The Rise of Robots

As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they
were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual labor
for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In fact, with
the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?

By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing
up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that's completely staffed by robot workers.
Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can
serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.

Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the
shade. Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get
up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room. Once
you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the snooze button. Although these early home
robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on.

Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned about a 
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of

questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.

Question 29. How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?

A. It never has to stop. B. It is better at conversation.

C. It can operate machinery. D. It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making.
 Question 30. The word "tedious" in the last paragraph mostly means ______________.

A. intelligent B. boring C. expensive D. difficult

Question 31. What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?

A. You would have to wake up immediately B. The alarm clock would turn off forever
C. Nothing would happen at all D. The alarm would stop, but go off again soon
 Question 32. Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over roboties?

A. Robots may do some harm to humans B. It takes some time for people to accept robots.
C. Robots may be dominant at the workplace. D. The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched.
 Question 33. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

</div>

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding 
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of
environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the
environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and
poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks
into the earth without any control at all.

Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may
rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink
deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used
for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.

Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up
soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.

Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm 
animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be
affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.
