This means we shall have to find ways to share tha available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work ourselves, rather than for an employer?

But, in fact, it could offer a prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.

Reading passages and then answer the questions below: Passage 1: Every word on a label describing a food, a drug, a cosmetic, or a medical device is important in protecting you and your family from buying an inferior product,

from misusing a good one, from being tricked by dangerous quackery, or from unknowingly possessing an item harmful to health. First of all, the label on a can or package of food must be completely truthful. If a loaf of bread is made with soy flour, the loaf cannot be labeled as white bread. A label must not be misleading. This restriction is somewhat vague and therefore cannot prevent all violations. Although the government tries to eliminate all misleading labels, the consumer must nevertheless be always on guard. Just because a can os sardines has a fancy-sounding foreign name, do not take for granted the fish were imported. That is a law too that manufacturers must list their names and places of business on their labels. Manufacturers must use common names in identifying their products so that anyone can readily understand what he is buying. Synthetic foods must be prominently labeled as artificial. Food composed of two or more igredigents must bear labels listing all ingredigents in the order of predominance. 1. According to the article. What is the main purpose of a label? . 2. What will a careful reading of a label prevent? .. 3. What does the author suggest? 4. What may a foreign name on a label cause? . 5. Where must the most important ingredient of a product be listed? . Passage 2: Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over many of your tasks, especially jobs of a repetiyive nature. But its doubt if robots will ever be able to do of the more creative types of work-or indeed if people would want them too. in the home robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing up, but its considered unlikely so far that they will be used to do the 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. Thay would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more things they wanted. 1. How is a robot accepted now? . 2. What is a doubt about robots? . 3. What would robots be used for in the home? .. 4. Could robots do the cooking and plan the meals creatively? 5. Why would robots be used as slaves? .. Passage 3: The city with the highest temperature yesterday was Singapore. At noon the temperature in Singapore was 330 C and at midnight the temperature there was

250 C. Tokyo had the second highest temperature. It was only 20 C lower than in Singapore at noon. The temperature in Rome at noon was 300 C. The same as in New York, one degree higher than that in Athens and Hong Kong. The temperature at midnight was the same as the temperature at midnight in Paris, but its noon temperature was 240 C. The coolest city was London, with a temperature of only 220 C at noon and 130 C at midnight. The five cities with the highest temperature had a lot of sunshine throughout the day. Although it was cloudy in Athens and Paris, it did not rain. It was also cloudy and dry in Slockholm, but it rained heavily in both London and Hog Kong. 1. Whats is the highest temperature in Singapore? . 2. What city had the same temperature as in New York? . 3. What city was the coolest city on that day? . 4. Where didnt it rain? . 5. Where does the passage come from? . Passage 4: When the petroleum first comes out of the ground, it is called crude oil. This oil is impure. In other words, it is dirty, and people need to clean it. When they clean or refine it, they manufacture different products. They put the oi into the furnace to heat it. The lightest part of the oil becomes natural gas. We use the natural gas to heat our homes and to cook with. The heaviest part of the oil becomes asphalt. We use asphalt to pave roads and parking lots. In between the natural gas and the asphalt, this process produces gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, and lubricating oil. We use gasoline to operate our cars. We need lubricating oil to grease machines and other mental objects with moving parts, for example, sewing machine. 1. What is crude oil? . 2. What does of the lightest part of the oil become? . 3. What is a natural gas used for? . 4. What happens to the heaviest part of the oil? . 5. What do we use to operate our cars? Where does it come from? . C.

