6 . As a first responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old paramedic(急救医务人员) since 1984.

Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.

Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.

＂You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have,＂ the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.

＂That day changed my life,＂ Lanenberg said. ＂Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life.＂

1. What did Lanenberg do with the young man?

A．It was unbelievable.	B．It was a common routine.
C．It was a matter of course.	D．It was a dangerous situation.

A．Lanenberg helped bring up his little son.

B．Lanenberg donated to support his family.

C．Lanenberg gave him the present happy life.

D．Lanenberg taught his son to be a new doctor.

4. How did the meeting change Lanenberg’s life?

7 . Friendly doctors are “bad for their patients’ health”, researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.

Blurring (使……模糊) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.

“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names.” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”

It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤科医生) under the age of 40, found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care.

Lesley Fallowfield, of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said: “Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease; conveying the true prognosis (预后); discussing the complexity of modern treatments; and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side-effects of treatment, and likely treatment aims.”

But she said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”

She said: “The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like this person, how can I bear to tell them that they’re going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”

1. Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients’health?

A．They don’t like to cheat patients.

B．They are not good at treating patients.

C．They find it not easier to be objective to the patients.

D．They seldom blur the relationship with patients.

2. What should doctors do according to the regulations?

A．Add patients as friends on Facebook.

B．Have close connection with patients in life.

C．Always be cold to patients.

D．Keep a proper distance to patients.

3. Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?

A．Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.

B．The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.

C．It’s not the duty of doctors to deal with patients’ anxiety.

D．Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.

4. Young oncologists will face the following challenges except_____________.

A．dealing with a lot of life-threatening diseases

B．discussing difficulties of treatment with patients

C．explaining the reason for the lack of some medicine

D．informing patients of the possible results of the treatment
