In fac, it has already around for many years inthe form of vending machines, selling of chocolate or drinks. Tis idea has been further developed to the first robot shop, which may eventually change the future shopping. prototype robot shop in a suburb of London looks like a giant jing machine. The first thing you notice are the two large display which are absolutely packed with goods. The display on the is refrigerated and holds items such as milk, yoghurt and while the display on the left has an impressive selection of coffee cakes and crisps. It does not have the variety of tional shops, but it can cope with a late night request for or painkillers. ‘central console between the two windows is where you actually do shopping. You key in the code numbers of the goods you want, ich are displayed just underneath each item in the window, and a robot arm reaches out and picks up each item, bringing it over ‘the console inside the shop. biggest problems. The challenge is to create a piece of machinery, which will be delicate enough to pick up eggs but at the same time strong enough to pick up bottles of mineral water and baked bean cans. The arm has to be very accurate in order to pick up the item ‘it has reached for, cary it to the hatch and safely drop it into it. ‘The difficulty of judging customer attitudes is another reason why the robot shop has to be tested. Customers are still cautious about doing most of their shopping in a robot shop, but this is only to be expected; every new invention has been regarded with some suspicion at first. The real question is whether, aver the three-month testing period, enough people will overcome their doubts and start shopping here in significant numbers. | ‘The manufacturers of robot shops suggest that the small shopkeeper in inner-city areas represents their biggest potential client. Many shops like these only survive because they stay open late, or even round the clock in some cases. People in the area value the convenience of being able to pop out virtually all hours of the day and night for some item they have forgotten or suddenly feel like buying. Small shopkeepers are likely to invest in robot shop equipment, rather than employ part-time staff to work twenty-four hours a day. electronic display shows you the total you have to pay. For rity reasons, you have to do this before the robot arm starts ring your goods. Unlike supermarkets, in robot shops you can collect the goods after you've paid. When the robot arm finds things you want, it drops them into a hatch and you reach inside ‘take them out. If this happened before you paid, you could easily off with the goods without having paid for them. system couldn't yet be described as entirely efficient. There's a of room for improvement. The robot arm represents one of the a ens Sa The question is whether customers will prefer the impersonal service of a robot shop to the conventional type of shopping where there's human contact. Experience with similar mechanised service equipment, such as cash dispensers, suggests that there are considerable advantages for both customers and shop owners. Machines do not take lunch breaks, they hardly ever make mistakes and they are never rude to customers. Isnt this the sort of efficiency people want from a shop these days?

He was punished for this by being banned from the next four ‘matches. The target of his venom, Gisele Fabio, has become the most high-profile woman in Brazilian football Times “are changing in British football, too. Not long ago the manager of a Scottish team was forced to resign after criticising the country’s first woman referee by saying: ‘I knew it wasn’t going to be our day when | found out we had a woman running the line. She should be at home making the tea or the dinner for her man after he has been to the football. This is a professional man’s game.’ An attitude like this may have been relatively uncommon a few generations ago, but over the last decade or two the vast majority of 82 You are going to read an article about ‘uestions 8-18, choose the correct an: FCE Test 5 >> PAPER 1 Reading >> Part 2 a men have changed their view of the place a woman should have in society. Annie Macintosh has been a referee for six years and is currently the highest level femal official in Britain. During her rise to this position, she has learnt to be tolerant of criticism, and not to become excited or get offended by hurtful verbal attacks. She takes the comments with a pinch of salt. ‘He is entitied to say what he likes. There is no point getting yourself all upset. From the experiences that | have had he is in the minority.” You have to develop a thick skin as, a female referee in the men’s ‘5 game. In spite of all this, Macintosh ‘says that being a woman on the field can have its advantages too. Many men consider it wrong to use bad language in frott of women. "Sometimes you get the odd idiot who shouts something, but usually they use less colourful language. They behave better. One team coach told me he wanted me to referee another game at that club to improve the players’ behaviour.’ ‘The confusion, she adds, also has its comic moments. Fans have not updated their vocabulary to take account of female officials. Macintosh says she finds it funniest when spectators suddenly '@ woman who is a professional ref wer, A, B, Cor D, Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet. become aware that she is a woman and become tongue-tied. ‘A voice in the crowd will shout, “Oi, linesmant Erm, | ‘mean lineswoman! Erm, | mean assistant referee!”” While it is unlikely that a woman footballer will have the physical Strength to compete at the top level in a men’s team, there is no similar obstacle to women refereeing men's football. In fact, the authorities running Europe football are actively encouraging women referees, believing it helps increase women’s interest in football generally. In Brazil, Gisele Fabio says the path to becoming a referee has been about breaking down cultural rather than legal barriers. ‘For as long as I'm aware there have been no rules against women refereeing the men’s game. It was just that none did.’ Fabio agrees that footballers treat female referees differently. ‘In principle they treat you with more respect. They are scared that you will give them a card more readily. This is an advantage for us.’ Most impressively, Fabio has been top of the referee rankings published by daily sports papers. ‘I think | was first because | am a novelty.

Some people seem to make do perfectly well with three or four hours a night, while others genuinely appear to need eight or nine hours. . Sleeplessness can also affect your waistline. People who are deprived of sleep have increased appetites and tend to put on a lot of weight in a short period of time. Interestingly, these hallucinations can be understood as sort of waking dreams. If the body isn't allowed to sleep, it still experiences the dreams, but because you're dreaming while you are awake, they can seem very real, ‘To be more specific, itis the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex that suffers the most. This is the section of our brain that makes us human; it responsible for what we say, what we think and what we do. Experts have concluded that this simply isn’t true, despite what many people believe. Instead, sleep is a sort of luxury for almost the entire body. But why should lack of sleep be such a problem? After all, if you lie in bed in a quiet room, and you feel relaxed, surely you are getting the same benefits as you would if you were asleep. How long can humans go without sleep? As with other areas of sleep studies, itis difficult to perform research into this question. Talking to a person in this state is rather an odd experience, because he can't ‘concentrate properly on what you are saying. He will look around with a blank expression, and his voice will have a flat, monotonous tone. Of course, psychological factors can also have this effect.
