Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.
Since the dawn of human ingenuity (独创性), people have devised greater and greater tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion (强制) has resulted in attempts to make robots, machines with human capabilities. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.
As a result, the modern world is increasingly full of intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum (忙碌) to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization (小型化) of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with perfect accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.
But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves-goals that pose a real challenge. "While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manager of a program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world."
Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor (晶体管) circuits might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.

A. the use of machines to produce science fiction

design a robot that can ________.
A. fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery
B. interact with human beings orally
C. have a little common sense

A. Robots will always require supervision.
B. People have both successes and failures with robots.
C. The making of robots will always meet mixed successes.
