As years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of these adults are worry. A large majority of students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants: a cross section of all the trades and professions—and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes — businesswomen and housewives. They, too, had problems! Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry—so again I tried to find one.

I went to New York’s great public library at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street and discovered to my astonishment that this library had only twenty-two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty-nine books listed under WORMS. Almost nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isn’t it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldn’t you, that every high school and college would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?

Yet, if there is even one course on that subject in any college in the land, I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully: “ We grow up with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet (芭蕾舞).”

The result? More than half of our hospital beds are occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles.

I looked over those twenty-two books on worry, reposing (靠) on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I purchased all the books on worry I could find; yet I couldn’t discover even one that I could use as a textbook in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself.

1.What made the writer realise one of the adults’ biggest problems?

A. His wide reading.

B. His practical survey.

C. His scientific research.

D. His students’ real situation.

2.The writer went to New York’s great public library with the purpose of _________.

A. getting a book for his teaching

B. finding some material for his new book

C. obtaining some information for his research

D. borrowing some books on worms for his students

3.What do David Seabury’s words in Paragraph 3 show?

A. Worry is extremely common.

B. We lack knowledge of worry.

C. We show no interest in worry.

D. Worry can hardly be controlled.

4.The writer wrote the passage to __________.

A. show us how to conquer worry

B. warn us of the possible danger of worry

C. persuade us to get rid of worry

D. explain why he wanted to write a book on worry

The teaching hospital is one associated with a medical school. Teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. These hospitals always have interns(实习医师) and residents(住院医师) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. They have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. Open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. Dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. Important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.

On the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. Many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. Since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. With the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. The sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. Medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. However, some excesses(超额) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.

1.One of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that ________.

2.The passage implies that ________.

3.Treatments of some difficult and complicated cases in teaching hospital are decided ________.

4. The problem that still bothers teaching hospitals frequently is ________.

With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the last mile of the delivery process, from the store to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to stay away from pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, like garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

Though Amazon hasn’t revealed how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them before the delivery, to unlock the cargo bay. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs recharging Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human in tow, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location however, will be tracked at all times—if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly alerted.

While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ bug-eyed robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in test-mode, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge.

Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles, motor bikes, and large delivery trucks that typically ferry packages, they can t climb stairs or open gates, which means they can only reach consumers living the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers aren’t home. whether these issues get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to satisfy the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.

1.What is the right feature of the Scout robots?

A.They can be powered themselves. B.They know to avoid obstacles ahead.

C.They can run thanks to their six wheels. D.They’re big enough to carry heavy things.

2.What about Scout is still confusing to common people?

A.How long it will take to get it fully charged.

B.Why its cargo bay can open at the right time.

C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things.

D.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.

3.What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?

A.They are not easily available. B.They’ll replace humans soon.

C.They have some limitations. D.They won’t be well accepted.

4.What should be the best title for the text?

A.Improvements Are Being Made To Delivery robot Technology.

B.Amazon has Planned To Put A Creative Delivery Robot Into Use.

C.Eco-friendly delivery Robots Are Springing Up Around America.

D.Amazon’s delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking At Your Door.

With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight — month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company's Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized

packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

To accelerate Scout's development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.

Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times ——if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.

However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.

1.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?

A.Final tests. B.The so-called last mile.

C.Robots' safety. D.Delivery speed.

2.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?
