A
(2017·河南郑州模拟)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 directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription (处方). I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line, I am thrilled. And when I see the introduction of yet more selfservice checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting,“When it comes to cashiers, make mine human, please!”
After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon(优惠券) for items you are buying.
