Read each passage carefully, and then to the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choicesgiven and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracketson your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage OneAs many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can‟t remember where we put the keys just a moment ago or an old acquaintance‟s name. As the brain fades, we refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.”While seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there‟s actually a lot that can be done. It turns out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way out muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive functions. Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain. Because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate according to mental effort.A new company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program”, called Lumosity, to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness. Lumosity is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That‟s because they have integrated these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feedback on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing –much like an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.Apparently it works. In randomized, controlled clinical trials Lumosity was shown to significantly improve basic cognitive functions. One study showed students improved their scores on math tests by 34 percent after using Lumosity for six weeks. The company says its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory, increased alertness and awareness, elevated mood, and better concentration at work or while driving.While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a modest subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe. The company believes the results will speak for themselves.51. What can we learn about “senior moments”?A. They are nothing to be worried about.B. They happen to each middle-aged person.C. They mostly happen to the elders.D. They are signs of declining memory.52. Neuroscientists are beginning to find that _______.A. cognitive functions can be improved by mental effortB. intelligence varies with the amount of physical exerciseC. “senior moments” are quite useful at workD. our brain and muscles should be trained differently53. From Paragraph 3, it can be concluded that Lumosity _______.A. is just an online place to exercise your mental skillsB. requires the users to keep doing the same gamesC. is a set of exercises intended for the mentally-retardedD. can help users make improvement in the brain54. Clinical trials have proved that Lumosity _______.A. is better than reportedB. is highly effective and beneficialC. should be under strict controlD. leaves much to be desired55. Which of the following statements is true about Lumosity?A. Access to these games is quite expensive.B. Chronic users have to pay for the access to the games.C. All the games at Lumosity are free of charge.D. Access to the games is limited to subscribers.56. The main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A. present the new findings of neuroscientistsB. remind the middle-aged to take physical exerciseC. describe how Lumosity came into beingD. introduce how braining training makes you smarterPassage TwoAccording to psychology professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University, “Praising children for being smart can backfire.” If this doesn‟t get the attention of Millennium parents, I‟m not sure what will.It is my observation that so many parents today believe that if their child appears to be the beast bit “advanced” for his age, he‟s destined to be the next Albert Einstein, Tiger Woods, or Bill Gates. It‟s human nature for mom and dad to show much admiration for their child and dish out praise for accomplishments achieved. The problem is, according to this study, parents may not be doing the best thing by praising their child for his intelligence.Dweck‟s research involved junior high students in New York and concluded that “classroom performance improved when her study subjects believed the brain is like a muscle that can grow.”Students who “focused on the learning process (effort, concentration or strategies used) asked for feedback and did better in all subjects.” Feedback such as, …You did well because you worked so hard‟or …You used so many descriptive words to make this story interesting‟can encourage children to try new things, as they are being rewarded for their effort. When the …time and effort‟strategy is being positively reinforced, the child will probably use the same strategy next time they are learning something. Over time new strategies can be introduced, so the child‟s repertoire of strategies is broadened.Dweck goes on to say that “they (students who improved) performed better because their success was being measured by effort, not by test scores or grades.” Parents should praise effort,not just results. Children who received praise about their innate abilities (talents or strengths) had less chance of trying new things and became anxious and under performed as things became more difficult. That is one of the greatest dangers to continually praising children for whatever they do in order to falsely raise a child‟s self-esteem.What are mom and dad to do? Offer genuine praise and encouragement for effort and successes, but balance this with setting appropriate expectations and following up with consequences when the child falls short due to laziness. Don‟t make excuses. Your child will better face the challenges life has to offer in the future when you as a parent recognize the efforts he is making today.57. The underline word “backfire” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. create some miraclesB. produce an undesirable resultC. be negligible to some extentD. be motivating and inspiring58. Which of the following can be considered proper feedback?A. You did really well on this spelling test, you must have spent hours practicing your words.B. Oh, honey, you‟re so smart – that failing grade won‟t matter anyway.C. This is a wonderful painting. What a great artist you are!D. You did really well on this spelling test, you are very clever.59. A child who is praised for his effort and strategy is likely to ________.A. have his learning strategies increasedB. feel inferior to the smart childrenC. have falsely high self-esteemD. expect more praise and encouragement60. Praising a child for his talent may ________.A. encourage him to try new thingsB. motivate him to greater effortsC. leave him less prepared for challengesD. put his life at risk in case of failure61. The author‟s advice to parents is _______.A. to expose the child to greater challengesB. not to expect too much of a childC. to forbid the child to make any excusesD. to combine praise with constructive criticism62. