10、r hometown, its obvious that such a backbone helps her step into the studio. At a young age of 14, Monica led a rock band. After the Robbery.

16、 call on the public to pay attention to Monicas music.DTo search for the best way for Monica to succeed Ageing and robots are more closely related than you might think. Young countries with many children have few robots. Ageing nations have lots. The countries with the largest number of robots per i

17、ndustrial worker include South Korea, Singapore, Germany and Japan. which have some of the oldest work forces in the world.The connection does not merely reflect the fact that young countries tend to be poor and cannot afford fancy machines, which they do not need anyway. It holds good within rich c

18、ountries, too. Those with relatively few robots compared with the size of their workforce include Britain and France, both of which （by rich-country standards ）are ageing slowly.Two recent studies quantify the connection. Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University show that, bet

19、ween 1993 and 2014, the countries that invested the most in robotics were those that were ageing the fastest measured as a rise in the rate of people over 56 compared with those aged 26-55. The authors posit a rule of thumb a ten-point rise in their ageing rate is associated with 0.9 extra robots pe

20、r thousand workers.A study from Germany used different measures but reached the same conclusion. They found that the growth in the number of robots per thousand workers rises twice as fast as the fall in the growth rate of the population （e.g. if） population growth falls by 1%, the growth in robot d

21、ensity rises by 2%）. Population growth is closely related to age structure.These findings should not be surprising. Robots typically substitute for labour. That is why many people fear that they will destroy jobs. Countries with plenty of young workers do not need labour substitutes. Wages there als

22、o tend to be low making automation unprofitable. But ageing creates demand for automation in two ways. First, to prevent output falling as more people retire, machines are necessary to substitute for those who have left the workforce or to enable ageing workers to continue to do physical labour. Sec

23、ond, once people have retired they create markets for new kinds of automation, including robots that help with the medical and other requirements of caring for people who can no longer look after themselves8What can we infer from the article?AAgeing is closely related to robotsBAgeing countries have

24、 few robots.CRobots are needed in young countries.DYoung and rich countries want more robots.9Which of the following best explains posit underlined in Paragraph 3?AWant. BRemove.CAssume. DObey.10How much will the robot population grow if the human population growth decreases by 3%?A1%. B2%.C3%. D6%.

25、11Why does ageing create demand for robots?ABecause retired people have lower wages.BBecause robots are substitutes for retired worker.CBecause robots are unprofitable in young countries.DBecause the retired need the same robots they used before. If we look around us at the things we have purchased

26、at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the

27、guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.Those underutilized（未充分使用的） items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property

28、, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy.These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick

29、 fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their childrens old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put

30、 some cash back into their pockets.Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as

31、profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods
