What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-yearold man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should the doctors deny that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least conceal the truth until after the family vacation?

请看下面这个故事：Mr. Smith, an American businessman, went to China on a business trip. On the first day of his visit, he had a meeting withhis Chinese partners. During the meeting, Mr. Smith crossed his legs, showing the sole of his shoe to the Chinese partners. This action caused great offense to the Chinese partners, as showing the sole of one’s shoe is considered impolite in Chinese culture.通过这个故事，我们可以看到不同文化背景下的交际差异。

在中国文化中，露出鞋底是不礼貌的，而在美国文化中可能没有这样的问题。

这个例子揭示了文化差异对交际的影响。

2.2 词汇讲解在本节课中，我们将学习一些与文化差异和交际技巧相关的词汇和表达方式。

For example, in some cultures, it is common to maintain direct eye contact during a conversation as a sign of respect and attention, while in other cultures, avoiding eye contact is seen as a sign of respect. Thus, what is considered polite in one culture may be considered impolite in another.Another important aspect of cross-cultural communication is body language and gestures. Different cultures have different meanings behind certain gestures. For example, the。

As the author points out below, the success of science has less to do with a particular method than with an essential attitude of the scientist. This attitude is essentially one of inquiry, experimentation and humility before the facts. Therefore, a good scientist is an honest one. True scientists do not bow to any authority but they are ever ready to modify or even abandon their ideas if adequate evidence is found contradicting them. Scientists, they do place a high value on honesty.Science and the Scientific Attitudeby Paul G. Hewitt Science is the body of knowledge about nature that represents the collective efforts, insights, findings, and wisdom of the human race. Science is not something new but had its beginnings before recorded history when humans first discovered reoccurring relationships around them. Through careful observations of these relationships, they began to know nature and, because of nature's dependability, found they could make predictions to enable some control over their surroundings. Science made its greatest headway in the sixteenth century when people began asking answerable questions about nature —— when they began replacing superstition by a systematic search for order —— when experiment in addition to logic was used to test ideas. Where people once tried to influence natural events with magic and supernatural forces, they now had science to guide them. Advance was slow, however, because of the powerful opposition to scientific methods and ideas. In about 1510 Copernicus suggested that the sun was stationary and that the earth revolved about the sun. He refuted the idea that the earth was the center of the universe. After years of hesitation, he published his findings but died before his book was circulated. His book was considered heretical and dangerous and was banned by the Church for 200 years. A century after Copernicus, the mathematician Bruno was burned at the stake —— largely for supporting Copernicus, suggesting the sun to be a star, and suggesting that space was infinite. Galileo was imprisoned for popularizing the Copernican theory and for his other contributions to scientific thought. Yet a couple of centuries later, Copernican advocates seemed harmless. This happens age after age. In the early 1800s geologists met with violent condemnation because they differed with the Genesis account of creation. Later in the same century, geology was safe, but theories of evolution were condemned and the teaching of them forbidden. This most likely continues. "At every crossway on the road that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past." Every age has one or more groups of intellectual rebels who are persecuted, condemned, or suppressed at the time; but to a later age, they seem harmless and often essential to the elevation of human conditions. The enormous success of science has led to the general belief that scientists have developed and ate employing a "method" - a method that is extremely effective in gaining, organizing, and applying new knowledge. Galileo, famous scientist of the 1600s, is usually credited with being the "Father of the Scientific Method." His method is essentially as follows: 1. Recognize a problem. 2. Guess an answer. 3. Predict the consequences of the guess. 4. Perform experiments to test predictions. 5. Formulate the simplest theory organizes the three main ingredients: guess, prediction, experimental outcome. Although this cookbook method has a certain appeal, to has not been the key to most of the breakthroughs and discoveries in science. Trial and error, experimentation without guessing, accidental discovery, and other methods account for much of the progress in science. Rather than a particular method, the success of science has more to do with an attitude common to scientists. This attitude is essentially one of inquiry, experimentation, and humility before the facts. If a scientist holds an idea to be true and finds any counterevidence whatever, the idea is either modified or abandoned. In the scientific spirit, the idea must be modified or abandoned in spite of the reputation of the person advocating it. As an example, the greatly respected Greek philosopher Aristotle said that falling bodies fall at a speed proportional to their weight. This false idea was held to be true for more than 2,000 years because of Aristotle's immense authority. In the scientific spirit, however, a single verifiable experiment to the contrary outweighs any authority, regardless of reputation or the number of followers and advocates. Scientists must accept facts even when they would like them to be different. They must strive to distinguish between what they see and what they wish to see —— for humanity's capacity for self-deception is vast. People have traditionally tended to adopt general rules, beliefs, creeds, theories, and ideas without thoroughly questioning their validity and to retain them long after they have been shown to be meaningless, false, or at least questionable. The most widespread assumptionsare the least questioned. Most often, when an idea is adopted, particular attention is given to cases that seem to support it, while cases that seem to refute it are distorted, belittled, or ignored. We feel deeply that it is a sign of weakness to "change out minds." Competent scientists, however, must be expert at changing their minds. This is because science seeks not to defend our beliefs but to improve them. Better theories are made by those who are not hung up on prevailing ones. Away from their profession, scientists are inherently no more honest or ethical than other people. But in their profession they work in an arena that puts a high premium on honesty. The cardinal rule in science is that all claims must be testable —— they must be capable, at least in principle, of being proved wrong. For example, if someone claims that a certain procedure has a certain result, it must in principle be possible to perform a procedure that will either confirm or contradict the claim. If confirmed, then the claim is regarded as useful and a stepping-stone to further knowledge. None of us has the time or energy or resources to test every claim, so most of the time we must take somebody's word. However, we must have some criterion for deciding whether one person's word is as good as another's and whether one claim is as good as another. The criterion, again, is that the claim must be testable. To reduce the likelihood of error, scientists accept the word only of those whose ideas, theories, and findings are testable —— if not in practice then at least in principle. Speculations that cannot be tested are regarded as "unscientific." This has the long-run effect of compelling honesty - findings widely publicized among fellow scientists are generally subjected to further testing. Sooner or later, mistake （and lies） are bound to be found out; wishful thinking is bound to be exposed. The honesty so important to the progress of science thus becomes a matter of self-interest to scientists.

