25、ges the stores beer and wine department. So, during one overnight shift, she went out to a nearby arts and craft store, brought back a large pair of googly eyes (塑料眼睛) and, when no one was looking, fixed them on the top of the robot. The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Del
26、haize. They are now a standard feature on the companys nearly 500 robots across the United States. How this supermarket robot got its funny eyes touches on a serious question: Will robots with friendly faces and cute names help people feel good about devices that are taking over an increasing amount
27、 of human work? Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms.

D Search online “work too much” and youll get screenfuls of information about the harmful medical, mental and social consequences of
34、spending too much time on the job. However, under current circumstances, the old saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” should be “makes Jack a dead boy.” A latest study by W.H.O. says that working 55 or more hours a week is a “serious health risk.” It estimates that long working hours
35、 led to 745,000 deaths worldwide in 2016, a 29 percent increase over 2000.

These figures make
36、long working hours the biggest work-related health risk of all.
