In Asia, the development of robots that look and act human is creating serious competition
among scientists, especially in Japan and Korea. Many in the field seem to have focused their
efforts on developing attractive female androids. Scientists at Osaka University in Japan, led by
Hiroshi Ishiguro, pioneered the development of the world’s first female android. Named the
Actroid and manufactured by the Kokoro Company, this robot was first unveiled at an
international robotics fair in Tokyo in November 2003. Since then, many improvements have
been made to the design, and the most advanced model, called the Actroid-DER2, was released in
October 2006. The letters “DER” are said to stand for “dramatic entertainment model” because the
Actroid was specifically designed to function as a hostess and entertainer at public events.
Actroids are life-size and look like young Japanese women. Their skin is composed of
silicone and looks very realistic. In early models, some upper body movement was possible while
mobility of their bottom halves was more limited. This improved in later models, which have
more realistic features and movements than the earlier prototypes. The robots have built-in
sensors which allow them to react to humans. They can fend off aggressive or intrusive actions,
like pokes or slaps, or react in a friendly manner by smiling. Actroids can mimic blinking,
breathing and speaking; maintain eye contact with a speaker; and also change their facial
expressions. They can be programmed to speak in any language and have conversed in a
rudimentary fashion in English and Japanese at various science fairs. The Kokoro Company
currently rents Actroids out to upmarket coffee shops and restaurants, or office complexes and
museums, to greet customers and visitors.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
When we think of the Hawaiian Islands, they often bring to mind a thriving tourist
destination with white sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. However, on one of the most
northern islands, you will not find any tourists or holiday activities. The island of Niihau is 180
km2in size with an extinct volcano, a delicate wetland and thriving forests. It is also the home to
various endangered species such as the Hawaiian monk seal. The island belongs to the Robinson
family who bought it from the King of Hawaii back in 1864 with the promise to maintain the
traditional Hawaiian culture and language of the natives living there. In order to keep this
promise, the family over time began to limit visitors to the island. Today, contact with the native
Niihauans on the island is forbidden except by invitation. Therefore, until recently, the natives
knew very little about the outside world.
A walk through the main village of the island shows how Niihau appears to be frozen in
time. There are no cars, shops, restaurants or police. The only means of transport are horses and
bicycles. There is no running water, power or telephone lines. All of the 130 permanent residents
are native Hawaiians and speak Hawaiian as their first language. They don’t pay rent and live by
fishing and farming. It’s a lifestyle far different from residents on the other Hawaiian islands.
The children of Niihau may not have TV or electronics like other children, but they do
attend a small school that relies entirely on solar power for electricity. The school is one of the
few schools in the USA that is completely solar powered. The school teaches the Hawaiian
traditions and values of living off the land and ocean, and at the same time offers the children the
opportunity to learn how to use computers and connect with the outside world.
One way outsiders can connect with Niihau is to purchase the islanders’ handicrafts such as
their shell jewelry. These products are on sale in other islands. Although few have the chance to
visit this forbidden land, its mystery continues to fascinate tourists.