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?A. Never Praise Your Child for Any of His AchievementsB. Praise Your Child, But Not for Being SmartC. How to Reward a Child for His EffortD. Praise – a Must for the Child‟s FuturePassage ThreeAs a new matchmaker, internet dating sites promise two cutting edges: a vastly greater choice of potential partners and scientifically proven way of matching suitable people together.The greater choice is unarguable. But does is lead to better outcomes? And do the “scientifically tested methods”actually work? These are the questions asked by a team of psychologists led by Eli Finkel.The researchers‟ first observation is how any of the much-boasted partner-matching methods actually works. Many firms preserve their intellectual property as trade secrets, and there is no reason why internet dating sites should not be among them. But this renders claims of effectiveness impossible to test objectively. There is thus no independent scientific evidence that any of these methods does enhance the chance of their hitting it off when they meet.It is possible to test the value of a claim that they match people with compatible personality traits. However, Dr Dyrenforth asked more than 20,000 people about their relationships and assessed their personalities. Members of couples with similar personalities were indeed happier than those without. But the difference was just 0.5%.Surely, the chances of finding that magic other are increased by the second thing internet dating brings: a multitude of choice. But here, too, things are not as simple as they might seem.An assumption behind all consumer decisions is that what people think they want is what they actually need. And the data suggest people are not good at knowing what they want. One of Dr Finkel‟s own studies showed that when they are engaged in speed dating, people‟s stated preferences at the beginning of the process do not well match the characters of the individuals they actually like. When faced with abundant choices, people pay less attention to characteristics that require thinking and conversation to evaluate and more to matters physical. Choice, in other words, dulls the critical faculties.Finkel‟s conclusion is that love is as hard to find on the internet as elsewhere. You may be just as likely to luck out in the local café, or by acting on the impulse to stop and talk to that stranger on the street whose glance you caught, as you are by clicking away with a mouse and hoping that, one day, Cupid‟s arrow will strike.63. The effectiveness of the dating sites is difficult to verify scientifically because they ________.A. keep their intellectual property secretB. have two cutting edgesC. adopt strange matching methodsD. are good at deception as evidenced64. The expression “hit it off” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. say goodbyeB. get along wellC. get hurtD. dislike each other65. Dr. Dyrenforth found that couples with different personalities ________.A. were much less happy than those with similar personalitiesB. were more likely to divorce than those with similar personalitiesC. were almost as happy as those with similar personalitiesD. were much happier than those with similar personalities66. According to Paragraph 6, the abundance of choices offered by the dating sites ________.A. can increase the chance of finding ideal partnersB. helps people to become better aware of what they wantC. divers attention from other mental qualitiesD. leads to exclusive concern with one‟s appearance67. Finkel‟s conclusion is that ________.A. it is impossible to find true love on the Internet wherever you areB. you are as likely to find love through chance encounters as via the InternetC. you are more likely to find love through these online dating sitesD. you can find love more easily by talking to a stranger on the street68. The researchers‟ attitude towards these Internet dating sites is ________.A. suspicionB. confidenceC. objectionD. recommendationPassage FourMany countries have made it illegal to talk into a hand-held mobile phone while driving. But the latest research provides further confirmation that the danger lies less in what a motorist‟s hands do when he takes a call than in what the conversation does to his brain. Even using a “hands-free” device can impair a driver‟s attention to an alarming extent.Melina Kunar of the University of Warwick and Todd Horowitz of the Harvard Medical School ran a series of experiments in which two groups of volunteers had to pay attention and respond to a series of moving tasks on a computer screen that were reckoned equivalent in difficulty to driving. One group was left undistracted while the other had to engage in a conversation about their hobbies using a speakerphone. As Dr Kunar and Dr Horowitz report in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, those who were making the equivalent of a hands-free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not. That, they calculate, would add 5.7 meters to the braking distance of a car traveling at 100kph. They found that the group using the hands-free kit made 83 percent more errors in their tasks than those who were not talking.They also explored the effect of simply listening to something – such as a radio program. For this they played a recording of the first chapter