Hi Mary,

Thank you for your books for my birthday. You know I often read in my room after school and I like the stories about animals very much. These books are all about pandas. It’s great. They are my favourite animals. There are ten panda pictures on the walls of my room. Some of them are baby pandas. They are small. Some pandas live in other countries. I can know about how they live there from these books. I’ve got a lot of presents from my family, classmates and friend. I’m happy today.How about you?

Liz

Hi Liz,

I’m glad that you like my books. There is a small book table in my classroom. I go to have a look every day. There are always some new books on it. And sometimes we can see some information about many other new books. Thanks to it, I could know what to buy for you. I also go to the school library every Friday afternoon. It’s not big. There are lots of books about history, geography and English there. History books are my favourite. It’s time to do my English homework now. I think I can finish it thirty minutes. You know, I do well in English and I always get an A in the English test.

You can bike to work and benefit from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.

French doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman's gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor's order to a robot to move the tools quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor's hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where doctors work.

1."Robotic operation" means "___________".

A.an operation done with the help of a robot B.an operation done far away

C.a special kind of robot invented by doctors D.something done to mend a robot

2.We use the robot in the operation because __________.

A.even a top doctor can't do the operation himself B.it can send messages at a high speed

C.operations can be done without any doctors D.it can make the operation safer and better

3.If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of __________.

A.high-speed telecommunications B.top doctors

C.doctor training D.smaller movements

4.If the smaller movement can't be done by doctors in the operation, we may use __________ to solve it.

A.telecommunications B.a video camera C.a robot machine D.more tools

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Experts speak highly of robotic operation. B.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

C.Robotic operation is good for doctor training. D.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
