It is really hard to say which is better than the other，city life or rural life.__66__

Living in a city，people have certain advantages. First，people enjoy various entertainments，both foreign and domestic. Second，there are more cultural activities in a city. Third，city people gain access to better information service and educational facilities.__67__The overcrowded population，traffic jam，housing problem，industrial pollution and other issues may result in depression，nervousness and diseases.

Life in the village and on the farm is very different from life in the city. Living in the country，people can enjoy living in pure nature.__68__But rural life may not be that perfect. People usually lack cultural activities. They are relatively ill informed.__69__And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in cities，so the chances of their children being admitted to colleges are slim.

Obviously，whatever life they lead，people can never feel perfectly satisfied，for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist. People wish that they could enjoy the pleasures of both lives. With the rapid economic development，nowadays city people can relax themselves in the country during vacation.__70__

E．However，problems exist.

F．And country people have chances to experience city lifestyle when they come to cities.

G．City life is obviously much more comfortable.

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 bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be attacking, or to treatment for things that should be left out.

Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system(免疫系统), they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. 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 experts for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she caught 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 discussing with other patients in online support groups. "It's a really hard thing to determine when doctors have 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 purpose?" Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new expert to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power's condition was stable. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.

1.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.Her doctor asked her to consult other experts for her complaints.

C.When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more tests.

D.She did not have any insurance, so she became penniless.

2.When did the Powers start to doubt the treatment of Mrs. Power?

A.After they knew about the treatment of other patients.

B.After they analyzed the results of her blood tests

C.After Mrs power was cured of her illness.

D.After the new expert tested her.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stable" in the last paragraph?

A.not getting worse B.improper

C.unchangeable D.uncertain

4.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.Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary.

D.Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients.