of Bram Stoker‟s “Dracula”. Even though the test subjects were told to pay attention because they would be asked questions about the story afterwards, it had little effect on their reaction times. Dr Kunar reckons that having to think about responses during a phone conversation competes for the brain‟s resources in a way that listening to a monologue does not. The research led by Frank Drews of the University of Utah suggests the same thing is true of the idle chatter of a passenger.Punishing people for using hand-held gadgets while driving is difficult enough, even though they can be seen from outside the car. Stopping people making hands-free calls would probably be impossible – especially because more and more vehicles are now being fitted with the necessary equipment as standard. Persuading people to switch their phones off altogether when they get behind the wheel might be the only answer. Who knows, they might even come to enjoy not having to take calls. And they‟ll be likelier to arrive in one piece.69. Which body part is most affected by talking into a cell phone when driving?A. Hands.B. Feet.C. EyesD. The brain70. In Kunar and Horowitz‟s experiments, the subjects who performed tasks while talking ______.A. reacted more quickly and made fewer mistakesB. reacted more quickly, but made more mistakesC. reacted more slowly, but made fewer mistakesD. reacted more slowly and made more mistakes71. According to Frank Drews, listening to a passenger talking _______.A. affects drivers more than a phone conversationB. affects drivers more than listening to a storyC. has less effect on the drivers than a phone conversationD. has less effect on the drivers than listening to a story72. The law forbidding the use of hand-held phones when driving _______.A. is necessary and feasibleB. has been frequently brokenC. will arouse heated debateD. has been widely observed73. The best hope of stopping people using hands-free phones lies with _______.A. the lawmakersB. car manufacturersC. drivers themselvesD. new technology74. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. inform people of the danger of using phones while drivingB. call on lawmakers to make new road laws on the use of cell phonesC. offer suggestions for drivers who use cell phones while drivingD. weigh the benefits and harms of using phones when drivingPassage FiveIn these times of fast media and ever-growing Internet, we are under so many external influences that it is anything but easy to think for ourselves. Unless you are a cunning, very aware person, you most likely don‟t even know when your thinking is not your own.Not that all outside influence is bad to forming your own views, but being unable to think for yourself can make you miserable at best, or a puppet of someone else‟s programming, at worst.Admittedly, we are all born into societies or cultures where the norms and customs are already established. We have little choice but to conform to what is already in place. This is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it can be confining and controlling if we accept everything blindly and never question the status quo.Does this mean all of your ideas can be original and unlike everyone else‟s? Not at all!Nor does it require being contrary and argumentative just to be defiant or stand out. To think for yourself means that whatever opinions you hold will be well thought out and arise from thorough investigation and thoughtful analysis. It means choosing to not compromise the facts for the sake of consensus or fitting in. It is not unlike critical thinking – it just brings about a broader scope of choices and decision-making in your life.For example, how many of us feel the need to keep up with …the latest‟? We wear clothes, listen to music and follow trends that the media tells us we should in order to be cool. Marketing companies create ads that tempt us into a herd mentality as we fall into debt, wear fashions that are unbecoming, and get caught up in a cycle of over-spending and then stressing out over it. We are living lives designed for us by the powers without our conscious participation.Another trap we fall into when we don‟t think for ourselves is groupthink. Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that takes place within a group of people who try to avoid conflict and reach agreement without critically evaluating options or alternative ideas. The problem with groupthink is that it hinders finding the best solutions, impedes creative ideas and frustrates independent thinking. Wanting to be part of the crowd can certainly have its drawbacks!75. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.A. it is necessary to take one‟s own interest into considerationB. a clever person is always obedient and unselfishC. independent thinking doesn‟t come easily to usD. the Internet has made humans more thoughtful76. Trying to conform to established ideas ________.A. is something you can easily avoid doingB. is sometimes what we can‟t help doingC. can seldom do any good to youD. rarely happens in modern society77. The ability to think for yourself means that _______.A. your ideas have to be novel and uniqueB. you should never use critical thinkingC. you should try to be defiant and well-knownD. your opinions are based on facts and contemplation78. Paragraph 6 is mainly concerned with ________.A. what we must do to learn to think for ourselvesB. the prevalent outside influence on our livesC. the numerous mistakes we make in daily lifeD. the negative impact of TV commercials on us79. From the last paragraph, it can be concluded that groupthink ________.A. can lead to the loss of individual creativityB. contributes little to group harmony and cohesionC. cares about alternative or different ideasD. encourages independent thinking eventually80. The purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A. define what is independent thinkingB. tell us how to develop original ideasC. describe the consequence of groupthinkD. urges people to think for themselvesPAPER TWOPART V TRANSLATION (30 minutes, 20 points)Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese.