Get Ss to know the conditions of the pollution on earth; let the students realize the serious pollution of the earth; analyze the causes of the pollution on the earth; think over and discuss the ways to solve the issue.2. About the text, Ss should grasp the text content, text structure, basic vocabularies and required grammar points of the section.Words: atmosphere, compose, conclusion, conference, crash, deadly, emit, extremely, feasibility, fund hazard, indicate, originally,pollute, proceed, signal, smash, survive, type, unfit Phrases & Expressions: be known as, name after, as to, base on, for one thing...for another, be composed of, as far as sth/sb. be concerned, stick up, give up, set backGrammar: because of, what do you think of, so/as far as...he concerned3.About the reading, Ss should acquire the reading skill —using word part clues for word meanings.4.About the writing, Ss should get to know the writing skill—coherence.5.About the listening, Ss will finish the Unit 5 directed by the teacher. Teaching Procedures:I.Pre-reading ActivitiesBackground information:1. GlaciersGlacier,an enduring accumulation of ice, snow, water, rock, and sediment （沉淀物）that moves under the influence of gravity. Glaciers form where the temperature is low enough to allow falling snow to accumulate and slowly transform into ice. This accumulation is most common in the polar regions, but can also occur at high altitudes on mountains even near the equator. Glaciers are complex systems that grow and shrink in response to climate. At the present, glacier ice covers about 15 million sq km (5.8 million sq mi), or 10 percent, of Earth’s land area.2.Polar ice capA polar ice cap is a high-latitude region, centered in the polar region, which is covered in ice.3.GreenlandAn Arctic island nation located in North America by geography, Greenland is a self-governed Danish territory. It is the world’s largest island, and about 81 percent of its surface is covered by ice.4. Global WarmingGlobal warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities.5. ManhattanManhattan is one of the five boroughs that comprise the City of New York. It is by far the most densely populated county in the United States and famous for its soaring skyscrapers.Manhattan (Island) is one of the commercial, financial, and cultural centers of the world. It has many famous landmarks and tourist attractions. They include Broadway, Chinatown, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Times Square, The United Nations Headquarters, Wall Street, and many churches, colleges, skyscrapers, and theaters. Most of New York’s municipal buildings stand on Manhattan Island. When people think of New York City, they are usually thinking of Manhattan, the core of the city.6.The British IslesThe British Isles are s group of islands off the northwest coast of Europeconsisting of Great Britain (that is England, Scotland and Wales), Ireland and the many smaller adjacent islands. These islands form an archipelago of more than 6,000 islands.7.Isaac AsimovIsaac Asimov was born on 2 January 1920 in the former Soviet Union, but grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He taught biochemistry at Boston University until he retired in 1958 to become a full-time writer. Asimov had been publishing short stories since the late 1930s, and in 1952 published his first novel. The author of the classic Ⅰ, Robot series and The Foundation Trilogy, Asimov wrote more than 400 books and won every major science fiction award. He also wrote popular books and essays on science and technology, earning him the nickname "The Great Explainer." Isaac Asimov died of “heart and kidney failure, which were complications of the HIV infection” on 6 April 1992. HIV was not revealed as the cause of his death until 2002, when his widow Janet published the memoirs It's Been a Good Life.Warm-up Questions1.What’s the weather like in your hometown?

