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.
