Model Test 15

　　Not long ago, the only time you"d see a robot is if you were reading a comic book or 1 a science fiction film just as Star Wars. Today , 2 , science fiction is fast becoming science 3 . Robots are starting to make their presence 4 in our everyday lives.

　　These robots come 5 all sizes, shapes and colors. Some lo ok like giant insects, and 6 look like humans. Some work in factories, 7 others are homebodies. Some cost several hundred thousand dollars; others can be 8 for as little a s .

　　These robots all have the same 9 of "brain" - microcomputers. Yet they not only "think", but also sense, 10 to, and alter their surroundings. Because they 11 more directly with the world around them, robots are 12 to change our lives even more dramatically.

　　Leading the robot evolution 13 industrial robots working in the factories. They can perform a 14 of jobs, boring or dangerous. Robots are so 15 at these jobs that they may be 16 100,000 and 200,000 of them 17 at work by 1990 in the United States alone. 18 that time, it is predicted that assembly line work 19 by human beings will have been cut 20 half.