大学英语精读第二册Unit5：TheProfessorandtheYo-Yo

Seen through the eyes of a young friend Einstein was a simple, modest and ordinary man.The professor and the Yo-yoMy father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a shy young visitor to Einstein's home, I was made to feel at ease when Einstein said, "I have something to show you." He went to his desk and returned with a Yo-Yo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn't make it roll back up the string. When my turn came, I displayed my few tricks and pointed out to him that the incorrectly looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded, properly impressed by my skill and knowledge. Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem of thanks.As boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world's most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark - W - for Woolworth's.To do his work he needed only a pencil only a pencil and a pad of paper. Material things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, "The razor and water do the job.""But Professor, why don't you try the cream just once?" I argued. "It makes shaving smoother and less painful."He shrugged. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was beaming with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. "You know, that cream really works," he announced. "It doesn't pull the beard. It feels wonderful." Thereafter, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he reverted to using plain water.Einstein was purely and exclusively a theorist. He didn't have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation in history - yet Einstein wouldn't walk down the street to see a reactor create atomic energy. He won the Nobel Prize for his Photoelectric Theory, a series of equations that he considered relatively minor in importance, but he didn't have any curiosity in observing how his theory made TV possible.My brother once gave the Professor a toy, a bird that balanced on the edge of a bowl of water and repeatedly dunked its head in the water. Einstein watched it in delight, trying to deduce the operating principle. But be couldn't.The next morning he announced, "I had thought about that bird for a long time before I went to bed and it must work this way…" He began a ling explanation. Then he stopped, realizing a flaw in his reasoning. "No, I guess that's not it," he said. He pursued various theories for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. His quick expression of disapproval told me he did not agree with this practical approach. He never did work out the solution. Another puzzle that Einstein could never understand was his own fame. He had developed theories that were profound and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized world. "I've had good ideas, and so have other men," he once said. "But it's been my good fortune that my ideas have been accepted." He was bewildered by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street; scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters.

