In the<br /> UK about one-third of all students go on to some form of higher education and this number is well<br /> over 50% for students from Scotland. This makes competition for places very fierce and so it is<br /> advised to apply early for courses.<br /> In the UK most undergraduate degree programs take three years to finish; however, the<br /> “sandwich course” is increasing in popularity, which is four years and involves one year in the work<br /> place (normally in your third year). In Scotland, the courses are four years in length for undergraduate<br /> programs.<br /> For graduate or masters programs, they are generally shorter in length and undertaken after<br /> graduation of your undergraduate program. Some professional degrees like medicine, veterinary, law,<br /> etc. have longer programs that can be as much as five years.<br /> <br /> Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 209<br /> <br /> From 2007, universities in the UK are allowed to charge students from the UK up to £3,070 per<br /> year (depending on the school and location).

These fees for international<br /> students can range anywhere from £4,000 per year right up to £18,000 per year or more.<br /> Choosing the right school is dependent on a large number of factors such as:<br /> <br /> Location of the school?<br /> <br /> How much does it cost?<br /> <br /> Size of the school?<br /> <br /> Access to home comforts?

She<br /> has been designed to learn and adapt to human behavior and work with humans, and has been<br /> interviewed around the world. In October 2017, she became a Saudi Arabian citizen, the first robot to<br /> receive citizenship of a country.<br /> According to herself, Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015. She is modeled after actress<br /> Audrey Hepburn, and is known for her human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous<br /> robotic variants. According to the manufacturer, David Hanson, Sophia has artificial intelligence,<br /> visual data processing and facial recognition. Sophia also imitates human gestures and facial<br /> expressions and is able to answer certain questions and to make simple conversations on predefined<br /> topics (e.g. on the weather). The robot uses voice recognition technology from Alphabet Inc. (parent<br /> company of Google) and is designed to get smarter over time. Sophia’s intelligence software is<br /> designed by Singularity NET. The AI program analyses conversations and extracts data that allows her<br /> to improve responses in the future. It is conceptually similar to the computer program ELIZA, which<br /> was one of the first attempts at simulating a human conversation.<br /> Hanson designed Sophia to be a suitable companion for the elderly at nursing homes, or to<br /> help crowds at large events or parks. He hopes that she can ultimately interact with other humans<br /> sufficiently to gain social skills.<br /> Sophia has been interviewed in the same manner as a human, striking up conversations with<br /> hosts. Some replies have been nonsensical, while others have been impressive, such as lengthy<br /> discussions with Charlie Rose on 60 Minutes. In a piece for CNBC, when the interviewer expressed<br /> concerns about robot behavior, Sophia joked that he had “been reading too much Elon Musk, and<br /> watching too many Hollywood movies”. Musk tweeted that Sophia could watch The Godfather and<br /> suggested “What’s the worst that could happen?”.<br /> On October 11, 2017, Sophia was introduced to the United Nations with a brief conversation<br /> with the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J.Mohammed. On October 25, at the Future<br /> Investment Summit in Riyadh, she was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, becoming the first robot<br /> ever to have a nationality. This attracted controversy as some commentators wondered if this implied<br /> that Sophia could vote or marry, or whether a deliberate system shutdown could be considered<br /> murder. Social media users used Sophia’s citizenship to criticize Saudi Arabia’s human rights record.<br /> <br /> (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_robot)<br /> Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?<br /> A.
