D. READNG
I. Read the text, and decide whether the statements are True or False.
Worker robots are becoming more popular in industries. Nowadays they can do more difficult
jobs in many factories. The use of robots helps factories increase the quality of their products because
robots can do the job well for many hours while humans can get tired and bored.
Engineers can make robots effective and useful at home, at school, and at work.
However, a robot uses on average about 100 times more than energy than a human to do the
same job. The latest 20 kg robot can lift 2 kg, but a 5kg human arm can lift 50 kg.
True False
1. Factories are using more robots.  

II. Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
People are very interested in robots. Some of them look like mechanical dolls to play with.
Most of them look like other machines of today’s high technology.
Serious research on intelligent robots began in the 1960s in several countries. Now we are on
the fifth generation of robots. The first robots are very expensive. They cost $ 500,000 when a worker
could do the same work for $15 an hour. By the early 1970s, a robot brain, a computer, cost $300,000.
Today’s robots cost from $ 15,000 to $ 150,000.
One of the advantages of people who work at machines in the world. Robots will replace
them. Part of the problem will be solved because of the decrease in the number of births. There will be
fewer people looking for jobs. Many people will find changes in their jobs, and they will not like
some of them.
The students of today must be sure that these changes are good. Robots must improve, not
harm, the quantity of human life.
1. What generation of robots are we on now?
______________________________________________________________________
2. What is one of the advantages of robots?
______________________________________________________________________
3. What makes a robot brain?
______________________________________________________________________
4. Why aren’t people no longer worried that robots will replace them?
______________________________________________________________________
5. What is the thing that students of today are sure?
______________________________________________________________________
III. Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
Most robots today are industrial robots. Humans use them to make work easier and quicker.
You often see them in car factories where they put the parts of the cars together.
They are useful for this kind of work as it is “dull, dirty and dangerous” - DDD. Robots are
often used for DDD jobs and where a specific action needs to be repeated. It is very difficult for
human to do this.
Robots are everywhere. Most people don’t know that robots help us every day and in many
different ways. In most houses, there are robots. For example, in some houses today there is washing
machine in the kitchen. Washing machines are robots. People can programme them and then they
wash clothes automatically.
Some scientists make robots for fun. For example, the dogs are made as toys for small
children.