(Interestingnu mber!)The doctor (commu nity doctor)---the red-headed doctor (Gastro-I ntesti nalman) an dDr. Schultz (the OrthopedicRadiologist)---a no ther doctor(possibly alsoOrthopedicRadiologist), who brought two more doctors (in Valve Clinic)---theMiltral man, the Aortic man, the Great Arteries man and the Peripheral Capillary Bed man---doctor in the FunctionalClinic---Psych on euroticist, Psychosociologist —the Turk ( Is hereally a Turk I don ' t know what ' s his field.)(4)They are italicized for emphasis. They are to be read out aloud.Para. 9 Fifty- five The doctor shows his in credulity. He believes 55 as a critical age but the man hasn ' t had a checkup foralmost 10 years.…you maybe feeling well, it implies that the doctor doesn' t believe he is actually well.…I could do that …The doctor was shocked that the patient was “ignorant ”to the extent that he asked only for sth. to stop thepain. According to the doctor, the root cause of the problem had to be found out first.Para. 24 …more …aspirin poisoning than of cyanide poisoning Thetwo words are emphasized to distinguish them and to let theinformation sink in.Para. 26 we have to think about …The doctor implies that Wheatley hasn' tthought much about his own health.Para. 37 I don ' t think so. It is implied by the emphasis thatWheatley fails to un dersta nd the word Fluoroaortogram.Now this patient--- The doctor sudde nly realized his purpose of coming here.Para. 41 you mustn' t worry. The doctor thinks that Wheatley has the reasons to be worried but that his worry might make the situation worse. Therefore hemustn ' t worry.Critical Read ing:1. Questions(1) He was very nervous.(2) He doesn' t think Wheatley ' s complaints have much value. He has his ownprofessi onal trai ning of inq uiri ng.(3) He is an Orthopedic Radiologist (And I think he is a colleague of Dr. Schultz ' s).He mentions the article in details possibly becauseit ' s his recent focus of attention, or in other words he is still thinking about it whe n he talks.(4) I don' t know for sure where he went or what brought him there. I think both theTurkish drapes and the turban are used to give an exotic flavor to that place, to form a sharp con trast with the previous“ scientific ” atmosphere. He might or might not be a Turk. Still we know this last resort of Wheatley' s must be some branch of the“ alter native medici ne ” , which accord ing the Wikipedia, “ is any practice that is put forward as having thehealingeffects of medicine,but does not orig in ate fromevide ncegathered using thescie ntificmethod. ”This ending provides an alter native choice to the allegedlyscie ntific moder n medicine and makes it a choice Wheatleyvoluntarily made after being disillusioned with the modern medicine.The effect is quite satirical.2. True or False(1) F It ' s satirical.(2) F Wheatley is certainly worried by the first doctor ' s words, butnot to the serious exte nt as is stated in this senten ce.(3) F He starts to feel worried and thinks that the doctor may takethe blood pressure or do other check-ups to decide whether it ' sin flammatory or sth. else.(4) F It only occurred to him that the patient just wants sth. to stop the pai n.3. (1) B(2) C (3) DII. Critiq uing the text(1) The doctor ' s professional in the sense that he made the enquiriesand diagnoses in a logical way. Of course the problem is that he always cut the patie nt short, relied too much on his theoretical hypotheses and would n't do any check-up to ascerta in what was wrong with the toe. Therefore he is not acompete nt doctor.