We were going to play against a team from a country school.

They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.

We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.

The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward (前锋). From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style (姿势)he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.

After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.

Long long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电)。 But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.

As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.

About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is more useful.

French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were 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 (谓部). 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 (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements (动作) 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 the doctors work.

36. The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means “________.”

A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors

B. something done to mend a robot.

C. an operation done by French and American doctors

D. an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

37. We use the robot in the operation because _________.

A. it can send messages in 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 and doctors.

38. If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of ________.

A. top doctors B. smaller movement

C. doctor training D. high-speed telecommunications

39. Which of the following is NOT right?

A. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

B. Robotic operation is good for doctor training

C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

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

40. What’s the best title for this passage?

A. An Operation B. Robotic Operation

C. How to Do A Robotic Operation D. The Problems of A Robotic Operation
