People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor’s office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor’s treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modern age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patients’ heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as a medical examination. The stethoscope—with all other medical instruments—has a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors become better at finding the medical problems. More lives are saved. At the same time, doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stop talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study.【B1】______ The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey. Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you’ re at the beginner’ s level, there are two options: reading a children’ s book or reading a book that you’ ve read in Chinese translation.【B2】______ If you’ re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners(Nobel, Pulitzer)are good options. 【B3】______When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’ s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve.【B4】______ Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there: the Narnia series: anything by U. S. writer Michael Crichton: and if you like horror, U. S. writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun.【B5】______ Happy reading! [A]If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful. [B]The most important thing is to pick a book that you’ re really interested in. [C]You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family. [D]You should just find a topic or author you’ re interested in, and the rest will go from there.

[G]This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’ re already familiar with the story.

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study. But the way to test a student’s knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system. It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student’s memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student’s ability. It does no good to students and teachers. As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examinations that will decide his future job. In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that. Students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more new knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies. Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a student’s ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.

Although the women’ s rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent development, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were dependents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no property rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the “head of the family“. The first public protests(请愿)against the low position of women were made in the 1830 s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制)activities as well)assembled the first Women’s Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as in the long, hard fight for women’ s vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱). They were said to be immoral(违反伦理的), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, “career women“ were largely restricted(受限制)to teaching, nursing, and office work. The Women’ s Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work“. In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality. The main purpose of Women’ s Liberation to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Women’ s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, “all men are created equal“ really means “all human beings are created equal“.

What will the woman do for the man?
