 根据短文内容,回答问题

Do you think there will be a robot in hospitals? If you go to a hospital in London, you'll see a new doctor there. He is very clever. He can work 24 houts a day and never gets tired. He is Dr Robot. 

Doctors often need to ask their patients a lot of questions, and it always takes them a lot of time to do that. But Dr Robot can ask patients questions for an hour if it is necessary. With the help of Dr Robot, a human doctor can have a lot of useful information when he meets his patients. 

How can Dr Robot do this? A computer "tells" him what to do. Dr Robot can do a lot of things that people can do, though he can't completely replace human doctors. 

(1)、How many hours can Dr Robot work a day?
(2)、What do doctors often need to do?
(3)、What can a human doctor have with the help of Dr Robot?
(4)、How can Dr Robot do those things?
(5)、Can Dr Robot completely replace human doctors?

    In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children's money-management skills. Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐); household shopping was done online; the children rarely saw their parents handling cash. They were spending online, too. Money had become intangible. How, then, were children to learn its value?

The answer they came up with was GoHenry, an app now available in America as well as Britain. It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities. Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of £2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over. Adults and children download separate versions. Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount. Parents can see what the child has bought and where. And they can choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name. They can put money in savings pots, view their spending and balances, and set savings targets. "They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time, or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18," says Dean Brauer, one of GoHenry's founders. "The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal."

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money. According to the latest research, more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children. And yet most agree that children's attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money. Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child's future. Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up; others that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending. Even though young people no longer touch and hold money, they can still be taught to handle it well.
