八.阅读表达
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
With the rapid development of technology, robots are playing an increasingly important role in healthcare.
Many companies have created smart robots to improve patients’ quality of life, making their daily life safer
and more convenient. In China, the ArmMotus EMU robot helps patients recover arm movements after injuries with
smart AI, which makes training fun and effective. In Japan, the Mabu robot records medication (用药) schedules and
also warns families about health risks. For example, if a sick child forgets to take a pill, Mabu sets a reminder and
notifies (通知) parents. Such features allow sick children to stay independent while giving their families peace of
mind.
Besides daily healthcare, robots can also offer companionship (陪伴). For example, Toyota’s Human Support
Robot (HSR) can pick up objects, prepare medication, and even hold simple conversations with patients. Similarly,
4 / 5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司ElliQ, developed by Intuition Robotics, acts as a “friend” by suggesting activities like playing chess or listening to
music, sharing daily news, and chatting with the patients. These robots combine (结合) advanced technology with
healthcare, offering both safety and companionship.
Even with these benefits, healthcare robots still face big challenges. Cost remains a big problem. High-tech
robots like Mabu or HSR are expensive, making them unaffordable for many families. Governments are exploring
solutions such as robot-sharing programs to give more people chances to use these tools. Another worry is emotional
care. Some people argue that robots cannot replace human warmth. A robot might bring a glass of water, but it cannot
share personal stories or offer a comforting hug. Experts stress that robots should work with human caregivers, rather
than replace them totally.
Looking ahead, robot technology will continue to advance. The Paro robot in Japan, a cute robotic seal (海
豹)—has already been used in some hospitals to calm anxious patients. The Pillo robot in the US manages
medications and even answers health questions, becoming a trusted helper. Robots offer amazing tools to support
healthcare. They handle routine tasks, improve safety, and bring joy. Yet, balancing technology with human
connection remains important. Caregivers can start by introducing robots for simple tasks like setting reminders, and
gradually introduce more features based on patients’ needs.
31．How does Mabu help sick kids who forget to take pills?

32．What tasks can Toyota’s HSR robot do?
