 A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online. The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
Forty-four percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online. Another finding of the survey: Two-thirds of Internet users look online for information about a specific disease or medical condition.
The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems. Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition. It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病). And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease. They are so eager to find other people online who share their health concerns.
A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwide. The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone. Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other. Dr. Jeff Livingston operates a medical center for women in Irving, Texas. His office uses password-protected software to share information with patients.
“We provide the patient full access to their medical care. Anything I can see, the patient can see. All of their notes, all of their doctor visits are right there. All of their lab work is right there.” Dr. Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients.
【小题1】From the first paragraph, we can know _________.

A.most online health information is reliable
B.more people now turn to the Internet for medical advice
C.people shouldn’t rely on the Internet for medical advice
D.doctors are no longer the patients’ first choice
【小题2】 The underlined words “off the charts” in Paragraph 3 mean _________.
A.very popularB.not accessibleC.far away fromD.not attractive
【小题3】 By using social networking, patients with rare diseases can _________.
A.find effective curesB.get emotional comfort
C.ask for financial supportD.consult doctors anytime
【小题4】 Which of the following is NOT true of Dr. Livingston’s software?
A.It cuts down medical expenses.
B.It decreases the time spent on medical care.
C.It takes doctors closer to their patients.
D.It gives patients a medical test online.

【小题2】A
【小题3】B
【小题4】D

解析试题分析:
【小题1】这是细节理解题。根据第一自然段A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online. The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
医生仍然健康咨询的首选,但是有很多人在网上搜寻信息,故正确答案为B。
【小题2】这是词义猜测题。根据It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病). And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease.在网上搜寻健康信息在4分之一慢性病人中受欢迎,后面有And可以判断前后两句是顺承关系,应该说的是同一话题,在网上搜寻健康信息在得怪病人的中间也受欢迎,故正确答案为A。温馨提醒:not accessible不可访问的;far away from远离;not attractive不吸引人的,该题既考查了这几个短语的意义同时又考查了学生的对上下文理解与推测的能力
【小题3】这是细节理解题。根据The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems.和 The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone.可知在网上搜寻健康信息给得怪病人的一精神安慰,故正确答案为B。
【小题4】这是细节理解题。根据Dr. Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients.
可知在网上搜寻健康信息可以省时、减少费用、能够拉近与医生之间的距离。只有D项在本文中没有出现,故选D。
考点:这是一篇研究社会调查类的文章。
点评:文章通过多次调查发现,现在人们喜欢在网上查找有关医学知识,在网上咨询自己的病情,以便对病情有更好的治疗。做阅读题一定要紧扣短文的意思,不要凭借自己的主观臆断做题。细节理解题都能在原文中找到答案。

Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.
On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.
Buried with e-mails
Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky — they have to read at least 100.
Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers chose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters.
Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.
Solution? Not yet.
Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.
【小题1】What does the new survey find about white-collar workers?

A.They spend 51% of their work time on meetings.
B.Only half of the information they receive is useful.
C.Over 60% of them prefer to use the telephone.
D.Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day.
【小题2】Telephone calls cause a problem because ________.
A.they take up the time to receive and send e-mails
B.they are often not answered
C.they are mostly not about business
D.they may lead to the changing of work schedule
【小题3】How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?
A.They start to give staff a pay rise.
B.They plan to employ more people.
C.They provide employees with more advanced equipment.
D.They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.
【小题4】What is the major issue discussed in this text?
A.Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.
B.Junk mail is causing big trouble.
C.White-collar workers suffer from information overload.
D.Better computers are in need in workplaces.

Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn't imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years.

A new survey, of 2,500 students nationwide starting in September this year, suggests that as much as 35 percent of students are disappointed by their courses.
However, Shao Yangfang, who works at the admission office of University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, advised students to consider both short-term and long-term goals.
"After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specially related to your college major? Or, would you like to possess the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas?【小题5】    Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interest, abilities and personality." Shao said.

A.These are the questions students need to consider.
B.After rounds of exams and interviews, he managed to transfer to the Department of International Accounting.
C.He added that a career in education just didn't suit him.
D.Unfortunately only 22 of them got a place on another major.
