Disconnect Anxiety: a malady for the 21st century
The concept of Internet addiction has moved from the funny pages to the scientific journals, as mental health workers and the public accept that some people simply need to spend time online. Now a new report from a market research group has coined a new term to describe what happens when people get cut off from the source: disconnect anxiety.
Based on the results of a long-running series of surveys, interviews and focus groups, Solutions Research Group(SRG) claims that 27 percent of the population suffers increased levels of anxiety when separated from their cell phones or the Internet, and that a further 41 percent suffer occasional anxiety due to
communications blackout.
The condition seems to be age-dependent; those over 50 are unlikely to suffer from disconnect anxiety, and according to SRG, it manifests itself
differently depending upon generation. Older sufferers are likely to experience anxiety related to work and safety, whereas younger afflicted individuals are more concerned with being isolated from their peers.
51. Which of the following is of the same meaning as malady in the title? (A) dilemma (B) climate (C) concentration (D) disease
52.What is the main idea of the article?
(A) Young people can’t live without cellphones because they want to contact their friends.
(B) Internet addiction has become a problem that we should take seriously. (C) To stay away from disconnect anxiety, people should learn to isolate their work from their life.
(D) People act differently when they don’t have access to the Internet. 53.This piece can be described as a ____.
(A) biased point of view (B) descriptive essay (C) personal story (D) timeline 54.Which of the following statement is true?
(A) Internet addiction is only regarded as a funny concept by mental health workers.
(B) Almost 70 percent of the American experience different levels of disconnect anxiety.
(C) The elderly are more likely to suffer from disconnect anxiety. (D) The term disconnect anxiety has been around for decades. <B>
When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe “more is better.” But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may pose harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone.
Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener’s disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her physician. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X-rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as a precaution when she developed a cold. She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six-month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.
After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after consulting with other patients in online support groups. “It’s a really hard thing to determine when they’ve crossed the line,” Mr. Power said. “You think she’s getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the objective?” Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power’s care. Under the new doctor’s care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power’s condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.
55.What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Treatments do not always cause harmful side effects. (B) Patients tend to believe more testing is better treatment. (C) Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients. (D) Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary.
56.Which of the following was a problem for Mrs. Power during her medical treatment?
(A) She had to be hospitalized for three weeks whenever she had a cold. (B) She didn’t have any insurance, so she went broke because of her illness. (C) When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more
tests.
(D) Her doctor asked her to consult other specialists due to her constant complaints.
57.Who does “they” in the third paragraph most likely refer to?
(A) Physicians. (B) Other patients.
(C) Mr. and Mrs. Power. (D) The online support groups.
58.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward medical tests?
(A) More tests than necessary are too much.
(B) Medical tests are essential for disease prevention. (C) Many tests are needed for confirmation of diagnosis.
(D) Doctors’ interpretations of test results are seldom wrong.
