Reading Comprehension

Read the text below aloud.

Recently, robots have become more integrated into healthcare, particularly in assisting people with disabilities. These robots are designed to provide support in various aspects of daily life, from helping with to offering companionship. For individuals with physical disabilities, robots can perform tasks that might otherwise be impossible. For example, robots help people with walk again by providing external support to their limbs, while robotic arms assist those with limited movement in tasks like eating or dressing. These advancements bring hope and new possibilities, but also raise important ethical questions. One concern is . As robots become more advanced, they may take over tasks that are traditionally done by human caregivers. While this can increase efficiency and help those with disabilities live more independently, it also raises questions about human connection. Can robots replace the emotional support and understanding provided by human caregivers? Some argue that while robots can perform physical tasks, they cannot offer the same level of empathy and emotional care that people need.
