It’s easy to see why these “steel-collar workers” can be preferable to their human counterparts. They cause fewer personnel problems: they're never absent, and they never ask for more holidays, take vacations, or file grievances. They also give more consistent attention to quality control, are more efficient and effective performers, and are definitely cheaper to keep. Robots, which cost about $30,000 to $150,000 each, usually work two shifts a gay. The displaced workers would draw salaries and benefits of about $790,000 a year. However, robots still cannot replace all facets of the human worker. The automated factory is feasible, but when it comes to reason and informed decisions, robots are still in the same league with machines, at least for now.

　　5. The details given in the underlined sentences in Paragraph 2 __________.

　　A. illustrate the technical superiority of Japanese technology over American technology

　　B. warn against the possibility that robot workers will replace human workers

　　C. show the growth in acceptance of robot workers worldwide

　　D. prove the need to catch up with Japanese technology

　　6. In Line 3 Paragraph 1, the word “deftly” means ___________.

　　A. clumsily

　　B. expensively

　　C. lightly

　　D. skillfully

　　7. In this passage, the author shows preference in favor of ________.
