The technology is great.Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon，explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print­out，convinced that they have some rare incurable disease，say，throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary，though: they don’t have throat cancer，and it’s just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self­health­checks.
One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong，she said calmly，“I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer.I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X­ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn’t right.“Did your local doctor do an X­ray？” I asked.“Oh，I haven’t been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted，so I knew that’s what I had.”
However，some of her symptoms，like the severe cough and weight loss，didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X­ray again，and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating，and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I’m_so_embarrassed，”she said，shaking her head，as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20，and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly，the computer was not working，so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited？ (2013·湖北，D)
1．Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly because .
A．she thought she knew it well B．she had purchased medicine online
C．she graduated from a medical school D．she had been treated by local doctors
2．It was lucky for Mrs.Almond .
A．to have contacted many friends B．to have recovered in a short time
C．to have her assumption confirmed D．to have her disease identified in time
3．Mrs.Almond said “I’m so embarrassed”(Para.7) because .
A．she had distrusted her close friends B．she had caused unnecessary trouble
C．she had to refuse the doctor’s advice D．she had to tell the truth to the doctor
4．By mentioning the breakdown of the computer，the author probably wants to prove .
A．it’s a must to take a break at work B．it’s vital to believe in IT professionals
C．it’s unwise to simply rely on technology D．it’s a danger to work long hours on computers

Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowd—and among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status.In 1985，Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America.Shortly after he reached the peak，Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg.At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death，but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away.He chose immediate goals，such as reaching a nearby rock，and then gave himself a time limit to get there.Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals.
Break your main task into smaller goals.This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be “mission impossible”．
Language learning，similar to mountain climbing to some extent，is a daunting task facing most language learners.However，learning from the above story，we can apply Simpson’s method to language study.My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows：
1．Understand what kind of learner you are.
Some people are “visual learners” and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind；others are “auditory” and are happy to learn by listening；“kinesthetic” learners tend to learn by doing things and experience.
2．Realize your own competence.
What are your strengths and weaknesses？Which skill or skills are you going to improve most？Allocate your time to each skill appropriately.It is better to do a little every day than try to “cram” lots in a short space of time.
3．Write down your plan on a calendar.
Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day.More importantly，your plan should be specific and practical.Once you have a clear goal in your mind，write it down on your calendar.Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule.Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.
Studying is like climbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time.At first sight，a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak.However，when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think.Similarly，it is also true in language learning.You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step.Don’t be frightened by the seemingly hard task.Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream.
