28、at she had to work hard every day.But one night as she sat at the table,the lady said to herself,“I wish I could be of some use to the world.Why cant I do good to someone else besides myself?”At last,she came up with an idea.She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailor

29、s every night.She found that 4 ships sometimes hit the rocks in the sea,since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night.Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast.The lady felt glad when the thought came into her mind.She found that,if she work

30、ed an hour longer each night,she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp.So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night.In this way she saved many lives.She did this for five years without any reward,or the hope of reward.Howeve

31、r,good deeds are often found out.The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries.They sent her tea from China,cloth from India,silk from France and grapes from Spain.But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy.She gave many of them to the poo

35、D.Love for the Poor.C Most people will experience at least one wrong medical diagnosis in their lifetime,resulting in health problems,psychological suffering and financial cost,according to a new report.Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect(回顾),researchers said more work n

36、eeds to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can change peoples life in the distant future.“Diagnosis is a collective effort that often involves a team of health care professionals from primary care physicians to nurses,”said John Ball,chairman of the committee which w

37、rote the report.“The type of a single physician observing a patient case and deciding a diagnosis is not always accurate,and a diagnostic error is not always due to human errors.Therefore,to make it possible to reduce diagnostic errors,we have to look more broadly at the entire process of how a diag

38、nosis is made.”The researchers said there are not enough data on diagnostic errors,and efforts to improve diagnosis and reduce errors have not been frequent.The medical culture discourages transparency and makes it more difficult to correct them.The blame lies in cooperation and communication betwee

39、n members of medical teams treating patients,patients themselves,and their families.Besides this,researchers found the healthcare system is not designed for the collaboration needed in the diagnostic process and that diagnosis will continue to worsen if new ideas are not put forward.The committee re

40、commended more information,from electronic health records to test results,be made more easily available to families and caregivers,to help them better learn and understand what is going on with their health.Creating an environment for patients to question a diagnosis or add information about their c

41、ondition could also help better influence diagnosis.Most significantly,the researchers said methods need to be established to make communication between 5 doctors and patients easier.Doctors currently are not encouraged or paid to communicate with patients as much as they should be.46.It can be infe

42、rred from the new report that _.A.new ways are found to avoid diagnostic errors B.diagnostic errors have a great influence on people C.nobody can avoid those diagnostic errors D.diagnostic errors are difficult to be found 47.Why does the medical culture make the correction of diagnostic errors so di

43、fficult?A.For lack of advanced technological equipment.B.For lack of strict rules of managing the medical environment.C.For lack of enough professional knowledge about medicinal treatment.D.For lack of cooperation and communication between physicians,patients and their families.48.What does Para.4 m

44、ainly talk about?A.Advice on reducing diagnostic errors.B.New ways to better protect patients.C.Researches on the diagnostic process.D.Communication between patients and doctors.49.Why is communication between doctors and patients not much?A.Because of the different belief.B.Because of the current r

45、ules.C.Because of being short of money.D.Because of the medical situation.50.The passage most probably comes from _.A.a hospital advertisement B.a science book C.a medical magazine D.a research report D Id planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair o

46、f crows.Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made travelled through our neighborhood.I figured theyd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighb

47、ors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly sti

48、ll as my dog inched towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from ab

49、ove.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.To be honest,Ive never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds,and by“healthy”I mean slightly fear-based.Theyre basically living dinosaurs.I wish theyd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days i

50、n Seattle,and I still cant do any gardening out there.But Im also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.Its pretty amazing.The experience has also reinforced my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are w
