Part 2 Passage I Couldn't Stop Dieting

Section Four
Part 1 Feature report
Exercise A:
This news report is about the pediatric telemedicine program, which offers an efficient way for children to see a doctor.
Exercise B:
1. have a visit with a doctor
2. save them four and a half hours of missed work; health-related absences
3. insurance companies a great deal of money; using hospital emergency rooms for treatment
4. the high-tech medical visits; hands-on care
5. remote visits; face to face visits

Script：
Pediatric Telemedicine Program
For this little boy, Jonathan, a runny nose would normally mean a phone call from his day care center asking his mother to take him home. But, now, the center can make a different call and get him medical attention right there.

The Day Care Provider contacts the Doctor at University of Rochester Medical Center to see if he can do a live visit via the Internet.

Jonathan is one of nearly a thousand pre-school children in upstate Rochester, New York who can have a live visit with a doctor without ever leaving their day care center. The Provider inserts the ear thermometer to take his temperature. Audio, video and medical images are sent over the Internet to a physician at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

The Doctor inquires about the child's previous medical condition, "Has he had problems with ear infections in the past?" The Provider responds "Yes, he has had one in the past"

Fayla Bermudez with her sick child
The child's mother, Fayla Bermudez, thinks the new service is great. In the past she says she would have had to go to the emergency room.

A new study shows that each telemedicine visit saved parents four and a half hours of missed work. And for the children, health related absences were down 63-percent.

One mother, Erika Haines, says, "They {the children} get seen, they get their medicine. They feel better and everybody is happy."

Dr. Neil Herendeen, University of Rochester Medical Center
Rochester doctor Neil Herendeen says telemedicine keeps people from using hospital emergency rooms for treatment, which saves insurance companies a great deal of money. "You can do a lot of telemedicine for the cost of one E.R. visit. And that's what got our local insurers on board."

Dr. Charles Shubin
But pediatricians like Charles Shubin says the high-tech medical visits are no substitute for hands on care. "Ill children, I think, deserve better than a mechanical, electronic process of health care."

The University of Rochester Medical Center doctors disagree, saying most of the time; remote visits are just as effective as face-to-face visits.

The programs cost a lot to start up; the U.S. federal government has funded Rochester’s. It is about expand beyond the city's limits and perhaps will become a model for similar programs across the U.S.

Part 2 Passage

1. B; 2. D; 3. D; 4. B 5. D; 6. C; 7. A; 8. B
Exercise D
1. The franks are double cooked, first in boiling water, then on the grill. This may seem gratuitous, but it is the secret to a masterpiece. Carol runs a knife around each knockwurst, making a spiral cut top to bottom around the body, before bringing them to a boil. When they cook in the water, the spirals open up, releasing some of the fat and rendering the meat more tender. Then the knockwursts are grilled to perfection, charred and crisp, yet tender as can be.
2. Open.