The determination of the magnitude of the health impact is notoriously so tricky as to end up with an astronomical figure probably. No calculation can be complete without formulating practical standards or models for estimating health costs. Costs associated with obesity, breathing illness, and injuries are evidenced by research. Growing recognition of the close connection between transportation, social cohesion and health has resulted in some studies that have achieved compelling findings.Section B (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: Put the following paragraph into English.

这场21世纪的革命---被称为绿色化学---是对环保费用和经济成本的一种反应，这两者通常是这种变革潜在的薄弱环节。

绿色化学的根本理念在于：一种化学品的设计师应负责考虑该化学品投入使用后对世界会产生什么影响。

通过从根本上重新思考化工产品的设计，大学和私营企业的绿色化学家们正在开发制造产品的新办法，以促进我们的经济和生活方式的发展和提高，不再出现近年来极为明显的损害现象。

清除化学废物的费用日益昂贵。

So, it would seem that they can say, yes, it is not. But no, in fact, it is the end.A gloomy study has just been released that says that the international trend towards living aloneis putting an unprecedented strain on our ecosystem.For a number of reasons---- relationship breakdown, career choice, longer life spans, smaller families---- the number of individual households is growing. And this is putting intolerable pressure on natural resources, and accelerating the extinction of endangered plant and animal species. And there is worse news. Running a refrigerator, television, cooker, plumbing system justfor selfish little you is a disastrous waste of resources on our over-populated planet. “The efficiency is a lot higher in households of two people or more, simply because theyof resource consumption”share everything. Well imagine that . Just when you thought living alone was OK, you would findthat all the time you were the enemy of mankind. Every time you put the kettle on the stove for acup of coffee you were destroying Mother Earth. Indeed, it is not just your mother who is a bitworried by your continuing single status ---- you are letting down the entire human race by nothaving a boyfriend or girlfriend. The trouble is that society has a group instinct and people panicand hit out when they see other people quietly rebelling and straying away from the “family and coupledom.The suggestion is that singledom should be at best a temporary state. Unless you are assimilatedinto a larger unit, you can never be fully functional.Try “communal living.”　There are all these illustrations of young attractive people having aFriends.“green time,” laughingly bumping into each other. It looks like an episode of the TV seriesAnd the message is clear: Togetherness is good, solitude is bad, and being single on your own isnot allowed.51. Well-meaning friends and family members often tell those who live alone that _____A they should end their singledom as soon as possible.B they should live together with other singletons.C singledom is an acceptable life-style.D singledom can shorten one’slife-span.52. Which of the following may NOT be the reason for the increasing number of households as mentioned in the passage?A Many people get divorced because of unhappy marriage.B Now people can afford to support a household individually.C Some people have to sacrifice family life for their careers.D Many people live much longerthan before.53. The author thinks living alone is disastrous mainly because singledom is _________A harmful to people’s life.B destructive to our ecosystem.C dangerous to plants and animals.D unworkable in our society54. It is implied in the passage that singletons are usually _______A self-reliantB self-consciousC self-sufficientD self-centered55. When seeing others living alone, some people panic because they think singledom is ____A abnormalB diversifiedC unimaginableD disgusting56. The author suggests that singletons should ___________A find boy friends or girl friends.B live with their parents and other family members.C live together and share more with their friends.D watch more episodes of the TV seriesFriends.Passage TwoIn 1999 when MiShel and Carl Meissner decided to have children, they tackled the next bigissue; Should they try to have a girl? It was no small matter. MiShel’s brother had beco from a hereditary condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is adisorder passed f rom mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 percent chance ofhaving the condition. A girl would be unaffected. The British couple’s inquiries about sex selectionled them to Virginia, U.S., where a new sperm-separation technique, called MicroSort, was experimental at the time. When MiShel became pregnant she