Automatic dishwashers have been around for more than 100 years. It started in
1886 with Josephine Cochrane, a womanin Shelbyville, Illinois. She was a rich woman who could afford servants to wash her dishes, so she really didn
' t mind the work.
What she did mind was that her serva nts broke the dishes. She hosted quite a few dinner parties, and after every party the serva nts broke more of her expe nsive
dishes.
Fin ally, Cochra ne took acti on.
First, she measured her dishes and bent wire into
racks to hold them. Next, she put the racks on a wheel in a large copper boiler.
Then, the boiler sprayed hot, soapy water on the dishes as a motor turned the wheel. After a hot water rin se（
冲洗）,the dishes were clea n!
Josephine Cochrane ' s friends were impressed with the machine and asked her to build more. After that, word got out fast. Soon hotel a nd restaura nt owners who didn ' t like broken d ishes also were interested. Cochrane then knew that she had a won derful mach ine, so she received a pate nt from the gover nment, which said that only the inven tor can make money from an inven ti on. Then in 1893 Chicago held a World' s Fair where inventions from all over the world were shown. Cochrane labor-savi ng machi ne was a big hit. Her dishwasher won the highest award.
Cochra ne' s compa ny came out with a smaller mach ine in 1914. It was supposed
to be for the ordinary home, but it wasn' t an immediate success. Manyhomes couldn ' t produce the extremely hot water it needed. Also, in most homes, dishwashing wasn' t considered very difficult compared to most other housework. In fact somepeople liked to relax at the sink after a hard day! Sales of the home model fin ally picked up
in the 1950s whe n people had more money and wan ted to have more time to enjoy themselves. Now many homes have electric dishwashers that aren
from the one Joseph ine Cochra ne inven ted more tha n 100 years ago. 4. Why did Joseph ine Cochra ne invent the dishwasher? A. To reduce the nu mber of serva nts. B. To avoid possible damage to the dishes. C. To host more dinner parties. D. To make the dishes clea ner.
5. What does the un derl ined words in Paragraph 3 suggest? A. The machine wasn ' t a s efficient as described.
' t very different
' s
B. Josephi ne Cochra ne could no Ion ger keep it a secret.
C. Josephine ' s friends soon began to talk about the new machine. D. The invention drew immediate attention of the public. 6. The smaller mach ine became popular only when ___ . A. people ' s living conditions improved B. hot water was not n eeded C. housework became easier D. people had more relax ing jobs

For all the tech no logical won ders of moder n medici ne, health care-with its fax
machines and clipboards( 写字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificial-intelligenee revoluti on.
Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine,
thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abno rmalities or tur ning doctors' words into patie nt records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatme nts, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and mon ey.
The fear some people have is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine. If it gives a
“ gift of time ” to doctors, they argue
rather than simply speeding