(2) “Interesting ” here might be a euphemism for sth. tricky, sth.difficult to handle. I don ' t know how to answer the rest of thequestions (what to make of his words, what ' s his real intention)(3) Early on the doctor simply told Wheatley to go to the “Valve Clinic ” , talk ing it forgran ted that Wheatley knew which valve cli nic he should go. But it was unlikely for a layperson like Wheatley to know that there was a subdivision of “valveclinic ” and which one was the right one for him.Fortunately, there is no “ Mitral Valve Clinic ” , “Aortic Valve Clinic ” or even “Valve Clinic ” in the real world. The author makesthem up as a good example to show how unn ecessarily complicated andhow confusing moder n medical scie nee has become.(4) One sentence can acco unt for all those referrals: “ Always best tolet the expert han dle the problem in his own field. ” I thi nk thequotation might be part of the Iong-term professional training theyhave received before they become doctors. Therefore I put the blame on the unn ecessary branching of moder n medic ine scie nee, not on the doctorsthemselves. They are trained in this way. It ' s not theirirresponsibility or sth. Actually this article helps meto develop someempathy for the doctors in past newsreports about doctors asking their patients to do a thorough checkup before making their diagnoses. I used to think, like what the reporters led us to believe, that they were just trying to make more money. But this article throws new light on those cases. NowI can see why the doctors think it reas on able and eve n n ecessary to do such checkups. They are trained in this way.(5) Most of the terms and jargons are difficult to understand. The author eve n madeup some words, usually very difficult and long words. Theeffect is well achieved. The reader can literally sense the feelings of awe, con fusi on and perplexity that Wheatley must have felt at the flow of those in comprehe nsible, professi on al, sole mn ly-uttered jarg ons. In some specialized fields like medici ne, la nguage is used as a tool to establish an unbalaneed power structure in which lay people rema in in apowerless and un derprivileged status. The author issen sitive eno ugh to recog nize it in the real life, and wise eno ugh toexaggerate the jarg ons a bit so as to make them more recog ni zable tohis reader.(6) I read this short story as a satire on moder n medici ne scie nee: itis evoIving into a dead end, which sacrifices efficiency for expertise and fails to provide the cure it promises.(7) Lack of efficiency, unnecessary branching, relying too much ontheories and equipme nts, too meticulous in maki ng a diag no sis …Stude nts are en couraged to come up with ways to han dle the problems.Possibly more reading of literary works might help. Haha.(8) I agree thatordinary people usually remain powerless in the unbalaneedrelati on ship betwee n experts and lay people. They are deprived of thediscourse power, unable to utter their own opinions or to keep things under their own control. What makes things worse, due to the monopoly of kno wledge, they not only lack con fide nee in their own judgme nts,but also, in most cases, do fail to make sen sible judgme nts.以下是奉侯老师之命加上的语言练习的部分参考答案：2. Paraphrase:(1) It might start as pain in one toe but lead to something more serious.The doctor did n ' t think Wheatley gave eno ugh atte nti on to his health.(2) I suppose I should have had checkups in the past ten years.(3) Weare going to cure you soon. Weneed just a few more studies to cure you.(4) The doctor realized what Wheatley wan ted to say.(5) A few hours later the doctors were examining him by ways of thumping,photograph ing and liste ning.(6) The doctors agreed that he had to go through those checkups to ruleout possibilities of certain diseases.3.

