  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 print-out, 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 self-health-checks.

  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 X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” 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 X-ray 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?

  63. 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

  64. 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

  65. 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

  66. 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
