 Disney World,Florida,is the biggest amusement resort in the world. It covers

24. 4 thou?sand acres,size of Manhattan. It was opened on October 1 ,1971,five years after Walt Disney's death,and it is a larger,slightly more ambitious version of Disneyland near Los An?geles. Foreigners tend to associate Walt Disney with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,and with his other famous cartoon characters,Mickey Mouse,Donald Duck and Pluto,or with his nature films,whose superb photography is spoiled,in the opinion of some,by the vulgarity (粗俗) of the commentary and musical background.

There is very little that could be called vulgar in Disney World. It attracts people of most taste and most income groups,and people of all ages,from toddlers to grandpas. There are two expensive hotels,a golf course,and forest trails for horseback riding and rivers for canoeing. But the central attraction of the resort is the Magic Kingdom.

Between the huge parking lots and the Magic Kingdom lies a broad artificial lake. In the distance rise the towers of Cinderella's Castle,which like every other building in the Kingdom is built of solid materials. Even getting to the Magic Kingdom is quite an adventure. You have a choice of transportation. You can either cross the lake on a replica (仿制品) of a Mississippi pad?dle wheeler,or you can glide around the shore in a streamlined (流线型的) monorail (单轨) train.

When you reach the terminal,you walk straight into a little square which faces Main Street. Main Street is late 19th century. There are modern shops inside the buildings,but all the decades are of the period. There are hanging baskets fiill of red and white flowers, and there is no traffic except a horse draw streetcar and an ancient doubledecker bus. Yet as you walk through the magic Kingdom,you are actually walking on top of a network of underground roads. This is how the shops ? restaurants and all the other material needs of the Magic Kingdom are.

  A group of students in Japan have created a realistic robot baby to encourage young people to start planning a family so as to increase the country's birth rate. The automated (自动化的) doll developed at the University of Tsukuba,called Yotara,laughs and "wakes up" when a rat?tle is shaken.

  He can become angry and sleep like a real baby and he smiles when his stomach is pressed. The robot can also sneeze and have a running nose,thanks to a heated water pump system. The students of the Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences at the University created the robot last year with touch sensors. A projector sends the facial features onto a warm silicon bal?loon which makes up Yotara's face. The robot's facial expressions and body movements change according to pressure applied to different parts of its body.

  The information collected through touch sensors under the silicon skin is processed by a special programme. It then changes the baby's expression projected onto the balloonface from behind. There is a hat on the robot's head and a colourful blanket on his limbs which simulate moving from side to side with the help of a motor. " We wanted to create a new type of robot that is soft,pretty and attractive," said project leader Hiroki Kunimura.

  "We'd like people to experience the innocent,joyful expressions of typical small babies. Through this experience,it would be great if some people started feeling that they wanted to have their own baby,if they started feeling that working is not everything."

  Japan's birth rate is among the lowest in the developed world at 1. 37% , compared to 2. 12% in the United Stated and 1. 84% in Britain. According to a ministry of labor and welfare report,Japan is facing a serious economic problem with over a quarter of its citizens expected to be aged over 65 by 2015. The population is expected to shrink by a third within 50 years if the birth rate does not increase.

(   ) 1. What is the student's purpose of creating such a robot baby?

   A. To help the old people who live alone.

   B. To give small children some pleasure.

   C. To comfort lonely young people.

   D. To increase the population of Japan.

(   ) 2. From this passage we learn that Yotara         .

   A. can react to what you say to him

   B. is controlled by pressure applied to him

   C. shows no human emotions

   D. can cough and have a runny nose

(   ) 3. What's the new type of robot like in Hiroki Kunimura's mind?

   A. It can do everything for humans.

   B. It is clever,humorous and loyal.

   C. It is gentle,lovely,and smart.

   D. It makes humans happy.

(   ) 4. What can we infer from this passage?

   A. Many young people in Japan don't want to get married.

   B. There may be a lack of workers in Japan in the future.

   C. The lifespan of Japanese people will decrease in the future.
