密云区2014高考英语阅读理解系列训练（25）及答案 PONTIAC，Mich.(AP)—When a patient arrives at an emergency room with a stroke，doctors must act fast.But the important decisions that can prevent death are harder to make without a neurologist(神经病学家)，and not every hospital has one on call.Starting next month，however,21 Michigan hospitals will have what is being used as the next best thing: a robot on call. The project is one of several around the country in which stroke specialists from one hospital are using technology to share their knowledge.Experts say it’s a trend that could greatly improve patients’ chances of recovery. The new program will make the Pontiac hospital’s specialists available(可得到的) around the clock to any hospital in the state that joins.The on-call specialist will use a computer and the Internet to connect to a robot in the participating(参与) hospital to join the attending doctor at the patient’s bedside. When they’re on call，from any library or in their home，through Internet，we can in fact have a doctor.That’s a better choice than immediately putting the patient in an ambulance or a helicopter to travel to a better-equipped hospital.Such travel could delay treatment，in addition to being costly. Similar telemedicine programs for stroke treatment are being developed in Alaska，Colorado，Georgia，and so on.But Albers，whose center does not run a telemedicine program，said he would want to see the results of ongoing studies. The RP-7 robots are about 5 feet tall and have a screen for a head，on which the doctor operating it on the other end is seen.With the technology already in place，the network will soon be used for other specialties as well.This is absolutely the wave of the future. 1．What would be the best title for the text?
