E-mail (电子邮件)can be a powerful new tool in improving communication (交流) between patients and doctors, according to one expert.
“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr Basal Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.
According to Pal, nearly 40% of American patients say they used e-mail to communicate with a doctor in the past.
He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer e-mail service.
Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point patients to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It’s said that more than 10,000 health-oriented websites (网站) already exist now.
However, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care —one for Internet “haves” and the other for the “have-nots”.
But Pal points out that “by the year 2002 nearly every library will offer Internet and e-mail services in the United States” allows even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers (障碍) to the acceptance of medical e-mail.
“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload (工作量) and uncertainty about payment (付款) for the time they spent,” he explained, “and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.” “But these problems can be all be solved,” he adds.
E-mail may help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “ Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway (超级高速公路) less fearful than face -to-face dialogue with their doctors.”
30. The article introduces a new way of patient- doctor communication _________.
A. by e-mail B. by visiting websites
C. by searching the Internet D. by using the computer
31. According to the text, some people worry that ___________.
A. it might have to serve both those who have access (访问通道) to the Internet and those who don’t so the workload is too heavy
B. it might meet double doubts from those who have access to the Internet and those who don’t
C. it might make trouble between those who can use the Internet and those who can’t
D. it might take trouble between those who have Internet experiences and those who haven’t
32. All the following points are advantages (优点) of using medical e-mail except that__________.
A. it is more reliable (可靠的).
B. it is less frightening
C. it enable patients and doctors to understand each other better
D. it provides patients more choices of treatment (治疗)
33. Which of the following is true about e-mail in the USA?
A. Every patient cannot use it.
B. Only doctors can use it.
C. Patients needn’t pay for their treatment by using e-mail.
D. No others can read the information sent by e-mail.

D
There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter(直升飞机) in 1909, sound movies in 1926, the computer in 1928 and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon(尼龙) came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including(包括) China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
34. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as ___
A. the radio B. the camera
C. jet planes D. movies
35. People can live long lives because___________to help people cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new methods
C. medicines D. new hospitals
36. Man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot____________.
A. at the beginning of 1800s
B. in 1900s
C. since 1900s
D. from 1800s to 1960s
37. By the 1960s____________________.
A. people had known everything about the world
B. there was not much to be explored
C. only the moon had not yet been known
D. the world as a whole was known to man
