业界普遍认为，1822年由荷兰国王威廉姆一世所创立的私人信托投资基金是世界上最早的基金。( )

答案

参考答案：错

解析： 证券投资基金是证券市场发展的必然产物，在发达国家已有上百年的历史。最早的基金究竟诞生于何时，目前并没有一致性的看法。一些人认为，1822年由荷兰国王威廉姆一世所创立的私人信托投资基金可能是世界上最早的基金。但封闭式的投资信托基金是在后来的英国生根发芽、发扬光大的，因此，目前人们更多地倾向于将1868年英国成立的“海外及殖民地政府信托基金”(The Foreign and Colonial Government Trust)看作是最早的基金。

     TOKYO-A child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse,companion and security guard

is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after

them.

      The "Wakamaru" robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day,warning family,hospitals

and security firms if it perceives(notices)a problem.It will,for example,call relatives if the owner

fails to get out of the bath.

     Cameras implanted in the "eye-brows" of the robot enable it to "see" as it walks around an

apartment.The images can be sent to the latest cell phones,which display the pictures.

      Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which developed Wakamaru plans to start selling the meter-high

robots for about $15 000.

     Wakamaru,which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl,is also designed to provide

companionship,greeting its "papa" when he comes home.

     It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations,based on a vocabulary of

around 10 000 words.It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.

     It will ask "Are you all right?" if its owner does not move for some time.If the answer is no,

or there is no answer,it will telephone preset numbers,transmitting images and functioning as a

speakerphone.

     Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters

the house while the owner is out or asleep.It can recognize up to 10 faces . But like most robots

it cannot climb stairs.

     It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine,eat and sleep.

      Mitsubishi adapted Wakamaru from robots which already makes to go around nuclear power

facilities(设施).The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.

     The project chief said:"Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decide that

this could work as a business.We want to offer Wakamaru as a product that helps society.

     The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how

to look after the ever-growing number of old people.The life expectancy of Japanese women has

shot up to almost 85,the highest in the world.
