Ever since it was first possible to make a real robot, people have been hoping for the
invention of a machine that would do all the necessary jobs around the house. If boring and
repetitive factory work could be (31) by robots, why not boring and repetitive
household chores too?
For a long time the only people who really gave the problem their attention were amateur
inventors And they came up against a major difficulty. That is, housework is (32)
very complex. It has never been one job it has always been many. A factor robot carries
(33) one task endlessly until it is reprogrammed to do something else. It doesn’t
run the whole factory. A housework robot on the other hand, has to do several different types
of cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to cope with all the different shapes and positions
of rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats and dogs.
(34) , there have been some developments recently. Sensors are available to help
the robot locate objects and avoid obstacles. We have the technology to produce the
hardware. All that is missing the software- the programs (35) will operate the
machine

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.
When we moved to our new house near the sea, I was eight years old. Even before that I had
spent every summer messing about on boats. My dad had taught me to sail before I learnt to
ride a bike so I knew how I wanted to spend my time at the new house- I was going to get my
own boat and sail it every day. The house was only a few metres from the water's edge, and
in rough weather the waves would come crashing into the front garden. I used to sit with my
nose pressed to the glass, fascinated by the power of the ocean. I grew up watching the skies
to see if it was going to rain; would I be going sailing that afternoon or not?
Of course I sometimes wished I could live in the town like my friends. I used to get irritated
with my parents, who had taken early retirement because they seemed incapable of getting
anywhere on time. Dad drove me the eight miles to school every day, but I was often late
because he had been walking on the cliffs earlier in the morning and had lost track of time.
When I was taking my university entrance exams, I used to stay over at a friend’s house in
town, just in case. All in all, I was lucky to grow up by the sea and I still love to sail.

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.
Not very long ago, when people needed to find a job, there were several possible steps. They
might begin with a look through the classified ads in the newspaper. They could go to the
personnel office at various companies and fill out an application, or they could go to an
employment agency. They could even find out about a job opening through word-of-mouth
- from another person who had heard about it.
These days, job hunting is more complicated. The first step is to determine what kind of job
you want (which sounds easier than it is) and make sure that you have the right education for
it. Rapid changes in technology and science are creating many professions that never existed
until recently. It is important to learn about them because one might be the perfect profession
for you. The fastest-growing areas for new jobs are in computer technology and health
services. Jobs in these fields usually require specific skills, but you need to find out exactly
which degrees are necessary. For example, it may be surprising to learn that in the sciences,
an M.S. is more marketable than a Ph.D! In other words, there are more jobs available for
people with a Master of Science degree than for people with a doctorate (however, people
who want to do research still need a Ph.D.)
How do people learn about "hot" new professions? How do they discover their "dream job"?
Many people these days go to a career counselor. In some countries, job hopping has become
so common that career counseling is now "big business". People sometimes spend large
amounts of money for this advice. In Canada and the United States, high school and college
students often have access to free vocational counseling services on campus. There is even a
career organization, the Five O'Clock Club, which helps members to set goals. Members
focus on this question: what sort of person do you want to be years from now? The members
then plan their career around that goal. All career counselors - private or public - agree on
one basic point: it is important for people to find a career that they love. Everyone should be
able to think, "I'm having such a good time. I can't believe they're paying me to do this.”
(Adpted from “Interaction 2 Reading”, Pamela Hartmann & Elaine Kim, Mc Graw Hill)
