WHY I DISLIKE COMPUTERS

Almost everyone says that computers are wonderful and that they are changing our ovm lives forthe better by making everything faster and more reliable, but I am not so much sure that this is the case, ‘The other day I was standing in large department

store until waiting to pay for a couple of films for my camera when the assistant announced that the computer which controlled the til it had stopped working I did not think this was a big problem and I set myself off to find another counter, but of course, all the machines are

‘one part of the same system So there we were: a shop full of customers, money atthe ready, waiting to make

‘our purchases, but it was quite clear that none out of the assistants knew what to do They were not allowed to take our money and give to customers a written receipt, because the sales would not then have been recorded on the computer system In the end, like with many other people, I left my shopping on the counter and walked out Don’t you think so that’s ridiculous? It would never have happened before computers, and that, for me, is all the problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines for so completely that we simply cannot mange

CONSERVATION- OR WASTED EFFORT?

The black robin is one of the world’s rarest birds It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Manger off the coast of New Zealand In 1967, there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there

‘were fewer than ten There are only black robins left in the world The island has many other birds, of course,

of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily

Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin- to guard those remaining and to increase their number Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made The idea is to buy another island nearly as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild life, including black robins The

‘organizers say that Litle Manger should then be restocked with the robin’s food- it eats only one kind of seed- and so renewed for it Thousands of required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand The public appeal is aimed atthe conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our time atleast

Is all this concer a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies

‘out? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?

In the earth’s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success- and died out In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early That is Nature's proven method of operation

‘The rule of selection-“the survival of the fttest”-is the one by which man has himself arrived on the scene

He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast man, for they seem even more adaptable You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out; no other creature

KHAO SAT HOC SINH GIOI: 2008-2009 will extend a paw to postpone his departure On the contrary, he will be hurried out; for Natur, though fair, is a hard-heard mistress She has no favorites

Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it

1 The black robin is dying out mainÌy because

a people have been very careless about its survival

» its only food is becoming exhausted on Little Manger

« the other birds on the island have destroyed it

4 the appeal for money has come at the wrong time

2 The success of the other small birds on Little Manger shows that

a the island cannot have very much food left

» something has to die out, they cannot all be winners

the big birds have all been attacking the black robi

di the black robin has failed to meet the challenges of life

3 As regard selection and survival, the decisive factor seems to be

2 the ability to adapt to changed and changing conditions

b the number of wild life reserves that are available,

¢ the concem and generosity ofthe public

4 the size ofthe home or the amount of space one has to live in

4, The evidence seems to suggest that

a itis a disaster for every one when one kind of bird dies out

ball creatures are concemed about the survival of others

«, Nature expects and accepts the dying out of weaker breeds

4 man is to blame when such a ting happens

Part IV: Read the text below Use the word given to form a word that fits in the space
