The Silicon Valley Employers Forum, a

24、 sophisticated group of technology companies, is launching a pilot program to test online “virtual visits“ between doctors at three big local medical groups and about 6 000 employees and their families. The six employers taking part in the Silicon Valley initiative, including heavy hitters such as O

25、racle and Cisco Systems, hope that online visits will mean employees wont have to skip work to tend to minor ailments or to follow up on chronic conditions. “With our long commutes and traffic, driving 40 miles to your doctor in your hometown can be a big chunk of time, “says Cindy Conway, benefits

26、director at Cadence Design Systems, one of the participating companies.Doctors arent clamoring to chat with patients online for free; they spend enough unpaid time on the phone. Only 1 in 5 has ever e-mailed a patient, and just 9 percent are interested in doing so, according to the research firm Cyb

27、er Dialogue. “We are not stupid,“ says Stifling Somers, executive director of the Silicon Valley employers group. “Doctors getting paid is a critical piece in getting this to work.“ In the pilot program, physicians will get $20 per online consultation, about what they get for a simple office visit.D

28、octors also fear theyll be swamped by rambling e-mails that tell everything but whats needed to make a diagnosis. So the new program will use technology supplied by Healinx, an Alameda, Calif-based star-up. Healinxs “Smart Symptom Wizard“ questions patients and turns answers into a succinct message.

29、 The company has online dialogues for 60 common conditions. The doctor can then diagnose the problem and outline a treatment plan, which could include e-mailing a prescription or a face-to-face visit.Can e-mail replace the doctors office? Many conditions, such as persistent cough, require a stethosc

30、ope to discover whats wrong and to avoid a malpractice suit. Even Larry Bonham, head of one of the doctors groups in the pilot, believes the virtual doctors visits offer a “very narrow“ sliver of service between phone calls to an advice nurse and a visit to the clinic.The pilot program, set to end i

31、n nine months, also hopes to determine whether online visits will boost worker productivity enough to offset the cost of the service. So far, the Internets record in the health field has been underwhelming. The experiment is “a huge roll of the dice for Healinx“, notes Michael Barrett, an analyst at

32、 Internet consulting firm Forester Research. If the “Web visits“ succeed, expect some HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) to pay for online visits. If doctors, employers, and patients arent satisfied, figure on one more E health star-up to stand down.（分数：5.00）(1).The Silicon Valley employers pro

33、mote the E-health program for the purpose of _.（分数：1.00）A.rewarding their employeesB.gratifying the local hospitalsC.boosting worker productivityD.testing a sophisticated technology(2).What can be learned about the online doctors visits?（分数：1.00）A.They are a quite promising business.B.They are funde

34、d by the local government.C.They are welcomed by all the patients.D.They are very much under experimentation.(3).Of the following people, who are not involved in the program?（分数：1.00）A.Cisco System employees.B.Advice nurses in the clinic.C.Doctors at three local hospitals.D.Oracle executives.(4).Acc

35、ording to Paragraph 2, doctors are _.（分数：1.00）A.reluctant to serve online for nothingB.not interested in Web consultationC.too tired to talk to the patients onlineD.content with $ 20 paid per Web visit(5).“Smart Symptom Wizard“ is capable of _.（分数：1.00）A.making diagnosesB.producing prescriptionsC.pr

36、ofiling patients illnessesD.offering treatment plansBText 2/BMany things make people think artists are weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.This wasnt always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting a

37、nd music, are those best suited for expressing joy. But somewhere in the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworths daffodils to Baudelaires flowers of evil.You could argue that art became more skeptical of hap

38、piness because modem times have seen so much misery. But its not as if earlier times didnt know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.After all, what is the one modem form of expressio

39、n almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? Advertising. The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just all ideal but an ideology.People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. T

40、hey worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. Given all this, they did

41、 not exactly need their art to be a Ubummer/U too.Today the messages the average Westerner is bombarded with are not religious but commercial, and for ever happy Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy famili

42、es in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda - to lure us to open our wallets - they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. “Celebrate!“ commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.But what we forget - w

43、hat our economy depends on us forgetting - is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us, as religion once did, Me mento mo

44、ri: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. Its a message even more bitter than a clove cigarette, yet, somehow, a breath of fresh air.（分数：5.00）(1).By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire, the author inte

45、nds to show that _.（分数：1.00）A.poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or musicB.art grows out of both positive and negative feelingsC.poets today are less skeptical of happinessD.artists have changed their focus of interest(2).The word “bummer“ (Line 4, Paragraph 5) most probably means someth

46、ing _.（分数：1.00）A.religiousB.unpleasantC.entertainingD.commercial(3).In the authors opinion, advertising _.（分数：1.00）A.emerges in the wake of the anti-happy artB.is a cause of disappointment for the general publicC.replaces tile church as a major source of informationD.creates an illusion of happiness

47、 rather than happiness itself(4).We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes _.（分数：1.00）A.happiness more often than not ends in sadnessB.the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshingC.misery should be enjoyed rather than deniedD.the anti happy art flourishes when economy booms(5).Which of the following is true of the text?（分数：1.00）A.Religion once fun
