[2015山東濟南第三次診斷] Robots that can chat,find misplaced glasses,draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.
Robots,such as the sound-sensitive Chapit,answer simple ques?tions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.
Japan has one of the world's fastest-ageing societies and the government pre?dicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 per cent. "Many ol?der people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to," said Kazuya Kitamura,representative of the expo organizer. "Communication robots accompany people and don't mind listening to the same stories over and over again." Matsumoto's " Personal Mobility Robot", equipped with four cameras and a sen?sor to recognize the user's centre of gravity,is designed to help the old move around without pressing buttons,using joysticks (操縱桿) or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sen-
sor.
Other robots,such as the award-winning "DiGRO" can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children. The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures,keeping children company while parents work.
While Chapit,a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner,many researchers,such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto,a professor at the University of To?kyo,struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.
"We have developed a robot that can assist many people,but we still haven't found a sponsor," said Matsumoto,who added that the cost of the machine,if massproduced,would be comparable to that of a car. "In the current economic environ?ment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project," he said.

You often find somebody who works around you com?plaining all the time,don't you?
28 About 70 %of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily,here are 4 tips to help form positive pat?terns.
1. Self-awareness When a negative thought pops into your mind,imme?diately correct it. Instead of telling yourself "That's a nice shirt,but I can't afford it," change the message to "That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it." 29
Of course,everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain,the better you will feel.
2. Distance yourself 30 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet,somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (閑境) .
3. Don't try to change complainers If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event,simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of some?thing else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 31 If someone says, "I hate Mondays,weekends are too short," try to think, "I'm glad I rested up over the weekend,so I'm ready to make some improve?ment on that big project.”
4. 32 When someone is shouting at you angrily,throw the responsibility back at them by asking, "So what do you in?tend to do about it?" In most cases* complainers don't re?ally want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions,they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so,you will be happy.
A. Find solutions
B. Change responsibility
C. You have got a lot of company.
D. By doing this,it will lead to positive behaviours.
E.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
F.Whenever possible,escape from negative conversa?tions.
G.You will never know what they are going to talk about.
