A man bought a new pair of trousers for his primary school mates’ reunion（重聚）dinner. When he tried it out at home, he found that the trousers were too long by 10cm.

He asked his mother to help him shorten the pants. His mother said she could not do it as she was not feeling well. So the man asked his wife .His wife said she was very tired that night, so she could not help him. Then the man asked his daughter. His daughter apologized for not able to do it because she had agreed to go dancing with her boyfriend.

"Ah well!" The man decided to wear his old trousers to the reunion.

Later that night, his mother thought to herself, "My son has been very nice to me. I’ll just help him before going to bed." So she shortened the pants by 10cm.

Then his wife thought," My husband knows I am always busy and seldom ask me to help him. " So she shortened the man’s pants by another 10cm.

His daughter came home from dancing, and thought, "Daddy loves me very much. And he is such a cool daddy, allowing me to go out with my boyfriend. I would help him to shorten his pants." So she shortened her daddy’s pants yet another 10cm.

The next day, three ladies told the man that his pants were shortened. He tried them on and found that his pants had become shorter by 30cm!

He laughed heartily, and said, "I must wear this pair of pants to show my schoolmates that my mum, my wife and my daughter are such loving people." At the dinner, his old classmates were very envious of his loving family.

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 possible safer and better operations 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. a special kind of robot invented by doctors

B. an operation done far away

C. an operation done with the help of a robot

D. something done to mend a robot

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

A. it can send messages at a high speed

B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself

C. it can make the operation safer and better

D. operations can be done without any doctors

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

A. top doctors　　　　　　　　　　 B. smaller movements

C. doctor training　　　　　　　　 D. high-speed telecommunications

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

A. more tools　　　　　　　　　　　 B. a robot machine

C. a video camera　　　　　　　　 D. telecommunications

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

B. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

The businessman saw the check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller who was one of the richest men in the world!

“I can pay off all my debts at once!” he thought with a smile. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe (保险箱).

Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. The old man appeared. But just as the businessman was about to hand back the check, a nurse came up and led the man away. The nurse said the old man was mentally (精神上地) ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.

The businessman just stood there, greatly surprised. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money that had turned his life around. It was his confidence (信心) that had given him the strength.
