Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots according to a new research. The study, conducted-at the-University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical (相同的) task when in the presence of both their peers (同龄人) and robots. 

It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.

The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying. 

When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87%on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot. 

Professor Belpaeme said, "People often follow the opinions of others and we've known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around-us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots. What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力)with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think?"

1. （1） What did the adults do when staying with robots?

   A . They generally refused the robots' effects. B . They totally accepted the robots' suggestions. C . They tried to persuade robots to resist them. D . They usually compared robots with their children.
3. （2） Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment?

   A . Because children were not as clever as the adults. B . Because robots reflected better than human beings. C . Because robots in the presence made mistakes. D . Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose.
5. （3） What is Professor Belpaeme's attitude towards the result of the experiment?

   A . He is optimistic about the result. B . He is worried about the future. C . He doesn't care about the result. D . He doubts the result of the research.
7. （4） What should be followed after the last paragraph?

   A . What is the meaning of the research? B . What should adults do to avoid the problem? C . Why are children more likely to be influenced? D . What will be done to solve the problem?
