“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr. Dada Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.
According to Pal, nearly forty percent of American patients say they have used e-mail to communicate with a doctor.
He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to two percent of doctors in the united States offer e-mail service.
Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point, patient to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It's said that more than ten thousand healthoriented websites 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 another for the “have-nots”
But Pal points out that“ by the year 2000 nearly every library will offer （Internet and e-mail） services in the United States, allowing even low-income patients to use such means.” Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical e-mail.
“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about payment for the time they spent,” he explains, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.“But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.
E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “Patients can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful, than face-to-face dialogues with their doctors.”

There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious (明显的) difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences，no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.
6．The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.
A．vocabulary B．grammar
C．sound D．spelling
7．It’s implied in the passage that the author may be________.

A．language differences don’t affect understanding
B．the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C．there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future
D．it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels
9．What can we learn from the passage?
A．“Elevator” is commonly used in the UK.
B．Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.
C．In the UK，things are measured in pounds and ounces.
D．British and American people drive on the same side of the road.
10．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

Dear Mr Heppell,
I am Sabrina Akhtar studying in a high school and I've noticed that forests are disappearing(消失).
You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year. This is because of many different reasons including farming, tourisms pollution(污染), etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.
Now I'm writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and changing to tree-free paper(paper not made from trees). This will help forests so much. There are many, many things we can do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit http://www.Rainforestweb.org/. By changing the little things, we can make a big difference.
