Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.

Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(癥狀) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷) will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù)) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.

But there is one problem. Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex(復(fù)雜的) medical pictures around the world — CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.

The writer chiefly talks about _______.

       A. the use of telemedicine           B. the on-lined doctors

       C. medical care and treatment             D. communication improvement

The basis of remote diagnosis will be _______.

A. personal data assistance                 B. some words of a patient

       C. real physiological information         D. medical pictures from the Internet

Which of the following statements is true according to the text？

       A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.

       B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.

       C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.

       D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.

The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _______.

       A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures

       B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet

       C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs

       D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.
It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks(街區(qū)) to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate(不適當(dāng)?shù)? one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
【小題1】Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?

A．Having a car ride.
B．Taking the train twice.
C．Buying more than one toy.
D．Touring the historic district.
【小題2】According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A．Building confidence in herself.
B．Reducing her use of private cars.
C．Developing her sense of direction.
D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
【小題3】The underlined word “paralyzed” (in Para. 5) is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A．displayedB．JustifiedC．IgnoredD．destroyecl
【小題4】Which means of transportation does the writer probably have a dislike of?
A．Subway.B．Airplane.C．Tram.D．Car.

For better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.
However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia（近視）. An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.
The research team found that the prevalence（流行）of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.
Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.
Jane Gwiazda, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”
Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.
It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students’ eyes.
If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.

  1. 1.

    What’s the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?

    1. A.
      To find the reasons for myopia.
    2. B.
      To find the ways to treat myopia.
    3. C.
      To prove the bad effects of myopia.
    4. D.
      To prove the prevalence of myopia.
  2. 2.

    Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than in Singapore ?

    1. A.
      Because Sydney children watch less TV.
    2. B.
      Because Sydney children have more eye resting time.
    3. C.
      Because Sydney children use computers less.
    4. D.
      Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.
  3. 3.

    What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?

    1. A.
      Sydney children don’t study hard.
    2. B.
      Singapore children do few exercises.
    3. C.
      Outdoor activities do more good to eyes.
    4. D.
      Room light does harm to children’s eyes.
  4. 4.

    Which of the following statements is TRUE ?

    1. A.
      Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age.
    2. B.
      Doing outdoor activities with no glasses is good for myopia children.
    3. C.
      Focusing on distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape.
    4. D.
      Children should limit their time in the sun in order to protect their eyes.