First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth wth a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body; milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetable and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 1. Only when do a lot of people visit a dentist? 2. How often ought we to try to clean our teeth? 3. What should not we eat a lot? 4. What are sweets harmful? 5. What happens to our teeth when food and germs collect in small crack? Passage 2: For many years many people believed that the cleverest animals after man were Chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that Dolphins maybe even cleverer than these big apes. Although a

Dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is an animal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being. Dolphins have simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It maybe possible for man to learn how to talk to Dolphins. But this will not be easy because Dolphin can not hear the kind of sounds man can make. If the man wants to talk to Dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and Dolphins can understand. Dolphins are also very friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories of Dolphins guilding ships through difficult and dangerous water. 1. Which animals do people think may be the cleverest? 2. What other beings are Dolphins like in many ways? 3. What have scientists discovered about Dolphin? 4. Why is the third language necessary if man wants to talk to Dolphin? 5. In what way are Dolphins friendly to man? Passage 3: Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of the danger. Fire was also to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung the small fires in wire baskets from posts to light the streets. One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell him the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly. 1. What did man probably first use fire for? 2. What purpose was fire used by Red Indians? 3. What were the first street lights? 4. How long did the candle clock take to burn? 5. What would happen if a wind blew on the candle clock? Passage 4: Uri Geller was born in 1946. When he was only three, he was aware that he had amazing ability, in 1969 he gave his first public performance in a school. He gently rubbed a spoon with his finger, and it began to bend. Three years later he drove car blindfolded through the crowed street of Munich. Later Uri Geller appeared on television in Britain in front of a small studio audience of scientists. He bent spoons and broke metal objects simply by touching them gently with his fingers. He also drew pictures of hidden objects. After the programme, however, there were hundreds of telephone calls, people reported that spoons in their homes bent during the programme. Metal objects broke and watches which had stopped many years ago suddenly started to go again. 1. When did Uri Geller have strange powers?

The next spring back came the birds with the brands to very same place. Back same the young birds to build their nestson the walls of farm buildings in the neighbourhood. The phoebe, it was learned, in winter wherever it was warm enough to find flies. In summer, phoebes could be seen from Georgia to Canada in winter anywhere from Georgia to Flordia

The bands do not hurt the birds, as they are made of aluminum and are very light. They come in different sizes for different size birds. Each band has a special number. On each band are these words: Notify Fish and Wildfife service, Washington D.C.

Polars bears and Arctic foxes can easily move undetected amidst the winter snows. Many butterflies colors make it

A child of two or three years who cant make he desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships with others will get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him is clear, and his family talk to him, he will gain a satisfactory command of language directly, by his mother, his language ability will be greater.

Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that extinction will have been caused amost entirely by poachers, who, according to some sources, are not always interested in in material gain but in personal gratification.

Smokers pollute the air. They breathe out 100 times as much pollution as nonsmokers. They breathe out on their children and on their wives or husbands. Children whose parents smoke have more breathing and lung problems than other children.

Passage 2 (answer Tor F) Whether or not a person has a happy life is largely a question of health and fitness. If we are not both physically and mentally healthy, we are not happy. A few people are lucky enough to have perfect health, but most of us get sick once in a while. The most common illness is a cold or the flu. Of course, there are many other kinds of illness. Diseases like chicken pox are usually common childhood diseases along with the measles and mumps, while malaria is found only in tropical countries. Also, people in areas with poor santitation get diseases such as cholera, diphtheria and typhoid. Cancer and AIDS are both in the news lately but neither has a known cure. AIDS is a new disease, and prevention is extremely important. Individuals are responsible for making sure they understand the nature of this disease and for taking precautions not to get it. Cancer, which is widespread, is possible caused at least in part by stress. Other likely causes of cancer are exposures to food additives, nicotine, and other toxic chemicals. Effective handlingof stress and good self-awareness are necessary to be spychologically healthy. Alcohol dependency and drug dependency are diseases of both mental and physical nature and are associated with the inability to deal with life and its problems. Modern urban life presents many health challenges. Large cities often have smog which seriously harms the lungs. We often have little control over the quality of the air we breathe or the water we drink. Therefore, it is even more important for us to take care of ourselves in order to live in a healthier and better life. 1. There is a cure for cancer T F 2.

First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth wth a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body; milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetable and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 6.

