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

Many children and elderly people want a pet, but allergies or limited living spaces make it impossible. To solve this problem, technology companies have invented advanced robot pets. For example, a famous robot dog named Aibo looks and acts very much like a real puppy. It uses smart sensors and a small camera to recognize its owner's face. When you gently touch its head, the robot can actually feel your hand and wag its tail to show happiness.

Besides being entertaining toys, these machines are incredibly helpful in medical environments. Real animals are wonderful, but they can carry dirt or cause allergic reactions in clean hospitals. Because of this, doctors now use special therapeutic robots. The most famous example is PARO, a fluffy robot designed to look like a baby seal. When sick children or older patients hold PARO, it blinks its eyes and makes sweet sounds. Medical studies show that this gentle interaction quickly helps patients feel calm and reduces their daily stress.

Unlike real animals, robot pets like PARO have antibacterial fur, making them completely safe for strict hospital rules. Furthermore, they never need food, and owners do not have to walk them in heavy rain. However, some psychology experts still question whether a machine can truly replace a living creature. A robot does not have a real beating heart; it simply follows complex computer code. Despite this scientific debate, these modern inventions successfully bring comfort and joy to people who cannot keep real pets.

Why can Aibo be considered a real solution, not just a toy?

  • It gives owners a similar feeling to having a living pet.

  • It costs much less money than a real puppy does.

  • It does not need any care or attention from its owner.

  • It was designed only for use in research labs.

Why do doctors prefer robots like PARO over real animals in hospitals?

  • Robots can make nicer sounds than real animals
  • Real animals can bring dirt or germs into hospitals
  • Patients do not like touching real animals
  • Real animals cost more money to take care of

Why does the author mention the psychology experts' doubts in paragraph 3?

  • To show that robot pets do not really help patients
  • To say that hospitals should not use robot pets
  • To admit a problem but still show robots are helpful
  • To explain how robot pets are built with computer code

Which statement would the author most likely agree with?

  • Robot pets are helpful, but they cannot fully replace real pets
  • Robot pets can completely replace real pets
  • Robot pets are only useful for fun, not real help
  • Experts believe robot pets have no benefit at all

According to a recent study, most teenagers do not do housework just for pocket money. While many do household chores because they see it as a way of getting ready for adult life, others feel they have a to help their parents because it is fair, especially if their parents work. 

More than two-thirds of the young people that were surveyed clean floors at least once a week and more than 80% set the table for meals or the washing-up. Girls are more likely than boys to wash their own clothes. 

There are, however, a few teens who only do the housework because they are made to by their parents. They argue that they should not be expected to help out at home because in their view, their teenage years are a period which should be enjoyed rather than with household responsibilities.

Have you ever wondered exactly where the electricity that powers your television and lights comes from? While traditional power plants burn dirty fossil fuels, modern engineers have developed an amazing new source of renewable energy. Across Vietnam, massive groups of solar panels are currently being installed on the surfaces of large lakes and reservoirs. These innovative floating solar farms can generate huge amounts of clean electricity without taking up valuable land that local farmers need for growing daily food. The clever science behind this fascinating technology makes it efficient and practical. Because the water beneath the panels naturally cools the equipment, the complex electronic machinery works much better. At the same time, the wide solar panels provide protective shade for the lake below, which successfully stops the essential water from evaporating quickly during the hot summer months. Recently, several foreign countries have sent technical experts to study these impressive Vietnamese projects. By combining the bright power of the sun with cool water, this brilliant natural solution protects our delicate environment perfectly. As this wonderful technology continues to improve rapidly, floating solar farms will certainly play a major role in creating a cleaner energy future for our entire planet.
