Most people will experience at least one wrong medical diagnosis in their lifetime, resulting in health problems, psychological suffering and financial cost, according to a new report. Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect(回顧), researchers said more work needs to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can change people’s life in the distant future.

“Diagnosis is a collective effort that often involves a team of health care professionals---from primary care physicians to nurses.” said John Ball, chair of the committee which wrote the report. “The type of a single physician observing a patient case and deciding a diagnosis is not always accurate, and a diagnostic errors, we have to look more broadly at the entire process of how a diagnosis is made.”

The researcher, said there are not enough data on diagnostic errors, and efforts to improve diagnosis and reduce errors have not been frequent. The medical culture discourages transparency and makes it more difficult to correct them. The blame lies in cooperation and communication between members of medical teams treating patients, patients themselves, and their families. Besides this, researchers found the healthcare system is not designed for the collaboration needed in the diagnostic process and that diagnosis will continue to worsen if new ideas are not put forward.

The committee recommended more information, from electronic health records to test results, be made more easily available to families and caregivers, to help them better learn and understand what is going on with their health. Creating an environment for patients to question a diagnosis or add information about their condition could also help better influence diagnosis.

Most significantly, the researchers said methods need to be established to make communication between doctors and patients easier. Doctors are not encouraged or paid to communicate with patients as much as they should be.

1.It can be inferred from the new report that .

A. diagnostic errors have a great influence on people

B. new ways are found to avoid diagnostic errors

C. nobody can avoid those diagnostic errors

D. diagnostic errors are difficult to be found

2.Why does the medical culture make the correction of diagnostic errors so difficult?

A. For lack of advanced technological equipment

B. For lack of strict rules of managing the medial environment

C. For lack of enough professional knowledge about medicinal treatment

D. For lack of cooperation and communication between physicians, patients and their families

3.What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A. Researches on the diagnostic process

B. New ways to better protect patients

C. Advice on reducing diagnostic errors

D. Communication between patients and doctors

4.Why is communication between doctors and patients not much?

A. Because of the different belief

B. Because of the medical situation

C. Because of being short of money

D. Because of the current rules

5.The passage most probably comes from .

A. a hospital advertisement B. a science book

Great white sharks, the world’s largest predatory(食肉的) fish, eat three to four times more food than previously thought, an Australian study shows.

The U. S. research from the 1980s estimated a meal of 30 kilograms could make a one-tonshark continue living for more than six weeks.

That made assumptions that large sharks could survive long periods without eating.

However, a University of Tasmania-led study published this week in Scientific Reports found that 30kg was only enough for 12-15days.

Researchers tagged(給……附上標(biāo)簽) a dozen great white sharks at Neptune Islands off South Australia and calculated their metabolic(新陳代謝的) rate based on swimming speeds. They worked out how much energy the sharks burned and how much food they required.

“Their metabolic rate is faster than we assumed.”

Jayson Semmens was the lead author on the study. He said, ”They (U. S. researchers)picked a shark that probably wasn’t working very hard at the time when they did it . At the time it was a new study. They did some metabolic work similar to us but on one shark.”

“The white sharks, which we tagged, are working pretty hard … they’re coming up to some pretty high speed to catch the seals.” he said, ”Their metabolic rate is much faster than what we had assumed. These animals are probably going to be feeding every day, rather than several weeks.”

The research also sought to improve understanding of how sharks fit into the ocean ecosystem.

“We don’t have a good handle on the population sizes of white sharks. We know that sharks in general are under pressure around the world from overfishing.” Semmens said, “Furthermore, they’re long -lived. They reproduce late in their life and they produce a small number of babies.”

Semmens said the effects of removing white sharks from the ocean were thus far more important than realized. “They’re keeping under control a lot more animals than we thought,” he said.

1.The U.S. research made people believe that .

A. large sharks could live without eating meat

B. sharks gained several kilograms in six weeks

C. a one-ton shark needed to eat 30 kg every meal

D. large sharks could live without eating for several weeks

2.What is Semmens’ attitude towards U.S. researchers’ job?

A. Uninterested B. Surprised

C. Objective D. Satisfied

3.The sharks’ metabolic rate calculated by the two research groups is different probably because .

A. they used different research methods

B. they studied sharks of different sizes

C. the sharks they used for research were of different species

D. the sharks they used for research swam at different speeds

4.What do you know about white sharks? .

A. They play an important role in ocean ecosystem

B. They can produce a large number of babies

C. They swim more slowly than seals

D. They live a short life

5.The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to .

A. inform B. persuade

C. describe D. entertain

A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods. But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter, Sophie, who had a passion for running.

Chris used to consume an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he switched to healthy lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry(咖啡) and, ice cream, and also drink four pints of beer very quickly, before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.

Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount---but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods. Chris said: “'My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them I did it for more than anyone else.

The engineer Camillo Oliver was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908.

At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.

By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.

Camillo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists(專家). The company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators(計(jì)算機(jī)). In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer in Italy.

After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.

In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group — one for personal computers, one for Systems and services, and two for telecommunications.
