Psychology has a new application in the field of medicine.Many doctors，together with their patients，are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems.In large hospitals，modern therapy(疗法)seems to focus on the physical disease.Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines.Some doctors have recognized this as a problem.They are now using psychological therapy，in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her，but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically.The body of the patient changes because of the disease.He is not only physically affected，but also has an emotional response to the disease.Because his mind is affected，and his attitude and behavior change.The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems，but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones.For example，the studies of one doctor，Carl Simonton，M.D.，have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes.She typically feels depressed，upset，and angry.Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family，friends，doctors，and nurses.Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery.Therefore，a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that.Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient. The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy，an Xray treatment，can become more positive.The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor(肿瘤)in the body.In the mental picture，the patient“sees”a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy.The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink.For another cancer patient，Dr.Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells.The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carrying away the dead cells.Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease. Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works.However，this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change.They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease. Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy.At first，the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply.The patient thinks only about one thing.He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep，or rather in a trance(催眠状态)．Then the physician makes“a suggestion”to the patient about the medical problem.The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance.In this way，the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children.For example，physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease.Furthermore，sometimes the adult patient worries about his illness so much that the anxiety keeps him from getting well.The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious.Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic(慢性的)diseases.Asthma(哮喘)is an example of a chronic disorder.Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing.The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs.Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder.After suggestion therapy，the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children.Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it.For example，Dr.Basil R．Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney，Australia，and had good results.Twentyfive of the children had excellent results.They were able to breathe more easily，and they did not need medication.Another fortythree were also helped.The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently，and when they did，they were not as strong.Most of the children also felt better about themselves.Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nailbiting，thumbsucking，and sleeprelated problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.1．What does the passage mainly discuss?A． How to use the mind against disease.B． How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C． Responses from the medical world.D． How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.2．How does psychological therapy work?A． The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B． The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C． The doctor，the medicine，and the patient work together to fight disease.D． The patient uses his mind to cure himself.3．What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton，M.【D】?A． The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B． The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C． The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D． Few patients have emotional response to the disease.4．The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that________.A． the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB． the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC． the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD． the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them5．It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to________.A． help adults deal with the strong pain of some diseasesB． help the patients with chronic diseasesC． help change some bad habitsD． help cure patients of insomnia(失眠症)6.According to the passage，which of the following remains unknown so far?A． The value of mental therapy.B． The effectiveness of suggestion therapy.C． The working principle of suggestion therapy.D． The importance of psychology in medical treatment.

How Can We Prevent Medical Errors For more than 20 years, trial lawyer Rick Boothman defended doctors and hospitals in malpractice lawsuits. The job taught him plenty about the disconnect between the defensive behavior practiced by the medical establishment and the humane treatment patients want. So when the University of Michigan Health System needed a new in-house attorney in 2001, Boothman made an offer: hire me and revolutionize your approach. We’ll be up front with. patients when medical errors happen, and we’ll pay quickly when a case warrants it, rather than dragging everybody into court. "It’s the decent thing to do," says Boothman. A new study published in August found that since Michigan adopted Boothman’s program of disclosure and compensation, lawsuits have declined and legal-defense costs have dropped by 61 percent. There’s no proof that acknowledging mistakes led directly to savings, but it didn’t cause a malpractice frenzy either. "The sky doesn’t fall in when you are open and honest," he says. Boothman’s approach is part of an expanding push nationwide to tackle one of medicine’s most complicated and painful blights (摧残). In 1999 the Institute of Medicine’s report found that as many as 98,000 Americans die every year from preventable medical errors―a number many experts now believe is conservative. Since then, incorrect diagnoses, needless infections, drug mix-ups, and surgical accidents have piled up as doctors face an onslaught (猛攻) of patients, an abundance of imperfect information, and an ill-served tradition of shaming and blaming individual practitioners when things go wrong. "Health care," says Dr. Lucian Leape, a pioneer in patient safety and chair of the Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation in Boston, "remains fundamentally unsafe." The debate over health-care reform spotlighted major weaknesses in the U.S. medical system, including errors. Even before the law’s passage, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services―now headed by Dr. Donald Berwick-announced it would no longer reimburse hospitals for the cost of preventable complications, such as wrong-type blood transfusions. Twenty-eight states now require hospitals to report infection rates to the public．