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 labor 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

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

Question 3. The word "tedious" in the last paragraph mostly means

Question 4. Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over roboties?

A Robots may be dominant at the workplace B Robots may do some harm to humans

C The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched D It takes some time for people to accept robots Question 5. How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and

poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks

into the earth without any control at all

Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination

Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry

Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals

Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air
