There, a robotic nurse __1__ me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the __2__， who is also a robot. He notes down my __3__ and gives me a prescription (处方). I pay for my __4__ using a credit card and return home without having met another human being. This is my nightmarish (噩梦般的) vision of the __5__， which hasn’t happened __6__ yet.

I should say I really do like many aspects of __7__. I am a big fan of air conditioning in summer and heaters in __8__. But I am writing this because I don’t want machines to __9__.

When I call my dentist’s office and actually get a human being on the line, I am __10__. And when I see the introduction of yet more self­service checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like __11__，“When it comes to cashiers, make mine a(n) __12__， please！”

After all, human cashiers sometimes __13__ you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are __14__. Even more than that, real­life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can __15__ young mothers’ day. A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person __16__ to get that last penny out of his purse.

Machines can be __17__ and cost­effective and they often get the job done just fine. __18__ they lack an element so important to everyday life.

Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It is __19__ no machine will ever have. It is human being that __20__ us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment.