And the reform law mandates that hospitals with high infection rates will see their Medicare payments reduced by 1 percent starting in 2015． What is clear is that the culture of medicine must change．Books recently Published by Harvard’s Dr． Atul Gawande(The Checklist Manifesto)and Johns Hopkins’s Dr．Peter Pronovost(Safe Patients,Smart Hospitals)are calling on doctors and hospitals to institute checklists modeled on the aviation industry to improve safety．Patients are exposing harmful experiences and mobilizing on the Internet．Some doctors are humanizing the problem by talking publicly about mistakes they committed，defying the pervasive fear of lawsuits and professional shame．And hospitals are creating educational programs for staff. Harvard’s Institute for Professionalism and Ethical Practice developed an interactive workshop focused on the difficult conversations that arise after mistakes occur；more than 500 doctors，nurses，and other specialists have been trained so far,and the program is now being offered to other health systems nationwide．“Everybody is interested in learning how to do better”says Dr．Robert Truog，the institute’s executive director．“We’re still very much on the steep part of the learning curve．” Undoing a culture is hard，especially one steeped in hierarchy(等级制度)，where doctors tend to reign supreme and nurses，pharmacists，and technicians fall into the ranks below．“What underlies it is arrogance，”says Pronovost，an anesthesiologist(麻醉学家)and director of Hopkins’s Quality and Safety Research Group．In his book he describes a run-in with a surgeon who refused to switch from latex(胶乳)to non-latex gloves during an operation．despite Pronovost’s concern that the patient was having a potentially fatal latex-allergy reaction．It was only after a nurse picked up the phone to call the hospital president that the surgeon relented． This is not a rare event．Even when there are clear directions for safety, doctors tend to continue completing tasks in the way they’re used to．Take the insertion of central-line catheters(中央线导管)， which deliver medications to sick patients．The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed guidelines for preventing infections triggered by the procedure，but obedience is spotty．Every year some 80，000 patients develop central-line infections and about 30，000 die，at a cost of more than 2 billion． “For decades，harm has been viewed as inevitable rather than preventable．”says Pronovost．“We’ve learned to tolerate it．” In 2001 Pronovost created a five-point central-line checklist―boiled down from the CDC’s lengthy guidelines―which includes washing hands and removing catheters when they’re no longer needed．One year after it was instituted at Hopkins，infection rates had dropped to almost zero．A network of Michigan hospitals that adopted the checklist slashed infections by two thirds，saving more than 1,500 lives and200 million in the first 18 months．Still，a survey released this summer by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology says the battle to reduce central-line infections continues because hospitals aren’t dedicating the time and educational resources necessary,and health-care leaders aren’t committed to solving the problem．When Pronovost asks nurses if they’d speak up if a senior physician isn’t complying with the checklist，“I am uniformly laughed at，”he says，“They say,‘Are you nuts’” After he became CEO of Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle，Dr．Gary Kaplan mandated a simple but critical reform to make his hospital a patient．driven，not physician－driven，institution．Based on techniques learned at Toyota’s production－system plants in Japan，where factory workers pull a cord to stop a production-line error,Kaplan and his team instituted a“patient safety alert”system．All staff members． even medical students，are instructed to report concerns，whether they’re major mistakes or near misses． The most serious errors must be deemed“mistake-proofed”――steps have been taken to prevent them altogether―not just by medical professionals，but by public board members，too．Shirley Sherman，who started as an ICU nurse at VMMC in 1983, remembers how problems used to be handled. "It was just between you and your manager," she says. "It felt very blamelike." Today, errors are considered a flaw in the system, not an individual weakness. These are lessons that doctors must learn from the start. But medical school curricula are jammed full with the details of science and the latest technology; the cultivation of social and emotional sensitivity and teamwork is lacking. That’s deemed to be "the soft stuff", says Denise Murphy, vice president for quality and patient safety at Main Line Health System in suburban Philadelphia. And yet, she says, a breakdown in communication and collaboration can lead to horrible events that result in harm or death. "We have to change our thinking," she says. Earlier this year, Leape published a report saying medical schools are failing to teach future physicians the most urgent lessons about why mistakes happen and how to prevent them. The report calls on schools to teach patient safety as a basic science, to train students to work in teams with nurses and pharmacists, and to have "zero tolerance" for disrespectful or abusive behavior, which can lead to mistakes. "On the surface, this seems pretty obvious, and yet this is a radical idea," says Leape. "It’s a big cultural change." It can be done. Five years ago, Dr. David Mayer, an anesthesiologist and associate dean for education at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, launched an annual roundtable meeting with safety leaders, policymakers, and patients to brainstorm better training. Students must now take workshops on risk reduction and simulate tasks in a hospitallike setting so that they can craft both their technical skills and their interaction with team members. A culture of openness makes sense to Mengyao Liang, a fourth-year student. "It’s not a sign of weakness to say ’I made a mistake,’" he says. "I think our generation will say, ’Why are you not questioning me’ I think that’s going to be a huge change." One that can’t come soon enough.There are so many patients that die from central-line infections every year because ______. A. there are no clear directions for preventing such infectionsB. this kind of harm to patients is inevitableC. the skill of the insertion of central-line catheters is immatureD. doctors don’t do their tasks as what the guidelines require

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
