There’s a good chance that something you've bought online has been in the hands of a “ picker” first. These are the workers in warehouses(仓库)who pick, pack and ship all those things we’re ordering.
At Amazon and other companies, they’re working side by side with robots. Experts say while the robots are replacing some human workers, the machines aren't quite ready to take over completely.
When a robot finds its storage unit, it slides underneath, lifts it up and then delivers it to a worker —they’re called pickers. On a recent day, the computer told a picker to grab what looked like a fantasy board (棋盘)game. The picker found it, scanned it and placed it on the conveyor（传输机）belt.
“In a traditional fulfillment center where the associate would walk to the different items , it can take hours to fulfill a customer order. ”Robinson says.
Now, with the help of robots, that task takes minutes and fewer humans.
So is this a sign we're entering a new industrial revolution?
“It’s definitely going to take over a lot of jobs. ” says Karen Myers, a scientist at SRI, one of Silicon Valley's oldest research centers.
At the same time, she says, we’re running against the limits of technology. Take “the picker”at the Amazon fulfillment center. Myers says those skills are proving to be uniquely human.
“Our fingers are incredibly agileand the current generation of robotic operators, they’re getting much，much better,” she says. “But they're just not quite there yet. ”
There’s also therobot’s brain.
Remember that board game the Amazon worker was looking for? She could barely see the box filled into the storage bin — but she could tell it was a board game. Robots can’t do that.
Technologists say that, increasingly, humans will work side by side with robots instead of robots working alone.
Amazon says robots and humans enabled the Tracy warehouse to fulfill customer orders faster. That means more customers and more human workers.
24. A picker does some tasks except .
A. picking goods
B. packing goods
C. spotting goods
D. producing goods
25. With the help of robots, some tasks are .
A. more difficult
B. less straight
C. more efficient
D. less profitable
26. Compared with robots, which word can replace the underlined word in paragraph 9 to describe human?
A. flexible
B. artificial
C. powerful
D. energetic
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots replacing humans completely. B. Robots and humans working side by side.
C. The futureof robots.
D.The advantages of shopping online.

It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative（法制的）approach.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
. The senator’s office spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.
A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy
