Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The “head chef”, named Andrew, is using his two long arms; he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.

CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70% of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.”

This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumer demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain’s app return more frequently than those who don’t, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has boosted sales at busy stores during peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.

Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging it or finding an Airbnb to book unique homes.

1.Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?

A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.

C.To voice his opinion. D.To show the background.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.

B.Automation may increase business costs.

C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.

D.Many companies may fail to survive.

3.What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?

A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.

B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.

C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.

D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of automation?

A.Critical. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
