(江苏省镇江一中2022-2023学年高二下学期期末)I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have
arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room. There, a robotic nurse___41___ me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the ___42___, who is also a robot. He notes down my ___43___ and gives me a prescription. I pay for my visit using a credit card and return home without having met another human being. This is my nightmarish vision of the ___44___, which at least hasn’t happened yet. I should say I really do like many aspects of ___45___. I enjoy the ___46___ brought by the air conditioning in summer and heaters in winter. But I am writing this because I don’t want machines to ___47___.
When I call my dentist’s office and actually get a human being on the line, I am ___48___. And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting, “When it comes to cashiers, make mine a(n) ___49___, please!”
After all, human cashiers sometimes give a store discount coupon to you for items you are ___50___. Even more than that, real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can ___51___ young mothers’ day. A cashier may also show sympathy for an elderly person ___52___ to get that last penny out of his
purse.
Machines can be ___53___ and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine. ___54___, they lack an element so important to everyday life.
Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It is something no machine will ever have. It is human being that ___55___ us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment.
