　　You'll see a new doctor at a hospital near London if you go there He is very clever, but he never speaks and doesn't go to medical school．He can work 24 hours and never be tired．He is one metre tall with a face like a TV screen．He has no arms or legs, although he has a lot of buttons(按钮)and switches．The new doctor is, of course, a computer．Doctors often need to ask their patients about their health in the past．But busy doctors can only spend a few minutes with each patient．The new machine, however, can ask a patient questions for an hour if necessary．So when the doctor meets his patient he already has a lot of helpful information．

　　Several clinics and hospitals in Britain are using these computers now．The computers show each question on TV screen．Then the patient pushes one of the three buttons：“Yes”,“No”, or“I don't know”．The computer is really quiet human．If a very personal question is asked, it will be followed by“I hope these questions aren't upsetting(使……烦恼)you．”Or if you answer“No”to the question“Is your father alive”, the machine will reply“I am sorry to hear that．”

　　Most patients like the metal doctor．Some patients even prefer it．They can answer very personal questions more comfortably．

　　There are plans for better computers－perhaps ones that can speak．But the machine will never do the doctor's job．They will help doctors to give their patients better service．

　　Ding－Dong!

　　“Jason, honey? Can you answer the door? ”

　　“I am busy, mom! ” Jason shouted back at his mother．He had spent three hours so far working to this point in the game．He couldn'stop now．

　　Ding－Dong! Mom's footsteps approached the front door．

　　“Jason, it'your friend Todd．” Mom called from the doorway．

　　Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room．“Jason! I need a partner for playing basketball．” He sounded excited．

　　Jason snorted．“No way, Todd．I'm playing a game here．”

　　Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away, “I almost died because of you! ”

　　Todd looked at Jason's mother．Jason'mother looked back at him．They both looked at Jason．“Why don't you play basketball with your friend? ” Jason'mother suggested．

　　“Tomorrow, maybe…” There were more levels to beat tomorrow, though, Maybe he had played tomorrow．He had have to see what mood he was in．He thought he heard footsteps walking away, but he was too busy beating the next level to care．

　　An hour later, Jason'father came home．It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down．Jason didn't even hear his name being called to the table．He didn't hear his father walk at behind him and ask him to turn the game off, either．

　　When the screen suddenly went black and his father'angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally heard．“No more game for a month．” Jason's father shouted at him．“You don't play basketball, you don't come to dinner, and you don't do your chores．We'll make some everything else gets done before you play any more．”

　　Jason nodded slowly．He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been palying quite a bit．It was fun, but he was letting down his friends, his family, and himself by paying too much．

　　He'd try harder in the future．

阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama's “back to school” speech．Here is an excerpt(摘录)from his speech．

　　I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work-that your ticket to success is through pop music or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things．

　　But the truth is, being successful is hard．You won't love every subject you study．Not all the homework will seem rather important to your life right this minute．And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try．

　　That's OK．Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures(the opposite of success)．JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out．Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots(投篮)during his career．But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life．And that is why I succeed．”

　　These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures beat(打败)you-you have to let them teach you．You have to let them show you what to do differently next time．

　　No one's born being good at things．You become good at things through hard work．

　　Don't be afraid to ask questions．Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it．I do that every day．Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength．It shows you have the courage to tell when you don't know something, and to learn something new．

　　And even when you’re struggling(奋斗), even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel other people have given up on you－don't ever give up on yourself．Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country．
