Foreshadowing is often used in a story, when the author gives a clue as to what is to come later in the story. Let’s read the part of the sci-fi story to find how the author uses foreshadowing.
Read the passage (P47) and answer the questions.
1 What happened to the prison and what was the cause
2 What kind of job do you think Carolyn has
3 Are there any sentences that might foreshadow what
will happen next Underline them.

1 What happened to the prison and what was the cause
There was a prison breakout, caused by faulty robotics.

Another prison breakout: faulty robotics blamed.
…“Julius was telling me about it. That place isn’t as advanced as ours.
It was not until an hour later that he noticed that Carolyn had left her emergency call device on the breakfast table.
But the report says that even new, regularly-maintained robots can break down,” Todd protested. “And in a maximum-security prison like yours, one small error could cause a lot of problems.”

Carolyn looked out of the reinforced glass of her office window into the prison below. She was shocked that the robots were out of control. Most had stopped moving at all. Some circled aimlessly around and around. She could see prisoners rushing out to freedom. Carolyn’s husband Todd came to send the emergency call device to her. She called the police for help immediately. With the help of the police, the robots were under control.

Carolyn had a long commute (通勤) to the prison, even by aircar. When she arrived, everything seemed normal, except for a robot lying at the front gate, motionless (静止的). It’s an old model, she thought. They broke down now and again. She passed through the gate, noting that everything else was apparently in order.
Reference Text
But just as she closed her office door behind her, a loud alarm sounded. Carolyn’s blood froze (吓得毛骨悚然). She had only ever heard that sound during drills. It can’t be! She thought. A general systems failure! She looked out of the reinforced glass of her office window into the prison below. Sure enough, the robots were out of control. Most had stopped moving at all. Some spun (转圈) aimlessly around and around. But others were randomly operating things, including the cell gates, and she could see prisoners rushing out to freedom. “Grab the robots’ weapons and run!” shouted the prisoners.
Reference Text
Carolyn opened her bag and reached for her emergency call device. Her heart sank as she realised she had left it at home. I need to call in the police, she thought. But how Without the device, she couldn’t communicate. Nothing in the prison would work properly now.
There was a voice behind her. “Looking for one of these ”
Carolyn gasped (喘气). “Julius!” There was her second-in-command, holding an emergency caller in his hand. “What are you doing in my office ”
Reference Text
“It should be my office!” snarled (咆哮) Julius. “I’ve worked here for forty years ... and the City Commissioners (长官) gave you the job as prison governor! But now you’ll pay (付出代价). You’ll all pay! I can make every robot in every prison in the city go crazy. The prisoners will escape, and the city will burn!”
Then the door burst open, and the room was suddenly flooded with riot police (防暴警察). And there was ... Todd!
Reference Text
“I took the aircar over here to bring you this,” he said quietly, winking (眨眼) as he pushed the emergency call device secretly into her hands. “I could see there was trouble, so I activated it to call in the police.”
“It was Julius,” said Carolyn, watching the police bundle (带走) Julius out of the door. “He’s gone mad.”
“Sure,” said Todd. “But now we know how easy it is to cause a mass robot breakdown. You’ll have to write a report. Make some recommendations to upgrade the robots.”
“I know.” Carolyn slid from Todd’s hug and walked towards the door. She could see the police rounding up the prisoners. “But right now, I’ve got a prison to run.”
