W: Last week, I went to the science and technology museum. I was greatly interested in a new kind of robot — Home Doctor. Home Doctor was invented two months ago. And it was invented by three young men who are still college students in Xi’an. It looks like a lovely girl, and it is about 1.2 meters tall. It is made from recycled products such as glass and plastic. Home Doctor can not only give people lots of advice on health, but also treat common illnesses and wounds from home accidents like simple cuts. It will save people a lot of time because they needn’t go to the hospital when they feel sick or hurt. What’s more, it can help take good care of old people and babies at home. I believe Home Doctor will be very popular with people in the future.

M: Dear friends, welcome to our radio program. Our topic today is films. Films are everywhere. But how did they all start? In 1891, the first machine that could show pictures on a small screen was invented by the Edison company. Then four years later, people could watch moving pictures for the first time! In 1907, people watched silent films in cinemas on big screens. The only sound came from a pianist in the cinema. These early films were made in black and white. Sound first appeared in films in 1927. In 1935, there were movies in color.
