I hurried up during this process.One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you?” he asked, “Don’t yo u get your creative thoughts from the same place?”“I’m in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”“What a pity,” he said. “That’s the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!” I tried it out.I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and evenspending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen minutes later, her friend handed back the tape. “It was good,” she said, but I don’t need it.”“But it’s a 70 - minute video,” the woman replied, “You couldn’t have watched the whole thing.”“Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put it in fast - forward!”A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We swallow fast food. We complain that we don’t have enough time. We race through the days and weeks until one day we look back in amazement and comment, “My god, how the years flew by!” Then we rea lize the heavy price we have paid for traveling fast.Symptoms of Hurry Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad relationships, lowered work performance and even disease.

The top levels of hospitals will be encouraged to provide online services, including consultations (会诊), reservations and test result inquiries.As China joins the ranks of middle-income countries, the demand for health services has increased accordingly. Internet Plus Healthcare can help reduce the problem of inaccessible and expensive public health services that have long been a big concern for the general public.One decision coming out of the meeting says the intelligent review for health insurance will be applied and the one-stop settlement will be advanced. The real-time sharing of prescription and drug retail sales will be explored, as well.“We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures once the decisions made.” Li said. “In recent years, top-level hospitals in major cities have seen steady increases in the number of patients. Medical bills have become a heavy burden on families and high-end medical resources still fall short of meeting the growing demand of the public.”To solve the problem, a two-pronged (双管齐下的) approach must be taken. One is to establish medical partnerships to strengthen cooperation between major hospitals and community clinics. The other is to bring forward Internet Plus Healthcare to promote the sharing of quality medical resources.The government will see to it that long-distance healthcare services cover all county-level hospitals. So more efforts will be made to ensure that high-speed broadband network will be extended to cover medical institutions in urban and rural areas. Dedicated internet access services will be set up to meet the needs for long-distance healthcare services.28.According to the text, which of the following services won’t a patient enjoy online?A.

The improvement of people's life quality.D. The inconvenience of hospital equipment.30.What does Li mean by saying “We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures”?A. The bills are impossible to afford.B. The situations are urgent to improve.C. The measures are perfectly worked out,D. The hospitals are unwilling to admit patients.31.What can be the suitable title for the text?A. Modern HospitalsB. Online Healthcare on its WayC. No More Burden for General PeopleD. Wide Applications of Internet ServiceDWe take it for granted that with memory we can remember most of things which happened in our life. But it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions (感知), the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the ability to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering” things l ike arithmetic (算术) or historical facts,but also involves any change in the way one typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words” - strings of alphabetic or numerical characters - ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 1,000,000 words of English. However, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human beings. Words and combin ations of words are a large part of a person’s memory. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.32. What can we know about memory?A. It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B. It’s based on the decisions we made in the past.C. It’s rooted in our past habits and skills.D. It connects our past experiences with the present.33. Which statement might the author NOT agree with about memory?A. It involves a change in one’s behavior.B. It keeps information for later use.C. It warns people not to do things repeatedly.D. It enables one to remember past events.34. What is the major characteristic of man’s memory capacity?A. It can be expanded by language.B. It can remember all the combined words.C. It may keep all the information in the past.D. It may change what has been stored in it.35. What makes human beings different from other animals?A. The ability to perceive danger.B. A far greater memory capacity.C. The use of past experiences.D. The ability to recognize faces and places on sight.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
