Dr. Ge Yun has helped many kids who were born with defects (缺陷), {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (include) me. She did my first two operations when I was a baby, which were the most important and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (effect) ones.

    I don't remember the first two operations very well {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I do recall the third. Dr. Ge Yun was kind and eased me into the process. She tried everything she could {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make)sure that I was okay. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (recent)saw a picture of me before my operation, and I knew what a big job she did.

    Dr. Ge Yun operates {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people with all types of birth defects. She also goes to other countries {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people cannot afford the treatment and helps them for free. Many people benefit from her new ways {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (invent)to fix birth defects of the head and face. She {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (win)many awards so far.

    Though I was just one of the patients to her, to me she was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much)that just my doctor. She was and is my hero, and she returned the smile to me.

    It was a sunny day. A little boy's father was sitting on the couch, drinking a beer, while {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (watch) a basket match. Seeing this, the boy rushed to his father and shouted, “Daddy, Daddy, show me how to play catch!” The father, staring {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  the television screen, replied, “Let me finish watching {#blank#}3{#/blank#} match. Play outside and come back in five minutes.”

    “Okay, Daddy!” said the boy, running out of the room. Five minutes later, the boy returned, screaming , “Daddy, let's go. Let's play catch now !”

    By this time, the father had opened another cold beer and another match was beginning.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (patient) with the boy's interruption, the dad brought a magazine to his son. On the cover of the magazine was a large picture of the world. The father, who{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bother) and angry, began tearing the magazine cover into small {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Then, the father turned to his boy and said, “Son, once you put this picture back together, we can play catch,  but do not interrupt me again{#blank#}7{#/blank#} you finish.”

    A few minutes later, the boy returned and said, “I{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (finish), Daddy! Can we play catch now?” Surprised, the father glanced towards his child, and there lay the magazine with the world together. The dad asked his child{#blank#}9{#/blank#} he put the world together so quickly.

    “{#blank#}10{#/blank#} was simple,” said the boy. “On the back of the world was the picture of a person, and once I put the person together, that's when the world came together. ”

    Domestic robots such as the Roomba have already established themselves in the marketplace. Common household appliances such as toasters and microwaves {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(fit) with microprocessors, effectively making them robots, which are bound to do as ordered. The military has begun automating (自动化) many of its frontline systems. The future is wide open for more exploration of these{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(device).

    Automatic factories were some of the first to implement (实施，运用) robotics on the assembly line, performing tasks too dangerous or delicate for humans{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(accomplish). This has continued with whole factories{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(begin) to be automated. IBM has instituted a “lights off' factory in Texas that is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(complete) automated. Recently Caterpillar{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(announce) plans to operate robotic heavy machinery by 2021, and has already begun transferring much of their crane operations to remote-controlled robots{#blank#}7{#/blank#}obey the orders from computer directions. The medical industry has taken advantage {#blank#}8{#/blank#}robotic surgery assistants for years, most notably the Da Vinci surgical (外科的) helper. With rising health care costs{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the increasing needs of an aging population, hospitals are planning vast expansion in the areas of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(talent) robotics.
