PAGE 5/9 - ENGL132
 thousand ships pass through its locks (canal gates) each year.

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1884, 1900,
1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with
one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only
several weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and
his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from
Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn’t give a job. While in
his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with
some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his
election.

proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940

Questions 46 through 50 refer to the following article.
A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is a machine that
moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer. Because it is a machine, it does
not make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it to!
Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots can help make
cars. Some robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example, robots can help explore volcanoes.
Some robots are used to clean things. These robots can help vacuum your house. Some robots can even
recognize words. They can be used to help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like humans. But
most robots do not. Most robots just look like machines.
Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s
name was Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things. But they
were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The first real robot was made
in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant arm.
In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or they will do
things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous for us. Robots will help us
fight fires. They will help us fight wars. They will help us fight sickness. They will help us discover
things. They will help make life better.
