1 . Using a 5G-powered robot, doctors at a hospital in east China’s Zhejiang Province conducted an ultrasound (超声波) scan for a patient 700 km away in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province in central China, the center of the novel corona virus (冠状病毒) outbreak, according to the Science and Technology Daily.

In line with the patient’s ultrasonic images transmitted back in real-time, two doctors, Peng Chengzhong and Ye Ruizhong of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, operated a robotic arm via a 5G network that performed the ultrasound scan for the patient in a makeshift hospital in Wuhan.

It was not the first time 5G remote ultrasound technology had been used to treat novel corona virus patients in China. The country’s first remote ultrasonic medical certificate (证书) was issued when Peng conducted an ultrasound scan for a suspected patient in a small city of Zhejiang on February 2.

The 5G smart medical innovation laboratory jointly established by Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, telecommunication giant China Telecom and tech giant Huawei, has provided technical support for the two cases.

A few minutes of cardiopulmonary ultrasound examination will produce up to 2GB of ultrasonic image data, with a high transmission (传播) speed and low delay.

It was also not the first time 5G-powered robots had played a full role in China’s epidemic prevention and control.

The 5G cloud intelligent robots developed by another telecommunication giant China Mobile and robot maker CloudMinds have been working in Hubei Province and other places, providing medical services such as remote care, body temperature tests, cleaning and drug delivery.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a notice that it would support the application of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence in areas such as epidemic monitoring, virus sourcing, epidemic prevention and treatment.

9 . My passage into eighties a few weeks ago gave me a moment’s reflection and the thought that I should watch how others in this situation have been affected. After a while it seemed to me that the first 80 years are the hardest.

Once you reach 80, everyone wants to carry your baggage and help you up steps. If you forget your name or anybody else’s name, or an appointment or your own telephone number, or promise to be three places at the same time, or you can’t remember how many grandchildren you have, you need only explain that you are 80.

Being 80 is a lot better than being 70. At 70 people are mad at you for everything. At 80, you have a perfect excuse no matter what you do. If you act foolishly, it’s your second childhood. Everybody is looking for symptoms of your failures of the brain.

Being 70 is not fun at all. At that age they expect you to retire to a house in Florida and complain about your arthritis (关节炎) and you ask everybody to stop mumbling (咕哝) because you can’t understand them. (Actually your hearing is about 50% gone.)

If you survive until you are 80, everybody is surprised that you are still alive. They treat you with respect just for having lived so long. Actually they seem surprised that you can walk and talk sensibly.

So please, folks, try to make it to 80. It’s the best time of life. People forgive you for anything. In response to the question of what years were the most difficult, an 80-year-old responded “those between 10 and 70.” Life begins at 80.

1. According to the passage, how old is the writer now?

A．Eighty.

B．Seventy.

C．Sixty.

D．Not known.

2. What does the writer say people do to an eighty-year-old man?

C．They talk loudly to him.	D．They offer help to him.

3. What problems do the 80-year-olds often have?

A．They are not respected by other people.	B．They are often forgetful.
C．They can’t understand other people.	D．They are afraid of death.

4. The writer wrote this passage in a _______ way.

A．negative
