Everyone likes a quick medical diagnosis (诊断). And no one gives one faster than Google. Just enter your symptoms (症状) in a search window — the uncomfortable neck, headache, high body temperature, and it'll immediately tell what's wrong with you. You can almost enter your symptoms anytime and anywhere.

A study from Australia's Edith Cowan University-(ECU) looked into 36 international website-based symptom checkers. Researchers found they produced the correct diagnosis as the first result just 36% of the time. Online symptom checkers were also sometimes good and sometimes bad when it came to finding the right diagnosis within the top three results, with a rate of 52%. And the same websites managed to get the right diagnosis in their top 10 results 58% of the time.

"That could be a problem for a society, that more and more depends on websites for health advice. For example, according to the search records, about 7% of the questions Google receives are health-related, which works out to about 70,000 asks per minute. As for the answers, most of the time they are unreliable at best and can be dangerous at worst," says scientist Michela Hill.

The most popular health websites, like Google search simply don't know enough facts about the patient in question to make a correct diagnosis, especially his or her medical history and other symptoms. They usually can't look at the whole picture. Besides, websites' ways of producing a diagnosis are often not fully regulated or even monitored by government bodies.

That's not to say online symptom checkers don't play a role in the health of a society. As a means of monitoring outbreaks of certain diseases in public, they're already proving helpful. For example, the UK's National Health Service is using these tools to monitor symptoms and possible "hot spot" locations for certain diseases on a national basis. But if you're experiencing real pain or discomfort, the best advice Doc Google could offer would be to go and see a real doctor.

(1)、What can we know about Google according to Paragraph 1?
A、It creates a chance to talk to doctors. B、It's useful to deal with slight diseases. C、It pays great attention to free services. D、It offers medical advice conveniently.
(2)、ECU's study suggests online symptom checkers might ____________.
A、have failed to win the trust of the public B、have had an improvement in their design C、differ a lot from each other in their usage D、mislead patients about their diseases
(3)、What will Michela Hill probably agree with based on his words?
A、People shouldn't rely too much on websites to make clear diseases. B、Most people couldn't get access to online medical resources. C、Many websites find it hard to deal with users' questions. D、Some health websites have realized their problems.
(4)、What's Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A、The common mistakes of patients online. B、The examples of some popular health websites. C、The causes of many websites' weak medical service. D、The weaknesses and strengths of some health websites.

    Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

    I took off , but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.

    I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

    Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon,I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.

    “Thank you”—two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

    Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”

    For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.

While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom—- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.

    Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

    Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”

    The noise of chattering mouths subsided(平息)as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.

    Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.

    Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.

    Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. .

    My husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I pulled in the driveway. It wasn't like him to be home so early. The disbelief on his face told me that something was up.

    "Do you still have a job?"

    "No. Redundant," he answered, looking away from me.

    "OK. We'll figure it out," I replied calmly.

    I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out. I immediately started to think of how we'd cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with. That night, after David had fallen asleep, I cried myself to sleep, and frequently sobbed in the shower in the days that followed.

    I knew the loss of David's income would have great effect on us. He had worked for the same insurance company for twenty-one years and was our main income. I work at home caring for Laura, and my freelance(自由职业者的)income is uncertain. We have debts, and job hunting takes time.

    Still, I was more concerned about my husband's emotional state than our financial situation. David's sense of identity was tied to his job. He called his parents to tell them about losing his job, but didn't say a word to anyone else for weeks. He told me that he felt like "a failure".

It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment. One night a couple of weeks after he lost his job, David woke me just before midnight, sweating, pacing the bedroom floor and saying he felt funny. We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack. Thankfully, it was just a serious anxiety attack. It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through. Here is what I learned from my own experience—and from talking to experts—on how to support your spouse through a job loss.
