As a student at a medical school, Sam thinks poetry is a big part of his life, thanks to his new
teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work. Rafael
is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter with my patients. If we do anything when we' re with our
patients, we're really immersed in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's
what a poem does, ” he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education
today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing
workshop for medical students and residents. He thinks medical training focuses too much on
distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think
there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I
think that is because there's just so much pow- er in doctors and patients interacting when patients
are at their saddest moments. ” Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession,
as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of
treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The
family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer. Don't wve still have a role
as healers there?”
In a poem titled “Health", Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless
by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing
poems, his own brand of medicine.
4. What does the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Committed. B. Forced. C. Persuaded. D. Absorbed.
5. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?
A. It has nothing to do with doctors.
B. It is mostly produced by doctors.
C. It contributes to medical work.
D. It keeps doctors away from patients.
6. Which words can best describe Rafael Campo?
A. Capable and responsible.
B. Gifted but overconfident.
C. Honest and modest.
D. Cold but respected.
C
This year, new technologies will enable more drivers to take their hands off the steering
wheel（方向盘）while on the road. But that doesn’t mean their cars will be fully self-driving-that
day still remains far in the future.
Automakers like General Motors （GM）, Ford and Stellates are introducing, or upgrading
existing technologies. But in the words of Kay Stepper, an automated driving expert, these
systems are “feet off' and “hands off”, but they will not be“eyes off' or “mind off'.
For the time being, these systems will only be used on limited-access highways, where there
are no pedestrians （ 行人）or bicyclists. Vehicles with this technology will be able to drive at
relatively high speeds, but only in simple traffic situations.
Bryan Reimer, a researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Age Lab, said it
will be decades before people can buy truly self-driving cars in which humans ride as passengers.
Still, the technology that will be rolled out by the major automakers this year will do more
than most so-called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, do now.
GM's Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go off the steering wheel while
driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was
discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV
and the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans.
Super Cruise only works on highways that have been previously laser-mapped in three
dimensions. GPS positioning and the vehicles' radar sensors and cameras are used to enable
drivers to unhand all the controls.
Drivers still need to pay attention, however. A camera in the car makes sure the driver is
looking at the road at all times. If the driver looks away from the road for more than a few
seconds, the system will stop working.
7. At present, what can the self-driving cars do?
A. They can drive freely on city streets.
B. They can run without human drivers.
C. They handle complex（复杂的）road conditions on their own.
