Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
Ever since it was first possible to make a real robot, people have been for the invention of the machine that would do all the necessary jobs around the house. If boring and repetitive factory work could be managed by robots, why not boring and repetitive household chores, too?
For a long time, the only people who really gave the problem their attention amateur inventors. And they came up against a major difficulty. That is, housework is actually very complex. It has never been one job, it has always been many. A factory robot one task endlessly until it is reprogrammed to do something else. It doesn’t run the whole factory. A housework robot, on the other hand, has to do several different types of cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to cope all the different shapes and positions of rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats, and dogs. However, there have been some developments recently. Sensors are available to help the robot locate objects and obstacles. We have the technology to produce the hardware. All that is missing - the software - the programs that will operate the machine. In the future, robots help with even more household tasks, making life easier for everyone.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Almost anyone who grew up recently has spent hours building out of colourful plastic bricks. However, in the early twentieth century, most children played with very basic toys. Usually carved from wood, these items offered limited creative possibilities. A child could stack wooden blocks to make a simple house, but the structures easily fell apart during play.
The toy industry transformed in the late 1940s when a European company experimented with new materials. They designed plastic bricks featuring small bumps on top and hollow tubes underneath, allowing them to lock firmly together. At first, many parents were not impressed. They believed that high-quality toys should only be made of wood, viewing plastic as a cheap alternative. Fortunately, children felt differently. Building tall towers that actually stayed together immediately sparked their imaginations, and the new plastic bricks quickly took off.
Over the decades, these interlocking bricks evolved. By the late 1990s, however, the company faced a serious financial crisis. Modern children were spending more free time playing video games. Simply selling boxes of basic shapes was no longer enough to attract their attention.
To save the business, developers created specific construction sets based on popular movies, space exploration, and historical events. Developing these themed kits transformed the product from a basic educational tool into a massive global brand. Today, what began as a humble wooden block has grown into a worldwide entertainment empire, proving that a toy doesn't need a screen to capture a child’s attention.
According to paragraph 1, what was the main problem with early wooden blocks?
- They restricted the kinds of things that children were able to build.
- They broke into pieces easily if children played roughly with them.
- They were too heavy for younger children to play with safely.
According to paragraph 2, how did parents initially react to the plastic bricks?
They felt the toys were poorly designed for kids.
They thought the hollow tubes were too basic.
They preferred the high quality of wooden toys.
The phrase "took off" in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.
fell apart
flew away
became popular
Why did the toy company start creating themed construction sets in the late 1990s?
To encourage teenagers to learn more about historical events

To explain how a simple idea survived challenges to become a global business
To persuade readers that traditional wooden toys are better than modern ones
To describe the complicated manufacturing process of plastic toy bricks