gave birth to a daughter. Now theywill try to have a second daughter using the same technique.The techniques separates sperm into two groups--- those that carry the X-chromosome (染色体) producing a female baby and those that carry the Y-chromosome producing a male baby.The technology was developed in 1990s, but the opening of laboratory in January 2003 inCalifornia marked the company’s first expansion. “We believe the number ofpeople who want this technology is greater than those who have access to it.” Said Keith L. Blauer, the companydirector.This is not only a seemingly effective way to select a child’s gender.It also brings a host of ethical and practical considerations ----especially for the majority of families who use the techniquefor nonmedical reasons.The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples avoid passing on a sex-linked genetic disease and to allow those who already have a c hild to “balance” their family by having a baby of the opposite sex.Blaucer said the company has had an impressive success r ate: 91 percent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 percent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful.The technique separates s perm based on the fact that the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome. A machine is used to distinguished the size differences and sort the sperm accordingly.57. Why did MiShel and Carl decide not to have a boy?A Because t hey might give birth to a blind baby.B Because Carl might pass his family’s disease to his son.C Because the boy might become blind when he grows up.D Because they wanted a daughter to balance their family.58. When MiShel gave birth to her first girl, the new sperm-separation technique ____A had already been well-developed.B had not been declared successful.C was available to those who wanted it.D had been widely accepted in the medical world.primary concern regarding the application of the new59. Which of the following is the author’stechnology?A The expansion of the new technology may not bring profits to the companies.B Most people who use the technology will not have a baby as they want.C The effect of the new technology still needs to be carefully examined.D Increasing use of the technology may disturb the sex balance in the population60. According to Mr. Blauer, by using the new technology, ______A 91% of the women successfully give birth to girls.B 76% of the women get pregnantwith boys.C it is more successful for those who want to have girls.D it is more successful for those who wantto have boys.61. The sperm-separation technique is based on the fact that the chromosomes responsible for babies’ sex_____A are of different shapesB are of different sizesC can be identifiedD can be reproduced62. We can infer from this passage that the new technology_________A may not guarantee people a daughter or a son as they desire.B is used by most families for nonmedical reasons.C has brought an insoluble ethical dilemmafor mankind.D will lead to a larger proportional of females in the population.Passage ThreeWithout question there are plenty of bargains to be had at sales time ----particularly at thetop-quality shops whose reputation depends on having only the best and newest goods in stock each season. They tend, for obvious reasons, to be the fashion or seasonal goods which in due course become the biggest bargains.It is true that some goods are specially brought in for the sales but these too can provide exceptional value. A manufacturer may have the end of a range left in his hands and be glad to sellthe lot off cheaply to shops; or he may have a surplus of a certain material which he is glad to makeup and get rid of cheaply; or he may be prepared to produce a special line at low cost merely tokeep his employees busy during slack period. He is likely t o have a good many “seconds” available and if their defects are trifling these may be particularly good bargains.Nevertheless, sales do offer a special opportunity for sharp practices and shoppers need to beuld be clearly marked as such and not sold as if theyextra critical. For example the “second” showere perfect. The term “substandard,”　incidentally, usually indicates a more serious defect thanMore serious is the habit of marking the price down from an alleged previous price “seconds.”　