Doctors in remote areas can buy emergency medical supplies and first aid kits（用品）required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores.Many operations have been performed successfully through remote medicine. Sometimes it is not financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment. Thanks to remote medicine, people in remote areas can get treatment from experts without travelling.With a lack of specialists in many remote areas across the globe, remote medicine provides a helping hand in treating patients in great danger. Putting this technology into practice requires people in remote areas to have emergency medical kits and emergency medical supplies to treat patients.

What people should do to live longerBAccording to a study by SallieMae, 84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards, and by the time they are seniors, they have accumulated US4,100 in debt, on top of whatever student loans they may have taken out. Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment, and they are aggressively marketed to college students. Reportedly, a typical college student carries 4.6 credit cards and US3,173 in credit card debt. Credit cards seem to be a fact of life, not just student life. In the long term, using a credit card properly and paying off the balance can help establish a card history and increase your credit score, which will come in handy when you need an important loan, for a house or car, for example. Your credit score can affect even unrelated things like insurance rates. Credit cards also offer more protection for users than debit cards （借记卡）.Under federal law, the credit card holder is only responsible for the first US50 in fraudulent(欺诈的)purchases in cases of theft or loss. However, debit card users are responsible for the first US500. SallieMae found some good news in the fact that two thirds of students had discussed credit issues with their parents, but 84 percent said they needed more information. Those who didnt get any guidance were more likely to be surprised when they found out how much they owed. While credit cards offer the easiest access to money, they make it easy to live outside your means. Less than a fifth of students surveyed paid off their balance every month, and carrying a balance brings finance charges, sometimes at a very high interest rates. SallieMae found that almost 40 percent of students chose their first credit card based on direct mail, which is probably why students get credit card offers in the mail. But when the credit card offers flow in, be sure that you read the fine print. Offers of low or no interest rates can disappear, leaving you a debt that climbs beyond your ability to pay it off. 61. What does the first paragraph imply? A. Most of the senior students are shocked to see how much they owed. B. Students can only take out loans from credit cards. C. Most of students loans come from credit cards. D. Credit cards have a bad effect on college students. 62. The underlined part “come in handy” in the third paragraph probably means “_”. A. bring trouble B. make mistakes C. be important D. be useful 63. According to SallieMae, what is the possible reason why students get so many credit card offers in the mail? A. Many students first credit card is based on direct mail. B. It costs the banks little to mail out credit cards. C. Students dont like to go to the bank to open a credit card account. D. Banks have no other way to let students use their credit cards. 64. What is the theme of the third paragraph? A. The advantages of using debit cards. B. The similarities between credit cards and debit cards. C. The advantages of using credit cards. D. Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment. 65. According to SallieMae, how many students had not discussed credit issues with their parents. A. 1/3 B. 2/3 C. 1/4 D. 3/4C It can greet people, show DVDs and hand out balloons. “Ubiko”, a robot-on wheels with a catlike face, is joining the crew of temporary workers supplied by a Japanese job-referral company, Ubiquitous Exchange, to stores, events and even weddings. Next month, the 44-inch tall robot will be selling mobile phones at a store. Ubiko can be hired as a temporary worker for two hours for 105,000 yen, or $890. “We see this as serious business. There are jobs that robots are better at,” Akiko Sakurai said “people do develop a relation with the robot, and its lovable.” The $255,000 robot, which is equipped with a camera and sensors, greets customers with a nasal electronic voice, shows DVDs with a projector in its head and hands out balloons and other goods with wireless remote-controllable arms. Ubiko sounds like a Japanese female name, which often ends with “ko”. Tmsuk, the Japanese company that makes the robot, sold three last month to hospital, where they are working as full-time, rather than temporary, receptionists and guides. One of the hospitals robots serves as a receptionist and has been programmed to greet visitors. It also has a touch-panel(控制板) on its body, and visitors can use it to get directions for where they want to go. “Just give it electricity, and a robot can work for long hours, even do repetitive work, and you dont have to worry about labor laws,” Sudo said.Japans lower birth rate means that in the coming years it could face a labor shortage, and some experts believe robots could be part of the key to that problem.
