An artificial intelligence (AI) hand has been developed by a Beijing-based medical team. “With signal sensors testing the differences in the morphological (形态的) skin,the AI hand can collect signals of the finger movement from muscles. These signals are then sent,through the skin to the AI fingers,especially the thumb,to realize the intended movement of the fingers,” says Yang Yong,a doctor from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital.
“To better control the ‘fingers’,the patient wearing the artificial hand needs to experience an operation (MRT operation) to redistribute (重新分配) the key muscles in the remaining part of the patient’s disabled arm,” explains Yang. “The key muscles will be planted into the skin so that the finger movement signals of the muscles can be collected by the sensors on the skin surface. The AI fingers,combined with the electromyographic signals (肌电信号) of the forearm,can then realize the movement of the muscles,” Yang adds.
According to the hospital,there are some patients who have experienced the MRT operation.
Zhou Ping lost his right forearm in an accident. Since he received the MRT operation and was given an AI hand,he has begun to feel the alterations in his life. He couldn’t take care of himself after the accident. However,the situation improved with the help of the AI hand. “I now can lift a glass of water and pick up small things by using the AI hand,” Zhou says,adding that he puts it on every morning,and takes it off before going to bed.
( )6.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.What the AI hand is.
B.How the AI hand works.
C.When an AI hand is needed.
D.Why some people need an AI hand.
B
( )7.Why do patients need to experience the MRT operation?
A.To let them get new and useful arms.
B.To make their disabled arms work again.
C.To control the fingers of the AI hand well.
D.To make them become healthier than before.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Last week,I went to the science and technology museum with my parents. A special machine caught my attention. It was a new kind of robot — Home Doctor. Home Doctor was invented two months ago. And it was invented by three young men. It looks like a lovely girl, and it is about 1.2 meters tall. It is made from recycled materials, like glass and plastic.
Home Doctor can not only give people lots of advice on health, but also treat common diseases at home. With the robot, people needn’t go to the hospital whenever they feel sick or get hurt, so it will save people a lot of time. What’s more, it can help take good care of the old people and babies at home.
I believe Home Doctor will be more powerful and useful, and it will be very popular with people in the future.
