  there is virtually no limit to how one can serve community interests, from spending a few hours a week with some charitable organization to practically full-time work for a social agency. just as there are opportunities for voluntary service 1 (vso) for young people before they take up full-time employment, 2 there are opportunities for overseas service for 3 technicians in developing countries. some people, 4 those who retire early, 5 their technical and business skills in countries 6 there is a special need.

  text 1

  a class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent toronto doctor, by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. the doctor had already been investigated more than three years ago for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in canada.

  some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. one of those patients is anna barbiero. she says her toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. what she says he didn’t tell her is that it isn’t approved for use in canada. “i didn’t know what liquid silicone was and he just called it ‘liquid gold’.” barbiero remembers. after her last treatment, anna discovered dr. sheldon pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by health canada. experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.

  “my upper lip is always numb and it burns,” barbiero says. barbiero is spearheading a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. “the fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing, ”says lawyer douglas elliott.
  ontario’s college of physicians and surgeons (ocps) is also investigating dr. pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after aGREeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he had used silicone. however, in a letter to the college, dr. pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved for sale in canada, and had warned them of the risks. and in barbiero’s case, “…… at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving igls treatment, i specifically informed her that the material was not approved for sale in canada by the health protection branch and that i did receive the material from outside the country …… i would like to emphasize that, as is evident on ms. barbiero’s chart, i drew a specific diagram on the chart which i carefully discussed with and explained to ms. barbiero as i do with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of possible complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications.”

  dr. pollack declined to speak to ctv news, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. none of the allegations have been proven in court. but the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. “there’s a larger message and that is: buyer beware,” says nancy neilsen of cosmetic surgery canada. “it’s incumbent on consumers to do their research.”

  21. doctor sheldon pollack was charged that

  [a] he had prescribed wrong medicine for patients by mistake

  [b] he had treated his patients with something illegal, causing bad result

  [c] he had pretended to be a prominent surgeon

  [d] he had sold an unauthorized product in large amount

  22. it can be learned from the second paragraph that “dermatologist” must be a doctor dealing with.

  [a] heart disease[b] eye disease

  [c] breathing disorder [d] disorder and disease of the skin

  23. the investigation of ocps is to find 

  [a] whether he still has illegal treatment on his patients

  [b] how many patients have been abused

  [c] if he told his patients about the risk

  [d] how much money he got from his illegal treatment

  24. which of the following is true according to the passage?

  [a] barbiero took the treatment after being told the risk.

  [b] dr. sheldon pollack started his work with the patients’ agreement to accept the potential risk.

  [c] a famous doctor should be authorized to use something he thinks okay on patients.?D=;OF"A`Hi=\fL0[本_文_来_源_于_我_的_学_习_网考研一方考研英语 http://Www.GZU521.Com ]?D=;OF"A`Hi=\fL0

  [d] barbiero is suffering a lot.

  25. from the ending part of the passage, we can conclude that 

  [a] barbiero will win the lawsuit

  [b] dr. sheldon pollack will win the lawsuit

  [c] the cases have been dismissed

  [d] governing bodies to monitor doctor will be charged

  what our society suffers from most today is the absence of consensus about what it and life in it ought to be; such consensus cannot be gained from society’s present stage, or from fantasies about what it ought to be. for that the present is too close and too diversified, and the future too uncertain, to make believable claims about it. a consensus in the present hence can be achieved only through a shared understanding of the past, as homer’s epics informed those who lived centuries later what it meant to be greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize their societies.

  most societies derive consensus from a long history, a language all their own, a common religion, common ancestry. the myths by which they live are based on all of these. but the united states is a country of immigrants, coming from a great variety of nations. lately, it has been emphasized that an asocial, narcissistic personality has become characteristic of americans, and that it is this type of personality that makes for the lack of well-being, because it prevents us from achieving consensus that would counteract a tendency to withdraw into private worlds. in this study of narcissism, christopher lash says that modern man, “tortured by self-consciousness, turns to new therapies not to free himself of his personal worries but to find meaning and purpose in life, to find something to live for”。 there is widespread distress because national morale has declined, and we have lost an earlier sense of national vision and purpose.
  contrary to rigid religions or political beliefs, as are found in totalitarian societies, our culture is one of the great individual differences, at least in principle and in theory; but this leads to diSUNity, even chaos. americans believe in the value of diversity, but just because our is a society based on individual diversity, it needs consensus about some dominating ideas more than societies based on uniform origin of their citizens. hence, if we are to have consensus, it must be based on a myth—a vision about a common experience, a conquest that made us americans, as the myth about the conquest of troy formed the greeks. only a common myth can offer relief from the fear that life is without meaning or purpose. myths permit us to examine our place in the world by comparing it to a shared idea. myths are shared fantasies that form the tie that binds the individual to other members of his group. such myths help to ward off feelings of isolations, guilt, anxiety, and purposelessness—in short, they coMBAt isolation and the breakdown of social standards and values.

  26.in the eyes of the author, the greatest trouble with the us society may lie in

  [a] the non-existence of consensus on the forms of the society should take

  [b] the lack of divergence over the common organizations of social life

  [c] the non-acceptance of a society based on individual diversity

  [d] the pervasive distress caused by national morale decline

  27.the asocial personality of americans may stem from

  [a] the absence of a common religion and ancestry

  [b] the multiracial constituents of the us society

  [c] the want of a shared myths they possess in life

  [d] the counterbalance to narcissistic personality

  28.homer’s epics is mentioned in paragraph 1 in order to

  [a] exemplify the contributions made by ancient poets

  [b] illustrate the role of shared fantasies about society

  [c] show an ideal stage of eternal social progress

  [d] make known myths of what a society ought to be

  29.the author concludes that only shared myths can help americans

  [a] to bring about the uniformity of their culture

  [b] to regain their consensus about a common experience

  [c] to stay away from negative feelings in their life

  [d] to counteract the effects of consensus about society

  30.it can be inferred from paragraph 2 that christopher lash is most probablyh&w\?\b=r|nS_XN [此资料转贴于学习网考研一方考研英语 ]http://www.Gzu521.Comh&w\?\b=r|nS_XN

  [a] a reform advocate[b] a senior psychologist

  [c] a reputed poet[d] a social historian
