In medicine as in law, government, and other l
34、ines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater 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 ch
35、eckup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he 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? Sh
36、ould they at least conceal the truth until after the family vacation?Doctors confront such choices often and urgently. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believ
37、e that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth 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
38、been guided by a precept that transcends the virtue of uttering the truth for truths 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 pati
39、ents do want to be told the truth, even about grave illness, 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
40、after surgery.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly. 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 professio
41、nal deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to 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 dont know cant hurt you.“61 According to the authors opinion, lies_.（
42、A）can benefit the patients.（B） can help the patients to recovery（C） can do nothing to the patients illness（D）can not benefit the patients62 Which of the following statements is not true?（A）Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition
43、.（B） The truthful information helps 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 dont know cant hurt.“63 What is the main idea of the last paragraph ?（A）There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.（B） Neith
44、er in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying. “What you dont know cant 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.64 What does the
45、author mainly discuss in the passage?（A）Deception is beneficial to patients.（B） Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.（C） Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.（D）Who benefits from deception.65 The reasons that the doctors lie to the patients are_.（A）se
46、riously ill patients do not want to be told the truth（B） informing them risks destroying their hope（C） telling truth may make them deteriorate faster（D）all the above65 English speakers pick up pitch in the right hemispheres of their brains, but speakers of certain other languages perceive it on the
47、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 with th
48、e idea that emotive nuances of languagewhich in English are often carried by the rise and fall of the voice are perceived on the right.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 collea
49、gues suspected that a speaker of tonal language would register pitch in the left side of the brain in particular Brocas area, which processes the linguistic content of language.To test this, the team asked English speakers and Thai speakers to listen to 80 pairs of Thai words, and tracked the blood flow in their brains using positron emission tomography. The volunteers had to decide whether the two words sounded the same, either by co
