1、倒數第5天(6月1日)
(2020·湖北卷)The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create m

Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print－out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don't have throat canc
3、er, and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self－h(huán)ealth－checks.

I looked at the X－ray
6、again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺結核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she
7、 was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I'm_so_embarrassed，” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpecte
8、dly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?
