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 labour 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.

11
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.

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

A. It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making.

B. It is better at conversation.

C. It requires no break

D. It can operate machinery.

2. 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. The alarm would stop, but go off again soon

D. Nothing would happen at all

3. Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over robots?

A. It takes some time for people to accept robots.

B. Robots may do some harm to humans.

C. The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched.

D. Robots may be dominant at the workplace.

4. The word "tedious" in the last paragraph mostly means ____.

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

5. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Some reasons why people don't accept robots yet.

B. A very amusing science-fiction story about robots.

C. How people in local communities are supporting robots.

D. A few of the latest robots on the market today.

6. According to the first paragraph, how is the life changed since our parents time?

D. robotics will have been a major business by 2030

I. Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question.

Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest of the
dietary energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of calories from
fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich communities.

In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble
vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have
high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to
remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats
add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the
body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to
strategically located fat deposits.

Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known.
When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and
their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these
abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other
animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an
essential nutrient for humans.
