Robots on Earth
Robots on Earth
by Jerry West

Explosions. Car chases. A man and woman, drenched in sweat, limping from a building as it crumbles to the ground, muster the last of their strength to rescue humanity from its inevitable extinction at the cold, metal hands of humanoid creatures with artificial intelligence gone awry. For decades, books and movies have dictated how we think of robots. Simply the word "robot" can bring to mind images of evil, mechanical creatures bent on taking over the world and wiping out every glimmer of humanity. And yet, the truth of machines is dramatically different. Today's robots hold little in common with their villainous cousins from action-packed science fiction. Most robots have no interest in harming the human population at all; they exist to aid people in making life safer, healthier, and more productive.

For example, jobs such as welding and painting are important to civilization as we know it, but experience has taught us that these activities can be hazardous to human health. In addition, fumes in automobile and airplane factories can harm organic bodies that become exposed to their toxins in the assembly process. Even when the best precautions are taken, workers may still suffer from lack of adequate ventilation. What is the answer to these difficult dilemmas? Robots. Because machines don't rely on clean air or comfortable temperatures, because they can function even in the midst of deadly gasses, they can take over with ease where humans would suffer greatly. Working together, humans and robots can get the job done.

A robot's job isn't limited to the terrestrial level, either. Even in space, machines such as the R2 humanoid robot at the International Space Station complete dangerous tasks for astronauts, protecting them from potentially deadly situations. And then, when there are mundane but essential tasks to conduct on the space station, R2 takes care of those, as well, freeing up the astronauts' time for more important responsibilities. Thus, in space and on Earth, robots manage to create healthier, happier humans.

In fact, there are robots on Earth that exist specifically to boost human health. Just as contact lenses enhance human sight, robotics can increase human mobility. People with disabilities and various forms of paralysis now have hope that they can achieve better range of motion, when before this wasn't possible. With the help of robots, scientists are working to create an exoskeleton that will attach itself to the outside of the human body, establishing a connection to the human brain. Neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis has a dream. "We are working with the Brazilian government, who is helping fund the project. At the 2014 soccer World Cup celebrations we hope to have a Brazilian teenager with quadriplegia walk out and make the opening kick."

Explosions and car crashes may sell tickets for the summer blockbuster, but robots have so much more to offer, and much of it is positive service to humans. At the heart of the field of robotics is not the creation of people-destroying machines with evil artificial intelligence, but something much more useful. Robots aren't our enemies; instead, they are the valuable result of scientific endeavors to create safer lives for people everywhere.

Which claim from Selection 1 has insufficient evidence?


A)Major crimes usually occur at night.


B)Some cities offer flexibility in curfews.


C)Teen curfews can work if they are enforced.


D)Minor crimes can use up valuable resources


(the paragrapg)



1 Crime is a continuing problem in our society, and to combat it, we must engage in a variety of tactics to give the courts and law enforcement the tools they need to keep us all safe. One valuable tool is a teen curfew, a simple law that restricts when youths under 18 years old can be outside of the home.

2 The benefit of curfews is twofold—they reduce the number of people on the streets who might cause trouble, and they keep youths safe. Even good kids might be tempted to get in minor trouble late at night. Small violations can take up large amounts of police time—time that is better spent dealing with more serious issues. A curfew just takes away the opportunity for kids to get in trouble by keeping them at home.

3 While some teens may be irritated by such restrictions, curfews actually keep youths safe. An old saying goes, “Nothing good happens after midnight.” For young people, this is particularly true. Serious crimes often happen at night, and curfews can keep kids from becoming victims.

4 Many cities set curfews for 11 p.m. during the week. There is simply no need for teens to be out of the house after that. At that hour, students should be done with part-time jobs, sports events, or other activities. Some cities allow teens to stay out until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. However, most believers in curfews would argue that an earlier deadline would be much more effective.

5 Of course, children can always be out with their parents or guardians. The purpose of the curfew is to make sure teens are under some sort of adult supervision. This can take place at home or away from home, as long as adults are present. Curfews have been proven to work. A 1997 United States Conference of Mayors survey of 347 cities found that curfews improved safety in 88 percent of the cities that enforced them.

6 A teen curfew is not going to immediately end all crime, but it will help. In conjunction with other techniques, such as graffiti cleanup, educational and recreational opportunities for youths, and police intervention in high-crime areas, a teen curfew can help keep us all safer.

HELP!!! *ASAP* Read the paragraphs.

The concerns about sending people to Mars are definitely worth considering. For one thing, the mission will cost billions of dollars. This would be a huge additional cost at a time when national debts continue to skyrocket. Also, that money could help fix problems here on Earth.

Mars may have valuable resources. The Earth’s resources are already starting to dwindle, and our population continues to grow. Finding resources on Mars could provide much-needed relief for the overstressed ecosystems of Earth.

Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like: What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph. Your response should be at least 150 words in total.
