3、y says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”“We dont sell a miracle here, child.

8、ndrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought BGetting stitched (缝合) up by Dr. Robot may one day become a reality. Scientists have created a robotic system which did operations on living animals without a real doctor pulling the strings(线n.). Much like engineers are designing self-driving cars,

9、the medical research is part of a move toward autonomous surgical robots, removing the surgeons hands from certain tasks that a machine might perform all by itself.Doctors wouldnt leave the bedside. Theyre supposed to watch. Plus theyd handle the rest of the surgery. In small tests using pigs, the r

The purpose wasnt to replace surgeons, said Dr. Kim who led the project.If you have an intelligent tool that works with a surgeon, can it improve the outcom

11、e? Thats what we have done.If youve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system, you might think robots have already started operating. Not really. Today many hospitals offer robot-assisted surgery where surgeons use the machinery as tools that they control by hand to operate through tiny

12、openings in the body. But robot-assisted surgery has been controversial, as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outcomes.Kims team, the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, invented a new STAR (Smart TissueAutonomous Robot) system which worked sort o

13、f like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasnt perfect. In the operations on the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sewing by hand made none. Kim said

16、Robot can free doctors hands in the operation.C Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He ca

17、n get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the

18、Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing basebal

19、l long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forg

20、et rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.
