    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Do you think that daydreaming is a waste of time? Probably so．

    "On the contrary,'' says L．Giambra, an expert in psychology （心理学 ）．“Daydreaming is quite necessary．Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day．You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a consciousness （有意识）．Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time．Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues．"

        Early psychology experts paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful．At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses．They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s．Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book DAYDREAMING．Klinger says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures．Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life．”

        Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams,

    which may be hard to understand．It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully．Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in our life and find out a possible way of dealing with them．

        Daydreams cannot be predicted （预测）．They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of ideas．For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy．

    1．What's the writer’s opinion of daydreaming?

         A．He agrees with the early experts in psychology．

    B．He is for L．Giambra and Eric Klinger．

         C．He doesn’t prefer either side．

    D．He hasn’t formed his own idea yet．

    2．Which of the following statements is true?

    A．Daydreaming is less harmful than sleep dreaming．

    B．L．Giambra’s opinion of daydreaming is opposite to Eric Klinger’s．

    C．Early experts firmly stuck to their own opinion on daydreaming．

    D．Daydreams can come very suddenly and unexpectedly

    3．Which of the following can lead to daydreams according to the text?

    A．Absence of attention                    B．Illness in mind．

    C．Lack of sleep at night                               D．None of the above．

    4．After reading the passage we can conclude _______．

    A．daydreaming is neither harmful nor useful to daydreamer

    B．daydreams are not the same as, but similar to sleep dreams

    C． daydreaming is the result of silent dialogues between conscious and unconscious states of mind

    D．daydreams are of great help to us in solving problems

    　　There is nothing in the Hippocratic Oath that tells doctors what to do when they make a mistake with a patient．Nor is there much on this subject in medical school curriculums or in training programs．

    　　But there should be．

    　　Much was made of the Institute of Medicine’s 1999 report that 44,000 to 98,000 people die each year in hospitals from preventable medical errors, many of them made by doctors．

    　　The report stated much first-hand information to address the problem, but there was little discussion about how doctors, when they have made mistakes, should deal with their patients,

    　　Everyone assumes that the ever-present threat of accusation has made doctors more anxious about admitting error, and no doubt it has, But doctors have always been tight-lipped about their mistakes, in part to preserve an illusion(幻觉，错误的信仰)of medical omnipotence(全能)

    　　Studies suggest that patients are less likely to accuse doctors when they apologize for mistakes, and many hospitals now encourage their physicians to admit their errors．According to an supportive group called The Sorry Works! Coalition, 16 states have already passed laws giving doctors legal immunity(饶恕)for their apologies to patients．

    　　Of course, there are plenty of doctors with a nice bedside manner who can get away with bad treatment．How else to explain patients who often line up in court to support doctors accused of malpractice(失职)?

    　　The surprising truth is that many patients have a hard time knowing whether they are really getting good medical care．

    　　Because so many diseases change randomly over time, patients sometimes spontaneously(自发的)improve despite improper treatment．On the other hand, a patient who receives exemplary medical care may fare badly(情况不好)simply because the illness is hard to treat．In other words, doctors are often praised or blamed, when the outcome is in fact a chance event．

    　　Many, perhaps even most, medical errors probably have little ill effect and go unnoticed by patients．Many lawyers would disagree, but doctors ought to let their patients know when they’ve made a mistake; it humanizes them and builds trust．

    (1)

    According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    What does the sentence “But there should be” mean in the second paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．

    But there should be more subjects in medical school．

    B．

    But there should be something more specific in the Oath．

    C．

    But the doctor should not make any mistake．

    D．

    But there should be something to tell the doctor what to do when they make a mistake．

    [　　]

    A．

    Many states have legally encouraged the doctors to admit their fault．

    B．

    Medical errors are often ignored by the patients．

    C．

    The behavior that the doctor apologizes can build trust between the patients and the doctor．

    D．

    It is easy for patients to know whether they are under a good treatment．

    (5)

    What is the author’s attitude toward the opinion that the doctor should apologize when he makes a mistake?

    [　　]

    A．

    Supportive

    B．

    Critical

    C．

    Indifferent

    D．

    Neutral

    　　Just then, one tapped on the window on the passenger side．It was a short, medium-built woman, who was all bundled up in jacket and scarf, wearing jeans and boots．Surprised, I was reluctant, at first, to roll the window down．What could she possibly want? I lowered the window just enough to hear what the woman had to say．Through the window, she shoved a five dollar bill．“I don't have change,” she said, “but here is an extra five dollar bill．Use it to pay for your parking spot．” I was floored! Was this woman, whom I'd never seen before, actually giving me this much money? Yes, that was exactly what she was doing! She wouldn't take the check I offered her for the cash．She just walked away．
