    As is known to all, art {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (influence) by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times.

    In the 5th century, the art of the Middle Ages came into being and the main aim of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (paint) was to represent religious themes. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a result, some pictures at this time were full of religious symbols, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (create) a feeling of respect and love for God. During the Renaissance, people began to concentrate {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (little) on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude {#blank#}6{#/blank#} life.

    The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to have control over our lives. We shop, work, play, search for information and seek {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (chat) with each other online. Yet people are not arguing about this astonishing condition. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) that people have readily embraced technology, seeking only the benefits but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (ignore) its drawbacks.

    It does not matter whether your home is in a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (noise) downtown or in the remote countryside. If you have a screen {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it can pick up a signal, your mind is still in the same placeless place.

    Recent developments in technology also led to a decline in normal social behaviors. In past ages, you could walk around town for a whole day without seeing all the people you know.

    The Financial Times gave part of my job to a robot named Amy last week. For years I have been making podcast version(播客)of my column, but now I am faced with a tough competition.

    To be fair, Amy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do) something going for her. She has a great voice, smooth as velvet. Her{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(two) advantage is that she's practically free. She is part of a new service from Amazon that turns text {#blank#}3{#/blank#}speech, costing-nearly nothing. Even more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (impress) is her speed. Less than two seconds after receiving my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write) text, which means when I just start to read, "Yesterday the Finan…", she has already finished.

    Yet once I got over my distress and listened to her work, I felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good). I know it's early days for her, but at the moment Amy is no match for me. Listening to her is not like listening to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} non-English speaker read aloud, but to someone without brain, or heart, or sense of humor. Her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (deliver) is so poor that I don't even understand. Amy never reads with understanding, never knows when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pause), and never does irony. She continues to get it wrong.

    Finally, I'm not afraid Amy is about to steal my job. Only people possess human touch. It is the heart-to-heart communication {#blank#}10{#/blank#} makes us special, beautiful and irreplaceable.

Digital technology is being increasingly adopted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (carry) out economic and social activities, and is deeply transforming production patterns and people's lifestyles. However, it is important that the adoption of digital technology in developing countries does not {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wide) the rich-poor gap. In China, e-commerce and poverty alleviation (扶贫) programs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (support) by big data have had positive effects on fighting poverty.

E-commerce (电子商务) promotes growth in incomes' for the poor. China has the world's fastest-growing e-commerce market, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} more than 40 percent of global e-commerce transactions (交易) take place. Many poor people have benefited {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the booming e-commerce industry. For example, in the past years, the National Rural E-commerce Comprehensive Demonstration Project {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (help) nearly 3 million poor families realize income growth. Besides, E-commerce platforms have greatly increased the possibility {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the small and micro businesses enter the market. Rural residents can now display {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) farm produce and handicrafts online and find buyers, thus increasing sales. Also, e-commerce drives the development of whole industrial chains, creating job opportunities and providing diverse options for rural labor.

Digital technology has been playing a positive role in China's poverty {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (reduce). Governments at all levels keep an open and encouraging attitude toward the development of the digital economy and much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (active) cooperate with digital companies to better identify and help the poor.
