In 1986，the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human﹣like robot，to help in home，play football，balance on one foot，and even dance．Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO．It could walk on uneven（不平坦的） surfaces，and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs．
More recently，ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour，using its upper body to control movement．
ASIMO is designed to be friendly．It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home．Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities．It can also push a cart（手推车） and open and close doors．ASIMO can even shake hands．It stands 120centimeters tall，so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down．It can hold two kilos in its hands．It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents．
So，where next for this kind of robot？Well，while ASIMO is attractive，it is still controlled by a human．Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them，and give a reply to human touch and voice．The robots are even learning to recognize（辨认） objects，people and vocabulary．Soon the descendants（后代） of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work．
69．At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved？
70．Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart？
71．Why is ASIMO designed to be 120centimeters tall？
72．How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands？
73．Put the main ideas （A﹣D） in the order that the passage is arranged．
A．Users for ASIMO
B．What similar robots will be able to do in the future
C．Background and history of ASIMO
D．Recent improvements to ASIMO

Brazil is a country in South America．It will host the 2016Olympic Games．

If you go to a business meeting，you are not expected to take a gift．On the other hand，if you are invited to someone's house，you should take a gift﹣for example，flowers or chocolates．However，you shouldn't take anything purple or black，as these colours are related to death．If you are invited to dinner，arrive at least half an hour late，but always dress well because appearances are very important to Brazilians．
Football is very important in Brazil．People play football everywhere，and everyone plays．Adults and children play football in their free time．They usually play on football fields，but sometimes they football on the beach or in the street．Brazil has many world﹣famous footballers，like Pele，Kaka，and Ronaldinho．In total，there are more than 13million players and 29，208football clubs．
