Section R1 (13 marks) Read the following passage and answer all the questions.

Cat Cafés – A Global Success Cat cafés are places where people go to enjoy their coffee while in the company of cats. They are popular in Japan, mainly due to the fact that pets are not allowed in most apartments there. The cafés attract a range of customers including tourists, but most are young workers with stressful jobs who live alone. The cats provide comfort and companionship. Osaka was the first Japanese city to open a cat café in 2004 and there are now over 30 in Tokyo alone. However, it wasn’t the Japanese who came up with the idea. The first ever café of this type was set up in Taipei, Taiwan in the late 1990s. There are now hundreds worldwide. Some have only specific colours or breed of cats, some allow customers to adopt or buy an animal, but they must all have a license and follow the regulations of animal protection law. Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium opened in London in 2014. It is named after Dinah, Alice’s cat, in Lewis Carroll’s book Alice in Wonderland. As a tea room it sells traditional tea and cakes, but like all cat cafés, customers are charged an additional fee for their time in ‘cat company’. There are eleven cats, all of which were donated by people moving abroad who couldn’t take pets with them. However, setting up was not simple for owner, Lauren Pears, as health and safety laws made it costly and time-consuming. It appears the effort has been worthwhile. Unlike other cat cafés, customers here must make a reservation and it is booked up for months in advance. Lauren thinks too many customers are stressful for the cats. She also has several rules: stroking and playing are permitted, but picking up is not. The welfare of the cats is her highest priority. The cat café craze shows little sign of slowing down, despite the reluctance of many authorities to mix animals and food preparation. In the USA, where it is forbidden to mix the two, café owners have managed to solve the problem by dividing the premises into two sections, one room for coffee and the other for cats.

For questions 1-3 please answer in complete sentences. (2 marks each)

1. Why are cat cafés particularly popular in Japan?

2. Who are the majority of the customers?

Section R2 (7 marks)

Read the five short news stories below. Choose from the articles (A to E) and

complete the answer grid. The articles may be chosen more than once. One has been

done for you as an example.

Which article, A, B, C, D or E, talks about

robots which entertain people? e.g. A

robots that do housework? 1

a robot that will be used under the sea? 2

the reason for a robot’s name? 3

a robot that warns people? 4

robots which could make holidays cheaper? 5

how the use of robots has changed? 6

a robot which might be used in space? 7

B. American scientists announced this week that

they have made a soft-bodied robot that looks

and swims like a fish. It is hoped that in the

future it might be able to join schools of real fish

and gather information about their behaviour to

help with scientific research. The creators

believe that flexible, soft robots are the way of

the future as they may be safer to use around

humans.

A. Robots from around the world have gone on

display in Moscow. The exhibition was introduced

by Titan, which danced for the audience and made

jokes. The RoboThespian from the UK amused

crowds by singing, dancing and reciting poetry.

Robots were invented to perform repetitive tasks

but they are now fully interactive and can be used

as guides, therapists and companions.

C. A spider discovered in the

Moroccan desert has been the

inspiration for a new robot.

When the spider is threatened it

jumps to avoid danger. This also

allows it to move across sand.

German engineers designed a

robot that can move in a similar

way. The robot is called Tabbot,

which is the local word for

spider. This robot could be

employed on the moon or even

planets like Mars where the

landscape is uneven.

E. A range of robots are on

display at the Perfect Home

Exhibition, all of which help

with household tasks. Rooma is

one of the most popular

automatic vacuuming robots on

the market. Scooba takes the

process one step further by

washing and vacuuming at the

same time. Agent 007 is a

security robot equipped with

cameras that can announce

‘Police! Freeze!’ if a stranger

is detected inside the building.

D. Scientists in Japan are

working on a new Actroid

robot, which resembles a

young Japanese woman.

They hope to use several of

the robots to work at a new

hotel in Nagasaki, where the

team of robots will help

visitors to check in, carry

luggage to the room and take

food orders. This should keep

the hotel’s prices below

those of hotels which use

‘real’ employees.
