So when a group of young scientists from a nearby university in Pisa called Peccioli's city hall and asked for permission to run a robotics test，all they had to do was say the magic word：trash.

　　During a recent test at Peccioli's main street，the strange garbage collecting robot came into people's sight：It had two wheels，rounded arms，and two big inspiring eyes，seeming to have escaped from the cartoon movie "Wall­E"．

　　Like a taxi answering a call，DustCart rode across the street to meet the caller.Once the robot arrived，it asked for a personal ID number that both identifies (识别) the user and tracks the garbage.It also sorted out the trash being dumped-organic，recyclable or waste.DustCart then opened its belly bin (垃圾肚)，collected the trash and took it to a fake dumping site.

　　Besides replacing the garbage man，Dario，the head scientist，said DustCart could also be an answer to the noise pollution that comes with traditional trash collection in Italy.In cities like Rome，for example，noisy trucks collect garbage in the middle of night.To solve that problem，DustCart runs on a silent，specially­designed battery operated engine.

　　However，its whole reaction time still seems too slow to deal with any real situation.Placing DustCart throughout the crowded streets of European capitals is an even farther reach.

　　"We still need to work on it，" admitted the scientists，"but we are on the right track."

　　Fortunately，the research team has time and money to do it.

　　DustCart is part of a project called "DustBot，a $3.9 million research program that started in 2006 to implement robotics in society in useful ways，such as cleaning the streets."

　　It was given a friendly look to encourage interaction with humans.But for many Italians，who believe in drying their shirts on clothes lines even in December and still look at microwaves with suspicion，the idea of handing their trash to robots seems a little too advanced-or odd.Even in Peccioli.

　　"Perhaps I find it hard to give my final opinion on a project like this，" said Luca Di Sandro，a small businessman from the town."But I have become curious."

　　语篇解读　意大利科学家研制出新型的"垃圾回收机器人"，它可以随时听候用户的差遣，主动上门分门别类地收取垃圾。

　　1．From the first paragraph we learn that________.

　　A．Peccioli met the serious garbage problem in the 1980s

　　B．Peccioli owns the biggest dumping site in Italy

　　C．people in Peccioli benefit a lot from collecting trash

　　D．people in Peccioli only use green energy from garbage

解析：　细节理解题。根据文章第一段的介绍，尤其是最后一句可以看出，Peccioli人以垃圾回收为业，从中获益颇多。
