学科网（北京）股份有限公司When Philip Santini noticed an infection, he contacted his primary care physician, Jane
Chargot, M.D. ,and shegave himsome medicine.
However, test results showed that he wasn't recovering. Over the phone, Santini was told he
would need to go to the hospital to get infusions（输液） three times a day for a week. He was
packed and ready to head out to the hospital when he received another phone call. An alternative
plan was suggested instead —Hospital Careat Home.
Care at Home, a Michigan Medicine program which improves the patient experience while
freeing up hospital beds, has already admitted and transferred more than 50 patients from the
emergency department and inpatient hospital to receive hospital level care from the comfort of their
own homes.
Santini was the first direct registration patient for this program, meaning he never presented to
the hospitalinitially. It was nosurprisethat there was acelebration for thismilestone.
"I was ready to head out to the emergency department, " said Santini, who even had a list of
things to take when he got a call from Stephanie Paran, R. N. , a nurse at U-M Briarwood Family
Medicine. "Hearing Paran's words, Isprang to myfeet and didn't hesitatetoaccept theadvice. "
Although he initially didn't know what to expect, he later said what the care team did was far
beyond his expectations, especially the caregivers. The staff gave him infusions three times a day
for six days. They took his regular medications away, just like how they would in a hospital. They
checked the infection, drew blood and even brought in an ultrasound machine. "I didn't knowd that
was possible, " Santini said. After discharge, a Michigan Visiting Nurse visited once a week until
he completely recovered.
Santini believed treatment at home has helped the healing process. "I've never felt really
comfortable in the hospital, " he said. "It's hard to get good sleep there. At home Ihad my own food,
my own bed, plus my wife is here. No one has to go out of their way to visit me. It's a healthier
experience. I would encourage anyone to consider it."
4.What isthe advantage ofCare at Home?
A. It can reduce thepatients' expenses.
B. It can lessen thepressure onhospitals.
C. It can avoid thewaste ofmedical resources.
D. It can improvethe doctor-patient relationship.

C. It can makeimpossible possible. D. It onlyprovides one-week treatment.

A. ACurefor CommonInfection B. ATendency inFamily Health

Humans have a way of understanding others', goals, desires and beliefs, a crucial skill that
allows us to anticipate people's actions. Taking bread out of the toaster? You'll need a plate.
Sweeping up leaves? You'll grab the green trash can. This skill, often referred to as "theory of
mind", comes easily to us as humans, but for robots itstillhas ahigh mountain to conquer.
In a recent study, computer science researchers made the robot "watch" the human complete
the task using a camera placed directly above the assembly （组 装） area, looking down. To
detect the parts operated by the human, the system used AprilTags, similar to QR codes, attached to
the parts. Then, the system used machine learning to learn a person's preference based on their
orders of actions in the task. "Based on how a person performs the small assembly, the robot
predicts what that person will do in the larger assembly, " said Nemlekar. "For example, if the robot
sees that a person likes to start the small assembly with the easiest part, it will predict that they will
start withthe easiest part in thelarge assembly as well. "
In theresearchers' user study, their system was able topredict the actions that humans will take
with around 82% accuracy. "We hope that our research can make it easier for people to showrobots
what they prefer, " said Nemlekar. "By helping each person in their preferred way, robots can
reduce their work, save time and even build trust with them. " This technology could also be useful
in industrial settings where workers are tasked with assembling products in large numbers, saving
time and reducing the risk of injury or accidents. Additionally, it could help persons with
disabilities tomore easily assemble products and maintain independence.
"Our goal is not to replace humans on the factory floor. I expect similar findings in other
applications as well, " said Nikolaidis. "A robot that can quickly learn our preferences can help us
学科网（北京）股份有限公司prepare a meal, rearrange furniture or do house repairs, having a significant impact on our daily
lives. "
8.What does theunderlined part mean in Paragraph 1?
A. It's refreshing. B. It's challenging. C. It's unachievable. D. It's ridiculous.
9.What doresearchers want to "teach" robots to doin assembly tasks?
A. Topredict human preferences. B. To get the tasks finished easily.
C. To think ontheirown. D. Toavoid human errors.
10.What can we learn about therobots from thelast two paragraphs?
A. They can replace humans. B. They've been widely used.
C. They've improved theiraccuracy. D. They can dogood to thedisabled.
11.Where can the text probably be found?
A. In alab guidebook. B. In a computertextbook.
C. In a science newspaper. D. In an academic paper.

