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（症状）are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis（远程诊断）will be based on real physiological data（生理数据）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（宽带） is the limiting factor for sending complex （复 杂 ）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. 25．The writer chiefly talks about ________ . A. the use of telemedicine B. the on-lined doctors C. medical care and treatment D. communication improvement 26．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. 27．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

Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted, new research suggests. In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors. The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention group (干预组) had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group. It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children’s eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine (多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness. Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits of their eyesight. However, it’s important to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV(紫外的) light, which can be damaging. 28. What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day? A. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities. B. Continue to do their usual activities. C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises. D. Participate in outdoor activities with parents. 29. What can be inferred about the chemical dopamine? A. It can contribute to poor sight. B. It can damage people’s brain. C. It is beneficial to eyesight. D. It means low levels of light intensity. 30. What may be discussed in the following paragraph? A. How to design outdoor activities for kids. B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted. C. How to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light. D. How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The More Time Outdoors, the Better B. Kids May See Better if They Play Outside C. It’s Time to Engage Kids in Outdoor Activities D. Researchers Found a Cure for Nearsightedness

You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction. For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries. Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time They’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant. 32. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of smart phones. B. The progress of modern technology. C. The signs of “always on” stress. D. The cause of smart phone addiction. 33. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________. A. research how people use their mobile phones B. help people control their use of mobile phones C. make people better use mobile phones D. increase the fun of using mobile phones 34. What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture? A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 35. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________. A. we will become less productive B. we can make a decision more quickly C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively

How to Become an Effective Leader The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 36________ It takes time to become a trustworthy leader. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow: l Don’t be self-centered. The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 37________ Perhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked, “A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader.” l 38________ Rare is the effective leader who didn’t learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first. l Work with excellence. No one respects and follows mediocrity（平庸）. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 39________ l Give your power away. What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 40________ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp. A. Become a good follower first. B. You are meant to be a river, not a pool. C. They lead in order to serve other people. D. Leaders help people to reach their potential. E. Leadership isn’t learned or earned in a moment. F. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. G. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.

About a week later the shelter received a large 57 from an anonymous(匿名的) source. I couldn’t help but 58 if it came from that man.
