People in cities all over the world shop in supermarket. Who decides what you buy in<br />
the supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?<br />
When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles<br />
between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.<br />
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. If you hear fast music,<br />
you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to<br />
buy things.<br />
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to<br />
find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter to meat department, the<br />
cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You<br />
have to walk by the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy<br />
some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.<br />
The dairy department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many<br />
customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has different containers of low<br />
fat milk. One say “1 percent (1%) fat” on the container. The second says “99 percent (99%) fat<br />
free”. The third says “Low Fat” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the<br />
milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each<br />
containers is also the same. However, in this store the three containers of milk cost three<br />
different amounts of money. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most.<br />
Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says “Buy me!” to the<br />
customers. The expensive meat says “ Buy me!” as you walk by. The expensive milk container<br />
says “Buy me! I have less fat”. The supermarket tell you what to buy.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br />
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br />
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a<br />
man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its<br />
owner. In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories<br />
about robots and invented the term robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real<br />
world, the first robots were developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor,<br />
George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the<br />
first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General<br />
Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money<br />
for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.<br />
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in<br />
science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were<br />
simply pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they<br />
were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for<br />
humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got<br />
hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for<br />
humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many<br />
factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the<br />
same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the<br />
robots.<br />
Question 43: When did the word “robot” appear?<br />
A.in 1921<br />
B.in 1961<br />
C.in 1940<br />
Question 44: What can be said about Karel Capek?<br />
A.He was an American science fiction writer.<br />
<br />
D.in 1970<br />
