A
As Mrs.Thompson stood in front of class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth.Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, back his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddart.
Mrs.Thompson watched Teddy, noticing that he did not play well with other children, his clothes were dirty, and that he constantly needed a bath.Besides, Teddy could be unpleasant.It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson actually took delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.
Mrs.Thompson was required to review each child’s past records, and she put off reviewing Teddy’s until last.However, reviewing his file, she was surprised.
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his work neatly and has good manners.”
His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has an incurable illness and life at home must be a struggle.”
His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him.He tries to do his best, but his father doesn’t show much interest, and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”
Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn (倒退) and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends, and he sometimes sleeps in class.”
By now, Mrs.Thompson realized the problem, ashamed of herself.She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents wrapped in beautiful ribbons (色带) and bright paper; except for Teddy’s.

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.
4.The writer chiefly talks about _______.
A.the use of telemedicine
B.the on-lined doctors
C.medical care and treatment
D.communication improvement
5.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
6.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.
7.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
C
Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However, it can also be very risky for a person’s mental health, according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence, life control and overall well-being（幸福感）.“Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way,”said Chris Boyce, the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead, these people don’t go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should, which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate.
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health, Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life, including work and self-reported health.After analyzing all the available information, they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.
However, what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people, on average, 10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith, a Scottish health expert, said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said, “ When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can’t afford the time to care about their health.”
8.According to the text we can learn that work promotion _________.
A.is traditionally believed to be harmful to people’s health
B.decreases people’s self-confidence and happiness
C.gives people more chances to have health checks
D.can help raise people’s income to some extent
9.The underlined word “deteriorates” in the second paragraph means “becomes ________”.
A.satisfying
B.doubtful
C.optimistic
D.worse
10.What do we know from Boyce’s research?
A.It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals’ lives.
B.It surveyed 1,000 people in the world.
C.It showed how people gained work promotion.
D.It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health.
11.From the last paragragh we can learn that _________.
A.people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B.the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people’s leisure time
C.promoted individuals tend to pay more attention to their health
D.poor health condition makes promoted individuals feel stressed
12.What is the best title for this text?
A.Work Promotion Helps Increase Self-Confidence
B.Work Promotion Is Actually Bad for One’s Health
C.Work Promotion Means Having to Work Harder
D.Work Promotion Brings Wealth and Health
D
