Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代）of people who had placed things inside the box.When the box was opened after midnight, the things inside the box were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photos, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and lots of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the President of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelts friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.Many of the letters were written to their descendants. They describe the hopes that the people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand people. Now nearly half a million people live there.Colorado College Library has scanned the materials and put them on a website.

Not one of their children is adopted（領(lǐng)養(yǎng)）.When people hear about the Albinas large family, the first question they ask is, How is it possible? How can one woman give birth to 64 children in her lifetime?

Mrs Albina loved her sons, but she wanted a daughter very much.The Albinas spent the early years in Argentina. Then they decided to move to Chile. To travel from Argentina to Chile, they had to cross the Andes Mountains. Mr and Mrs Albina and their 21 sons made the difficult, two-week joumey on mules. One night there was a terrible snowstorm in the mountains. During the snowstorm, Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets, a boy and-two girls!The oldest Albina children are in their thirties and forties. They are on their own now, but 18 of the Albina children still live with their parents The family lives in a two-room shack in Colina Chile. The shack has electricity but no toilet or running water. The children wash in a small bowl in the dusty backyard.At times there is very little food in the Albinas small house. When there is not enough food for everyone, Mrs Albina makes sure the youngest children do not go hungry. The smallest eat first, and then the bigger ones. Weve always done it that way, she says. Obviously, the Albinas do not have enough money for their big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion (宗教）.They could let other people take care of their children, but Mrs. Albina will not allow it. When my two brothers and I were babies, she says，our mother left us at an orphanage（孤兒院）and never returned. We lived there together until we were five. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised myself that when I became a mother, I would never give my children away.

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(手推車) and open and close doors. ASIMO can even shake hands. It stands 120 centimeters 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(辨認(rèn)) 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.（1）Why is ASIMO designed to be 120 centimeters tall? （2）How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands? （3）At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved? （4）Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart? （5）Put the main ideas (A-D) in the order that the passage is arranged.A.
