四、阅读理解
Today we can do everything with apps: Pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology(科技)means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, chances and challenges(挑战)come together.
Let's start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can let a patient use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis(诊断)and instructions without leaving home. Also, there are many patient websites. They can meet our health needs without the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are easily achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems possible to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno - health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist(接待员), who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence(影响)the treatment effect(效果). It seems that a patient website won't have such intuition. Next, sharing the details of one's life needs trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care. The human touch is not possible to be there over the smart phone. Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a result with no explanation(解释), there may be all kinds of stories in their minds — and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt(适应)to the new technology age? Very talented(有才能的)companies are working on it. There is medical equipment(设备)that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human communication and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to and care about them, which will never be realized through a humanless technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on(依靠)it totally(完全地)will have unexpected effects. Let's not let our humanity(人性)be one of them.
( )1. According to the passage, how does technology help health care?
A. It lets doctors voice their needs on the websites.
B. It offers the patient an easier way to get a diagnosis.
C. It improves relations(关系)between doctors and patients.
D. It provides a chance to build a medical team.

C. it is difficult for patients to get used to new technology
D. techno - health care should take humanity into consideration(考虑)
