共用题干第一篇Do Patients Trust Doctors Too Much?Earlier this year,the American College of Surgeons,the national scientific and educational organizationof surgeons,conducted a nationwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to re- searching his or her surgery or surgeon.While prospective patients worry about the costs or complications of an operation,they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concerns.In fact,more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the cre- dentials of the surgeon who operated.Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change(on average,about 10 hours)or a new car(8 hours)than the operation they are about to submit to or the surgeon who wields（支配）the knife. And many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their sur -geons or primary care doctors,whoever those individuals happen to be.I felt curious about the survey,so I called Dr. Thomas Russell,executive director of the American College of Surgeons."There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel com-pelled to look into their surgery or surgeons,"he told me.There are consequences to that kind of blind trust."Today,medicine and surgery are really team sports,"Dr. Russell continued,"and the patient,as the ultimate decision-maker,is the most important mem- ber of the team.Mistakes can happen,and patients have to be educated and must understand what isgoing on."In other words,a healthy doctor-patient relationship does not simply entail good bedside manners and re-sponsible office management on the part of the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relationshipeducated about their doctors,their illnesses and their treatment."If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the U.S.,"Dr. Russell said,"everybody hasto participate actively and must educate themselves.That means doctors,nurses,other health careprofessionals , lawyers , pharmaceutical（制药的）companies , and insurance companies. But most of all , it means the patient."Trust is important. But as Sir Francis Bacon,who was among the first to understand the importance of gathering data in science,once observed,knowledge is power.The author does NOT believe in__________.A:lots of scientific dataB:Francis BaconC:blind trustD:too much knowledge

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.
共用题干Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because______.A:it demands too great an effort for us to do soB:we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideasC:we have proved that those ideas are correctD:we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth

300 Hurdles Now comes the first hurdle. __1__ We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes. Those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I can’t make it over, I’m too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race". This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it. The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. __2__ This happens a lot in life too. There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can’t make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that "hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race. Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No I can't do this." __3__. Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we fell like have been though enough and there’s no hope. __4__ It's one step close to the end of the race. Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."__5__.__2__内应选（）A、This hurdle the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running.B、Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.C、All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.D、That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.E、These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can’t go on.F、Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.
