  If you ever felt like your doctor was trying to push you out of the examination room before you had a chance to explain your condition, you are not alone.

  A new study from the Mayo Clinic shows that most people agree on what makes a good doctor and it definitely isn’t one who hurries through a visit.

  A doctor’s skills can affect a patient’s emotional response and recovery very positively or very negatively, a research shows.Based on the new study, which surveyed 192 patients, it can be concluded that a model doctor should be confident, sympathetic, kind, personal forthright, respectful and thorough.

  “What every patient wants is a doctor who pays them personal attention,”said James Li, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic Division of Allergic Diseases.Li is helping to develop programs for teaching doctors how to strengthen their interactions(互動(dòng))with patients.

  “It’s really the duty of the medical community to design a health care system, so that doctors are able to exhibit those qualities for the good of the patients,”he said.

  Many patients nowadays are directed to urgent care facilities or, for lack of good insurance, forced to go to emergency rooms for problems that used to be handled right away.In either case, wait time can be hours and actual face time with a doctor might be just seconds.

  “The days when doctors remembered their patients’ names might no longer exit, but medical schools can fill in this crack by incorporating the seven behavioral things into their training,”Li said.

  “If patients have opportunities to tell their stories, to be asked questions and have the doctors describe understanding of what has been shared, it leaves them feeling like they’re heard.”Li said.

  The days of a pain-free visit to the dentist may not be far off.This is thanks to a little Japanese woman in a pink sweater, named Simroid.With a limited vocabulary, Simroid, the 160cm-tall robot is happy to feel your pain.

  Simroid is designed to be used at medical colleges.She has realistic looking skin, eyes, and a mouth fitted with replica(仿制)teeth.Her chest also rises and falls as if she is breathing.Simroid releases a clear“ouch!”whenever a trainee dentist presses her teeth too hard with a tool.And she gives a reassuring“that's better”when the drill hits the right place.

  “We want to use the robots to train dentists to worry about whether patients are comfortable, and not just focus on medical techniques,”said Naotake Shubui, a professor at Nippon Dental University in Japan who helped develop Simroid.

  The robot was one of hundreds of cutting-edge devices on display at the world's biggest robot exhibition last week in Japan.

  As scientists improve the design of robots, they could soon be serving tea to office workers or directing shoppers.Today's robots look and act much like the humans who invented them.

  In Japan, robots can already be found working as home helps, office receptionists and security guards, as well as on the factory floor.There were more than 370,000 industrial robots in use in Japan in 2005, according to a report by Macquarie bank,40 percent of the world total, with 32 robots for every 1,000 workers.The economy ministry believes that the Japanese robot market will be worth more than $52 billion by 2025.

  Human work is being helped, and even replaced, by mechanical efficiency in almost every area, from golf-bag carriers to public toilet cleaners.

  But many scientists believe the age of the service robot is not far off.It will arrive once machines are capable of connecting with humans on an emotional level.Judging by the Tokyo exhibition, that process has already begun.

(1)

Simroid is designed to ________.

[  ]

A.

aid dental trainees to focus on their medical techniques

B.

train dentists to be able to share patients' feelings

help patients relax during dental surgery

serve as the dentists' assistance during dental surgery

B.

She will let out a scream whenever she feels a pain.

C.

She can communicate a lot with dentists.

D.

She is able to react in a human–like way to mouth pain.

(3)

We can learn from the text that ________.

[  ]

A.

robots are widely used in Japan

B.

Japan has taken the lead in developing robots

C.

the Japanese robot market has greatest potential in the world

D.

the world's biggest robot exhibition is held in Japan every year

The Touchstone

  When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved.But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for very little money.

  The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed.It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the“Touchstone”!The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold.

  The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.But the secret was this:The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.

  So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles.He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times.So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea.He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.Yet he went on and on this way.Pick up a pebble.Cold-throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Throw it into the sea.

  The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months.One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm.He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done.He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away.

  So it is with opportunity.Unless we are careful, it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand, and it's just as easy to throw it away.

[  ]

A.

he wanted to read it

cold

magic

(3)

Why did the man throw the pebbles into the sea?

C.

Because he didn't like their ordinary looks.

They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy’s tummy.

  Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her,” he says. Week two in intensive care. It looks as if a funeral will come before the week is over.

  If he doesn’t see his sister now, he may never see her alive. She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, “Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed.” The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face, her lips a firm line. “He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!” Karen tows Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings:

  “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray — ”

Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.

  Keep on singing, Michael. “You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away —“ The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten’s purr.

Keep on singing, Michael. “The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms...” Michael’s little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her.

  Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glows. “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don’t, take my sunshine away.”

Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home!
