Read the passage below carefully, then answer the questions that follow .
(1) Computers are machines that can help us in many ways. But they cannot think nor do things on their
own because humans have to feed them with information and tell them what to do with it. They cannot
come up with any new information. But they can save much time and work. For example, all the
information and the office files can be stored in a computer's "memory". If you need any information from
a particular file, the computer would only take seconds to find it. It would take you days or even weeks to
go through every file if no computers were used.
(2) The first computers were huge and costly. They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices. Later,
because of the usefulness and demand for computers in business, scientists soon found ways to produce
cheaper and smaller computers. They invented chips which made it possible to store more information in
less space.
(3) Today, computers are cheaper; _____________, they are more powerful. They can just be placed on
top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place to place easily. Computers are not
only used in offices by companies, but they are also used at home, by families who can afford them.
(4) Robots, on the other hand, are not mechanical people. They are computers which perform heavy
tasks; for instance, a robot can do the same work for twenty four hours, and yet, it does not complain or
get tired. In the United States robots are computers that tell them where to guard and what to do. These
robots are programmed to listen for certain noises and signals for help in case of trouble or danger.
