Question 20:A event B experience C incident D occurrence

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 from 24 to 30

Most of us associate robots with films such as Star Wars, I, Robot or Al, but in reality they have more to do with social

issues and politics rather than science fiction The term 'robot' first made its appearance in a play entitled Rossum’s Universal

Robots written almost a century ago by a Czechoslovakian playwright by the name of Karel Capek Capek got the name robot

Trang 2

from the Slavic word ‘robota’ which means forced labour In his play, he portrays a society where robots, which look human,

are mass produced to work in the place of people

Capek’s story was well received by the critics but never really got credit for being the source of the notion of robots The

play has significant relevance to our society today, as humanoid-type robots are being created to fulfil a wide range of tasks.Robot engineers are not only developing mindless worker drones, but are attempting to create human-like companion robotsfor people Consequently, the question of what actually makes us human is the subject of lively debate

In the USA, sociable robotics is developing at a relatively rapid rate and a human companion type of robot could soon be areality Japanese researchers see a very bright future for these robots who will serve as friends or family to the lonely.Nevertheless, one needs to ask if a human being can have a relationship with a machine in the same way as they do with otherpeople or animals, and if so, what effect this could have on our society The success of robot toys or virtual pets suggests thatthis type of relationship is possible Research shows that children tend to have similar relationships with humans as with non-humans whereas the same is true for adults only with pets or when the robot is designed to look like a child This is probablybecause robots display superficial emotions and cannot as yet replace human touch But will these machines one day succeed

in replacing humans?

Some paint a very dark picture of a robot society and predict that artificially intelligent machines will take control of theentire planet and dominate the human race However, robot technology is still in its Infancy and the idea of them taking overthe world is pure fantasy to most of us, including scientists In fact, most robots can only perform very basic tasks and eventhe most advanced robot that is capable of expressing over forty different emotions seems to do so in a totally randommanner, regardless of what is going on around it

In spite of the simplicity of today’s robots, robotic technology is impacting our everyday lives in a dramatic way Nowadays,our robots are becoming more and more like those portrayed in Capeks work In a society where human relationships are sooften strained, it is no surprise that the possibility for human-robot relationships is increasing

[Source: STARLIGHT 10, Module 5, Virginia Evans, 2010]

Question 34: Another defeat in parliament would seriously weaken the president's ability to govern.

In recent years many countries of the world have been with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There is

Trang 3

evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers' life more enjoyable," it does not actually make him work

harder As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.

Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is

true The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinerywhich must be used very little that can be done to create it

Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making In most factories theworker sees only one part of the product Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production linesrather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line, it would seem thatnot only is degree of the worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about

To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this js important Butperhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more A

similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more
