Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to delver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms（症状）are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断)will be based on real physiological data（生理数据）from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistant plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the hose could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside)care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need-especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth (宽带)is the limiting factor for sending complex（复杂的）medical pictures around the world—CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical-information, expert’s opinions and diagnosis are common.
68. The writer chiefly talks about .
A. the use of telemedicine
B. the on-lined doctors
C. medical care and treatment
D. communication improvement
69. The basis of remote diagnosis will be .
A. personal data assistance
B. some words of a patient
C. real physiological information
D. medical pictures from the Internet
70. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.
B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone
C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D. Broad communications will become cheaper in the future.
71. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that .
A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

When asked about the secret of their success, she said.“Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters.”
