4 . When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe “more is better.” But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone.

Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X－rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she developed a cold.     She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six－month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.

After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups. “It's a really hard thing to determine when they've crossed the line，” Mr. Power said. “You think she's getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the purpose？” Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power's condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.

5 . Patients with light or moderate depression can be successfully treated by swimming with dolphins, researchers said on Saturday.

The study was carried out in Honduras, including patients who were thought by the doctors with light of moderate depression coming from the United States and Honduras.

For two weeks, half of the group swam and snorkeled (潜泳) with dolphins for an hour a day. At the same time the other half group carried out the same type of water activities, but with the absence of dolphins. Researchers want to find out the influence of water and the natural setting.

All the study volunteers didn’t continue to take any drugs or psychotherapy ( 心理治疗) at least for weeks before the start of the study and did not take any drugs during the study, said the researchers from the division of clinical Psychiatry at t e the University of Leicester Medical School.

By the end of the study, those people who swam with the dolphins had a greater average reduction in their depressive symptoms than those who did not.

The researchers noted that the study supports the theory of biophilia, which thinks that human health and well-being depends partly on the human connection with the natural world. The findings appeared in the issue of the British Medical Journal.

Coming from the Greek, biophilia means “love of life”, and it has been developed by biologists to reflect the humans’ natural tendency to connect with nature and animals, leading to interactions and positive emotions that result in psychological treatment.

A．Because the drugs had no effect at all.

B．Because they didn’t want to take drugs.

C．Because the result of study might be affected.

D．Because they wanted to make the study easier.

2. What can we infer from the text?

A．We should often swim with dolphins.

B．Nature and animals are important to human beings.

C．Dolphins need to be protected by human beings.

D．There are no effective drugs to treat depression.

3. Which of the following statements about biophilia is TRUE?

A．The English word means “love of life”.

B．The biologists understand it in a new way.

C．Actually we don’t use the word any longer.

D．It’s a new way to swim with dolphins.

4. What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Swimming with dolphins can treat depression.

B．Patients with depression like swimming with dolphins.

C．What’s the relationship between dolphins and people.

D．Dolphins are smarter than other animals.
