The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart — the main pump had failed and his heart was beating irregularly and far too fast. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.

In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have an adverse outcome, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.

Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing looms especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe subsequent patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes. However, if a patient had a stroke and was not on warfarin, physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.

These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.

But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. “Overreaction to Fearsome Risks” holds true for broader society.

For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.

Humans are susceptible to emotional and often irrational thinking when processing information, adverse events and mistakes. As much as we don’t want to cause an unfortunate event to recur — in a medical setting or in the wider world — we need to be aware that a worst case scenario doesn’t necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may inadvertently overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.

I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.

A.Bad medical outcomes affect doctors.

B.Delivering babies can be difficult work.

The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.

My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life - everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me－a young woman－with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people's children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don't know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I'd like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.

If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.

Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one－it tricks your subconscious(潜意识)into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner(哀诉者).

65. The underlined "utilities" refers to such things as ______ in the passage.

A. gas and electricity   supplies                            B. water and gas supplies

C. shower equipment and water supply             D. heating and TV signals

66. The writer was grateful mainly for ______.

A. his neighbor's donation                  B. his community

C. having got the job                        D. others' trust

67. The writer's personal story in the second paragraph tells us that ______.

A. to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home

B. we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful

C. a grateful person is most likely to be successful

D. the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose

68. The best title for the passage would be ________.

A. A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor        B. You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner

C. Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life D. Be Grateful to Life in Advance

Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick．Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness．

The study of 79 adults（average age 72）with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help．Traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to．Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements．In the current study，the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session，plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls．

Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day，regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep．

The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia，which included the same instructions given to the intervention group，but without the individualized sessions with a therapist．Two weeks later，the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call．

At the end of four weeks，the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group．By that time，55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia，compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures．

The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U．K．'s Mental Health Foundation．The report，Sleep Matters，suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships，low energy levels and an inability to concentrate．Poor sleep has already been linked to depression，immune deficiency and heart disease．

1.What is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia”?

A．sleeplessness　　　 　　 B．depression

C．heart disease　　 　　　 D．immune deficiency

2.What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?

A．It can’t help．

B．It costs a lot of money．

C．It requires sessions with a therapist．

D．It includes sleep-aiding medications．

3.How to improve sleep according to the doctor?

A．Lying in bed awake．

B．Get up early every day．

C．Don’t go to bed late at night．

D．Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep．

4.We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except________．

A．depression　　　 　　　 B．concentration

C．immune deficiency 　 D．heart disease

How to Break the Anxiety Cycle

People who suffer from anxiety tend to be stuck in an ongoing loop of avoidance. It’s the classic dynamic of anxiety: 1., our symptoms tend to increase, and in turn this drives the anxiety up and makes the things we’re afraid of scarier. Here are some techniques on how to slowly overcome this mental health challenge. 2.. Words have power. For example, saying “I am panicked about going to this party tonight” will put you in a more negative state of mind compared to saying “I’d prefer if I didn’t have to go to this party.” Start by putting your words to the positive and to a point where you still feel it resonates（共鸣）.

Let go of perfectionism. People with social anxiety feel as if they are walking on a social tightrope. 3.. We have unrealistic high standards where we think we must be cool, positive, and witty while carrying the entire conversation—it’s too much. And keep in mind that you are not expected to be someone you’re not in order to get people to like you.

Make small gestures. Instead of “jumping off a cliff” and walking straight into a situation that makes you anxious, start becoming more expressive in situations that you feel are less threatening.

4., say good morning to a neighbor you rarely speak with, or tell your hairstylist the exact look you’ re going for instead of agreeing with their suggestion.

Shift your awareness. Our attention is like a spotlight and we choose where to point it. Those with social anxiety tend to point that spotlight inward and state the commentary of our inner critic.

5..

A.Choose your words carefully

B.Pay attention to your health condition

C.For example, ask a stranger for directions

D.When we avoid the things we’re afraid of

E.If the things reduce feelings of social anxiety

F.It’s this idea that we need to perform perfectly

G.Focus on what’s happening around you, not inside you
