Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of

the questions from 34 to 40.

Since the development of the Internet, humans have slowly moved the world of work more inside. In the past, many
people used to work outdoors and in factories. Nowadays, lots of people work in schools, shops and offices. The big question
is "What will the world of work look like in the future?"

To begin with, there will probably be floating offices as there will be less room for new buildings on land. Secondly,
more people will definitely work from home. For example, people will work online, so this will result in more job
opportunities for those who want to live in their own country and work abroad. For those that work in offices, the journey to
work will be different. There will be fewer cars on the road and more fast means of public transportation. Self-driving
vehicles will be electric, so there will be less air pollution from fossil fuels.

Robots will play a bigger role than they have done so far. Already, we have robots in factories. However, in the
future, many traditional jobs may disappear. For instance, postmen will not have to deliver large packages as drones will fly
them to their destinations. However, the good news is that there will be new jobs, such as drone technicians and skybridge
engineers.

For those who keep their jobs, the future might look bright. These changes will mean more free time. Perhaps in the
future, there will be a 4-day or even a 3-day working week for the same salary levels. In the far future, there may come a time
when we don't have to work at all. If so, what will we do then?
