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
