 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 a repetitive nature. But it is doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work - or indeed if people would want them to do. In the home, robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing up, but it is considered unlikely so far that they will be used to do the cooking - at least not in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, freeing people to do more of the things they want.

 Five years ago. Rachel graduated from college with a degree in History. Today she works for a large software company. At the age of twenty-seven, Rachel takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the new computer programs
 "I enjoyed college, but my job doesn't use information I learned when I was doing my degree." Rachel says. “This course is helping me to do my job better. In the future, I might go back to school and get an MBA."
 In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common. In the United States, people can return to school in their late twenties, thirties, or older to get a higher degree, such as a master’s or Ph.D’s degree. Like Rachel, many more are taking training courses to improve their work skills. With many classes now available through the Internet, it is easier for people to get degrees or training by distance learning.
 Miri, who is forty, teaches Japanese at a community college in New York said,
"Next semester. I'll be teaching some of my classes using the Internet. This is new for me," said Miri. "At the moment. I'm taking a course to learn how to teach in this way." At the same time. Miri's seventy-year-old mother and father are taking a distance learning course in Art History. "We love the subjects," said Miri’s father, "and now we can study with people from all over the world. I never thought learning could be this much fun!”
29. ......Rachel believes that her college studies prepared her well for her current 
 job.
30. ......Lifelong learning is becoming more popular today.
31. .......Miri is taking a course to learn how to teach her subject, using the