which is in fact fictitious. Mis-description of this and all other kinds is much practiced by the menwho run one-day sales of carpets in church halls and the like. As the sellers leave the district the dayafter the sale there is little possibility of redress. In advertising sales, shops may say “only 100 left-price” when only awhen in fact they have plenty more; conversely they may say “10,000 at halfwerefew are available at such a drastic reduction. If ever the warning “let the buyer beware”　necessary it is during sales.63. Which kind of goods can be among the best bargains?A Cheapest goodsB Newest goodsC Seasonal goodsD Goods in stock64. The second paragraph deals with all of the following types of goods EXCEPT ____A surplus goodsB low-cost goodsC the end lot goodsD exceptionally valued goods65. In order to maintain his business during a bad time, a manufacturer may ____A have his goods produced at low cost.B sell his goods at a very low price.C have his employees sell his goods.D try to produce high quality goods.66. The passage suggests that “seconds”____________A are of better quality than “substandard goods”B attract buyers as particularly good bargains.C are defective but marked as perfect.D are goods with serious defects67. The word “redress” ( the underlined word in the last paragraph) probably means ____A dressing againB change of addressC compensation for something wrong.D selling the same product at different prices.68. During sales shoppers should ____A find the best bargains at every opportunity.B beware of being cheated.C buy things that are necessary.D pay more attention to the price.Passage FourHow many of today’s ailment, or even illnesses, are purely psychological? And how far can thesebe alleviated by the use of drugs? For example a psychiatrist concerned mainly with the emotionalproblems of old people might improve their state of mind somewhat b y the use of anti-depressantsbut he would not remove the root cause of their depression ----- the feeling of being useless, oftenunwanted and handicapped by failing physical powers.One of the most important controversies in medicine today is how far doctors, and particularlypsychologists, should depend on the use of drugs for “curing” their patients. It is not merel drugs may have been insufficiently tested and may reveal harmful side effects as happened in thecase of anti-sickness pills prescribed for expectant mothers but the uneasiness o f doctor who feelthat they are treating the symptoms of a disease without removing the disease itself. On the otherhand, some psychiatrists argue that in many cases such as chronic depressive illness it is impossibleto get at the root of the illness while the patient is in a depressed state. Even prolonged psychiatriccare may have no noticeable effect whereas some people can be lifted out of a depression by the useof drugs within a matter of weeks. These doctors feel not only that they have no right to withholdsuch treatment, but that the root cause of depression can be tackled better when the patient himselffeels better. This controversy is concerned, however, with the serious psychological illnesses. Itdoes not solve the problem of those whose headaches, i ndigestion, backache, etc. are due tophysical cause and as a matter “nerves”. Commonly a busy family doctor will ascribe them to someof routine prescribe a drug. Once again the symptoms are being cured rather than the disease itself.It may be true to say, as one doctor suggested recently, that over half of the cases that come to the attention are not purely physical ailments. If this is so, the situation is seriousordinary doctor’sindeed.69. The author thinks that drugs used for treating psychological ills ______A could be ineffective in some cases.B usually have harmful side effects.C can greatly alleviate the illnesses.D can remove the root causes.70. The controversy mentioned in the passage focuses on ___A whether psychologists should use drugs to cure their patients.B how psychologists should treat their patients.C the fact that all of the drugs have harmfulside effects.D the extent to which drugs should be used to fight psychological illness.71. The passage indicates that psychologists _____A find it impossible to remove a psychological diseaseB feel dissatisfied at treating theirpatients with drugs.C believe that the root cause of a disease can be ignored.D can do nothing if the patient is in adepressed state .72. When treating patients with psychological problems, some doctors feel that they ____A are at a loss for treatment.B have no right to use drugs.C have to cure their patients by any means.D should use drugs to treat the symptoms.73. A family doctor would normally consider a headache or backache as a result of ____A a more serious diseaseB some emotional problem.C a physical disorderD prolonged work74.
