At a Dalkomm Coffee shop
in Seoul, a robot takes orders from you through a
mobile app
or a touch screen and then
makes fresh coffee. Coffee is just one of the many
industries
that use automated
（自动化的）
services in this
technologically forward-thinking nation.
Others include restaurants, food
stores, banks and manufacturers. The development
comes
as many Koreans, especially the
young, are struggling to find work.
Just
this
week,
workers
who
operate
about
2,500
large
cranes
（吊车）
at
building
sites
went on strike. They were against the
growing use of robotic small cranes for building.
Other
labor
unions
also
have
opposed
the
use
of
automated
devices
instead
of
human
workers
at Emart, South Korea's biggest food
store group.
South
Korean
officials
also
changed
plans
to
completely
automate
the
nation's
road
fee
collection system. They
acted after receiving blame for cutting 6,700
jobs. Instead, the
system will be
partly automated and keep all its existing human
fee collectors.
South
Korea
had
the
highest
percentage
of
robots
to
human
workers
in
the
world
in
2017.
The International Federation of
Robotics says South Korea has 710 robots for every
10,000
3
manufacturing workers. The
international average is 85 robots per 10,000
employees.
South Korea's lowest
permitted worker wage has increased by 27.3% over
the last two
years. This has led more
businesses to cut labor costs by using automation,
says Suh Yong
Gu of the Business School
at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul.
Even
with
the
job
losses,
South
Korea's
businesses
are
replacing
employees
with
automation
and young people
are welcoming the change. Suh said,
—
those who were
born after 1980 --- are prime consumers. This
generation tends not to like
meeting
other
people,
so
they
favor
technology
that
enables
people
to
minimize
face-to-face
interactions.

C.

D.

9. What do we know
about the young generation in South Korea?
A.
They're less competitive
in modem world.
B.
They're
victims of modem high technology.
C.
They're unwilling to communicate face
to face.
D.
They're strongly
against the use of automation.
10. What
can we infer from the text?
A.
South Korea produced the most robots in
2017.
B.
Human fee
collectors are partly replaced by robots.
C.
Robots have taken the
place of humans in building.
D.
It's still controversial to make full

title for the text?
A.
Robots Made Their First Appearance in
Cafes
B.
Koreans Are Ready
for Challenges from Robots
C.
Automation: A Double-edged Sword in Job
Market
D.
South Korea: A
Leading Country in Technology
