Saya, the life-like woman robots started her ...

Saya, the life-like woman robots started her work as a teacher at a primary school in Tokyo Japan days ago. She gave lessons to the pupils there. You won’t hurt it, hit it or play with it.

Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi of Tokyo University of Science, who built Saya, said she didn’t mean to take the place of human teachers with Saya, but to show the joys of technology. “We didn’t want to do all the work of a teacher, but to build this robot to teach children about technology. And Saya may be a help to the schools which have not enough teachers.”

“In some villages and small schools, there are children who know little about new technology and also there are some teachers that can’t teach these lessons,” Kobayashi said. “So we hope the robot can make the children become interested in new technology.”

Many of the children were very interested in Saya, and did not take their eyes off her when they were listening to the report. When class was over, some students touched her face and felt her.

Japan, home to almost 400,000 industrial robots of the world, hopes that they can make more and more robots in the future. And they hope to make some robots to look after the older people.

Recently in a class in Tokyo, a robot teacher called Saya called out the names of students, and smiled at them. Her funny face made the students laugh. However, the inventor says she is not going to take the place of human teachers.

Unlike other robots without feelings, Saya has six feelings—surprise, fear, dislike, anger, happiness and sadness. She can also say simple phrases such as “Thank you” and “Sorry”.

“Robots that look like humans have an important influence on children and older people,”

Hiroshi Kobayashi, Saya’s developer, said.

Saya was first invented as a receptionist (接待员) robot in 2004. Later, she was tested in a real Tokyo classroom with many fifth and sixth grade students. “Although she still can’t do much more than call out names and shout orders like ‘Be quiet’, the children had great fun,” Kobayashi says. “They were very happy when Saya called out their names.”

Ronald C. Arkin, a scientist, says people should do more study on the interaction (互动)

between humans and robots before people depend on robots too much.

Kobayashi says, “Saya is just meant to help people, and we should not hold too much hope for her ability. She has no thought and no ability to learn. She is just a tool.”

1.Saya is　　 .

A. a Japanese woman teacher　　 B. a Japanese girl

Yesterday, I met a delightful woman at a work event. As we talked, she talked about her childhood in Manila, Philippines. She spoke about the way her culture values their elders, and she explained that children are educated from the time of birth to honor and respect people older than themselves.

It was refreshing (使振作) to hear that, and I enjoyed listening and learning. Here is the memory she shared that I found, so beautiful:

When she was growing up, her father had three jobs to care for his family. She said her dad never complained, and though he worked very hard, he always had time for them. One day, her father was injured at his full-time job. For several months, he was mailed temporary (暂时的) disability checks(支票) while he recovered.

When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability checks that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the company. He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who really needed it.

The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had accompanied her father that very day when he went back to his company with all those unopened checks.

"My father is my hero," she remarked. Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an inspiration and influential mentor he was on how to live life. From my communication with her, it was very obvious that her father's same sweet spirit had been passed down to this woman, and to her family.

Hearing this story was so refreshing to my soul. I hope it is the same to you too.

3.The woman's father took the temporary disability checks back to his company because___________.

A.he felt he was looked down upon

B.he wasn't satisfied with the amount

C.he thought others needed them more than him

D.he felt sorry that he had hurt himself by accident
