Stress, sleeplessness, depression , heart disease, shortn ess of temper, memory loss, anxiety, marital

malaise. The cause of all our woes? An avalanche of surveys, polls and expert comme ntaries show that we
all work too long , too hard , that ou r bosses are beastly; that we are insecure and afraid . You know all th is stuff.
We seem to be workers on the verge of a nervous breakdown . So far, so bad . But there's plenty of good news
about work, too - even if it is not alwa ys shared with the sa me enthusiasm as the 'Work is Terrible' stories.
Four out of 10 UK workers declare themselves 'very satisfied ' with their jobs, more than in France, Germany,

economic independence work brings, then are made to feel gu1 ty a ou · ..
of us feel richer. We find a job we love and so work long hours at it, and then feel that we are falling to get our
'work/life' balance right.
Why is work under the microscope? Perhaps because our work simply occupies a more important place
in our lives than it did . Maybe we care , and worry , more about work for the same reason we care a nd worry so
much about our children or our health - because it is important to us. Men and (for the first time in centuries)
women are placing work closer to the centre of their lives. And maybe that's no bad thing . The 'leisure society'
would probably have been a boring place in any case.
Our work fixation springs from a series of profound changes in the nature of employment, all of which push
work more deeply into our individual lives, our families and our communities. Work has become a more
important element of our personal identity; we have greater control and choice over the shape of our working
lives ; women have entered and transformed the workplace ; the nine-to-five has become more sociable; more
of us want or need the financial independence that a wage offers; and the economic rewards of working have
increased - work pays .
Work has become a more important personal identity tag , supplanting the three traditional indicators of our
uniqueness - place, faith and blood . As geographical roots have weakened , religious affiliations have
diminished and the extended family has dispersed, how we spend our labouring hours has become a more
important window into our souls. This trend reflects and reinforces a desire for work which brings personal
fulfilment, for work we are proud of. If work means not just income but identity, then the choice of job becomes
critical. This is why tobacco companies find it so hard to hire people - to work for them would be to taint your
own identity.
But the new salience of work has come with a price; fewer people are able to feel secure; the need to keep
pace with change is tiring and stressful; white-collar workers are putting in longer hours to try and keep a
toehold - with potentially damaging consequences for the children ; and the deification of work threatens to
push those who are outside the paid workforce further towards the margins of society. This would not matter
so much if work did not matter so much . Not just in terms of income, but in terms of identity. When work
becomes more than simply a passport to a pay cheque , when it opens the door to friends , purpose, satisfaction
and a place in the world , its absence is more keenly felt. Once we admit the centrality of work to our lives, it
might be harder to kid ourselves that we are doing older employees a favour by 'letting them go'.
But we dare not admit work's importance to us. We like to moan about it, preferably with work colleagues
just after work . The love of your job is now the only one that dare not speak its name. The idea of work as
intrinsically bad has poisoned us for too long . The poet and mystic Kahlil Gibran said that work was "love
made visible" . Wouldn't it be great if we could capture a bit of that spirit, even if just for a wh ile?

