As robots take on ever more comp

27、lex roles, the question naturally 26 : Who will be responsible when they do something wrong? Manufacturers? Users?Software writers? The answer depends on the robot.Robots already save us time, money and energy. In the future, they will improve our health care, social welfare and standard of living.

32、, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questi

33、ons by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Reform and Medical CostsA Americans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums. They need to know if reform will help solve the problem. The answer is that no one has an easy fix for risi

34、ng medical costs. The fundamental fixreshaping how care is delivered and how doctors are paid in a wasteful, abnormal systemis likely to be achieved only through trial and error and incremental (渐进的)gains.B The good news is that a bill just approved by the House and a bill approved by the Senate Fin

35、ance Committee would implement or test many reforms that should help slow the rise in medical costs over the long term. As a report in The New England Journal of Medicine concluded, Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the health policy literature these days is contained in these measures.

36、,C Medical spending, which typically rises faster than wages and the overall economy, is propelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical services in this country and the volume of unnecessary care delivered by doctors and hospitals, which often perform a lot more tests and treatments th

37、an a patient really needs.D Here are some of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills to try to address those problems, and why it is hard to know how well they will work.E Both bills would reduce the rate of growth in annual Medicare payments to hospitals, nursing homes and other provi

38、ders by amounts comparable to the productivity savings routinely made in other industries with the help of new technologies and new ways to organize work. This proposal could save Medicare more than $100 billion over the next decade. If private plans demanded similar productivity savings from provid

39、ers, and refused to let providers shift additional costs to them, the savings could be much larger. Critics say Congress will give in to lobbyists and let inefficient providers off the hook （放过）. That is far less likely to happen if Congress also adopts strong pay-go rules requiring that any increas

40、e in payments to providers be offset by new taxes or budget cuts.F The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax （消费税）on health insurance plans that cost more than $8,000 for an individual or $ 21,000 for a family. It would most likely cause insurers to redesign plans to fall beneath the thresh

41、old. Enrollees would have to pay more money for many services out of their own pockets, and that would encourage them to think twice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it. Economists project that most employers would shift money from expensive health benefits into wages. The Hous

42、e bill has no similar tax. The final legislation should.G Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients who have tried to understand their own parade of statements, know that simplification ought to save money. When the health insurance industry was still coope

43、rating in reform efforts, its trade group offered to provide standardized forms for automated processing. It estimated that step would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. The bills would lock that pledge into law.H The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient

44、, paper-driven medical system to electronic records that can be easily viewed and transmitted. This requires open investments to help doctors convert. In time it should help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests, preventing drug interactions, and helping doctors find the best treatments.I Vi

45、rtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service systemdoctors are rewarded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectivenessis a primary reason that the cost of care is so high. Most agree that the solution is to push doctors to accept fixed payments to care for a particular illne

46、ss or for a patients needs over a year. No one knows how to make that happen quickly. The bills in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare. They include such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a patients needs with an eye on both cost and quality, and chronic

47、 disease management to make sure the seriously ill, who are responsible for the bulk of all health care costs, are treated properly. For the most part, these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctors to try them.J Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identified and expanded and the bad ones are dropped. The Senate bill would create an independent commission to monitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicares payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms that work. The changes would have to be approved or rejected as a whole by Congress
