選修7 Unit 2 Robots - Reading SATISFACTION GURANTEED Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry's wife, Claire. Claire didn't want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn't harm her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed. On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human. One day, Claire mentioned that she didn't think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn't elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn't like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around. As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine. Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her. Claire went into the city and bought curtains, cushions, a carpet and bedding. Then she went into a jewellery shop to buy a necklace. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a "dear". As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the amused and surprised look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair. After all, she knew Claire's husband's name was Larry, not Tony. When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be. "You can be like her," Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed. Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy.She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day. The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room.At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers. She cried out "Tony" and then heard him declare that he didn't want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything ! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered -Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone" and ran to her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm. He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, knowing that there was no risk to Claire's 。

3.高二英語(yǔ)選修七第二單元 A BLOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV 的英語(yǔ)
您好，Isaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past. Asimov's life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920. It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier. When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years. At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started working part-time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a master's degree in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time writer. It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939. In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book. Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future. He is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three "laws" for robots. For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence. Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.Unit 2 RobotsUsing LanguageA BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV艾薩克·阿西莫夫傳 艾薩克·阿西莫夫是美國(guó)的科學(xué)家兼作家。
他寫(xiě)過(guò)大約480本書(shū)，包括怪誕小說(shuō)、科學(xué)和歷史方面的書(shū)，甚至還寫(xiě)過(guò)有關(guān)《圣經(jīng)》和莎士比亞的書(shū)。但是，他最有名的作品還是他的科幻小說(shuō)。
阿西莫夫不僅有著超凡的想象力，使他能對(duì)未來(lái)世界進(jìn)行探索，而且還有著驚人的智力，使他能對(duì)現(xiàn)在和過(guò)去的各種事物作出解釋。 阿西莫夫的一生從俄羅斯開(kāi)始，他生于1920年1月2日；阿西莫夫的一生在紐約結(jié)束，他死于1992年4月6日。
他是因?yàn)榫拍昵暗囊淮屋斞懈腥玖税滩《径ナ赖摹?阿西莫夫三歲的時(shí)候，就隨同父母和年僅一歲的妹妹遷到紐約。
