的宾语从句。◆cannot/won’thavesb.doingsth.不允许某人做某事包君满意拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司里工作。最近，该公司要对一个家用机器人进行试验。该机器人将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来测试。克莱尔并不想把机

器人留在家里，特别是在她丈夫离家三周期间。但是拉里说服了她。他说，机器人不会伤害她，也不会让别人伤害她。这样会是个意外的收获。然而她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点儿担心。机器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一个人，而不像一台机器。他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大，相貌英俊

，头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。第二天早晨，托尼系着围裙，给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。她感到尴尬，很快就打发他走了。机器人如此通人性，这使她觉得心烦和害怕。一天，克莱尔说起，她觉得自己不聪明。托尼说，她一定是很不高兴，才会

说出那样的话。克莱尔觉得，被一个机器人同情很荒唐。但是她开始信任托尼了。她告诉托尼她太胖了，这让她很不高兴。还有对于像拉里这样很想提高社会地位的人来说，她的家也不够高雅。她跟格拉迪丝·克拉芬不一样，格拉迪丝是远近闻名的最有钱有势的女人之一。托尼

为让克莱尔高兴，答应帮助她，使她变得更聪明，使她的家变得更高雅大气。于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读，或者说给他浏览一下。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手。他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的皮肤使

她感到大为惊异。她在想，这是多么可笑啊，他只不过是一台机器。托尼给克莱尔换了个新发型，又改变了她的妆容。因为不被允许陪克莱尔去商店，托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。克莱尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、一个地毯和床上用品。然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。当柜台

售货员对她很粗鲁时，她就打电话给托尼，让售货员同托尼讲话。售货员马上就改变了态度。克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，并说他是个“可爱的人”。她刚一转过身来，就看到格拉迪丝·克拉芬站在那儿。克莱尔想，被格拉迪丝发现了，这多么难为情啊。从格拉迪丝脸上的那种有趣而又惊奇的神色来看，克莱尔知道，

格拉迪丝认为她有风流韵事了。毕竟格拉迪丝知道克莱尔的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。克莱尔回到家里，坐在扶手椅上气得直哭。格拉迪丝的一切都是克莱尔想模仿的。托尼告诉克莱尔：“你可以同格拉迪丝一样。”他还建议克莱尔邀请格拉迪丝和她

的朋友到家里来玩，时间就定在托尼离去和拉里回家之前的那个晚上。托尼想在那之前将房子改装得焕然一新。托尼有条不紊地搞着装修。克莱尔有一次想来帮忙，但是太笨手笨脚了，竟从梯子上掉了下来。尽管托尼当时在隔壁房间，但他还是及时赶过来把她接住了。他把她紧紧地搂在怀里，她感觉

到了他身上有股暖气。她尖叫了起来，把他推开，跑回她的房里，那天她就再也没有出来过。聚会的那天晚上来到了。时钟敲响八点，客人马上就要到来了。克莱尔叫托尼到另一个房间里去。就在那一瞬间，托尼弯曲胳膊搂着她，弯下身去把脸贴近她的脸。她大叫了一声“托尼”，然后听到托尼声明说，第二天他不想离开她，而且他并

不满足仅仅使她开心。就在这时，前门的门铃响了。托尼放开了她，消失得无影无踪了。就在那时，克莱尔才意识到托尼早就把前边窗户的窗帘拉开了。她的客人把这一切看得一清二楚！克莱尔和她的房子、佳肴给女士们留下了深刻的印象。就在她们离开之前，克莱尔听

到格拉迪丝跟另外一个女人小声地说，她从来没有见过像托尼这样英俊的男人。受到那些女士的忌妒，是多么甜美的胜利啊！克莱尔也许并没有她们那样漂亮，但是她们中没有任何一个人拥有这样英俊的情人。这时候，她记起来了——托尼只不过是一台机器。她高声嚷着“让我独自待一会儿”就跑上床，哭了一个通宵。第二天早

晨一辆汽车开来，把托尼接走了。公司对托尼同克莱尔相处三个星期的实验报告非常满意。托尼保护了一个人免受伤害，他使克莱尔没有因为她的失败感而伤害自己。那天晚上他拉开窗帘，让其他女人看到了他和克莱尔在一起，他明白这么做对克莱尔的婚姻并不造成危害。但是，尽管

托尼很聪明，他还得经过一番改造——总不能让女人与机器相爱吧。Ⅰ阅读理解AAHarvardstudyoftheirgraduatesoverthirtyyearsfoundthattherewereonlyasmallpercentage(3%)ofthemwhoac
