Healthcare staff and bank clerks have been on the front line of the health and economic crises striking the UK but behind the scenes another group of workers robots have been toiling away and overcoming both emergencies with no fear of COVID19 But will COVID19 speed up the rise of robots
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software that robotizes repetitive backoffice tasks The National Health Service (NHS) has used it during the widespread disease to con trol demand and capacity planning in caring for all levels of patients day and night Jason Kingdon Blue Prism＇s new chief executive who is recovering from CO VID19 says Before RPA these were manual processes You had to train a number of staff to put them in place Now you only need to train a single robot to manage the administration More than two fifths of bosses across 45 countries that responded to a survey by EY (Ernst & Young) said they were planning on accelerating spending on automation technology to prepare for a post Covid world
COVID19 has already left tens of millions unemployed so firms won＇t be short of cheap labour on the other side of the crisis But experts still think Al will be the more cautious choice for companies One of them said It＇s important to remember that even in China which has much lower wages 125 million manufacturing jobs have been cut over the past four years as more robots have been adopted
However Al is overhyped (分提倡)in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation Again we should think of history as a guide A lot of workers riots(暴动) in the early 19th century happened during the continental blockade of the Napoleonic Wars when there was significant mess to trade in Britain These things are not unrelated

After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’ s desire
Now the most important question comes what to do with the earnings Should you fulfill dreams of the present invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now but it will not always be so One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds Save for those rainy days they say Do not spend too much live within a budget refrain from credit no matter how small and save for the future
Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary the lessons start In fact the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money
People often think like this — one day when I have enough money I will travel the world Then once we do earn enough money tomorrow’ s plans start shadowing our present ones However is it wise to keep living for that future Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future

Digital devices are great but they can also be annoying when it comes to writing or drawing Most of the time you must rely on your fingertips to do the typing or drawing for you and what you wanted to write or draw might not come out the way you imagined A new pen called Phree created by Israeli company called OTM Technologies aims to change the dependency that most of us have when it comes to writing or drawing in digital form
The Phree pen looks a lot like a regular pen in both size and shape The difference is that you can use the Phree pen to write on any surface (from a table to a wall) and then transfer that writing directly to your target device
Phree uses a sensor called a 3D laser interferometer (激光干涉仪) The laser beams are projected (投影) on the surface and they will be reflected back to the interferometer By analyzing these beams’ tracks the laser interferometer measures the hand motion while writing
The pen connects with your phone via a Bluetooth Phree can be used to take notes using various applications on the target device The notes will appear on the target device whenever you open it You can even receive write and send text messages using the device display (显示装置) and it can function as an earphone Phree can also be used as a regular computer mouse whenever it is connected to a target device The device can also be used as ID equipment as it can precisely analyze the way a person writes
We see Phree as a standard input device in the mobile world in the same way the mouse became a standard part of PC use We also see benefits to emerging technologies like AR and VR headsets interactive TV and IoT (Internet of Things ) Gilad Lederer cofounder of OTM Technologies said
1 What inspires the OTM Technologies to create Phree
A Drawing pictures in a better way
B People’s relying too much on typing
C Making digital devices less annoying
D The inconvenience of data input using fingertips
2 How does Phree measure the movement of hands
A By sending out laser lines
B By connecting with the Bluetooth
C By analyzing the reflection lines of lasers
D By checking the writing ways of certain person
3 What can we infer about Phree from paragraph 4
A It can identify people
B It can connect to the Internet
C It can be used as a remote control
D It can function as a device display
4 What will Phree be like in Lederer’s opinion
A It will create more new technologies
B It will be widely used in many areas
C It will be the best tool to write letters
D It will take the place of the mouse of PC

3D printing is becoming more and more popular We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers But can you imagine printing food
Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food inks’ into the printer You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment There would be less need for traditional growing transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient For example alternative ingredients (原料) such as proteins from algae beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder) They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them
However some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster It could take away many jobs including those fro growing transporting and packaging food Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw food ink Likewise traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business Also there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from foodbased inks and gels (凝胶)
What’s more cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button
1 Which of the following best describes 3D food printing
A Quick and popular B Easy and efficient
C Nutritious and tasty D Soft and convenient
2 Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster
A Traditional food would disappear
B Many people could lose their jobs
C It would affect the people’s health
D We could all eat the same food
3 What can we infer from the last paragraph
A 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking
B The future of 3D food printing is uncertain
C It would hurt our tradition of food culture
D 3D food printing would be a failure
4 Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A 3D food printing coming to the kitchen

Squirrels aren’t natural city dwellers (居民)In 1856 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised passersby that a newspaper published a report about the unusual visitor
Around that timethe treedwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Bensonwho studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years
First they were introduced to Philadelphiathen to New HavenBostonand New York CityPark visitors were encouraged to feed themand security guards ensured their safetyIn the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America (an organization teaching boys practical skills) said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathysays Benson
By the early 20th centurythoughAmerica began to regret the friendliness it had shown squirrelsCities had once been filled with animals — from horses pulling goods to dairy cowsBy the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countrysidePets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom
Before longpeople’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore offand they started to see them as annoyances (讨厌东西)By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creaturesTodayit is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a treeAndunfortunatelywith more and more buildings being constructed in the cityfewer inhabitable areas are left for the little treedwelling animals
What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us says BensonIt’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunchIt’s good for the soul
1Why were squirrels introduced to Philadelphia
ATo entertain park visitors
BTo keep the natural balance
CTo encourage kids to protect animals
DTo make the urban life more peaceful
2What was the Boy Scout leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels
ADisagreeable BDoubtful CSupportive DUncaring
3What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s
AThey might have inhabited more homes
BThey might have begun to go out of favor
CThey might have been introduced to more cities
DThey might have been moved to the countryside
4What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph
ASquirrels living in cities are annoying
BFeeding squirrels should be discouraged
CSquirrels should be allowed to live in cities
DIt is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets

By the early 20th centurythoughAmerica began to regret the friendliness it had shown squirrelsCities had once been filled with animals — from horses pulling goods to dairy cowsBy the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countrysidePets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom
Before longpeople’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore offand they started to see them as annoyances (讨厌东西)By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creaturesTodayit is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a treeAndunfortunatelywith more and more buildings being constructed in the cityfewer inhabitable areas are left for the little treedwelling animals
What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us says BensonIt’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunchIt’s good for the soul
