7．I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room．
There，a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure．Some time later，in steps the doctor，who is also a robot．He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription．I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being．
This scenario（場景）is my nightmarish（噩夢般的）vision of the future，which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet．
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology．I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter．But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over．
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line，I am thrilled．And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store，I feel like shouting："When it comes to cashiers（收銀員），make mine human，please!"
After all，human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon （優(yōu)惠券） for items you are buying．Even more than that，real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children，which can brighten a young mother's day．A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse．
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine．But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life．
It is being human that prompts（促使）us to smile at others，which may be what they need at that moment．Call it the spirit，the soul or the heart．It is something no machine will ever have．

28．What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraph？D
A．To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient
B．To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors
C．To predict how technology can affect the we see a doctor in the future
D．To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life
29．What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots？A
A．Robots are indifferent and emotionless．
B．Robots don't offer to give store coupons．
C．Robots can't do a job as well as humans do．
D．Services from robots cost less time and more money．
30．What does the underlined word"element"mean in the seventh paragraph？D
A．Humor                                B．The ability to speak
C．Methods                               D．Effective communication
31．What's the main idea of the text？B
A．Being human service cost little money．
B．The opinion about using man or machine．
C．Machines give people a lot of convenience．
D．Being human service is better than service from machines．

Do people travel to the other side of the globe until a one-year-old baby? Is it a smart idea? I wonder if I was crazy. I had various adventures—hut this trip would be different. This South American adventure would be a unique life experience of mine. I had given up many activities in order to please a little person, because Anders’ needs had to come first. At 30 years old, it was a difficult change for me, and I was occasionally annoyed when I realized that my son had taken away so many things from me.

Argentina is a long way from my home. It was even longer when I was on the plane and sharing a seal with such an active little boy, but Anders and I made it without angering any other passengers or getting any dirty looks. And we look a rest on a regular schedule.

I wanted to do some hikes in Argentina and drive ten hours to the coast to see penguins. However, when I thought about my travel partner, I gave up these ideas. Instead, we just hung out by lakes, picking up stones and throwing them in the water. I took short hikes, running with Anders in die backpack, knowing that I had two hours before his tolerance gave out and the complaining started.

I discovered that traveling with a baby opens new doors that aren’t there for a solo traveler or couple. Anders helped me to slow down and look at the landscape closely. I got to see Argentina through someone else’s eyes. The traveling wasn’t as fast-paced as it would have been if I had been alone, but the details were amazing. Now I just have to absorb that insight into our life back home.
