M AN AND M ACH INE
BY M ARK RAVENS
Science and technology have developed a lot since the fifteenth century, when the artist Leonardo da Vinci drew
mechanical figures that looked like men – the first known robot designs. Now, of course, robots are everywhere, from
factories to space stations, and they safely carry out all sorts of tasks, from cutting the grass to performing surgery.
However, until recently, most of them didn’t look like humans at all, as Leonardo imagined, and they certainly didn’t
have feelings. But now all that is beginning to change.
Imagine a world in which robots not only look like us but also know our moods, and have feelings themselves. It might
even be possible for robots to become our friends! Science fiction writers have written about a world just like that for
many years, and scientists are now predicting that intelligent robots like these will exist quite soon. In fact, they’ve
already produced one that recognizes sound, movement, and touch. Its bright red heart, which you can see through its
plastic body, beats faster if you are rough with the robot or shout at it. But its heart slows down if you are gentle with it.
Although it can’t talk, it’s easy to believe the robot actually has feelings!
It’s true that so far, ‘human’ robots do not really move, talk, or respond in the way we humans do, but they are becoming
more advanced all the time. At some point in the future, a robot will definitely be created that may not look like us, but
will be capable of doing anything that we can. And then we will truly be in the world of science fiction stories!
1 What does Mark say about da Vinci’s robot drawings?

A The designs were amazing for their time.
B Some later designs were based on them.
C They were the earliest designs ever recorded.
2 In the first paragraph, Mark says that robots

A are used much more than before.
B already look like real people.
C can still only do basic tasks.
3 What does Mark say about science fiction writers?

A They have warned about the dangers of intelligent robots.
B The robots they have written about might soon be real.
C They are looking forward to having robots as friends.
4 Mark says that the robot with a heart

A realizes what’s happening around it.
B really has feelings.
C understands how other people feel.
5 In the final paragraph, Mark says he

A hopes that robots won’t advance much further.
B believes that completely ‘human’ robots will only exist in stories.
C thinks that robots will one day do what humans do.

TEEN TYCOON
BY S ARAH MARS H
Have you ever bought something on the Internet that wasn’t new? It’s becoming a more popular way to buy
second-hand things, and you can certainly pick up some bargains. However, if it’s something expensive, like
a car or a computer, you need to see it first, if you don’t want to make a mistake that will cost you money.
Of course, some people get things from the Internet that they don’t need to pay for! One person who has got
second-hand things online is teenager Steven Ortiz from the US. He became the owner of a car worth about
$10,000 that he saw online – but he got it without any money! So how did he do it? With the patient and
clever use of a website he discovered, which advertizes items that people want to exchange for something
else. The whole process took him two years.
It all started when Steven was given an old cell phone by a friend. He traded it for a better phone, which he
then exchanged for an MP3 player. Next came several bikes, a laptop, and then a series of cars. With the
fourteenth exchange, he ended up with a Porsche – a very expensive sports car. Luckily, by then he was old
enough to drive it!
The story may sound too good to be true, but in fact, Steven isn’t the first person to do something like this. In
2005, Kyle MacDonald was in the news when he started with a small red paperclip and ended up with an
entire house, also in fourteen moves. Kyle did it by creating a website called ‘One red paperclip’ and also
blogging about his adventures. Followers contacted him with offers of items to exchange, and altogether the
process took him a year. Since then, he has written a book about what he did, and has become a celebrity in
Canada, his home country.

MAN A ND MAC H I NE
BY MARK RAVENS
Science and technology have developed a lot since the fifteenth century, when the artist Leonardo da Vinci drew mechanical figures
that looked like men – the first known robot designs. Now, of course, robots are everywhere, from factories to space stations, and they
safely carry out all sorts of tasks, from cutting the grass to performing surgery. However, until recently most of them didn’t look like
humans at all, as Leonardo imagined, and they certainly didn’t have feelings. But now all that is beginning to change.
Imagine a world in which robots not only look like us but also know our moods, and have feelings themselves. It might even be
possible for robots to become our friends! Science fiction writers have written about a world just like that for many years, and
scientists are now predicting that intelligent robots like these will exist quite soon. In fact, they’ve already produced one that
recognizes sound, movement, and touch. Its bright red heart, which you can see through its plastic body, beats faster if you are rough,
with the robot, or shout at it. But its heart slows down if you are gentle with it. Although it can’t talk, it’s easy to believe the robot
actually has feelings!
It’s true that so far, ‘human’ robots do not really move, talk or respond in the way we humans do, but they are becoming more
advanced all the time. At some point in the future, a robot will definitely be created that may not look like us, but will be capable of
doing anything that we can. And then we will truly be in the world of science fiction stories!
1 Mark says that when da Vinci drew some robots, he

A copied earlier work from someone else.
B made them look like real people.
C also built the robots he’d designed.
2 Mark says that robots nowadays

A can already do a wide range of tasks.
B are better at simple tasks than difficult ones.
C don’t seem safe in some of the jobs they do.
3 In the second paragraph, Mark says that

A it will not be long before robots develop feelings.
B science fiction writers were wrong about robots.
C he can’t imagine having a robot as a friend.
4 How does Mark describe one robot that already exists?

A It can have a conversation.
B It understands what you’re feeling.
C It knows what’s going on around it.
5 Mark thinks that in the future, robots will

A look just like we do.
B be more advanced than we are.
C do all the things that we do.

TEEN TY CO O N
BY SARAH MARS H
Have you ever bought something on the Internet that wasn’t new? It’s becoming a more popular way to buy second-hand things, and
you can certainly pick up some bargains. However, if it’s something expensive, like a car or a computer, you need to see it first, if you
don’t want to make a mistake that will cost you money.
Of course, some people get things from the Internet that they don’t need to pay for! One person who has got second-hand things online
is teenager Steven Ortiz from the US. He became the owner of a car worth about $10,000 that he saw online – but he got it without
any money! So how did he do it? With the patient and clever use of a website he discovered, which advertizes items that people want
to exchange for something else. The whole process took him two years.
It all started when Steven was given an old cell phone by a friend. He traded it for a better phone, which he then exchanged for an
MP3 player. Next came several bikes, a laptop, and then a series of cars. With the fourteenth exchange, he ended up with a Porsche – a
very expensive sports car. Luckily, by then he was old enough to drive it!
The story may sound too good to be true, but in fact, Steven isn’t the first person to do something like this. In 2005, Kyle MacDonald
was in the news when he started with a small red paperclip and ended up with an entire house, also in fourteen moves. Kyle did it by
creating a website called ‘One red paperclip’ and also blogging about his adventures. Followers contacted him with offers of items to
exchange, and altogether the process took him a year. Since then, he has written a book about what he did, and has become a celebrity
in Canada, his home country.
