deadly tsunami waves were already on their way. there had been an earthquake not far away earlier that morning. the beach was getting smaller and smaller. tillys parents felt strange but they didnt know what was happening. then tilly said shed just studied this at school. she told her parents that a tsunami was coming. in the end she screamed at everyone to get off the beach. tillys parents even

revolution”. on the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.one of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. a few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. the computers help them keep more correct records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how many animals to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. there can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot. scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. even complex jobs will be done by robots. for example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. in the future, this will all be done by robots. the complete

computers on todays farms.70. according to the engineers, will be done by robots in the near future.a. all farm work b. simple farm workc. only milking cows d. most of the farm work71. by writing the
