　　You'll see a new doctor at a hospital near London if you go there. He is very clever, but he never speaks and doesn't go to medical school. He can work 24 hours and never be tired. He is one metre tall with a face like a TV screen. He has no arms or legs, although he has a lot of buttons （按钮） and switches. The new doctor is, of course, a computer. Doctors often need to ask their patients about their health in the past. But busy doctors can only spend a few minutes with each patient. The new machine, however, can ask a patient questions for an hour if necessary. So when the doctor meets his patient he already has a lot of helpful information.

　　Several clinics and hospitals in Britain are using these computers now. The computers show each question on TV screen. Then the patient pushes one of the three buttons：“Yes”, “No”, or“I don't know”. The computer is really quiet human If a very personal question is asked, it will be followed by “I hope these questions aren't upsetting （使……烦恼） you.” Or if you answer “No” to the question “Is your father alive”, the machine will reply “I am sorry to hear that.”

　　Most patients like the metal doctor. Some patients even prefer it. They can answer very personal questions more comfortably.

　　There are plans for better computers-perhaps ones that can speak. But the machine will never do the doctor's job. They will help doctors to give their patients better service.

1．The computer doctor can speak ________.

[　　]

2．The metal doctor's face is, in fact, a ________.

[　　]

3．In that hospital, the busy doctors can get a lot of information about the patients ________.

[　　]

4．Many patients like to talk with the metal doctor because it ________.

[　　]

A．never feels tired

B．works hard

C．makes them comfortable

D．is very friendly with them

5．The computers in the future will ________.

[　　]

A．take the place of human doctors

B．do everything for us

C．help people become doctors

D．help doctors serve patients better

An old man visited a new doctor. The new doctor was very young.“I don’t feel well， doctor,”the old man said，“please find out (查明) what’s wrong with me.”

“Take off（脱掉） your clothes and lie on the bed,” the young doctor said, “I’ll examine you.”

He listened to the old man’s heart, looked into his throat（喉咙） and examined（检查） every part of him. However, he couldn’t find anything wrong with the old man. At last he said，“I’m sorry，but I can’t find anything wrong with you. You are as healthy as (和……一样健康) I am.”

“That’s very strange（奇怪的）,”the old man said，“I really feel bad.”

“Come back tomorrow if you don’t feel better，”the young doctor said，“I’ll examine you again.”

“All right, doctor.”the old man said slowly. He stood up and put on his clothes. Then he walked out of the hospital. A few minutes later，a nurse ran in.“Doctor，Doctor!”she cried,“The man who you said was healthy has just died outside the door.”

The doctor thought quickly and said，“Then turn the body around so that（以便）people will think he was coming.”

A man got a new car and he was very proud of it. One day, when he came back home. He saw his three-year-old son happily hitting the new car with a toy hammer. He broke off the paint on the car. The man was so angry that he ran to his son, took away his hammer from him, and used the hammer to hit the boy’s hands as hard as he could for punishment（惩罚）。The poor boy cried loudly but his father didn’t care at all.

When the father calmed down, he took his son to the hospital as soon as he could. Although the doctor tried to save the broken bones, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end

When the boy woke up in the hospital and saw his hands ,he innocently（天真地）said“Daddy, I’m sorry about your car.”Then he asked, “But when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father felt very sad.

Think about this story when someone steps on your feet or when you want to argue with someone. Cars can be repaired, but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.

A Special Appointment

Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (轮班) went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.

At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.

The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.

The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.

The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.
