34、 the “appreciative“ receiver of the gifts and attention of friends and family members; one role as a consumer of newspapers, magazines and other small items purchased from a hospital attendant; and a role as acquaintance of a number of friendly hospital personnel. Or consider your status as a family
35、 member. Your status includes a variety of roles, for example, parent and child, uncle, spouse, and cousin. Clearly, a role does not exist in a social vacuum; it is a bundle of activities that are connected with the activities of other people. For this reason there can be no professors without stude
36、nts, no husbands without wives, no whites without nonwhites, and no lawyers without clients. Roles affect us as sets of norms that define our duties the actions others can legitimately insist that we perform, and our fight the actions we can legitimately insist that others perform. Every role has at
37、 least one reciprocal role attached to it; the fights of one role are the duties of the other role. As we have noted, we have a social niche for the sick. Sick people have fights our society says they do not have to function in usual ways until they get well. But sick people also have the duty to ge
38、t well and “not enjoy themselves too much.“ The sick role also entails an appeal to another party the physician. The physician must perceive the patient as trying to get well this is the physicians right and the patients duty. And the patient must see the doctor as sincere the patients fight and the
39、 physicians duty. It should come as no surprise that the quality of medical care falters when patient and physician role expectations break down. One way that people are linked in groups is through networks of reciprocal roles. Role relationships tie us to one another because the rights of one end o
40、f the relationship are the duties of the other. People experience these stable relationships as social structure a hospital, a college, a family, a gang, an army, and so on. 86 If your are a patient, you take on all the following roles EXCEPT the role as_. （ A） a friend of your fellow patients （ B）
41、a staff member of the hospital （ C） the receiver of the treatment （ D） a buyer of medicines 87 The example of the family member in Paragraph one is used to convey the idea that_. （ A） roles involve both duties and rights corresponding to them （ B） a role set forms a network of interdependencies （ C）
42、 family roles are far more complex than they appear （ D） family members have more duties than patients 88 Which of the following may be one of the doctors duties? （ A） See to it that the patient gets well as soon as possible （ B） Make sure that the patient doesn t enjoy himself too much （ C） Ask the
43、 patient to be cooperative in the treatment （ D） Perceive the patient as eager to get well 89 A role is best defined in its relation to_. （ A） another status （ B） its obligation （ C） other roles （ D） its importance 89 Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earths surface. But earthq
44、uakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles; Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the tot
45、al number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small. The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house
46、with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed
47、 and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths m earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result. , The United Nations has played an im
48、portant part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area.
49、 If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past. There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides.) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earth
