Unit 2 of Book 7 每课时练案 课时一：Speaking Warming up I 文化视野之美文欣赏 Will the Elderly Ever Accept Care From Robots? The new movie Robot Frank shows a machine taking care of an old man. The challenge here isn’t the technology, but the people. A poster for Robot and Frank, a movie about an elderly man and his robot Early in the new science-fiction film Robot Frank (opening Aug. 17 in New York and Aug. 24 elsewhere), Frank, an elderly man, gets a visit from his son, Hunter.

Half of those over 85 require assistance in everyday activities, and, if 2009 numbers hold up, more than 13 percent of people over 85 will spend time in nursing homes.
