 Computers are gradually replacing human labour in many areas of our lives. An important area in
computer technology is the use of computer systems to perform jobs which require intelligence, such
as learning how to sing or spotting familiar objects. Most computers cannot do these things because
they do not have a "brain" to think. However, things are changing as people come up with newer and
smarter computers.
Computer scientists have come up with computers which can "think". These special computers do
not actually have "brains" but are fed with many facts and pieces of information about the job they are
built to do. For example, there are computers which can identify which area contains gold or other
materials. They learn about the important qualities of the mineral such as its colour, weight and the
areas it is most likely to be found. This makes it easier for the computers to spot the mineral in
different parts of the world.
Computers can also be used in factories. Businessmen and factory owners use computers in the form
of robots. These robots contain computer systems that enable them to perform the job they are
programmed to do. A single robot can do a job which would have take three people to do; this saves
businessmen precious time. There would no longer be any need to train workers for different tasks and
it would be cost-effective for employers as well.
In time to come, it is possible that computer systems would take away many jobs. However, there is
also an increased need for people who can build, design and repair computers. Thus, not all jobs will
run out in the near future.
Question 44. According to paragraph 1, what is one task which needs "thinking" that
computers are not able to do?
A. Performing jobs B. Replacing human labour
C. Spotting familiar objects. D. Coming up with newer computers
Question 45. The phrase "things are changing" in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. people thinking like computers
B. people buying computers
C. computers looking like people
D. computers being able to perform intelligent tasks
Question 46. The word "fed" in paragraph 2 suggests that ________.
A. information has to be input into the computers
B. computers are given food to eat to do work
C. nourishing vitamins have to be provided to computers
D. information has to be obtained from computers and given to another source
Question 47. Robots save time for businessmen by ________.
A. training other workers B. being built in factories
C. doing the job of one person D. not being needed to be trained
Question 48. According to paragraph 3, employers can save on money by using robots as ________.
A. robots are not expensive B. robots need not be paid
C. robots cannot be trained D. robots can create more jobs
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction
