Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will
take over many of our tasks, especially jobs of a repetitive nature. But it is doubtful if robots will
ever be able to do many of the more creative types of work - or indeed if people would want them
to. At the home robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table laying, scrubbing and
washing up, but it is considered unlike so far that they will be used to do cooking - at least not in
the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the
meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things
they wanted.

Baxter was introduced in September 2012. It is used for simple industrial jobs such as loading,
unloading, sorting, and handling of materials. It is a new robot which is different from other
robots to work in industry because it can learn. A worker can teach Baxter how to do a task by
moving its hands. After that, it will memorize them. Any worker can program Baxter and it only
takes a few minutes, while other industrial robots need many different programs and coding
before they can be used. This means Baxter needs no programming in order to work. No software
engineers are needed. This also means Baxter can be taught to perform many difficult tasks at the
same time.

Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
People are very interested in robots. Some of them look like mechanical dolls to play with. Most of
them look like other machines of today's high technology.
Serious research on intelligent robots began in the 1960s in several countries. Now we are on the
fifth generation of robots. The first robots were very expensive. They cost $500,000 when a worker
could do the same work for $15 an hour. By the early 1970s, a robot brain, a computer, cost
$300,000. Today's robots cost from $15,000 to $150,000.
One of the advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful
for human workers.
Today there are millions of people who work at machines in the world. Robots will replace them.
Part of the problem will be solved because of the decrease in the number of births. There will be
fewer people looking for jobs. Many people will find changes in their jobs, and they will not like
some of them.
The students of today must be sure that these changes are good. Robots must improve, not harm,
the quality of human life.

Most robots today are industrial robots. Humans use them to make work easier and quicker. You
often see them in car factories where they put the parts of the cars together. They are useful for
this kind of work as it is 'dull, dirty and dangerous' - DVD. Robots are often used for DDD jobs
and where a specific action needs to be repeated. It is very difficult for humans to do this.
There are many different types of robots. Some robots travel through space, work on the bottom of
the ocean, or go inside volcanoes. They do the work of people, but for a different reason this time:
there are places that are very dangerous for people, or impossible for people to go to.
Robots are everywhere. Most people don't know that robots help us everyday and in many
different ways. In most houses, there are robots. For example, in some houses today there is a
