UNIT 8 LIFE IN THE FUTURE
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions form 1 to 5.
One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in
situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example,
the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it
doesn't "bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in
undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already,
robots are working in the plastics industry and in chemical and industrial
equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is still in
automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous
work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The
work they need to do is brought to them, like cars on an assembly line,
for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s,
Japan led the world in robot production with more than 71,000 industrial
robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as well as other
countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be
made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while
they are working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now see with
TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak using a voice
made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand."
Thinking and understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the
future will probably be very complex. They will be able to perform many
humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology will make the future a very
interesting place!
