Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients ― to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed （變矮�。゜y greater needs: the need to protect from brutal(討厭的) news, to uphold(支持) a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.

What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?

Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.

Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate（惡化）faster, perhaps even commit suicide (自殺).

But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed (傳達), helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.

There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception(欺騙). Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”

 

72. According to the author’s opinion, lies ________.

A. can benefit the patients    

B. can help the patients to recover

C. can do nothing to the patients’ illness      

D. can not benefit the patients

73. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

     A. There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not.

     B. It is true that “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” .

     C. The truthful information helps patients to deal with their illness.

     D. Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.

74. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

     A. There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.

     B. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”

     C. The public has every reason to be cautious of the professional deception.

     D. We need to discuss this issue in medicine, but not in other professions.

75. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

     A. Who benefits from deception.

     B. Deception is beneficial to patients.

     C. Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.

     D. Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.

You can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbors or even your customers! Try to keep a low profile（姿態(tài)）in your neighborhood: Don’t announce to just about everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, don’t invite clients（客戶）or visitors to your home. In fact ,I know of some home-based entrepreneurs（企業(yè)家）who would rather meet their clients in a neutral ground, e.g. the client’s office or even Starbucks.  

There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house.  

●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.  

●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowner’s insurance premiums（費用）.  

●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or top of the doorframe.  

●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an “exit-only deadbolt” is an deadbolt that doesn’t have an external（外部的）key. It’s clearly visible on the door from the outside, but can’t be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself. While the security won’t help directly when you aren’t home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door.  

●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.  

 

64. The advice given by the writer in the passage focuses on __________.  

A. how to make your house safe from burglars  

B. what to do when your house is broken into  

C. how to improve social security in the United States  

D. how to run a home business  

65. Some home-based entrepreneurs don’t invite clients to their home ___________.  

A. to enjoy convenience outside their home  

B. for reasons of their property safety  

C. not to let others know their business  

D. in order to avoid being seen by burglars  

66. All the following are part of the writer’s advice except that the homeowner ________.  

A. buy a security alarm and turn it on in the evening  

B. fix an extra lock on the door for extra security  

C. have the doors made of solid hardwood or heavy metal  

D. keep lights on in all rooms to threaten burglars  

67. What does the underlined word “intruder” most probably mean in this passage?  

A. Someone who is invited to visit.  

B. Someone who illegally enters the home.  

C. Someone who pays regular visits to the home.  

D. Someone who tries to destroy the lock.

    Special trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.

    When 40 percent of Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (轉(zhuǎn)基因的) trees.

    Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.

    Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.

    Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.

    The Pentagon (五角大樓) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.

    So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (楊樹與桉樹), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因組).

    However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed (繁殖)with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.

    "It could be destructive," said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. '"Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species."

    But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.

    They hope to answer the critics （批評家）by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.

 

68. Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?                               

A. Trees that worms can't hurt.

B. Trees that can sense a chemical attack.

C. Trees that can resist wind better.

D. Genetically engineered trees.

69. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees directly? 

A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.

B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.

C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.

D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.

70. Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered? 

A. Papaya.           B. Pine.          C. Apple.             D. Poplar.

71. Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _________.

A. these trees can destroy the balance of nature

B. everything except trees has been genetically engineered

C. trees are home to many endangered species

D. these trees may affect normal trees
