Today wheelchair basketball is a professional sport that offers more than 180 teams across the United States. In order to play wheelchair basketball，it is essential to have a lightweight wheelchair. Several sports wheelchairs are on the market today just for sports enthusiasts.Another wheelchair sport，quad rugby，was specifically designed for quadriplegics（脊髓受伤的病人）unable to play wheelchair basketball.

Equipped with cameras，a screen and microphone，the robot is guided into the rooms of Dr Alex Gandsas patients where he speaks to them as if he were right there.“The system allows you to be anywhere in the hospital from anywhere in the world，” said the surgeon，who specializes in weightloss operation.Besides his normal morning and afternoon personal visits，Gandsas uses the $150,000 robot to visit patients at night or when problems arise. The robot can circle the bed and adjust the position of its two cameras，giving the perception（观察） from the patients standpoint that the doctor is there.“They love it. Theyd rather see me through the robot，” he said of his patients reaction to the machine. Nurse Florence Ford，who has worked with the robot since it was introduced about 18 months ago，said patients have reacted well，particularly because “seeing the doctors face gives them confidence.”Gandsas presented the idea to hospital leaders as a method to more closely observe patients following weightloss operation. Since its introduction，Dr Alex found that nearly one third of his 376 patients went out of hospital earlier than first expected.Michael Chan，president of In Touch Technologies，said his companys device allows doctors to “be in more than one place at the same time.”Speaking with Gandsas through one of the robots at company headquarters（总部），Chan said the company designs applications for the devices in remote areas and for dealing with shortages of health care workers.“They will soon be big，”said Chan when asked about their future.5According to the passage，which of the following statements of the robot is Correct?AIt has replaced Dr Alex to visit his patients every day.BThe patients would rather have it treat their diseases.CIt has reduced the duty that doctors should have for their patients.DPatients are likely to be treated even when doctors are far away.6By using robots，Dr Alex finds that _.Apatients visited by robots may recover completely soonerBthe number of patients in his hospital is reducing a lotChe can operate on different patients at the same timeDtheir hospital doesnt need as many medical workers as before7From the last sentence，we can learn that Michael Chan thinks that _.Apeople wont believe robots will do well in the futureBin the future bigger robots will be made to satisfy the needsCmore robots of this kind will be used in hospitalsDthe prices of the robots will be greatly reduced in the future8What would be the best title of the passage?ARobot Replaces Doctors to Treat PatientsBRobot Visits Patients When Doctors CantCHightech Makes Patients Better Communicate with DoctorsDRobot Has Begun to Play a Great Part in Hospital ManagementCTheres no end of dangerous sports to try out in Southern Africabungee jumping, skydiving, water rafting. But for a new rush, how about swimming face to face with a killer shark（鲨鱼）？The public seems interested in seeking excitement in this activity. Cape Towns aquarium has been filled with divers who want to swim with the sharks since it opened its tanks to paying visitors last month. Around 70 tourists aged between 12 and 40 have paid 275 rand（55） each to spend up to an hour with Maxine, Dee and Floyd. And conservationists（自然环境保护论者）say the project should help change the damage done to the sharks image by the popular movie Jaws. “People will always pay money to be a bit daring（胆大的）, ”said Paul Loetter, an aquarium diver. “Most people think every shark is dangerous, but theyve got the wrong idea. ”Each visitor can swim with the sharks and other fish that share their tank, guarded by aquarium divers armed only with a stick to keep off any over-friendly sharks. “This is part of a communicational and educational programme to show sharks are not as bad as everyone makes out, ” said Tony McGyre, operational manager of the aquarium. Len Compagno, head of the South African shark research centre, agreed. “Its no joke to play around with a big dog. In the same way, a three-metre-long shark could put a few holes in you, ” he said. 9. We may infer that in the movie Jaws _.
