Patients will be implanted with sensors to detect disease,
toilets will analyse urine samples and diabetics will never have to
worry about their condition again — in the next century. Scientists
believe that health care is set to undergo more sweeping changes
in the next two decades than have occurred in the last 2,000
years. In future, pig farms could be sited right next to hospitals,
so that organs can be freshly harvested and transplanted more
quickly. Some of the advances that scientists predict will be made
include:
• In-patients will be implanted with sensors when they are
admitted to hospital that will automatically do more than
40 laboratory tests.
• Electronic noses will detect and differentiate the odours of
growing bacteria and instantly identify the bacteria causing
ear, nose and throat infections.
• Surgery will become less common as new types of treatment,
particularly vaccines and gene therapy, take over from the
scalpel .
• A biochip photo sensor will be implanted in the eye as an
artificial retina for patients who are going blind.
*scalpel: a small sharp light knife used by doctors performing operations.

Yokohama, Japan – While some of the newest humanoid
robots may be cute and draw attention, Japan’s robot industry
has a serious side that was on display at Robodex 2003 there.
2
A number of companies and universities have been
working on robot technology thatis designed to either save lives
or make life easier.
3
There is a robot designed to dig the ground and explode
mines. It can do it with no electricity, so it can be taken to very
remote places, such as the inside of Afghanistan.
4
A humanoid robot, the prototype HRP-2, developed as
part of a Japanese public-private partnership, demonstrated its
ability to sit in a hoeing machine and operate it. The robot is also designed to work in places considered dangerous for
humans.
5
Still in the experimental stage, wearable robots are
intended to be implemented as items of clothing with built-in
robotic technology to enhance the strength of the wearer. For
example, the enhanced clothing could enable a single nurse to
lift patients out of bed and place them in wheelchairs using a
prototype suit, as demonstrated at Robodex.
hoe: (N.) a long-handled tool with a blade used for loosening the soil.

Based on the text above, it can be inferred that
12 new robot models are designed to perform different tasks.
13 robots will be unable to walk long distances to do their jobs,
since they will make no use of electricity.
14 the prototype HRP-2 can be used as a help in digging tasks.
15 explosion of mines in inner Afghanistan could be done by
robots.
wearable robots reduce the wearer’s strength.

Homeschooling is a global revolution, not merely an
American social movement. Like the Industrial Revolution,
homeschooling has helped bring about a permanent change in the history of mankind, not just an ideology that gains
and wanes in popularity. It is a practical outworking of the computer age. One catalyst for the explosion of home education internationally has been the Internet. Computers
have enabled those in isolated parts of the world to learn
new languages, study other governments and learn human physiology so that they can heal themselves without a
doctor.
2
Homeschooling enlarges the doorway to education. It has broken down the walls of centralized institutional
access to the world’s best information. It started as a new
concept of education, one that could be custom-tailored to each child and would protect children from increasing
cultural dangers. Alarmed by moral decay in their own
public school systems, parents in many countries are desperate for hope, more information, and the opportunity
to train their own children.
3
During the last decade-and-a-half, homeschooling has been recognized as “legal” in every state in America. Each
state varies, however, as to the manner in which it restricts
the right of parents to teach their children at home.
*to wane: to decrease
*custom-tailored: made or adapted to specific needs

In relation to the text above, it can be concluded that
17 a “catalyst” (l.6) is a person or thing that speeds up a change.
18 the computer age favored homeschooling.
19 not every state in America has recognized homeschooling as
“legal”.
20 schools will disappear.
Judge whether the following sentences are grammatically correct.
21 Homeschooling have given poor children access to
education.
22 Homeschooling is a new concept, is there?
23 If homeschooling existed, there would have been more

The World Water Gap
1
The water equation is simple but deadly: some 20
percent more water is needed than is available today to feed the
additional 3 billion people who will be alive by 2025, warns the
World Commission on Water for the 21 Century. Such
st
statement marks the first time that a major effort is being made
to link global water scarcity with food security — the ability of
a country to feed itself. “Even if we do everything we can to
make irrigated agriculture more water efficient, humanity will
still need at least 17 percent more fresh water to meet all its
food needs than is currently available… the world water gap”,
said the Chairman of the Water Commission.
2
The Commission warns: “We are facing a world water
gap right now, this minute, and the crisis will only get worse.
The consequences of failing to bridge the world water gap will
be higher food prices and expensive food imports for water
scarce countries that are predominantly poor. Already, 800
million people are going hungry because they cannot afford to
buy food”.
3
We already face severe water-related problems, such as:
• 1.4 billion people live without clean drinking water;
• 2.3 billion people lack adequate sanitation;
• 7 million die yearly from diseases linked to water;
• half the world’s rivers and lakes are seriously polluted.
• currently, nearly 450 million people in 29 countries face
water shortage problems, a figure that is projected to jump
to nearly 2.5 billion people by 2050.
4
The Commission adds that “water scarcity, not shortage of
land, will be the main constraint to increase agricultural
production in developing countries in the coming years”.

problem you must also be part of the solution.

water than is currently available will be needed in
