Passage One
Would you trust a robot to park your car?
The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown.
The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome,
dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.
Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment building basement that would otherwise fit only 24,
accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.
A human shaped robot will not be stepping into your car to drive it.
Rather, the garage itself does the parking.
The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out.
The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.
There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to new users.
Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein,
the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. subsidiary of a German company.
This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.
Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question9 What do we learn about robotic parking in the U.S. so far?
Question10 What advantage does robotic parking have according to its developers?
Question11 What does the attendant do in the automated garage?
Question12 What does the company say about the parking rates?

由一个机器人为你停车，你敢吗？
今年二月，当纽约的第一家机器人停车场在唐人街正式开放以后，纽约人便将切实面对这一问题。
该技术已在海外得到成功应用，但由于技术问题，美国的另一家机器人公共车库却遭遇重重问题，
经常出现汽车掉落或汽车被困的情况。
尽管如此，唐人街的机器人车库开发商却对这项技术自信满满，他们还指望着这项技术能通过取消一般停车场所需的移动空间，
将67辆汽车塞进一个原本只能停放24辆车的公寓楼地下车库。
不会有任何人形机器人驾驶你的爱车。
整个停车过程由车库本身完成。
司机将车停在一个平坦的平台上，然后下车。
这个平台会沉降至车库内，然后通过一个由电脑控制的、类似于电梯的设备运送到一个空闲的停车位。
整个过程没有人工监督，但现场会有一名服务员收取现金，并向新用户作系统方面的说明。
根据阿里·米尔斯顿，停车费将约为每月400美金或每日25美金。
阿里·米尔斯顿是“自动停车系统开发有限公司”的策划总监，该公司位于美国是一家德国公司的分公司。
该公司已在海外多个国家以及美国华盛顿某幢居民楼建造了自动化车库。
问题9-12是基于刚刚你所听到的那篇短文。
问题9：我们了解到了前美国机器人停车场的什么？
问题10：根据开发商的描述，机器人停车场的优势是什么？
问题11：服务员在自动化车库做什么？
问题12：公司说停车场的收费标准是什么？
