Text I
Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. _________________________________________.

Text II
We know that doctors and other health-care workers are meticulous about washing their hands. What about their clothes? A recent New York Times article highlighted growing concerns in the US about the role that doctors’ garments play in the spread of bacteria. According to the newspaper, the discussion was repeated this year in the US when the British National Health Service imposed ‘bare below the elbows’ rule. It does not allow doctors to wear ties and long sleeves, both of which are known to accumulate germs as doctors move from patient to patient. The article reported a study from the New York Hospital Medical Centre of Queens that compared the ties of 40 doctors and medical students with those of 10 security guards. It found that about half the ties worn by medical personnel were a reservoir for germs, compared with just one in 10 of the ties taken from security guards.
When asked about the subject of doctors’ clothes and their possible role in the spread of infections, most local doctors, and some hospitals, declined to comment. Associate Professor Dale Fisher, the Chairman of infection control said that ties and other pieces of clothes are sometimes referred to as reservoirs for microorganism that may cause nosocomial infection (infection caught while staying in a hospital) but he added that the risk of infections from contaminated clothes needed to be put in perspective.
