French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.

The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people have difficulty expressing themselves with words. 【小题1】 Art therapy (疗法) is built on the belief that everyone is creative and has the ability for self-expression.

【小题2】 As a practice to help you become healthier it allows people to express themselves by drawing and painting without saying anything. Even a 30-minute creative activity can change a person’s mental state (精神状态). Working with an experienced doctor of art therapy does even more. 【小题3】

Young children usually draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, are often more worried about art and art making. They begin to worry about the quality of their art instead of self-expression itself. 【小题4】 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically fantastic, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.

What are art therapy’s superpower? It can lead and change dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For example, people who are physically more likely to use violence (暴力) might let out their anger by hitting another human being. 【小题5】 These artistic choices satisfy the brain’s strong wish for new things without hurting personal safety.
