VIII. Read this passage carefully, then choose the
correct answers.
Technology will allow homes in the future to be "smart." Appliances will
communicate with each other
-
and with you. Your stove, for example, will tell you
when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes based
on food items you already have.
Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future. 92 Robots
already do many things such as building cars and vacuuming floors. But scientists
today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robo
ts that will be able to show
feelings with their faces, just like humans. These robots will do work around the
house such as cooking and cleaning. They will even take care of children and the
elderly.
How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a g
ood chance it will
be a part of your life in 25 or 30 years, perhaps sooner.
