While Eva has welcomed a diverse range of videos from around the world，she still hopes for more,“I have heard people say ‘Oh，I want to submit a video，but the bar is so high’，”she says.“This isn’t the case.The video doesn’t need to be high-tech;in fact we don’t want it to be fancy.No music，no editing and no special effects.Just someone talking and telling the truth.” Kindness the Movie may still be in the early stages of production，but Eva has great ambitions for the final outcome of the film.“We hope it will eventually be in theatres everywhere to raise people’s awareness of kindness.It sounds hard but we are trying to start a revolution.” 61.What’s the purpose of the documentary project?

C A robot that can read emotions has been unveiled(公布于众的)in Japan by billionaire Masayoshi Son who says robots should be tender and make people smile. Son’s mobile phone company SoftBank says that the robot named Pepper will go on sale in Japan in February for 198，000 yen(US$l，900).Overseas sales plans are under consideration but undecided. The machine，which has no legs but has gently gesturing hands，appeared on a stage in a Tokyo suburb，cooing and humming.It dramatically touched hands with Son in an“E.T.”moment. Son said Pepper has been programmed to read the emotions of people around it by recognizing expressions and voice tones.“Our aim is to develop affectionate robots that can make people smile，”he said. The 121-centimeter-tall，28-kilogram white Pepper，which has no hair but two large doll-1ike eyes and a flat-panel display stuck on its chest.Besides featuring the latest voice recognition.Pepper is loaded with more than a dozen sensors(传感器)，including two touch sensors in its hands，three touch sensors on its head，and six laser sensors and three sensors in its base. But a presentation yesterday in Tokyo highlighted the robot’s shortcomings as much as its charm.Pepper was more fluent with its own chatter(交谈)，such as asking“Do you do Twitter?” or “Is this the first time you ever spoke to a robot?” But it would not really wait for an answer，going on to the next topic. Many other Japanese companies，including Hitachi and Toyota Motor Corp，have also developed various robots that entertain and serve as companions.The potential is great，as the number of elderly people requiring care is expected to soar(剧增)in rapidly aging Japan in coming years. Bruno Maisonnier，founder and chief executive，who appeared on the stage with Son， said，“I believe that the most important role of robots will be as kind and emotional companions to improve our daily lives，to bring happiness and constantly surprise us.” 66.Which is the most important feature of the robot? A.Gentle and caring. B.Tender and smiling： C.Effective and smart. D.Surprising and happy. 67.What do we know about the equipment of pepper?
