【推荐1】International Nurses Day on May 12 honors nurses around the world. Sponsored by the International Council of Nurses, it celebrates the tireless efforts of nurses in maintaining public health.

Each International Nurses Day has a theme—in 2020, it is “Nursing the World to Health.”     1     Nightingale, thought to be the founder of modern nursing, was a British nurse during the Crimean War in the 1850s. She is popularly known as The Lady with the Lamp because she was often seen tending to wounded soldiers at night with a lamp in her hands.

Nurses are a vital part of any healthcare system, public or private.     2     They support and partner with doctors and medical providers to administer medical care. They monitor patients' health and spend time making them feel safe in a medical environment. Because of this, nurses have become one of the most trusted professionals around the world.

    3     Until Nightingale transformed it, nursing was not an organized profession, often undertaken by members of religious orders, and viewed as an important occupation.     4     Additionally, she integrated (合并;结合) modern ideas of medicine and care into the day-to-day workings of nurses.

Today, nursing as an occupation accounts for 59% of the healthcare sector around the world.     5     Another 2018 study estimates that patients who require intensive care tend to spend about 86%to 88%of their time with a nurse, indicating the importance of nursing staff in the healthcare system. Each country has different rules about the educational and experience requirements of nursing specializations. But whatever their speciality, the goal of nurses is to deliver the best medical and health care to sufferers with great compassion.

A.Unfortunately, this wasn't always the case.
B.They are responsible for the well-being of their patients.
C.They can often experience violence from patients or their families.
D.This is according to a study done by the World Health Organization.
E.Nursing is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding careers.
F.Also, May 12, 2020 marks the 200th birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale.
G.Nightingale helped promote its position by creating the first official nurses'training program in 1860.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是机器人实际上有利于劳动力市场。

【推荐2】Many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. A paper in 2013 by economists at Oxford University was widely misinterpreted as meaning that 47% of American jobs were at risk of being automated.

The concern about mass unemployment is overblown. Actually, robots will be ultimately beneficial for labour markets. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotisation moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies. Another study, by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, looked at Finnish firms and concluded that their use of advanced technologies led to increases in hiring.

For all that, the march of the robots will bring big changes to workplaces. The skills and firms that are rewarded will shift, too. One supposed example of “bad automation” is self-service checkouts in supermarkets, because they replace human workers. Robots could perform work that is unpleasant, such as butchering. Checkout staff who retrain to help customers pick items from aisles may well find that dealing with people in need is more rewarding than spending all day swiping barcodes in front of lasers.

Inevitably, some people will be on the losing end of change even as the robots make society as a whole better off. One lesson from the freewheeling globalisation of the 1990s and 2000s is that the growth in trade that was overwhelmingly beneficial triggered a political backlash (反对), because the losers felt left behind. That is one more reason why firms and governments would do well to recognize the value of retraining and lifelong learning. As jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills.

1. Why does the author mention “Japanese manufacturing” in paragraph 2?
A.To explain a rule.B.To show a trend.
C.To support an idea.D.To make a prediction.
2. How might checkout staff feel about assisting customers directly?
A.Bored.B.Refreshed.C.Pleased.D.Uncomfortable.
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Robots may cause mass unemployment.
B.People should be ready to learn and adapt.
C.Everyone will benefit equally from robots.
D.Workers should be encouraged to find new employment.
4. What may be the best title for the text?
A.Change the Control of RobotsB.More Robots
C.Welcome the Rise of RobotsD.Better Robots
