  A few years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies (公司) in the world and the third owned many highrises in the center of New York.

  The reporter was talking to them about being important.

  “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

  The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anyone who is invited to the White House to meet the President (总统) of the United States is really important. ”

  The reporter turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

  The owner of the very large company shook her head. “No,” she said, “I don't. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'll only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another great country, and the President of the United States said he was too busy to answer it. ”

  The reporter turned to the person who owned many highrises. “Do you agree with that?”

  “No, I don't,” he said. “I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ”

  “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter asked. “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked it up, listened and then said, ‘it's for you. ’ That's really important. ”

True or False?

1.A reporter of a newspaper was talking to three of the most important people in America.

2.They were talking about who was the most important among them.

3.The banker thought he himself was really important.

4.The owner of a large company thought that the President of the U. S. would not answer the phone if he had a really important visitor.

5.The owner of many large highrises thought an important person would phone many important people at the White House.

6.All the three persons agreed that important persons should have something to do with the President.

  French doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside the operating room.This kind of operation is known as robotic operation

  Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

  A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready.He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area.Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen.Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder(胆囊)away.The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

  Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot.Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tools quickly.

  Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation.For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can.A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

  Doctors say such a robotic operation will make possible safer and better operations in the future.They say it will improve doctor training.It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away.And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where doctors work.
