More than 90% of Microsofts 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by th

23、e new measures, according to the company. By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.Japan has long battled with a cruel and in some cases, deadly culture of overwork.

And it is the appropriate time, argues Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease.He thinks AI will particularly serve the needs of repetitive tasks where errors arise easily, such as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors words into

32、 patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money.Much of this is imaginary but AI is defeating people in a variety of narrow jobs for which it has been trained. Eventually it

33、 may be able to diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. As health swallows an ever- bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of aging and growing populations.However, the fear some people have is th

34、at AI will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine. If it gives a “gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently. Hopefully, Dr. Topol thinks, humans would watch over the r

35、ules, rather than being replaced by them.The Hippocratic Oath（誓言）holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeons knife or the chemists drug”. That is not just a cliche（老生常谈）: the patients of sympathetic physicians ha

36、ve been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human careers fails to satisfy the demand for heath care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by robots. The considerately warm stethoscope（听诊器）placed gently on a patients back may become a history of th

AI will bring warmth, sympathy and understanding to patients34. What is Dr Topols attitude towards AIs coming into medicine?A. C

39、oncerned. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.35. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Health care and AI B. AI and its applications C. Doctors and patients D.

40、d you are, your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss, peers, clients and customers consider your communication and responses. 36 Psychological research repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help or disturb you based on whether they like you or

41、not. 37 What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want. Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five

42、minutes or less of meeting someone. 38 Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions. 39 Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself me
