8.When a patient calls for help at Seton Medical Center,"Hi,Mr.Rogers,can I help you?"says a nurse; it's never a problem finding the nurse.It's because they all wear locator tags that are part of a wireless system that tracks their movements on the floor."You can even tell when they are walking down the hallway."says James Hattori.
This system made by Hill-Rom uses infrared(紅外線(xiàn)的)signals to detect when nurses enter a room to answer a call.The Hill-Rom devices look like a mini computer mouse.Some hospitals are putting them in nurses'kitchens.Staff can talk and listen through a wall unit to nurses or even to patients in other rooms."We can put the time we were spending hunting staff down,trying to find and locate them to much better use,"says a staff member from Seton.Hill-Rom says it has systems installed in more than 850 U.S.hospitals.
Some nurses worry that the devices will be used to listen in on conversations and scrutinize their movements."I'm not wearing mine.I will still meet my patient's needs but I will not wear this badge."Annette Bearden is among dozens of nurses at Eden Medical Center who staged an active protest two months ago and hid their badges though they were later recovered."You know it makes me not feel like a professional.It makes me feel like that someone has to watch me to make sure I am doing my job."
"The biggest reason we installed this technology is because our old call system is about 25 years old,"says a hospital manager.For hospitals this is a case of technology allowing,perhaps forcing people to better make use of their time.Officials at Eden don't deny they monitor how long it takes nurses to respond to calls but say their main concern is patient care."I think it is one tool that we can use in measuring overall performance but by itself it is not a valid disciplinary tool,"says an Eden spokesperson.
Eden is expanding its system with hopes the nurse will eventually accept the new technology,but back at Seton where it's been in place for about two years,there is no uneasiness."Once the staff actually find out how advantageous it can be for them and the patients,well,actually it became very popular."
In Castro Valley,California,the Eden Medical Center spent almost three hundred thousand dollars to install the Hill-Rom systems on two floors.Eden hopes to get more of the systems for other floors.
 
73.Why is it easy to find a nurse at Seton Medical Center?B
A.The nurses are on television.
B.The nurses wear locator badges.
C.Every patient has his/her own nurse.
D.Each room has a telephone.
74.How can the staff talk to their patients when they are not in the same room?C
A.With hand signals.     B.Through microphones in the pocket.
C.Through a wall unit.   D.With infrared signals on the doors.
75.According to the passage,the underlined word"scrutinize"(paragraph 3)probably meansA.
A.watch closely        B.see inside
C.scan word by word    D.make right
76.How did the nurses at Eden Medical Center react to the badges?D
A.The nurses really liked the badges.
B.They threw the locator badges away.
C.They refused to work.
D.They protested and concealed the badges.
77.According to the administrators of the hospital,Eden Medical Center,the application of the Hill-Rom devices mainly aims atD.
A.introducing modern technology 
B.a(chǎn)dding a tool for discipline 
C.replacing the old call system 
D.improving the service for patients.

1.One day,Mr.Arnold was teaching a lesson,and things were going as normally as ever.He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils.He told them that,in the beginning,men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long.Instead,they would travel about,here and there,in search of food,wherever it was to be found.And when the food ran out,they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals.This was an important discovery,because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land,and care for animals,mankind would always have food steadily available.It also meant that people could remain living in one place,and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete,like building towns,cities,and all that were in them.All the children were listening attracted by this story,until Lucy jumped up:
"And if that was so important and improved everything so much,why are we nomads all over again,Mr.Arnold?"
Mr.Arnold didn't know what to say.Lucy was a very intelligent girl.He knew that she lived with her parents in a house,so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?
"We have all become nomads again,"continued Lucy,"The other day,outside the city,they were cutting the forest down.A while ago a Gsherman told me how they fish.It's the same with everyone:when there's no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere,and when the fish run out the fishermen move on.That's what the nomads did,isn't it?9,
The teacher nodded,thoughtfully.Really,Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads.Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs,we kept developing it until the land was bare.And then off we would go to the next place!The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt,with a message that said"I am not a nomad!"
And,from then on,they set about showing that indeed they were not.Every time they knew they needed something,they made sure that they would get it using care and control.If they needed wood or paper,they would make sure that they got the recycled kind.They ordered their fish from fish farms,making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small.They only used animals that were well cared for,and brought up on farms.
And so,from their little town,those children managed to give up being nomads again,just as prehistoric men had done,so many thousands of years ago.
41.Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?C
A.To experience different lifestyles.
B.To go sightseeing in different places.
C.To find what they could to feed themselves.
D.To do more exercise to build themselves up.
42.From Paragraph 2,we can know thatD•
A.people got tired of living in the same place
B.people gradually got used to living in cities
C.people spent a long time in learning to keep animals
D.people tended to settle down after learning farming
43.In the teacher's opinion,Lucy's argument wasA
A.reasonable   B.ridiculous  C.puzzling  D.shocking
44.Which of the following agrees with the message"I am not a nomad"(Paragraph 7)?B
A.People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
B.People use recycled materials as much as possible.
C.Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
D.Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
45.The writer tries to make us believe thatB.
A.mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about
B.it's unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way
C.if S quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind.D.in the beginning men were nomads.
