    If a little humanlike robot begged you not to shut it off, would you show sympathy?
    In an experiment    56    (intend) to find out how people treat robots when they act like humans, many participants struggled to power down a begging robot named Nao.    57    experiment was conducted by researchers in Germany, whose findings    58    (publish) in the scientific journal PLOSOne.
    Nao,   59    was designed to beg about half of the participants not to switch it off but not the other half, was used    60    (measure) if his begging affected how people reacted.
    In one previous experiment, researchers found that people preferred communicating with robots with complementary(互补的) personality characteristics to    61    (they) own. And since robots can exhibit social characteristics either    62    (speak) with human voices or taking the shape of a human body, the research suggests that people tend to react “   63    (especial) social to them.”
    The researchers said a possible    64    (explain) for their results was that people regarded Nao's begging   65    “a sign of making its own decision.”
