Ever since it was first possible to make a real robot, people have been 21.1 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, 21.2?

For a long time, the only people who really gave the problem their 21.3 were 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 21.4 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 21.5 all the different shapes and positions of rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats, and dogs. 21.6, there have been some developments recently. Sensors are 21.7 to help the robot locate objects and avoid obstacles. We have the technology to produce the hardware. All that is missing - the software - the programs that will operate the machine.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety. New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half-century.

As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle-class women.

In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ...connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations."

The main idea of this passage is _____.

that the new American literature was less provincial than the old
that World War I caused a dramatic change in America
that centers of culture shifted from East to West
that most people were wary of the new literature

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE HAPPY

According to experts, the way you spend your free time is vital to your general happiness, and getting the right balance is very important.

Most people also gain 30.3 (SATISFY) from doing something creative, such as painting, cooking or gardening.
