In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by gre
35、ater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to expose corruption or to promote the public interest. What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he
36、 feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should the doctors deny that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least conceal the truth until after the family vacati
37、on? Doctors confront such choices often and urgently. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient“s own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones. Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth
38、 about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide. As one physician wrote: “Ours is a profession which traditionally has been guided by a precept that transcends the virtue of uttering
39、 the truth for truth“s sake, and that is “as far as possible do no harm.“ But the illusory nature of the benefits is now coming to be documented. Studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, an overwhelming majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about grave illness,
40、 and feel betrayed when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery. There is urgent need to debate this issue ope
41、nly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to be wary of professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to
42、become deeply rooted, to spread, and to erode trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don“t know can“t hurt you.“（分数：5.00）(1).According to the author“s opinion, lies _.（分数：1.00）A.can benefit the patients.B.can help
43、the patients to recoveryC.can do nothing to the patients“ illnessD.can not benefit the patients(2).Which of the following statements is not true?（分数：1.00）A.Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.B.The truthful information helps
44、 patients to deal with their illness.C.There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not to the patients.D.It is true that “What you don“t know can“t hurt.“(3).What is the main idea of the last paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.B.Neither in medicine, nor in law, go
45、vernment, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying. “What you don“t know can“t hurt you.“C.The public has every reason to be wary of professional deception.D.We need to discuss this issue in medicine, but not in other professions.(4).What does the author mainly discuss in the pa

48、he left as well. It all depends on what you want to learn from pitch, Donald Wong of the Indiana School of Medicine in Indianapolis told the meeting last week. Earlier studies have shown that when an English speaker hears pitch changes, the right prefrontal cortex leaps into action. This fits in wit
49、h the idea that emotive nuances of languagewhich in English are often carried by the rise and fall of the voiceare perceived on the fight. But in “tonal“ languages like Thai, Mandarin and Swedish, pitch not only carries emotional information, but can also alter the meaning of a word. Wong and his colleagues suspected that a speaker of tonal language would register pitch in .the left side of the brainin particular Broca“s area, which processes the linguistic content of language. To test this, the team asked English speakers a
