い。例にならって、訂正すべき語句の番号とその正しい形を答えよ。
（例）（1） Once in a time, there lived a woman （2） with two daughters.
（答え）（1）
：Once upon a time
Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they can do work （1）that humans prefer not to do because
it is dangerous, dirty, or
bored. Some robots are taking jobs away from people. Bobby is a mail carrier
（2）
robot that brings mail to a large office building in Washington, D.C. There are hundreds of mail carrier
robots in the United States. In more than seventy hospitals around the world, robots
calling “Help
（3）
Mates” take medicine down halls, call for elevators, and deliver meals. In Washington, D.C., a tour guide
at the Smithsonian museum is a robot （4）whose name is Minerva. About 20 percent of the people who met
Minerva said that she seemed as intelligent as a person. There is even a robot that is a teacher.
Mr. Leachim is a fourth-grade teacher robot. He
weights 200 pounds, is six
foot tall, and has some
（5）
（6）
advantages as a teacher. One advantage is that he doesn’t forget details. He knows each child’s name, the
parents’ names, and what each child knows and needs to know. In addition, he knows each child’s pets and
hobbies. Mr. Leachim doesn’t make mistakes. Each child tells Mr. Leachim his or her name and then enters
an identification number. His computer brain puts the child’s voice and number
together. He identifies
（7）
the child with no mistakes. Then he starts the lesson.
（8）Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If the children do not understand something,
they can repeat Mr. Leachim’s lesson over and over again. When the children do a good job, he tells them
something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson, the children switch off Mr. Leachim.
The good thing about Mr. Leachim is
that he doesn’t have a nervous system
（9）
likes a human, so he
（10）
doesn’t get upset if a child is “difficult.”

Yomiuri Shimbun at the Tokyo Institute of Technology2） in Meguro （a）Ward, Tokyo.
The Kyoto University professor, who
（b）
won this yearʼs Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 3） for
developing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells4） that can differentiate into5） various organs and tissues, gave a
speech at the forum （ｴ）held on Friday. He also participated in a panel discussion on the forumʼs （c）theme of
（ｳ）
“Message for Coming Generations,” which was attended by many high school students.
Since winning the prize on Monday, Yamanaka has been extremely
（ｵ）
busy.（ 1 ）Friday morning,
Yamanaka gave a speech in Yokohama before meeting with Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and others.
Yamanaka, who arrived about 40 minutes after the forum
began, was greeted with thunderous
（ｶ）
applause
(d）
from an audience of about 350 people.
“I was having lunch with Makiko Tanaka, the education and（ 2 ）minister, and got wrapped up in our
conversation,” Yamanaka said, apologizing（ 3 ）the delay.
At the forum, Yamanaka gave a general overview of iPS cells and discussed the possibility（ 4 ）utilizing
the cells in regenerative medicine6） to cure damaged organs or （ｷ）develop therapeutic medicine7）.
He also talked about his（ 5 ）of running marathons, saying one of the reasons he participates in marathons
is to raise money to hire staff for his iPS research.
During the panel discussion, which also featured other specialists such as Ryoji Noyori, RIKEN president and
2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner, panelists talked about how to （ｸ）realize dreams, among other issues.
Asked about when would be the most advantageous time to study abroad, Yamanaka answered, “ʻWhatʼ to
study is more important than ʻwhen.ʼ ⅠI hope people who plan on studying abroad expand their network and
do more than just study.” Yamanaka also spoke about his （ｹ）belief in younger generations, saying: “Youʼll find
success after failing about 90 percent of the time. Itʼs the same in life and experiments. I can say this based on
experience.
Making a lot of mistakes when youʼre young is nothing to be ashamed about.”
