Many Americans believe that manners have gotten worse and official figures confirm this. In a recent
survey, nearly 70% said that people are (23) than they were 20 or 30 years ago. This is
true of both large and small towns, although 74% of (24) living in cities said that people
have become ruder, compared with 67% in rural areas. However, few people believe that they have bad
manners themselves! For example, only 8% in the questionnaire (25) they have ever
used their cell phones in public in a loud or annoying way. Many people (26) new technology for our
changing manners. Computers, MP3 players, and cell phones take us away from face-to-face contact, as

chances for people to be rude to each other,” said Peter Post, an instructor on business manners.
But what can we do about it? Some people would like to see a rail car (27) for cell
phone users so that the rest of us can travel in peace and quiet. In fact, one train company, Amtrak, has

One of the highest honors for formalists, writers, and musical composers is the Pulitzer Prize. First
awarded in 1927, the Pulitzer Prize has been won by Ernest Hemingway, Harper Lee. John F. Kennedy,
and Rodgers and Hammerstein, among others. As with many famous awards, this prize was named after
its founder, Joseph Pulitzer.
Joseph Pulitzer’s story, like that of many immigrants to the United States, is one of hardship, hard work
and triumph. Bom in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer moved to United States in 1864. He wanted to be a
reporter, but he started his American life by fighting in the American Civil War. After the war, Pulitzer
worked for the German - language newspaper, the Westiiche Post. His skills as a reporter were wonderful,
and he soon became a partial owner of the paper.
In 1978, Pulitzer was able to start a newspaper of his own. Right from the first edition, the newspaper
took a controversial approach to new. Pulitzer wanted to appeal to the average reader, so he produced
exciting stories of scandal and intrigue. Such an approach is commonplace today, but in Pulitzer’s time it
was new and different. The approach led to the discovery' of many instances of corruption by influential
people. Pulitzer ‘paper became very famous and is still produced today.
The success of Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper made him a very wealthy man, so he wanted to give
something back to his profession. Throughout his later years, he worked to establish university programs
for the teaching of journalism, and he funded numerous scholarships to assist journalism students. Finally,
he wanted to leave a legacy that would encourage writers to remember the importance of quality. On his
death, he gave two million dollars to Columbia University so they could award prizes to great writers.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Most of us associate robots with films such as Star Wars, I, Robot or AI, but in reality they have more to
do with social issues and politics rather than science fiction. The term robot first made its appearance in a
play entitled Rossum s Universal Robots written almost a century ago by a Czechoslovakian playwright
by the name of Karel Capek. Capek got the name robot from the Slavic word ‘ robota’ which means
forced labour. In his play, he portrays a society where robots, which look human, are mass produced to
work in the place of people.
Capeks story was well received by the critics but never really got credit for being the source of the
notion of robots. The play has significant relevance to our society today, as humanoid-type robots are
being created to fulfil a wide range of tasks. Robot engineers are not only developing mindless worker
drones, but are attempting to create human-like companion robots for people. Consequently, the question
of what actually makes us human is the subject of lively debate.
In the USA, sociable robotics is developing at a relatively rapid rate and a human companion type of
robot could soon be a reality. Japanese researchers see a very bright future for these robots who will serve
as friends or family to the lonely. Nevertheless, one needs to ask if a human being can have a relationship
with a machine in the same way as they do with other people or animals and if so, what effect this could
have on our society. The success of robot toys or virtual pets suggests that this type of relationship is
possible.

Trang
 Research shows that children tend to have similar relationships with humans as with non-humans
whereas the same is true for adults only with pets or when the robot is designed to look like a child. This
is probably because robots display superficial emotions and cannot as yet replace human touch. But will
these machines one day succeed in replacing humans?
Some paint a very dark picture of a robot society and predict that artificially intelligent machines will
take control of the entire planet and dominate the human race. However robot technology is still in its
infancy and the idea of them taking over the world is pure fantasy to most of us, including scientists. In
fact, most robots can only perform very basic tasks and even the most advanced robot that is capable of
expressing over forty different emotions seems to do so in a totally random manner, regardless of what is
going on around it.
In spite of the simplicity of today’s robots, robotic technology is impacting our everyday lives in a
dramatic way. Nowadays, our robots are becoming more and more like those portrayed in Capeks work.
In a society where human relationships are so often strained, it is no surprise that the possibility for
human-robot relationships is increasing.
