高考题型提能练(十七)　Unit 17

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.

　　“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.

　　The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”

　　The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.

　　Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

　　(2024·日照市校际检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health，” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.

　　Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.

　　“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names，” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”

　　It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.

　　Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”

　　But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”

　　She said，“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how

　　can I bear to tell them that they're going to die？’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”

　　5.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?

　　A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.

　　B.Because they are not good at treating patients.

　　C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.

　　D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.

　　6.What should doctors do according to the regulators?

　　A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.

　　B.Have a close connection with patients in life.

　　C.Always be cold to patients.

　　D.Keep patients at a proper distance.

　　7.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT ________.

　　A.dealing with a lot of life-threatening diseases

　　B.discussing difficulties of treatments with patients

　　C.explaining the unavailability of some medicines

　　D.informing patients of the possible results of the treatments。

　　8.Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?

　　A.Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.

　　B.The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.

　　C.It's not the doctors' duty to deal with patients' anxiety.

　　D.Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.
