　　Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patientno matter where he or she may be.

　　On line doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (远程诊断)will be based on real physiological data(生物数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal date assistance plus a mobile phone; it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster needespecially after earth quakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts' opinions.

　　But there is one problem Bandwidth(宽带)is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂) medical pictures around the world. CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users Communication satellites may be able to deal with the shortterm needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the secondgeneration internet and thirdgeneration mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Gadgets(小装置)can be wildly expensive and quickly out-of-date, but Steven Poole is still the first to buy them．Technological innovations(创新)are often quite stupid．The idea that you might want to walk down the street holding a mobile phone in front of your face, just to experience the wonders of video calling, is clearly ridiculous．Luckily for the tech companies, however, there are some people who jump at the chance to buy into new gadgets before they are fully ready and cheap enough for the mass-market．They are called early adopters, and their fate is a terrible one．I should know, since I am one myself．

　　Early adopters have a Mecca： it's Tokyo's Akihabara district, also known as “Electric City”．There, in 1999, I bought a digital camera, a gizmo that few people in Britain had heard of．Over the next few years I watched in great sadness as digital cameras became more popular, cheaper and more powerful, until better models could be had for a quarter of the price I had paid．Did I feel stupid? What I actually did was this： I splashed out more money last year for a new one, one that let me feel pleasantly ahead of the curve once again．But I know that cannot last, and I'll probably have to buy another in a few years．

　　Thus early adopters are betting on other people eventually feeling the same desires．And it's worse if that future never arrives．Early adopters of the Betamax home-video format in the 1970s could only look on in sadness when their investment was ified(使无效)by the success of VHS．All sorts of apparently splendid inventions, such as videogame consoles like the Atari Jaguar have been abandoned to the dustbin of history right after a few early adopters bought in．Those who invested thousands in a Segway motorized scooter on the wave of ridiculous advertising campaigns that accompanied its launch a couple of years ago can join the club．

　　You might think we should just stop being so silly, save our money, and wait to see what really catches on．But the logic of the industry is such that, if everyone did that, no innovation would become popular．Imagine the third person to buy an ordinary telephone soon after Alexander Graham Bell had invented it．Who was he going to call? Maybe he simply bought two phones, one for a special friend．But still, the usefulness and eventual popularity of the device wasn't clear at the time．Nobody dreamed of the possibility of being able to speak to any one of millions of people．And yet if he, and the hundreds and thousands of early adopters after him, had not bought into the idea, the vast communication networks that we all take for granted today would never have been built．

　　The same goes, indeed, for all new technologies．Those guys holding bricks to their ears that we laughed at in the 1980s made the current mobile phone possible．People who bought DVD players when they still cost a fortune, instead of today's cheap one at the local supermarket, made sure that the new format succeeded．Early adopters’ desire for desires supported the future financially．And what did they get for their pains? They got a hole in their bank accounts and inferior, unperfected technology．But still, they got it first．And today they are still at work, buying overpriced digital radios, DVD recorders and LCD televisions, and even 3G phones, so that you will be eventually be able to buy better and less expensive ones．

　　So next time you see a gadget-festooned geek(满身新潮玩意的土包子)and feel tempted to sneer(讥笑), think for a minute．Without early adopters, there would be no cheap mobile phones or DVD players; there would be no telephone or television either．We are the tragic, unsung foot soldiers of the technology revolution．We're the desire-addicted pioneers, pure in heart, dreaming of a better future．We make expensive mistakes so you don't have to．Really, we are heroes．

When the recent research was analyzed, it was found that a lot of people wanted free pictures or free music from the Web. If it couldn’t be free, then they wanted it “new” or at least at a low price. It seems that 70 percent of people aged 16 to 24 download music online but only 1 in 40 tracks are bought legally.

Thus, some companies are planning to give all of their music away for free. The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching ads. This will be perfect for those who have lots of time but little money.

The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap. It seems that everyone is looking for a good deal on the Web. The desire for free objects is part of the nature of the Web because the Web is about self-service and self-service is all about being free, cheap, fast and convenient. It’s interesting how words change their meaning. Stealing has now become file sharing, but it’s not really stealing, is it?

Free is a funny word. We all know that very little is really for free. If we go searching on the Web for free music, we know or should know that there are risks involved. However, it doesn’t matter. We still want free things, or at least the sense that we’re getting a real bargain and that at a minimum we’re saving time.

What can be the worst experience on the Web? A site that charges us high prices and wastes our time.

57. The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. the nature of the web B. the web and the culture of “free”

C. stealing and file sharing D. what the word “free” means