Now, however, there is proof that Dolphins maybe even cleverer than these big apes. Although a Dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is an animal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being. Dolphins have simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It maybe possible for man to learn how to talk to Dolphins. But this will not be easy because Dolphin can not hear the kind of sounds man can make. If the man wants to talk to Dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and Dolphins can understand. Dolphins are also very friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories of Dolphins guilding ships through difficult and dangerous water. 6. Which animals do people think may be the cleverest? 7. What other beings are Dolphins like in many ways? 8. What have scientists discovered about Dolphin? 9. Why is the third language necessary if man wants to talk to Dolphin? 10. In what way are Dolphins friendly to man?

In some parts of the world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of the danger. Fire was also to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung the small fires in wire baskets from posts to light the streets. One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell him the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly. 6. What did man probably first use fire for? 7. What purpose was fire used by Red Indians? 8. What were the first street lights? 9. How long did the candle clock take to burn? 10. What would happen if a wind blew on the candle clock? Passage 4: Uri Geller was born in 1946. When he was only three, he was aware that he had amazing ability, in 1969 he gave his first public performance in a school. He gently rubbed a spoon with his finger, and it began to bend. Three years later he drove car blindfolded through the crowed street of Munich. Later Uri Geller appeared on television in Britain in front of a small studio audience of

scientists. He bent spoons and broke metal objects simply by touching them gently with his fingers. He also drew pictures of hidden objects. After the programme, however, there were hundreds of telephone calls, people reported that spoons in their homes bent during the programme. Metal objects broke and watches which had stopped many years ago suddenly started to go again. 6. When did Uri Geller have strange powers? 7. What could he do during his first performance? 8. What did Geller do on television in Britain? 9. What happened after the performance? 10. What did a lot of people report in their homes? III.

II. Reading: How can we know that the birds we see in the South in the winter are the same ones that come north in the spring? Once John! Audubon a bird lover, wondered about this. Every year he watched a

pair of little phoebes nesting in the same place. How wondered if they were the same birds. He decided to put tiny silver bands on their legs. The next spring back came the birds with the brands to very same place. Back same the young birds to build their nestson the walls of farm buildings in the neighbourhood. The phoebe, it was learned, in winter wherever it was warm enough to find flies. In summer, phoebes could be seen from Georgia to Canada in winter anywhere from Georgia to Flordia and Mexico. The poebe was the first kind of bird to be branded, and Mr. Audubon was the first birdbander. Today there are hundreds of birdbanders all over America. These peoples band all kinds of birds. The government of the United States has a special birdbanding department which makes all the birdbands. The bands do not hurt the birds, as they are made of aluminum and are very light. They come in different sizes for different size birds. Each band has a special number. On each band are these words: Notify Fish and Wildfife service, Washington D.C. Anyone who finds a dead bird a band on as legs is asked to send the band to Washington with a note telling where and when the bird was found.

A child of two or three years who cant make he desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships with others will get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him is clear, and his family talk to him, he will gain a satisfactory command of language directly, by his mother, his language ability will be greater.

Passage 2 (answer Tor F) Whether or not a person has a happy life is largely a question of health and fitness. If we are not both physically and mentally healthy, we are not happy. A few people are lucky enough to have perfect health, but most of us get sick once in a while. The most common illness is a cold or the flu. Of course, there are many other kinds of illness. Diseases like chicken pox are usually common childhood diseases along with the measles and mumps, while malaria is found only in tropical countries. Also, people in areas with poor santitation get diseases such as cholera, diphtheria and typhoid. Cancer and AIDS are both in the news lately but neither has a known cure. AIDS is a new disease, and prevention is extremely important. Individuals are responsible for making sure they understand the nature of this disease and for taking precautions not to get it. Cancer, which is widespread, is possible caused at least in part by stress. Other likely causes of cancer are exposures to food additives, nicotine, and other toxic chemicals. Effective handlingof stress and good self-awareness are necessary to be spychologically healthy. Alcohol dependency and drug dependency are diseases of both mental and physical nature and are associated with the inability to deal with life and its problems. Modern urban life presents many health challenges. Large cities often have smog which seriously harms the lungs. We often have little control over the quality of the air we breathe or the water we drink. Therefore, it is even more important for us to take care of ourselves in order to live in a healthier and better life. 1. There is a cure for cancer T F 2.
