听力原文:W: Are you all prepared for your Speech Club introduction this evening?
M: Yeah, I'm going to talk about robots.
W: Robots? You mean, those machines that walk and talk like in the movies?
M: No, industrial robots, like those used in auto and electronic industries.
W: Come to think of it, I saw an article about that kind of robot the other day. There were pictures of robots joining cars, but they certainly didn't look the way I thought robot should look.
M: The robots we usually imagine are made up in science fictions. In industry robots are designed to do a specific set of operations, such as joining car frames. They are rarely built to resemble humans.
W: Actually, all they need is a kind of brain to give signals, and a mechanical appliance such as an arm to carry out instructions, right?
M: Right ! Tiny computers become the brains of these robots. The computers send signals in the form. of electrical signals that move an arm and something like our fingers. Those fingers do particular kinds of work.
W: OK. But we have had machines on the assembly line doing work for people for years. That's what started the Industrial Revolution, remember?
M: But each of those machines can only perform. a single operation and it takes months to modify them. The new industrial robots can do a number of tasks and it's easy to reprogram them to perform. totally different operations. That's one reason why they're becoming so popular.
W: They increase productivity too, don't they? Even though they are still quite expensive, I imagine robots will be used more and more.
M: Exactly. So now that you know all about the next Industrial Revolution. You don't have to come to Speech Club tonight.
What are the speakers talking about?
A.Movies.
B.Cars.
C.Robots.

W: Robots? You mean those machines that walk and talk like in the movies?
M: No, industrial robots, like those which were used in automotive and electronics industries.
W: Come to think of it, I saw an article about that kind of robot the other day. There were pictures of robots welding cars, but they certainly didn't look the way 1 thought robot should look.

W: Actually, all they need is a kind of brain to give signals and mechanism such as an arm to carry out instructions, right?
M: Right! Tiny computers become the brains of these robots. The computers send signal in a form. of electrical impulses that move an arm and a claw. The claw does particular kind of work.
W: Ok. but we have machines on the assembly line doing work for people for years. That's what started the Industrial Revolution, remember?
M: But each of those machines can only perform. a single operation and it takes months to modify them, The new industrial robots can each do a number of tasks and it's easy to reprogram them to perform. totally different operations. That's one reason why they're becoming so popular.
W: They increase productivity, don't they? I read that even though they are still quite expensive, they often cost less per year than a worker doing the same job. I imagine robots will be used more and more.

Boys, for example, generally are better than gifts at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys are also generally better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for bail sports. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve tracks. The left side is generally used for mathematics, speech and reading. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression of emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it's the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man's brain are connected by a smaller number of nerves than the two sides of a woman's brain are. So the flow of information between the halves of a man's brain is more restricted than that between the halves of a woman's brain. Some scientists say this influences some of our abilities.
According to the speaker, what is one of the advantages of girls?
A.They have better ideas about objects and their relationships.
B.They have more flexible hands and eyes.
C.They can see better than boys at night.
D.They can express their emotions better than boys.
