1Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery()on a patient thousands of kilometers away?
A recent surgery was done by doctors in Chengdu in real.Using a robotic technology,the doctors saved a
patient in Lhasa().With the development of AI-powered remote surgery,modern healthcare has
changed in a big way.
②AI played an important part in this surgery..By studying tons of medical data(数据,AI helps
doctors plan the surgery,predict problems that could happen,and find the solutions.
3During the surgery,AI also tells the doctors the patient's necessary information,like heart rate,
blood pressure and oxygen levels.If anything of the patient goes wrong,it can warn the medical team and
suggest changes to the surgery plan.
4Another key role in this surgery was supercomputing technology.Remote surgeries need fast data
transmission(传送),as even small delays(延迟)can be dangerous.Supercomputing can quickly deal
with a lot of data,making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and that the doctors'orders are followed
at once.
5The robot used in this surgery does an excellent job.It has one arm and one hole,which makes
the cut smaller,making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better.It also increases
the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents.
6This kind of surgery is a huge excitement,especially for people in remote areas.It means that
patients don't have to travel far for good medical care,saving time and being treated in time.
7And for places with fewer doctors,this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from
bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors.This kind of surgery is important for
improving healthcare everywhere.
9.How does the writer lead into AI-powered remote surgery?
A.By giving reasons.
B.By telling a story.
C.By listing numbers.
D.By giving an example.
10.Which of the following questions is answered in Paragraph 4?
A.Why does the surgery need the help of supercomputer?
B.Where was the AI-powered remote surgery performed?
C.How's the normal computer different from the supereomputer?
D.When is the best time for the supercomputer to deal with the data?
11.What is the main advantage of the surgical robot mentioned in Paragraph 5?
a“1%0a
A.It can work without any internet connection.
B.It is cheaper than traditional surgical methods.
C.It can perform surgeries without any human doctors
D.It makes smaller cuts,reduces pain,and speeds up recovery.
12.What can we infer about AI-powered remote surgery from the passage?
A.No matter how far the place is,this kind of surgery can reach.
B.AI can warn the doctors if anything goes wrong with the patient.
C.The doctors in Lhasa might improve their skills through this kind of surgery.
D.The patient in Lhasa may get better a little slower through this kind of surgery.

Schools around the world are finding new ways to make class breaks both fun and healthy.

exercise gaming wall that offers active games like dancing,football,and ski jumping.Since the iWall was

Chinese schools are also bringing new ideas to class breaks.In some schools in Shenyang,Liaoning
Province,class-break activities are now powered by AI technology.Students use facial recognition to
record their activities and play VR sports games.Another example is Shanghai Baoshan No.2 Central
Primary School.There,students design their dream playground with LEGO bricks ()which helps
encourage students'creativity and imagination.To let students fully enjoy the space they have created,the
school has even made break time 5 to 20 minutes longer.
Education experts point out that active and enough breaks help students return to class with better
focus,which is important for children's growth in body,mind,and social skills.

We do everything in a hurry-finishing our meals,completing our tasks,running to the gyms...We choose
fast living because we think we have no control of time.We try to do as much as we can each day,checking off

a^“1%oa
tasks on our to-do lists.Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time.
Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well.For a long time,
we believe that speed means being productive and successful,and therefore,we keep rushing here and there in
doing everything.Yet from time to time,we find ourselves in a predicament()that no matter how fast we
go,we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals
The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster,but to learn how to live
slower.The movement began with the Slow Food Program,which was set up in 1986.It believed that we
should fight against fast-food restaurants,protect traditional cooking,and encourage people to enjoy preparing
and eating food.
The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life.In 1999,it helped create
Cittaslow-a group focused on slowing down life in cities.This belief about slowing down quickly began to
influence areas like work,travel,fashion,and living in general.
The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity ()Slow living is a lifestyle
based on the Slow Movement.Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of
rest.Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs,
rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives.Today,more people are drawn to
the idea of the Slow Movement,thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly.
41.Why do people choose fast living?
42.What is the answer to our predicament,according to the Slow Movement?
43.What is the main idea of the Slow Movement?
44.Which lifestyle do you prefer,fast living or slow living?Why?(Please give two reasons.)