A new picture book called When Dinosaurs Conquered the Skies: The Incredible Story of Bird
Evolution explains the scientific idea that birds are dinosaurs. The writer Jingmai O'Connor
describes herself on Instagram as a "dead bird fan". With her PhD, she works at the Chicago Field
Museum as an expert ontheevolution ofbirds and flying dinosaurs.
O'Connor says people may know that birds are little dinosaurs. But they might not connect that
fact to the birds they see. One purpose of her book, she said, is to achieve it. O'Connor also wants
people to seebirds as she does —as fascinating flying dinosaurs.
In her book, O'Connor also talks about the larger idea of science — namely the importance of
making mistakes. Each mistake, she said, leads us closer to the truth. "Science is essentially a series
of mistakes. And every mistake, you know, informs us a little bit more and gives us a little bit more
information. But pretty much everything that we think is 'truth' right now is probably at least partly
wrong. You know, there is somuch we don't know. But mistakes are part oftheprocess. "
O'Connor is a Chinese-Irish American who grew up in Pasadena, California. She did not
always want to study the remains of ancient living things. She began studying geology, like her
mother. "But in mycase, mymother went back to school todo her PhDwhen Iwas around 10 years
学科网（北京）股份有限公司old. And so, she had four kids. . . So, she would take us with her to not only the laboratory, but also
into thefield, which means going out to collect samples. So, Ifell in lovewith geology. "
However, O'Connor had a larger goal in mind when she wrote her book. She said, "Through
having greater respect for the living animals around us, I hope that people start to think more about
how they impact the environment through their actions, so that we can all move towards a more
sustainable future. "
12.Which isone ofthegoals ofO'Connor's bookaccording to Paragraph 2?
A. Tomake connections. B. To writea review.
C. To give instructions. D. Tomake a profit.
13.What does O'Connorthink ofmistakes?
A. Unavoidable. B. Meaningless. C. Invaluable. D. Uncontrollable.
14.What can be learned from Paragraph 4about theauthor?
A. Shehad complex social relationships.
B. Shewanted tobe ageology teacher.
C. Her motherwas her geology teacher.
D. Her motherhad early effects onher.
15.What does O'Connorexpect of herreaders?
A. Being mindful ofwhat they willsay.
B. Creating a moresustainablelifestyle.
C. Organizing moreoutdooractivities.
D. Trying to makeuseofthe findings.

He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know why he was home instead of Mom, but I
was young and the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very
lucky.
Dad did so many things for me during my grade school years. He convinced the school bus
driver to pick me up at my house instead of the usual bus stop that was six blocks away. He always
had my lunch ready formewhen Icame home.
As I got a little older, I wanted to move away from those "childish" signs of his love. But he
wasn't going to give up. In high school and no longer able to go home for lunch, I began taking my
own. Dad would get up a little earlier and make it for me. The outside of the sack might be covered
with a heart inscribed with "Dad-n-Angie K. K. ". Inside there would be a napkin（餐巾纸） with
that same heart or an "I love you. ”
I used to hidemy lunch sonoonewould seethe bag orread thenapkin, but that didn't last long.
One of my friends saw the napkin one day, grabbed it, and passed it around the lunch room. My
face burned with embarrassment. To my astonishment, the next day ali my friends were waiting to
see the napkin. From the way they acted, I thought they all wished they had someone who showed
them that kind oflove. I felt so proud!
When I left home for college, I thought the messages would stop. But my friends and I were
glad that his gestures continued. I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff
always knew who the letters were from. Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon, and
along with the enclosed letters were usually drawings of our cat and dog, stick figures of him and
Mom.
