But like many cures, this solution has come with an unintended side effect: doctors and nurses can be focused on the screen and not the patient, even during moments of critical care. A poll showed that half of medical technicians had admitted texting during a procedure. This phenomenon has set off an intensifying discussion at hospitals and medical schools about a problem perhaps best described as “distracted doctoring.” In response, some hospitals have begun limiting the use of electronic devices in critical settings, while schools have started reminding medical students to focus on patients instead of devices. “You justify carrying devices around the hospital to do medical records, but you can surf the Internet or do Facebook, and sometimes Facebook is more tempting,” said Dr. Peter Papadakos at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “My gut feeling (本能的感觉) is lives are in danger,” said Dr. Papadakos. “We’re not educating people about the problem, and it’s getting worse.” A survey of 439 medical technicians found that 55 percent of technicians who monitor bypass machines acknowledged that they had talked on cellphones during heart surgery. Half said they had texted while in surgery. The study concluded, “Such distractions have the potential to be disastrous.” Medical professionals have always faced interruptions from cellphones, and multitasking is simply a fact of life for many medical jobs. What has changed, say doctors, especially younger ones, is that they face increasing pressure to interact with their devices. The pressure stems from a mantra (信条) of modem medicine that patient care must be “data driven,” and informed by the latest, instantly accessible information. By many accounts, the technology has helped reduce medical error by providing instant access to patient data or prescription details. Dr. Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, said technology “offers great potential in health care.” but he added that doctors’ first priority should be with the patient. 56. Why do hospitals equip their staff with computers, smartphones and other devices？ A. To reduce medical error. B. To cope with emergencies. C. To facilitate administration. D. To simplify medical procedures. 57. What does the author refer to by “distracted doctoring”？ A. The disservice done by modem devices to doctors, nurses, as well as patients. B. The tendency of medical institutions encouraging the use of modem devices. C. The problem of devices preventing doctors from focusing on their patients. D. The phenomenon of medical staff attending to personal affairs while working. 58. What does Dr. Peter Papadakos worry about？ A. Medical students are not adequately trained to use modem technology. B. Doctor’s interaction with their devices may endanger patients’ lives. C. Doctors are relying too heavily on modem electronic technology. D. Pressures on the medical profession may become overwhelming. 59. Why do doctors feel increasing pressure to use modem devices？ A. Patients trust doctors who use modern technology. B. Use of modem devices adds to hospitals’ revenues. C. Data is given too much importance in patient care. D. Patients’ data has to be revised from time to time. 60. What is Peter Carmel’s advice to doctors？ A. They follow closely the advances in medical science. B. They focus their attention on the patient’s condition. C. They observe hospital rules and regulations. D. They make the best use of modem devices.

After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave,resulting in a decrease in the number of employees． This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers． The attitudes of workers towards computers vary． There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult． On the other hand,many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitabl E．They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs． This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run． 1． The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from ． A．the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction B．their use as part of automated production systems C．the least possible number of operators D．the production system in steelworks

Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Keneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics. Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have flowed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. A1 a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day？" A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes." The first paragraph indicated that medical workers ______. A．are in great demand？ B．make a lot of money C．are concerned with their own health D．like sports more than ordinary people

A．Person B．personnel C．personal D．personally

Medical research are painfully aware that there are many problems_________________(他们至今还没有答案).

The shift, little noticed outside the medical establishment but already controversial inside it, suggests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent. In practical terms, the new guidelines being developed could result in doctors choosing one drug over another for cost reasons or even deciding that a particular treatment-at the end of life, for example-is too expensive. In the extreme, some critics have said that making treatment decisions based on cost is a form. of rationing. Traditionally, guidelines have heavily influenced the practice of medicine, and the latest ones are expected to make doctors more conscious of the economic consequences of their decisions, even though there’s no obligation to follow them. Medical society guidelines are also used by insurance companies to help determine reimbursement(报销)policies. Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and financial overseers. "There should be forces in society who should be concerned about the budget, but they shouldn’t be functioning simultaneously as doctors," said Dr. Martin Samuels at a Boston hospital. He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients if they told patients, "I’m not going to do what I think is best for you because I think it’s bad for the healthcare budget in Massachusetts." Doctors can face some grim trade-offs. Studies have shown, for example, that two drugs are about equally effective in treating macular degeneration, an eye disease. But one costs $50 a dose and the other close to $2,000. Medicare could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year if everyone used the cheaper drug. Avastin, instead of the costlier one, Lucentis. But the Food and Drug Administration has not approved Avastin for use in the eye, and using it rather than the alternative, Lucentis, might carry an additional, although slight, safety risk. Should doctors consider Medicare’s budget in deciding what to use？ "I think ethically(在道德层面上)we are just worried about the patient in front of us and not trying to save money for the insurance industry or society as a whole," said Dr. Donald Jensen. Still, some analysts say that there’s a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing so. "In some ways," said Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, "it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue." 57.What do some most influential medical groups recommend doctors do？ A.Reflect on the responsibilities they are supposed to take. B.Pay more attention to the effectiveness of their treatments. C.Take costs into account when making treatment decisions. D.Readjust their practice in view of the cuts in health care. 58.What were doctors mainly concerned about in the past？ A.Specific medicines to be used. B.Professional advancement.

C.Overuse of less effective medicines. D.The prolonging of patients’ suffering. 60.What risk do doctors see in their dual role as patient care providers and financial overseers？ A.They may be involved in a conflict of interest. B.They may be forced to divide their attention. C.They may have to use less effective drugs. D.They may lose the respect of patients. 61.What do some experts say about doctors’ involvement in medical cost analysis？ A.It may add to doctors’ already heavy workloads. B.It will help to save money for society as a whole. C.It results from society’s failure to tackle the problem. D.It raises doctors’ awareness of their social responsibilities.
