【题目】The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and had been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt "The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?" I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

"If you come by right now, " the receptionist said, " the dentist will fit you in. "

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. "

"How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently. "Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, "the assistant said.

"The artwork?" I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!

【3】 Why did the author suddenly smile?

B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

C. Because she could relax in the chair.

【题目】I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

There, a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription (处方). I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.

When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line, I am thrilled. And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting, "When it comes to cashiers, make mine human, please!"

After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying. Even more than that, real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mother's day. A cashier may also show compassion (同情)for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.

What technological device would do any of this? I don't want to go back to the Stone Age, but I'm also worried about a world run by machines. Sometimes when you're chatting with someone, you discover things you need to know. Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child. Maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired.

Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine. But they lack an element so important to everyday life.

Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It is something no machine will ever have. It is being human that prompts us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment.

B. To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life.

C. To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors.

D. To predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctoring the future.

A. Robots are indifferent and emotionless.

B. Robots can't provide efficient services.

C. Robots don't offer to give store coupons.

D. Robots are unable to do a job as well as humans.

【3What's the author's attitude towards machines?

A. He wishes one day they would come to life.

B. He is absolutely against their existence in his life.

C. He doesn't like they get involved in his life too much.

D. He is afraid they would take the place of human beings.
