We39。re doomed! Doomed! Now that I39。ve gotten that out of my system, it39。s bee clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the government39。s new guidelines for selfdriving cars. Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, selfdriving cars will play a big part in urban settings. Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobilerelated accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually. Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds? But there39。s a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots aren39。t just taking over in the workplace. The question is, where can39。t a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every bination of notes in record time and e up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammywinning song cowritten by Hank Human and R3071 in our future? Finally, it39。s only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and e up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors. Actually, it39。s too bad such technology isn39。t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide. (1)What does the underlined word “agitated” mean?

Its new analysis of products on supermarket shelves found that “onceopened” instructions were often contradictory and often failed to make clear whether they were a guide to food safety or quality. Only 45% of 5,000 WI members surveyed understood that bestbefore dates were a sign of food quality, while 26% did not understand that the more important useby dates were a decisive guide to food safety. In its report on food waste, the WI said supermarkets were “potentially contributing to home food waste by leading customers to buy more food than they need, and giving conflicting and confusing onpack information that leaves customers unsure about how long a product remains safe to eat in the home setting”. The 42page report is part of the WI39。s ongoing campaign to reduce food waste. To underline the point about conflicting information, it cites(引用) a can of Sainsbury39。s ownbrand sweetcorn advising consumers to e