Heinlein, “realistic speculation about possiblefuture events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, pastand present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significanceof the scientific method.”But, to be honest, I do think it’s more a satire than science fiction.（3）There are altogether 13 doctors besides the Turk. (Interesting number!) The doctor (community doctor)---the red-headed doctor (Gastro-Intestinal man) andDr. Schultz (theOrthopedic Radiologist)---another doctor(possibly alsoOrthopedic Radiologist), who brought two more doctors (in Valve Clinic)---the Miltral man, the Aorticman, the Great Arteries man and the Peripheral Capillary Bed man---doctor in the Functional Clinic---Psychoneuroticist, Psychosociologist— the Turk ( Is he really a TurkI don’t know what’s his field.)（4）They are italicized for emphasis. They are to be read out aloud.Para. 9 Fifty-five The doctor shows his incredulity. He believes 55 as acritical age but the man hasn’t had a checkup for almost 10 years.Para.13 …you may be feeling well, it implies that the doctor doesn’t believe he is actually well.Para.24 …I could do that… The doctor was shocked that the patient was“ignorant” to the extent that he asked only for sth. to stop the pain.According to the doctor, the root cause of the problem had to be found outfirst.Para. 24 …more…aspirin poisoning than of cyanide poisoning The two wordsare emphasized to distinguish them and to let the information sink in.Para. 26 we have to think about… The doctor implies that Wheatley hasn’tthought much about his own health.Para. 37 I don’t think so. It is implied by the emphasis that Wheatley fails tounderstand the word Fluoroaortogram.Para.38 Now this patient--- The doctor suddenly realized his purpose ofcoming here.Para. 41 you mustn’t worry. The doctor thinks that Wheatley has the reasons to be worried but that his worry might make the situation worse. Thereforehe mustn’t worry.Critical Reading:1.Questions(1)He was very nervous.(2)He doesn’t think Wheatley’s complaints have much value. He has his ownprofessional training of inquiring.(3)He is an Orthopedic Radiologist (And I think he is a colleague of Dr. Schultz’s). Hementions the article in details possibly because it’s his recent focus of attention, or in other words he is still thinking about it when he talks.(4)I don’t know for sure where he went or what brought him there. I think both theTurkish drapes and the turban are used to give an exotic flavor to that place, to form a sharp contrast with the previous “scientific”atmosphere. He might or might not be a Turk. Still we know this last resort of Wheatley’s must be some branch of the “alternative medicine”, which according the Wikipedia, “is any practice that is put forward as having thehealingeffects of medicine, but does not originate fromevidencegathered using thescientific method.”This ending provides an alternative choice to the allegedly “scientific”modern medicine and makes it a choice Wheatley voluntarily made after being disillusioned with the modern medicine. The effect is quite satirical.2.True or False(1)F It’s satirical.(2)F Wheatley is certainly worried by the first doctor’s words, but not to theserious extent as is stated in this sentence.(3)F He starts to feel worried and thinks that the doctor may take the bloodpressure or do other check-ups to decide whether it’s inflammatory or sth.else.(4)F It only occurred to him that the patient just wants sth. to stop the pain. 3.(1) B(2) C (3) DII. Critiquing the text(1) The doctor’s professional in the sense that he made the enquiries and diagnosesin a logical way. Of course the problem is that he always cut the patient short,relied too much on his theoretical hypotheses and wouldn’t do any check-up to ascertain what was wrong with the toe. Therefore he is not a competent doctor.(2) “Interesting” here might be a euphemism for sth. tricky, sth. difficult to handle. Idon’t know how to answer the rest of the questions (what to make of his words, what’s his real intention)(3) Early on the doctor simply told Wheatley to go to the “Valve Clinic”, talking it forgranted that Wheatley knew which valve clinic he should go. But it was unlikely for a layperson like Wheatley to know that there was a subdivision of “valveclinic” and which one was the right one for him.Fortunately, there is no “Mitral Valve Clinic”, “Aortic Valve Clinic” or even “Valve Clinic” in the real world. The author makes them up as a good example to show how unnecessarily complicated and how confusing modern medical science has become.(4) One sentence can account for all those referrals: “Always best to let the experthandle the problem in his own field.” I think the quotation might be part of the long-term professional training they have received before they become doctors.Therefore I put the blame on the unnecessary branching of modern medicine science, not on the doctors themselves. They are trained in this way. It’s not their irresponsibility or sth. Actually this article helps me to develop some empathy for the doctors in past news reports about doctors asking their patients to do athorough checkup before making their diagnoses. I used to think, like what the reporters led us to believe, that they were just trying to make more money. But this article throws new light on those cases. Now I can see why the doctors think it reasonable and even necessary to do such checkups. They are trained in this way.(5) Most of the terms and jargons are difficult to understand. The author even madeup some words, usually very difficult and long words. The effect is well achieved.The reader can literally sense the feelings of awe, confusion and perplexity that Wheatley must have felt at the flow of those incomprehensible, professional, solemnly-uttered jargons. In some specialized fields like medicine, language is used as a tool to establish an unbalanced power structure in which lay people remain in a powerless and underprivileged status. The author is sensitive enough to recognize it in the real life, and wise enough to exaggerate the jargons a bit so as to make them more recognizable to his reader.(6) I read this short story as a satire on modern medicine science: it is evolving into adead end, which sacrifices efficiency for expertise and fails to provide the cure it promises.(7) Lack of efficiency, unnecessary branching, relying too much on theories andequipments, too meticulous in making a diagnosis…Students are encouraged to come up with ways to handle the problems. Possibly more reading of literary works might help. Haha.(8) I agree thatordinary people usually remain powerless in the unbalancedrelationship between experts and lay people. They are deprived of the discourse power, unable to utter their own opinions or to keep things under their owncontrol. What makes things worse, due to the monopoly of knowledge, they not only lack confidence in their own judgments, but also, in most cases, do fail to make sensible judgments.以下是奉侯老师之命加上的语言练习的部分参考答案：2. Paraphrase:(1) It might start as pain in one toe but lead to something more serious. The doctordidn’t think Wheatley gave enough attention to his health.(2) I suppose I should have had checkups in the past ten years.(3) We are going to cure you soon. We need just a few more studies to cure you.(4) The doctor realized what Wheatley wanted to say.(5) A few hours later the doctors were examining him by ways of thumping,photographing and listening.(6) The doctors agreed that he had to go through those checkups to rule outpossibilities of certain diseases.3. Translation E-C(1) 医生们把某些物质注入他的右胳膊，又把某些物质从左胳膊里抽出来。
