Read the following passage about nanotechnology and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 10.

If nanotechnology sounds too far-fetched, looking at what geckos can do might be a good starting point. These lizards could quickly snatch the champion title in a climbing competition should there be one. Watching them climb upside down on a horizontal pane of glass, one can't help thinking that spiderman should really have been called geckoman. Without breaking a sweat, they can easily hang from a single toe, and they do so by pure adhesion, not by sticking a toe in a hole or by curling it around something they can grip. Scientists estimate that if all its toes touch the glass, it could take the weight of a 100kg person suspended below it, of course, under the condition that the rest of the body were strong enough. Although each toe is equipped with a tiny hook-like claw at the end, these are almost useless on the glass. The secret to geckos' superpower lies in the amazing structure of the skin of their toes.

(I) Over the past 15 years, scientists have been working tirelessly to try to unlock the secrets of the stickiness of gecko toes and come up with a way to artificially reproduce the same structure of nano-hairs. (II) This is one example of research in the field widely known as nanotechnology. In this field, the technology developed can be measured in a few nanometres (one nanometre is a millionth of a millimetre), meaning that how it works can only be visible when seen under a microscope. (III) It was the American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman who set the quest in motion at the beginning of the 1960s, but the "nano" catchphrase was coined in the 1990s by Dr. Eric Drexler, who spurred scientists on through a series of speeches and a book entitled "Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology".(IV)

According to nanoscientists, one application of nanotechnology that will make the biggest splash in the media will be the gloves and the boots that will allow rock-climbers to take their sport to previously-undreamed-of heights. But the technology could also be used in surgery to keep the edges of wounds together without the need of stitches. There will also be a huge potential in the manufacturing sector to stick millions of components together tighter than ever before without glues or screws.

Read the following passage about Robot teachers and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 35. 

Robot teachers

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