Part 4: For questions 81-90, read the text and do the tasks that follow.
THE ROBOTS ARE COMING - OR ARE THEY?
What is the current state of play in Artificial Intelligence?
A. Can robots advance so far that they become the ultimate threat to our existence? Some scientists say no ,
and dismiss the very idea of Artificial Intelligence. The human brain , they argue, is the most complicated system
ever created , and any machine designed to reproduce human thought is bound to fail. Physicist Roger Penrose
of Oxford University and others believe that machines are physically incapable of human thought. Colin
McGinn of Rutgers University backs this up when he says that Artificial Intelligence 'is like sheep trying to do
complicated psychoanalysis. They just don 't have the conceptual equipment they need in their limited brains'.
8. Artificial Intelligence, or Al , is different from most technologies in that scientists still understand very little
about how intelligence works. Physicists have a good understanding of Newtonian mechanics and the quantum
theory of atoms and molecules, whereas the basic laws of intelligence remain a mystery. But a sizeable number
of mathematicians and computer scientists, who are specialists in the area , are optimistic about the
possibilities . To them it is only a matter of time before a thinking machine walks out of the laboratory. Over the
years, various problems have impeded all efforts to create robots. To attack these difficulties, researchers tried
to use the 'top-down approach', using a computer in an attempt to program all the essential rules onto a single
disc. By inserting this into a machine, it would then become self-aware and attain human-like intelligence.
C. In the 1950s and 1960s great progress was made, but the shortcomings of these prototype robots soon
became clear. They were huge and took hours to navigate across a room . Meanwhile, a fruit fly, with a bra in
containing only a fraction of the computing power, can effortlessly navigate in three dimensions. Our brains ,
like the fruit fly's , unconsciously recognise what we see by performing countless calcu lations . This unconscious
awareness of patterns is exactly what computers are missing . The second problem is robots ' lack of common
sense. Humans know that water is wet and that mothers are older than th eir daughters. But there is r.o
mathematics that can express these truths . Children learn th e intuitive laws of biology and phys ics by
interacting with the real world . Robots know only what has bee n programmed into th em .
D. Because of the limitation s of the top-down approach to Artificial Intelligence , attemp ts have been made to
use a 'bottom -up' approach instead - that is , to try to imita te evolution and the wa y a bab y learns. Rodn ey
Brooks was the director of MIT's Artificia l Intelligence la boratory , famous for its lum bering 'top-down' walking
Trang 7/ ll
 robots. He changed the course of research when he explored the unorthodox idea of tiny 'insectoid' robots th at
learned to walk by bumping into things instead of computing mathematically the precise position of th err foet.
Today many of the descendants of Brooks' insectoid robots are on Mars gathering data for NASA (The Nationa l
Aeronautics and Space Administration) , running across the dusty landscape of the planet. For all their
successes in mimicking the behaviour of insects, however, robots using neural networks have performed
miserably when their programmers have tried to duplicate in them the behaviour of higher organisms such as
mammals. MIT's Marvin Minsky summarises the problems of Al : 'The history of Al is sort of funny because the
first real accomplishments were beautiful things , like a machine that could do well in a maths cou rse . But then
we started to try to make mach ines that could answer questions about simple ch ildren 's stories. There's no
machine today that can do that. '
E. There are people who believe that eventually there will be a combination between the top-down and
bottom-up, wh ich may provide the key to Artificial Intelligence. As adults, we blend the two approaches. It has
been suggested that our emotions represent the quality that most distinguishes us as human, that it is
impossible for machines ever to have emotions. Computer experts Hans Moravec thinks that in the future
robots will be programmed with the emotions such as fear to protect themselves so that they can signal to
human when their batteries are running low, for example. Emotions are vital in decision-making . People who
have suffered a certain kind of brain injury lose the ability to experience emotions and become unable to make
decisions. Without emotions to guide them , they debate endlessly over their options. Moravec points out that
as robots become more intelligent and are able to make choices , they could likewise become paralysed with
indecision . To aid them , robots of the future might need to have emotions hardwired into the ir brains.
F. There is no universal consensus as to whether machines can be conscious , or even , in human terms, what
consciousness means. Minsky suggests the thinking process in our brain is not localised but spread out, with
different centres competing with one another at any given time. Consciousness may then be viewed as a
sequence of thoughts and images issuing from these different, smaller 'minds', each one competing for our
attention . Robots might eventually attain a 'silicon consciousness'. Robots, in fact, might one day embody an
architecture for thinking and processing information that is different from ours - but also indistingui shable. If
that happens, the question of whether they really 'understand' becomes largely irrelevant. A robot that has
perfect mastery of syntax, for all practical purposes, understands what is being said .

nomic importance of tourism has b d
countries over the past few een more a~ more significant. In most industrialised
segment Of th . . years the fastest growth has been seen in the area of services. One of the largest
s . e service industry, although largely unrecognised as an entity in some of these countries is
t rave I and tourism According t th w Id T . . '
. . · o e or ravel and Tourism Council (1992), 'travel and tourism is the largest
t
induS ry m th~ w~rld on virtually any economic measure including value-added capital investment, employment
nd
a tax contributions'. In 1992' the industry's gross output was estimated to be $3 .5 trillion , over 12 per cent
of all consumer spending . The travel and tourism industry is the world 's largest employer the almost 130 million
jobs, or almost 7 per cent of all employees. This industry is the world 's leading industrial contributor, producing
over 6 per cent of the world 's national product and accounting for capital investment in excess of $422 billion
m direct indirect and personal taxes each year. Thus, tourism has a profound impact both on the world
economy and , because of the educative effect of travel and the effects on employment, on society itself.

However, the major problems of the travel and tourism industry that have hidden, or obscured, its economic
impact are the diversity and fragmentation of the industry itself. The travel industry includes: hotels, motels
and other types of accommodation; restaurants and other food services; transportation services and facilities ;
amusements, attractions and other leisure facilities; gift shops and a large number of other enterprises. Since
many of these businesses also serve local residents, the impact of spending by visitors can easily be
overlooked or underestimated. In addition , Meis (1992) points out that the tourism industry involves concepts
that have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision makers. Moreover, in all nations this problem
has made it difficult for the industry to develop any type of reliable or credible tourism information base in order
to estimate the contribution it makes to regional, national and global economies. However, the nature of this
very diversity makes travel and tourism ideal vehicles for economic development in a wide variety of countries ,
regions or communities.
