WHY I DISLIKE COMPUTERSAlmost everyone says that computers are wonderful and that they are changing our own lives forthe &tter by making everything faster and more reliable, but I am not so much sure that this isthe case

The other day I was standing in large department store until waiting to pay for a couple offilms for my camera when the assistant announced that the computer which controlled the till it hadstopped working I did not thiak this was a big problem and I set myself off to find anothercounter, but of course, all the machines are one part of the same system So there we were: ashop full of customers, money at the ready, waiting to make our purchases, but it was quite clearthat none out of the assistants knew what to do They were not allowed to take our money andgive to customers a written receipt, &cause the sales would not then have been recorded on thecomputer system In the end, like with many other people, I left my shopping on the counter andwalked out Don’t you think so that’s ridiculous? It would never have happened beforecomputers, and that, for me, is all the problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines for

so completely that we simply cannot mange without them any more

Part III: Read the following passage, choose the best answers, and write them in the box below.

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 theisland of Liflle 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 otherbirds, 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 increasetheir 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 blackrobins The organizers say that Little Manger should then be restocked with the robin’s food- it eats onlyone kind of seed- and so renewed for it Thousands of required plants are at present being cultivated inNew Zealand The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin willnot die out and disappear from the earth in our time at least

Is all this concern a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives ordies 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 and died out In the long, long future there will be many new and different fomis of life Those creaturesthat adapt themselves successfully to what tire earth offers will survive for a long time Those thatfail to meet the challenges will disappear early That is Nature’s proven method of operation

success-The rule of selection-“the survival of the fittest”-is the one by which man has himself arrived on thescene He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer thanmost Some creatures, certain small animds, 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 dyingout; no other creature

-2-KHAO SAT HOC SINH GIOI: 2008-2009

will extend a paw to postpone his departure On the contrary, he will be hurried out; for Nature, 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 mainly because

a people have been very careless about its survival

b its only food is becoming exhausted on Little Manger

c the other birds on the island have destroyed it

d the apped 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

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

c the big birds have all been aflacking the black robin

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

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

a the ability to adapt to changed and changing conditions

b the number of wild life reserves that are available

c the concern and generosity of the public

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

4 The evidence seems to suggest that

a it is a disaster for every one when one kind of bird dies out

b all creatures are concerned about the survival of others

c Nature expects and accepts the dying out of weaker breeds

d man is to blame when such a ting happens
