Faced with a decreasing ppulatin and wrkfrce, Japan has been increasingly turning t rbts fr help. Over the years, the rbts have carried ut a large number f human tasks, including building prducts and prviding care fr the elderly.
Hwever, the rbts currently being used by cmpanies, like Walmart and Amazn, are nly able t perfrm single, repetitive tasks, such as packing bxes. Mdel-T, n the ther hand, has a wider range f mvement and is able t hld, pick and place bjects f several different shapes and sizes int different lcatins, making it ideal fr cnvenience and grcery stres, which sell a large variety f items.
Mdel-T rbts are perated frm a distant lcatin by human “pilts” wearing a virtual reality (VR)headset and special glves, which allw them t feel the prduct the rbt is hlding in their hands and guide it t the right shelf.
The VR-cntrlled rbts are ten times cheaper than autmated rbts, because they dn’t require advanced prgramming and are easier t develp and maintain. And their easy-t-use cntrls require little training. Tmhir Kan, a general manager in charge f develpment at FamilyMart, believes this will enable the chain t hire wrkers wh wuld typically nt wrk in stres.
Thugh Mdel-T appears t be getting rapidly thrugh the experiments, it is nt quite ready t enter the wrkfrce. Besides being a lt slwer than humans, it is als nly able t lift packaged items, and cannt get hld f things such as fruits and vegetables. The cmpany is wrking t imprve the weaknesses and hpes t intrduce a faster, mre skillful Mdel-T within the next tw years.

A. It wrks much faster than humans.
B. It can easily hld all kinds f bjects.
C. It can be perated frm a distance away.

A The lw price f Mdel-T.B. The easiness t perate Mdel-T.
C. The lw-level prgramming f Mdel-T.D. The strict training fr maintaining Mdel-T.
7. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Mdel-T is nw being massively prduced.
B. Japan’s wrkfrce will be reduced by Mdel-T.
C. The weaknesses f Mdel-T have been vercme.
D. Mdel-T may be used in wider fields in the future.

Peple frm East Asia tend t have mre difficulty than thse frm Eurpe in distinguishing facial expressins—and a new reprt published nline in Current Bilgy explains why.
Rachael Jack, University f Glasgw researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的)acrss a face as Westerners d, Easterners fix their attentin n the eyes.
“We shw that Easterners and Westerners lk at different face features t read facial expressins,” Jack said. “Westerners lk at the eyes and the muth in equal measure, but Easterners favr the eyes and ignre the muth.”
Accrding t Jack and her clleagues, the discvery. shws that human cmmunicatin f emtin is mre cmplex than previusly believed. As a result, facial expressins that had been cnsidered universally recgnizable cannt be used t express emtin in crss-cultural situatins.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recgnitin f facial expressins by recrding the eye mvements f 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian peple while they bserved pictures f expressive faces and put them int categries happy. sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, r neutral. They cmpared hw accurately participants read thse facial expressins using their particular eye mvement strategies.
It turned ut that Easterners fcused much greater attentin n the eyes and made significantly mre errrs than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye mvements that they shw is prbably a reflectin f cultural difference in facial expressins,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that Westerners use the whle face t cnvey emtin, while Easterners use the eyes mre and muth less.”
In shrt, the data shw that facial expressins are nt universal signals f human emtin. Frm here n, examining hw cultural factrs have varius these basic scial skills will help ur understanding f human emtin. Otherwise, when it cmes t cmmunicating emtins acrss cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lst in translatin.
8. What des the discvery shw abut Westerners?
A. They bserve the eyes and the muth in different ways.
B. They have mre difficulty in recgnizing facial expressins.
C. They pay equal attentin t the eyes and the muth.
D. They cnsider facial expressins universally reliable.
9. What were the peple asked t d in the study?
A. T bserve the researchers’ faces.B. T get their faces impressive.
C. T make a face at each ther.D. T classify sme face pictures.
10. In cmparisn with Westerners, what are Easterners likely t d?
A. They study the muth mre frequently.B. They examine the eyes mre attentively.
C. They read facial expressins mre crrectly.D. They d translatin mre successfully.
