三、阅读理解

People began to make robots about several hundred years ago. In the past, some of the early ones looked like animals or humans. However, they couldn’t talk and were pretty dumb. They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over.

Now modem robots don’t always look like people. Some are like big machines, and others are nothing but long arms attached to boxy (箱子般四方的) bodies. However, modem robots are smart. Some can solve problems on their own. Their brains are computers and their eyes are sensors (传感器). Motors (发动机) help them move.

In the future, robots will learn from their mistakes more than they do now. They will be smarter. It’s possible that we will have robot judges, robot household workers, and robot factory workers. Robots will help people to do more things.

，针对大一的学生上大学之后存在一段的迷茫期，他们之所以迷茫，是因为他们没有奋斗的目标，是因为没有班主任在每天的早自习对他们进行了教育，以往他们的学习目标性都十分的明确，小学目的就是升入一个比较好的高中，上初中是为了上比较好的高中，上高中为了去一个比较好的大学。可真的到大学了，他们究竟应该怎么办不知道了?他们缺少一定的奋斗目标，在这个特殊的心理时期，我给他们开了主题班团会，给他们专题讲授职业生活规划，帮他们一起确定自己在大学的奋斗目标。让他们觉得原来的那个爱唠叨的班主任还在，还是有人管他们的。我个人觉得，大一时期是大学四年非常重要的一个时期，也是基础，是需要认真对待的，所以在每天固定课室的早读、晚修我都非常重视，除找同学谈心外，更有重点的进行主题教育活动，使大家尽量避免懒散，养成良好的个人学习、生活、工作习惯。所以大一，我主要是从养成教育入手，有针对性的对大一新生进行养成教育、校情校貌教育、安全教育、心理教育、适应性教育、为人处世教育等。(二)谈心工作　　大学生心理问题一直都是辅导员工作的重中之重，大学生的整合程度相对来说较低，他们个人与班级并没有联系起来的纽带，对于大学生日常生活最重要之一的教室是一个流动是场所，就像一个临时停靠站一样，在这停两站，明天又在不同的地方上课。没有固定的教室就没有一个家，个人永远是个人，他们和集体之间没有联系，更不要说纽带了，由此可以看出，缺乏一定的社会整合使大学生感觉自己没有归属感，没有集体责任感，没有了学生人人向往的家，向往的那份信念，他们没有一个统一的思想。虽然他们现在有固定的课室，但也只是相对稳定而已。　　为此我以寝室、班级、特殊学生等为单位在我的学生中进行了谈心工作，和学生们聊学习，聊生活，聊兴趣爱好，在大家发言中留意每一个学生的状况，一旦发现问题及时解决。在谈心过程中我也会和大家分享我的大学寝室生活，讲讲发生在我身边的故事，让每一名同学在寝室中首先找到自己的家，让他们觉得自己不再孤单。在开展班级团日活动、主题班会的过程中，又让同学以寝室为单位出节目，通过这一形式，让每一个寝室在班级这个集体中找到自己的归属。(三)深入沟通　　坚持“三个深入”和“两个沟通”的工作理念。三个深入”即经常深入到课堂、经常深入到寝室、经常深入到班级。“两个沟通”，即经常和学生沟通，经常和学生家长沟通。利用自己住校的便利条件，经常深入寝室，与学生进行沟通，及时发现学生在寝室生活中出现的问题，和各位班委一同解决。定期与学生家长进行电话沟通，将学生在校各方面情况向家长进行反馈，与家长一起把小孩教育好，使小孩在各方面得到很好的发展。　　管理学家说：“高级管理者，引导人的思想。低级管理者，管理人的行为。”作为一名辅导员，十分注重学生思想政治教育工作。主要从以下三个方面开展工作。(一)班委带头，学生跟进　　作为一名专职辅导员，我清楚的认识到，我所带领的不仅是普通大学生，其中绝大部分是青年团员，还有部分党员，对他们要注重政治意识的培养和提高。在新生入学不久后，他们部分参加了学院团课的学习，在第二期系举办的团学干部培训中又有一部分同学参与，通过各种学习和培训，使班级的凝聚力和向心力不断增强，使得班委在实际工作中，也得心应用，不但使每一次活动都开展的好，而且在活动过程
