1. We hear many complaints about work in factories; the work is often boring, heavy and repetitive; the operative doesn’t have to think about the work; he gets no job satisfaction. 2. The answer is a robot. For many jobs a robot is much better than human operative. Once it has been programmed, it will do its job over and over again. It never gets bored; it works at a constant speed; it doesn’t make mistakes; its work is always of the same standard; it doesn’t get tired; it can work 24 hours a day without breaks for food, rest or sleep. 3. Robots have other advantages, too. They are designed to do almost any job. You can’t change the human body, but a robot’s arms, for example, can be made to move in any direction. Robots also do very heavy work and they can operate in conditions that are too dangerous, too hot or too cold for people to work in. They work under water, in poisonous gas and in radioactive areas. 4. It is obvious that robots have many advantages over human beings. However, it is also true that humans can do many things that robots can’t. For example, humans can carry out a task without having to be told exactly how to do it first – in other words, they don’t always have to be programmed. 5. Humans can move, but robots are usually fixed in one place. If they are able to move, robots do it only in a very limited way. Unlike robots, people can know whether what they are doing is good or bad, and whether it is boring or interesting. Also robots are only just beginning to be able to understand speech and writing, but humans communicate easily with each other by these methods, and by many others – telephone, drawing, radio, and so on – as well. 6. And we should not forget that robots owe their existence to humans – we make them, repair them and control them, not the other way round. XXI. Answer the following questions.
XXII. Suggest your conception of the ideal robot. XXIII. Translate passage 1 into Russian. XXIV. Read the text once again and name the advantages of Makiis. The Robot that’s Facing the Future 1. How can we apply the new technology of robotics to old problems? That’s now an option on offer to engineering students at the University of Central Lancashire, and already this novel subject is inspiring revolutionary ideas. 2. In the heart of the hi-tech north-west’s aerospace industry, students are imagining new possibilities. Imagine being able to be in two places at the same time. Or having another version of yourself doing all the jobs you’re not keen to do. 3. These ideas are, thanks to new and surprisingly inexpensive technologies, finally becoming possible, and that’s part of the thinking behind ‘Makiis’. 4. An acronym for Makroskopic Intelligent Interaction System, Makiis is a popular name for boys in Greece – and also is a prototype ‘telepresence’ robot which allows people to interact with others anywhere in the world. We think Makiis is one of the world’s first robots that can provide enhanced human-like interaction and presence at a distance. 5. The fantastic thing about Makiis is that it instantaneously allows people to transport their ‘presence’ to another location. But Makiis is different to other telepresence robots; it is more than just ‘Skype on wheels’ because it also hears where sounds come from and turns to face them automatically, exactly as a human would do. 6. Makiis is one example of how modern technology is being used to break down traditional barriers to learning. XXV. Which of the statements below are not mentioned in the text say which of the statements below are not true.

The most striking characteristics of the microelectronics industry has been a rapid decline in cost. 3. In recent years active research has been going on in one of the fields of space industrialization – space material study and production of new materials of better quality. 4. Moore’s law has yielded fast, smart computers, with pretty graphics and worldwide connections. 5. A microelectronic technology has shrunk transistors and other circuit elements to dimensions almost invisible to unaided eye. 6. Researchers have found a way to hide messages in the data sent by voice-over-internet phone systems. 7. Scientists in Japan have found a deposit of highly concentrated rare earth minerals, crucial for the manufacturing of electronics. 8. Apple has introduced two-step authentication for iCloud and other services to beef up security against possibly hacking attacks. 9 Tweeters have been organising their thoughts using hashtags for years. 10 In the past 50 years we have moved from "mainframe" computers that needed their own rooms to ones that fit in a pocket; any smartphone nowadays has as much raw computing power as a top-of-the-line laptop from 10 years ago. c) 1. The attempts to miniaturize electronic components are largely successful. 2. Several research groups have recently reported progress in this field. 3. The advances in DNA-based circuits offer a new, powerful platform to potentially realize researcher’s long-held biocomputing dreams. 4. His collaborators are working on a microchip modeled after neurons. 5. His team is trying to create an alternative to the architecture common to nearly every computer constructed since its invention. 6. He emphasizes that cognitive-computing architectures will not replace conventional computers but complement them. 7. Even before the invention of the transistor the electronics industry had studied the properties of thin films of metallic and insulating materials. 8. Electricity provides light, heat, and mechanical power. 9. A device that counts photons individually will help to greatly extend the range of networks that send encrypted quantum communications. 10. A new scheme for a quantum communications link will allow a sender to relax in the knowledge that only a recipient in exactly the right location can read his message.
