Read the passage and do the task below


The first signal was invented by a railway signing engineer. It was installed outside the
houses of Parliament in 1868. It looked like any railway signal of the time, and was operated by gas.
However, it exploded and killed a policeman, and the accident discouraged further development until
cars became common.
Modern traffic lights are an American invention. Red-green systems were installed in Cleveland
in 1914. Three color signals, operated by hand from a tower in the middle of the street, were installed
in New York in the 1918. The first lights of this type to appear in Britain were in London, on the
junction between St. James Street and Peccadillo, in 1925. Automatic signals were installed a year
later.
In the past, traffic lights were various .In New York, some lights had a statue on top. In Los
Angeles the lights did not just change silently, but would ring bells to wake the sleeping motorists of
the 1930s. These are gone and have been replaced by standard models which are university adopted.

A. Choose the statements are True (T) or False (F)


1. __ The first signal looked like any railway signal of the time
2. __ Gas exploded and killed a policeman.
3. __ Red-green systems were installed in New York in the 1918.
4.__Automatic signals were installed between St. James Street and Peccadillo

B. Answer the questions


1. When were automatic signals installed ?

2. Who invented the first signal?

3. Where and when were three color signals installed?

Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over
many of our tasks, especially jobs of repetitive nature. But it is doubtful if of work or indeed if people
would want them to. In the home robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table laying, scrubbing
and washing up, but its considered unlikely so far that theyll be used to do the cooking at least not in the
near future. Robot in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on.
They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things they wanted.
Answer the questions:
1. What kind of job would a robot take over?

2. What would people use robots in the home for?

3. Can robots do creative work? Why? Why not?

4. Do you like Robot in your house? Why? Why not?

Chua Mot Cot or the One Pillar Pagoda has become the symbol of Vietnamese rich culture and history. The
pagoda was built in the reign of king Ly Thai Tong (1028-1054).
.According to the legend the goddess Quan m appear to King L Thi Tng (1000 1054) in a dream. The
king was already old and still childless and sought a successor. In the dream Quan m handed him a son
while seated on a lotus flower. The king then took a farmer girl as concubine and had a son by her, who is the
long desired successor to the throne forecasted by the goddess. Deeply gratefully L Thi Tng built in the
year 1049 the Mt Ct Pagoda in honors of the goddess of mercy. As the name suggests the pagoda stands on
one pillar in the middle of an artificial square lake. In the season, the lake is covered by lotus flowers. The
pagoda itself is wooden and about 3 x 3 meters. Inside resides a statue of Quan m. In the course of its 1000
year history this pagoda was destroyed and rebuilt many times. The French occupation army last
destroyed it shortly before quitting Viet Nam. In 1955 it was again reconstructed, this time
unfortunately! with a concrete pillar instead of the original wooden pillar. Unfortunately? It could be seen as
the pragmatic Vietnamese attempt to connect the tradition with the modernity. Whether concrete or wood, the
Bodhisattva Quan m will continue to be admired here as child-bringing goddess. This delicate pagoda is
worth a visit anyway.
