When Zhu Caiping, 73, was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (认知损伤) three years ago, she found that anxiety and     1     (depress) became normal in her life. It was not until last year, after she became a restaurant server (服务员，侍者) in Shanghai, that her situation began to improve dramatically.

The cafe has eight elderly employees with cognitive impairments,     2       take turns working with other waiters to help customers enjoy their meals. In addition to providing services, the elderly employees participate in welfare activities     3     (organize) by volunteers, such as baking, dancing     4     learning English. “These activities reactivate my brain,” Zhu said.

Shanghai is also home     5     other cafes that provide help and support for disadvantaged groups. Last year, the cafe Hinchijou went viral (走红) after word spread that half its employees have disabilities,     6     (especial) hearing impairment. In 2018, A-Coffee     7     (establish) in the city, training people with autism (自闭症) to become professional waiters and     8     (provide) them with opportunities for social interaction.

“The popularity of these special cafes shows that many people in the city pay attention to public welfare, which is the symbol of Shanghai’s soft power,” said Lyu Xiaohui,     9    member of the standing committee of the Xuhui District Committee and director of     10    (it) publicity department.

A volunteer holiday is a very meaningful way    3    (see) cultures of other countries.Volunteers often work side by side with people of the country to help     4     poor. For example，you may help build a new school，dig a well，or look after orphans(孤儿)．There are organizations that match volunteers to projects all over the world，like Village Volunteers，or 1­to­1.You can choose     5     you want to go and what kind of project you’ll volunteer for.

The Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast (播客) version of my column, but now I am faced with a tough     1    (compete)．

To be fair, Amy does something going for her. She has a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her second advantage     2     (be) that she’s practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text     3     speech, costing nearly nothing. Even more     4    (impress) is her speed. Less than two seconds after receiving my     5    (write) text, which means when I just start to read, “Yesterday the Finan…”， she has already finished.

Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt     6    (good). I know it’s early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. Listening to her is not like listening to     7     non­English speaker read aloud, but to someone without brain, or heart, or sense of humor. Her     8    (deliver) is so poor that I don’t even understand. Amy never reads with understanding, never     9    (know) when to pause, and never does irony. She continues to get it wrong.

Finally, I’m not afraid Amy is about to steal my job. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart­to­heart communication that makes     10    (we) special, beautiful and irreplaceable.