在那兒，他的父母買(mǎi)下了一家糖果店，后來(lái)一直經(jīng)營(yíng)了大約40年。阿西莫夫九歲的時(shí)候，母親懷了第三個(gè)孩子，他就開(kāi)始在糖果店里工作了。
他讀中學(xué)和大學(xué)的那段時(shí)期都在糖果店里工作，一直到1942年，也就是他獲得化學(xué)碩士學(xué)位一年以后他才停止糖果店的工作。1942年，他在費(fèi)城海軍造船廠里擔(dān)任初級(jí)化學(xué)師，干了三年。
1948年他獲得了化學(xué)博士學(xué)位。第二年起他在波士頓大學(xué)的醫(yī)學(xué)院任生化教員。
1958年他放棄了教學(xué)工作成為專(zhuān)職作家。 早在阿西莫夫十一歲的時(shí)候，他的寫(xiě)作才華就已經(jīng)顯露出來(lái)了。
他把他寫(xiě)的小說(shuō)中的兩個(gè)章節(jié)念給一個(gè)朋友聽(tīng)，那個(gè)朋友還以為他是在復(fù)述某本書(shū)上的故事呢。這使阿西莫夫很驚訝。
從此以后，他就開(kāi)始認(rèn)真地從事寫(xiě)作了。1939年，阿西莫夫開(kāi)始在科幻雜志上發(fā)表故事，1950年出版了自己他的第一部小說(shuō)，1953年出版了他的第一部科學(xué)書(shū)籍。
阿西莫夫一生中多次獲過(guò)獎(jiǎng)，既有科幻小說(shuō)獎(jiǎng)，也有科學(xué)書(shū)籍獎(jiǎng)。在他那些最負(fù)盛名的科幻小說(shuō)中，有本獲獎(jiǎng)的書(shū)叫做《基地》三部曲（1951-1953），有三個(gè)小故事，講的是未來(lái)銀河系中一個(gè)偉大帝國(guó)的滅亡與復(fù)興。

拉里.貝爾蒙特在一家生產(chǎn)機(jī)器人的公司里工作。最近，該公司要對(duì)一個(gè)家用機(jī)器人進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)。這項(xiàng)試驗(yàn)將由拉里的夫人克萊爾來(lái)嘗試。 克萊爾并不想把機(jī)器人留在家里，特別是在她丈夫離家三周的這個(gè)期間。但是克萊爾被拉里說(shuō)服了。他說(shuō)，機(jī)器人不會(huì)傷害她。這樣會(huì)是個(gè)意外的收獲。然而她初次見(jiàn)到機(jī)器人的時(shí)候就感到有點(diǎn)兒吃驚。機(jī)器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一個(gè)人，而不像臺(tái)機(jī)器。他雖然面部表情毫無(wú)變化，但是個(gè)子高大、相貌英俊，頭發(fā)平整，聲音低沉渾厚。 第二天早晨，托尼戴著圍裙，給她端來(lái)了早餐，然后問(wèn)她是否需要幫忙穿衣打扮。她感到有點(diǎn)兒不好意思，很快就打發(fā)他走了。機(jī)器人如此通人性，這使她覺(jué)得心煩和害怕。 有一天，克萊爾說(shuō)起，她覺(jué)得她自己并不聰明。托尼則說(shuō)，克萊爾一定是很不高興，才會(huì)說(shuō)出這樣的話來(lái)。克萊爾覺(jué)得，機(jī)器人會(huì)向她表示同情，這有點(diǎn)荒唐可笑。但是她開(kāi)始信任托尼了。她告訴托尼她太胖了，這讓她很不高興。還有對(duì)于像拉里這樣很想提高社會(huì)地位的人來(lái)說(shuō)，她的家也不夠高雅。她跟格拉迪絲.克拉芬不一樣，格拉迪絲是遠(yuǎn)近聞名的有錢(qián)有勢(shì)的女人。 托尼為讓克萊爾高興，答應(yīng)幫助她，使她變得漂亮，使她的家變得高雅大方。于是克萊爾從圖書(shū)館借來(lái)一堆書(shū)給托尼閱讀，或者說(shuō)給他瀏覽一下。她驚奇地看著他的手指翻動(dòng)著書(shū)頁(yè)，忍不住突然伸出手來(lái)摸他的手指。他的手指甲和他那柔軟溫暖的皮膚使她感到大為驚異。她在想，這是多么可笑啊，他只不過(guò)是臺(tái)機(jī)器呀！ 托尼給克萊爾換了個(gè)發(fā)型，又改變了化妝風(fēng)格。因?yàn)椴辉试S托尼陪克萊爾去商店，所以托尼就給她寫(xiě)了一份購(gòu)物清單。克萊爾進(jìn)城去買(mǎi)了窗簾、坐墊、地毯和床上用品。然后她去了一家珠寶店買(mǎi)項(xiàng)鏈。柜臺(tái)售貨員對(duì)她很粗魯，她就打電話給托尼，讓售貨員同托尼講話。售貨員馬上就改變了態(tài)度。克萊爾對(duì)托尼表示感謝，并說(shuō)他是個(gè)“可愛(ài)的人”。她剛一轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身去，就看到格拉迪絲.克拉芬站在那兒。克萊爾想，格拉迪絲認(rèn)為她有風(fēng)流韻事了。畢竟格拉迪絲知道她的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。 克萊爾回到家里，坐在扶手椅上氣得直哭。格拉迪絲的一舉一動(dòng)都是克萊爾想模仿的。托尼告訴克萊爾說(shuō)，你可以同格拉迪絲一樣，還建議克萊爾邀請(qǐng)克拉迪斯和她的朋友到家里來(lái)玩，時(shí)間就定在托尼離去和拉里回家之前的那個(gè)晚上。托尼想在此之前將房子改裝得煥然一新。 托尼有條不紊地搞著裝修。克萊爾有一次想來(lái)幫忙，但是太笨手笨腳了，竟從椅子上掉了下來(lái)。盡管托尼當(dāng)時(shí)在隔壁房間里，他還是及時(shí)趕過(guò)來(lái)把她接住了。他把她緊緊地?fù)г趹牙铮杏X(jué)到了他身上有股暖氣。她尖叫了起來(lái)，把他推開(kāi)，跑回她的房里，那天她就再也沒(méi)有出來(lái)過(guò)。 聚會(huì)的那天晚上來(lái)到了。時(shí)鐘敲響八點(diǎn)，客人馬上就要到來(lái)了。克萊爾叫托尼到另一間房里去。就在那一瞬間，托尼彎曲胳膊摟著她，彎下腰去把臉貼近她的臉。她大叫一聲“托尼”，然后聽(tīng)到托尼一本正經(jīng)地說(shuō)，明天他不想離開(kāi)她，而且他并不滿(mǎn)足于僅僅使她開(kāi)心。就在這時(shí)，前門(mén)的門(mén)鈴響了。托尼放開(kāi)了她，消失得無(wú)影無(wú)蹤了。也就在這時(shí)候，克萊爾才意識(shí)到托尼早就把前邊窗戶(hù)的窗簾拉開(kāi)了。她的客人把這一切看得一清二楚。 克萊爾和她的房子、美食給女士們留下了深刻的印象。就在他們離開(kāi)之前，克萊爾聽(tīng)到格拉迪絲跟另外一個(gè)女人小聲地說(shuō)，她從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)像托尼這樣英俊的男人。受到那些女士的妒忌，這該是多么甜美的勝利！克萊爾也許并沒(méi)有她們那樣漂亮，但是他們中沒(méi)有任何一個(gè)人擁有這樣英俊的情人。 這時(shí)候，她記起來(lái)了——托尼只不過(guò)是一臺(tái)機(jī)器。她高聲嚷道：“讓我獨(dú)自呆一會(huì)兒！”就跑上床，哭了一個(gè)通宵。第二天早晨開(kāi)來(lái)一輛汽車(chē)，把托尼接走了。 公司對(duì)托尼和克萊爾相處三個(gè)星期的實(shí)驗(yàn)報(bào)告非常滿(mǎn)意。托尼保護(hù)了一個(gè)人免受傷害，他使克萊爾沒(méi)有因?yàn)樗氖「卸鴤ψ约骸Ｄ翘焱砩希_(kāi)了窗簾，讓其他女人看到了他和克萊爾在一起，他明白這么做對(duì)克萊爾的婚姻并不造成危害。但是，盡管托尼很聰明，他還得作一番改建——總不能讓女人和機(jī)器相愛(ài)吧。
