     We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience,
by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
     We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it"s not surprising that we depend on it in our
everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
     Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).
     Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn"t
show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes
down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared.
Typically, the original message has changed.
     That"s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words
changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative
touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those
who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to
challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
1. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
A. doing a medical experiment    
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition    
D. doing scientific reasoning
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. active learning
B. knowledge
C. communication    
D. passive learning
3. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
A. a message may be changed when being passed on 
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Active learning is less important.
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.

     "How lucky you are to be a doctor..." Anyone who"s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who"s studying medicine should have his head examined.
     You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says-even doctors have a few friends-it"s all experience. Experience! I don"t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that"s what I need.
     All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini (微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3?45 a. m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the carseat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in Southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don"t call me at half past three on a December morning for an earache that you have had for two weeks.
     Of course, being a doctor isn"t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rockhard cake at two o"clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often "everything" is a repeating rule: look, listen, feel, tap. Pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.
     And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard(总机) of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.

1. According to the sentence "Anyone who"s studying medicine should have his head examined", we
    know that ________.
A. the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy
B. a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situation
C. a medical student should have a very good memory
D. to be a doctor is a challenge for people"s mental health

2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The writer wishes he could have a quiet, undisturbed night in bed at home.
B. One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.
C. He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.
D. He is not happy with the small and uncomfortable car he is driving.

3. The statement "We do have our moments" could best be replaced by "________".
A. We doctors are called at a moment"s notice to see people who need medical treatment
B. Usually we are glad that we can do something to help the sick
C. Sometimes we find people are thankful for our help
D. There are chances that doctors find their work rewarding and satisfying

4. From the whole passage we know that the writer ________.
A. is a bad doctor, unwilling to make a house call during the nighttime
B. is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one
C. is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily
D. thinks a doctor can enjoy certain special rights whether he felt lucky or not

5. We can conclude that ________.
A. the author is worried about his patient when he is driving through the foggy streets of East London
B. the author is annoyed to be called out at such a horrible morning hour for an earache patient
C. the author is now heading for the beach in Southern France for his holidays
D. as the author speeds down Lea Bridge in the dark on a December morning, his Mini breaks down
    half way
