symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs
from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost medical care(忧虑),
especially if they lack health insurance(保险). Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to
discuss their weight, alcohol consumption(消耗) or couch(睡椅) potato habits. Patients may also
fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative
experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day, more than six million American thru to the Internet for medical answers-most of
them aren"t nearly skeptical(怀疑的) enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet
& American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they
read on health websites. They shouldn"t look up "headache", and the chances of finding reliable and
complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an
April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored
as "high quality". Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one
research team to warm that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate(错误的) and even dangerous
information exists on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don"t know the safe way to surf the web. "They use a search
engine(工具) like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that"s risky, because almost
anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative (有权威的), so it"s hard to know whether what
you"re reading is reasonable or not," says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
B. turn to Internet pharmacies for help
C. like to play deadly games with doctors
D. are skeptical about surfing medical websites
B. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors
C. are afraid to face the truth of their health
D. are afraid to misuse their health insurance
B. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit
C. about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high quality
D. 72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts
B. It"s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
C. It"s reasonable to put up a medical website.
D. It"s dangerous to be your own doctor.
B. It"s fun for Americans to play doctors.
C. Recent studies showed that the Internet was not in order.
D. You can trust what you"re reading on the Internet.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them.
Their values-this can"t be repeated too often-are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort,
cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time
to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old
person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But
is it interfering(干涉) with personal
freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better
care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying
this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and
safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is l
ike a car, it needs more mechanical
maintenance(机械维修,保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the
provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however
good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right
to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to
activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can"t ask doctors or scientists to decide,
because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on
the principle that while there"s life, there"s hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy
or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
B. The moral problems raised by old people.
C. The personal freedom for the old.
D. Old people"s viewpoint on life.
B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.
C. Very old people like to live with their children.
D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people
3. According to the author, which of the following is right?
B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people"s values.
C. The human body can"t be compared to a car.
D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.
B. the conclusion you come to
C. your talk to the old people
D. whether age is happy or unpleasant
