Question

【題目】閱讀短文，回答問題。

Do you ever feel no one really understands you? Well, “Pepper”, a robot could change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human’s feelings. Using its emotional recognition functions, Pepper can react to people when it is close to them——making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.

The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a table computer set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.

Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at home or in the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.

Pepper gets power from love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, making them laugh, but also it helps people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.

Pepper was on sale in Japan for around $2,000 in February 2018. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to store more knowledge, so it can get along better with humans.
