Robot technologies in our home

There are lots of science fiction books and films about robots. Nice and humanlike metal and plastic creatures often become children's friends there. Robots learn how to distinguish (различить) between good and evil, and how to become a friend to a human being. To our surprise and delight we find out that robots are able to experience feelings — they can feel happy, upset, and even angry. [1] They can even risk their life, [2], for someone they love.

Is artificial intellect a pure fantasy or are there any scientific discoveries behind this idea? [3] What we know for sure is that robotics is a rapidly developing technology, and soon we can expect robots to enter our houses and stay there for a long time. It’s already happening in Japan, where machines of all shapes and sizes are widely used. Besides being used in different industries, robots do lots of housework: they clean the house, serve tea and wash up after that. [4] These robots wake people up in the morning, inform them about the weather and ask questions about their health. The robots are able to recognise faces, keep eye contact and maintain conversations. In Japan, [5] humanoid robots have already become friends for lots of elderly people.

Robots for households are usually designed in a humanlike manner and resemble human beings — they have a head, arms and legs. Japanese scientists believe that in several years robots will be common in every household and feel very enthusiastic about it.

1. in robots’ terms they risk being destroyed or reprogrammed

2. Amazing but robots can take care of disabled or aged people!

3. Some rescue robots, which can dig deep after earthquakes, have already been created.

4. It’s still difficult to answer this question.

5. We can see robots break the technological low of logic and rational to defend human beings.

6. Elderly people often feel lonely and need some company.

7. which has the largest percentage of aged people in the world

READING

1. Read the text and match the headings with the paragraphs. (8 points)

_We are all thinking about our holidays this time of the year, so to help you prepare, here is the list of top things you must not leave without.

a) An all important requirement that you must not forget, especially if it's prescribed as it might not be easy to get hold of abroad. The last thing you want is to feel ill or worried on your holiday.

b) This will save you a lot of time because you won't be deciding what you want to do for half the day before eventually agreeing on something. It's a great way to find out about the culture and traditions of the area that you are going to be staying in.

c) Please don't forget these, especially if your tickets and your passports are kept together with them!!!!

d) Remember not to pack too much! It's a good idea to lay everything out on your bed that you want to pack and then be really ruthless and only take what you really need!

e) Applicable to so many holidays as the weather does get hot sometimes and your skin can burn. Even if you're going on a ski holiday, you still need to bring it as the rays of the sun reflect off the snow making it even more dangerous.

f) Where would we be without at least some cash? Of course, you can take your credit card with you, but it is essential to carry a small amount of cash. Telephone calls, bottles of water, sweets, etc are all small purchases that are better paid with cash.

g) OK, so you will be on holiday, but that doesn't mean you have every moment planned. You may want to relax before going to bed. You can also read on the beach, or while travelling.

h) Nearly always essential even if you're not going to the beach, as some hotels in the cities
might have swimming pools. You'll only envy the other people enjoying the water if you don't bring yours along.

2. Read the text and choose the correct options to fill in the gaps.

Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because they offer an (1) ... price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the (2) ... operator to see that you get safely to your (3) ... . Excursions, local (4) ... , swimming, sunbathing, skiing — you name it — it's all laid out for you.

There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to (5) ... anything yourselves. You (6) ... friends and (7) ... a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a bus trip, when you spend most of your time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit (8)... buildings and monuments, but you'll probably be allowed only a brief stay (9) ... in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be (10) ... and have breakfast early in time for the bus next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but there is always a time constraint.
