原形，故填But many scientists disagree with Mr White。
（5）we意思是我们；never意思是从不；what will happen意思是将要发生什么；in the
future意思是在将来，故填我们永远不知道将来会发生什么。
