sleeping is about all they really do, isn’t it?
Chutima : Well, it’s true that they eat a lot. They normally spend about 12 hours a
day eating. Bamboo is not very nutritious though, so they have to eat a lot
of it. And it doesn’t give them much energy so they sleep a lot too.
Ben : Oh, I thought they were just fat and lazy.
Chutima : We should see the chimpanzees while we’re here too. They’re hilarious.
They spend a lot of time playing and are really fun to watch.

ARTICLE READING
Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the
questions.

PASSAGE (5 ITEMS)
(1) Passenger planes could be flown without a pilot in the next decade according
to a new study.
(2) The research was conducted by investment bank UBS, which found that new
technology is being developed that would make remotely flying an aircraft feasible
in the near future.
(3) Pilotless planes could be a boon for airlines as it would save them £27 billion
and slash fares for passenger, who could see prices drop by over 10 per cent.
The report said: “The average percentage of total cost and average benefit that
could be passed onto passengers in price reduction for the US airline is 11 per
cent.” Saving on European flights would be less at an average of 4 per cent.
(4) The biggest saving will come from reducing the cost of employing pilots. UBS
estimated that pilots cost the industry £24 billion a year. The study predicts flights
will be safer as the potential for pilot error will be removed.
(5) Air passengers, however, seem nervous about travelling in a remote-controlled
plane. More than half of the 8,000 people surveyed by UBS (54 per cent) said
they would refuse to fly in a plane with no pilot, even if the flight cost less.
(6) Respondents between 18 and 34 and those who had a university degree were
more willing to fly without a pilot. The report said: “This bodes well for the
technology as the population ages.”

Enconcept 11

(7) UBS suggested that initially the traditional two pilot set-up will be reduced to
one on board pilot and one pilot on the ground. Commercial jets already use
computers for many functions including take-off, cruise and landing.
(8) However, not everyone is so convinced by these technological developments.
Steve Landells, BALPA flight safety specialist and former pilot, said: “We have
concerns that in the excitement of this futuristic idea, some may be forgetting the
reality of pilotless air travel. Computers can fail, and often do, and someone is still
going to be needed to work that computer. Most of us own some sort of electronic
device that can do amazing things — however, a human is still required to operate
it”

15. What would be the best headline for this article?

1. Cheaper Airfares for Pilotless Planes
2. Passengers Dissatisfied with Pilotless Planes
3. Billions of pounds Saved Using Pilotless Planes
4. UBS’s Research on Safety of Remote Controlled Aircraft
5. Remote Controlled Aircraft Coming But Not Everyone Approves

16. What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?

1. Passengers’ safety
2. The aviation industry
3. Aircraft manufacturers
4. Benefits of pilotless planes
5. The cost of employing pilots

1. Worried 2. Bored
3. Satisfied 4. Responsible
5. Indifferent

18. According to paragraph 6, what do the survey results indicate?

1. All air passengers are worried about safety.
2. The pilotless planes will continue to improve.
3. Different groups accept this technology equally.
4. Younger people are more accepting of this innovation.
5. Education background has nothing to do with technology acceptance.

19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of remote controlled

aircraft?
1. Improved safety
2. Price reduction for flyers
