As I was w
8、aiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water. As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we
9、will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica?

The whole dashboard (仪表板) is put into a car by a robot. It would have 3taken two men to do so in the past, and
14、 it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got me thinking: Is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They are not likely to make many mistakes. If something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. The
15、y do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. On the other hand, robots reduce costs for companies. Companies dont have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if theyre broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it wont have to take time off work for a y
16、ear, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding.
