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.
【小題1】The writer chiefly talks about _______.

A．the use of telemedicineB．the on-lined doctors
C．medical care and treatmentD．communication improvement
【小題2】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
【小題3】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.
【小題4】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

Parents are a child’s first teachers. But some parents never learned from good examples. In New York City, a nonprofit agency called Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.
The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me. Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a bath and how to dress a baby depending on the season.
She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy and overly demanding. Delores Clemens says, “that's not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. If you never pick him up, he's going to keep crying. Pick your baby up. Cuddle your baby. Hug him! And she started to do that. They just want a little cuddling and a little love. And it works!”
Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. Around three hundred fifty teenage mothers graduate from Covenant House's Mommy and Me class every year.
In class, with her baby son is Natasha. She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. As she told reporter Adam Phillips, she is also glad for the help they offer in seeking a more secure life.
The World Health Organization says the United States has forty-one births for every one thousand girls age fifteen to nineteen. That is higher than other developed countries, as well as some developing ones. By comparison, northern neighbor Canada has fourteen births and southern neighbor Mexico has eighty-two.

A．help homeless young mothers become good parents

C．help mothers in New York be good parents
D．teach some parents how to love their children
【小題3】What can we know about Delores Clemens from the text?
A．She has a mother of five and a grandmother.
B．She thinks a crying baby should be picked up and hugged.
C．She teaches advanced skills on how to be good mothers.
D．She is very glad for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House.

(共5小題：每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again,  1 . Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.  2 , he really means that he does not give it enough opportunities to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercise his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,  3 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?  4 ? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
  5 , learn from the poor; practice remembering.

A．So if you want a good memory
B．When someone else says that his memory is poor
C．When someone else says that he is poor in health
D．Why is this
E. What is this
F. we know that it is his own fault
G. they slowly become strong again
