阅读理解 New tech can save our lives During the novel coronavirus outbreak, hospitals all over China have used smart technology to care for patients and make work easier for doctors. The outbreak will help smart healthcare develop faster in China, according to Xinhua. Robots are being used to fight the virus. For example, medical workers at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen are using robots to do routine (常规的) medical tasks. Developed by Chinese AI company UBTech, these robots can offer medical advice, deliver (递送) medicines and disinfect (消毒) wards (病房) and other areas. They can also check temperatures, according to China Daily. Liu Yue, head of the hospital’s fever outpatient services (发热门诊), said the robots have made work much easier. “It greatly reduces our burden (负担), and it can also prevent us from missing infected patients,” Liu said. Remote (远程的) healthcare servicesIt can be dangerous for medical workers and patients to come into contact (接触) with each other. But with remote medical services, doctors at different hospitals can share photos and videos to come up with the best treatment. China’s three biggest telecom companies are providing hospitals across the country with 5G support. This allows them to transfer (传送) large amounts of data (数据) quickly. For example, on Feb 27, doctors in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou used 5G technology to treat a severely (严重地) ill 67-year-old patient in Wuhan, according to China Daily. By diagnosing (诊断) patients remotely, doctors can protect both themselves and their patients. AI makes work more efficient (高效的) AskBob is an AI-powered consultation (咨询) platform. Developed by Ping An Smart Healthcare, it can provide users with information about the virus, help people do medical self-checks, check their mental (心理的) health and choose the right face masks, according to China Daily.Ping An Smart Healthcare has also developed AI software that can read CT images and provide accurate (准确的) analyses (分析) to doctors. This can speed up the diagnostic process and allow doctors to give faster treatment.1.What did robots do during the epidemic?a. They delivered medicines.b. They disinfected wards.c.
