阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too… I wasn’t   41   watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   42   our way after saying goodbye.
But at   43 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I   44   the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I      45   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart   46 . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay   47   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While    48   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite… Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the   49 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She   50   them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the   51   in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her   52 . “Wake up, my,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I   53   them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the   54 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I   55   have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way…”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you   56 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the   57   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave   58   will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our   59   than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

She was a four-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her. She was carrying a bowl of soup. I was 29 at that time and   11   from the flu.
Her mom and I had been friends for years.   12   that friendship grew into care, from care into   13   and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a   14 . At first I was afraid to be a “stepfather”. Therefore, I tried not to come   15   my future daughter and her   16   father. I acted in that way in order to be liked. However,   17   she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to   18   with her.
Once her school required the parents to individually(个别的) write an open and   19   letter to our children. I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had   20   me a bowl of soup when I needed   21 .

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars. Today, 36 a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to _37_ in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes and colors. But they all have the same _38_ of man-made “_39_”. Leading the robot revolution(革命) are industrial robots that work in factories. Industrial robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often _40_ and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly asthey are entering _41_. These robots aren’t as friendly and _42_ as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk” and sense objects in their own way. They even _43_ objects though they may sometimes drop. Well, nobody is _44_.
We may _45_ home robots today, but some day they may see and hear _46_ than humans do. We _47_
can only see certain wave lengths of light and hear certain _48_. That’s because the _49_ of our eyes and ears are _50_.
Robots, however, need not have the same limits _51_ we have. Robots may also be _52_ wit devices(装置) that _53_ information humans can’t. However, to understand _54_ their sensing devices pick up is a hard job.
Remember, man-made brains _55_ information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones.
Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like---using only zeroes and ones.
