Do you remember when technology was (0) C.
supposed to bring about big changes ill the workplace,
improve the working environment and increase
leisure time? Well, you’ll also recall that it failed to bring about
such desired (16) ______________, for most of
US at least. In fact, many of these technological advancements
led to various health (17) ______________,
like eyestrain and back problems. And the extra leisure time all the
experts promised US never became a reality.
Luckily, there does appear to be some good
news. Some employers have become enlightened enough to (18)
______________ that happy, relaxed employees
are more (19) ______________ and friendly than those who are
burnt-out and undervalued. Therefore, many
businesses are attempting to (.20) ______________ their work
environments in a way that promotes a
positive, calm workplace. The principles of the ancient Chinese art of
"Feng Shui" are being applied to
(21) ______________ harmonious environments in many workplaces. For
instance, as a calming influence, an aquarium
of fish can be placed in any workspace or chunks of amethyst can
be placed next to workers’ computers to help
neutralise (22) ______________ radiation and relieve stress.
Next, the furniture and office fixtures in the
workspace affect the people who work in it. When employees
are comfortable and are provided with quality
equipment, they feel better and take greater pride in their work. It
is (23) _______________ for people to feel as
though they are an integral and valued part of the company.
To sum up, when people are treated as
individuals and not merely as dispensable pieces of equipment, they
are more (24) _____________ to give their best. Offering employees (25) ______________ in the shape of
bonuses, regular pay increases, holidays, etc.
can serve as all excellent ways to increase productivity. So go on,
give it a try and see how your work

2. usually well-off, single professionals who,
in their thirty, find that work is not everything
3. and so decide to have a baby. They don’t

OUR CHANGING WORLD
So many new technologies /wave appeared in the
past half-century that it’s impossible to list them all. But these
eight high-tech breakthroughs stand out over
the last 50 years because they’ve revolutionised the way we live.
Paragraph A
In 1954, Dr Joseph Murray removed a kidney
from one human patient and implanted it in another. The recipient
accepted the kidney as its own rather than
rejecting it as a foreign body. It was more than skillful surgery: Murray
had chosen a pair of identical twins, Ronald
Herrick and his terminally ill brother Richard, in the hope that their
similar genetic makeup would reduce the
likelihood of Richard’s body rejecting Ronald’s kidney. Soon afterward,
though, other researchers developed drugs that
could suppress a transplant recipient’s immune system long enough
for the new organ to become incorporated into
its new body. Each year, thousands of people receive a new heart,
kidney, liver, lung, pancreas or intestine -
and are given a new lease of life.
Paragraph B
The term ‘robot’ was coined by Czechoslovakian
playwright. Karel Capek, in 1920 - ‘robota’ being a Czech word
for tedious labour - but the first real
industrial robot was built in 1954 by George Devol. Five years later, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology founded
its Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in a quest to mechanically
mimic human minds as well as hands. Today,
robots assemble products better, faster and often cheaper than
Trung tâm Anh Ngữ Nhung Phạm

manual labourers. Still, some individuals eye
such systems with the cynical view of novelist Kurt Vonnegut,
whose 1952 story Player Piano warned that the
machines might leave people without a way to make a living or a
purpose in life.
Paragraph C
When the Queen herself threw the switch on the
world’s first atomic power plant at Calder Hall outside London
in 1956, nuclear reactors were seen as a
source of cheap, pollution-free energy. But a partial meltdown in 1979 at
the Three Mile Island reactor in Pennsylvania
soured the world on nuclear energy as a safe source of power.
Nonetheless, in Britain today there are 16
active plants that generate 25 percent of the nation’s electricity and they
have been steadily increasing their
capability. Will the next 50 years bring a better alternative?
Paragraph D
The idea for a mobile phone service dates back
at least to 1947, but the first call was not actually made until 1973.
This initial call was made on the pavement
outside the Manhattan Hilton by Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher,
who rang up his rival at AT&T Bell Labs to
test the new phone. Thirty years later, it appears that almost everyone
in the Western world has a mobile device
growing out of their ear and cellular networks are beginning to serve
Internet access at broadband speeds through
thin air.
Paragraph E
Viewers of the famed moon walk in 1969, who
are now decreased, would have been disappointed to learn we
never went further than the Moon - no Mars
colony, no 2001 odyssey to Jupiter, no speed-of-light spaceships.
Even the Shuttle is in trouble. But the Space
race against the Russians that dominated the American psyche (and
a good chunk of its budget) in the ‘60s and
‘70s pushed the development of hundreds of enabling technologies,
including synthetic fibres and integrated
computer circuits, necessary to fly astronauts to the moon and back. And,
far more importantly, the astronauts brought
back a lesson from space: ‘We saw the earth the size of a coin, and
we realised then that there is only one
earth.’
Paragraph F
Before IBM recast the desktop computer from
hobbyist’s gadget to office automation tool in 1983 - followed by
Apple’s people-friendly Macintosh a year later
- a ‘minicomputer’ was the size of a washing machine and required
a special air-conditioned room. But the
trained technicians who operated the old mainframes already knew
computers were cool: they could use diem to
play games, keep diaries, and trade messages with friends across the
Country, while still looking busy. Today,
thanks to the PC, we all look busy.
Paragraph G
Everyone knows Watson and Crick, who
unravelled the secret of DNA in 1953. But have you heard of Boyer and
Cohen, who constructed the first organism with
combined DNA from different species in 1973? They inserted
toad genes into a bacterium that then
replicated itself over and over, passing the toad’s genetic code down through
generations of bacteria. Thirty years later, an estimated 70 percent of processed foods contain genetically modified
ingredients, such as soybeans or corn
engineered for higher crop yields. Of course, the much bigger potential -
good and had - is in engineering humans. It
might prevent birth defects, and diseases later in life. But the side
effects could he disastrous and, do we really
have the right to interfere with Mother Nature?
