eatment really works. In fact, entire fields of research are devoted to understanding why these errors of thought occur. They 46 from socalled cognitive prejudice that can mislead even 47 practitioners into making the wrong decisions.Doctors are usually locked onto a diagnosis early and disregard new and 48 information. For example, a patient may be diagnosed with a quickly fatal cancer, but then ends up trying various herbal remedies and lives for 30 more years. Instead of analyzing the 49 diagnosis, the patient, and maybe even the doctor, may assume that the herbal remedies cured the cancer.Also, some experienced doctors tend to believe evidence when it supports their previous opinion while subconsciously ignoring information opposing it. Let’s say your doctor is pretty certain you have ill digestion and orders a test to 50 the suspicion, which produces negative result. But she treats you for ill digestion anyway because she was 51 with the prior diagnosis by experience. In fact, there are clearly many benefits to having a highly experienced doctor, such as technical proficiency. But there may actually be some unexpected benefits to having a lessexperienced one too. She may have a more uptodate education, boundless energy and perhaps is less vulnerable to biases, freed from the same 52 for years.To safeguard yourself as a patient, one thing you should always do is 53 . It may not always be possible to determine that your doctor has met with an unconscious thinking 54 . But asking questions does force your doctor to think twice and 55 her decision about your case.( )41. A. innocent B. productive C. inexperienced D. prohibited( )42.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Last October I was on a diving holiday in the Philippines with seven other advanced divers. I dived off the boat slowly sinking to about 20m. After nearly 45 minutes, the sound of my breathing was drowned out by a low rumble like an engine and Ifelt deep powerful vibrations (震動) as if a big boat with a propeller was passing overhead. The dive instructor’s eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef (礁石). The situation felt sinister.Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle (海龜) racing past us? They are normally slow movers so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That’s when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splintering open and grinding against itself.The instructor and I held hands and looked into each other’s eyes. I felt forted by his presence. I was numb (麻木的) for terror but clearheaded. My body went on high alert, ready to react. But I have no power over whatever this is. The only option is to stay very still and let it do whatever its going to do.It took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which is not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was ambiguous with potential threats pending. Soon we saw other divers.The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when they stopped I heard the swoosh of sand falling over the seabed. We all held hands before resurfacing to avoid depression sickness, which can be fatal. When up, it was a huge relief to see all the divers and we all shared incredulous looks before pulling out our breathing tools and shouting,”What was that?”Back on the boat, we rushed to check the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening.( )56. How did the author realize that they met with an earthquake? A. By feeling the violent shake under the sea. B. By witnessing a normallyslow turtle quickly movingby. C. By seeing the seafloor crack. D. By checking the news and be informed of the event.( )57. Why didn’t the author rise to the surface before the vibration stopped? A. Because the instructor gestured him not to rise. B. Because he was numb in body. C. Because he could sense the unclear water situation. D. Because he tried to avoid unexpected danger above.( )58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. At the beginning of the event, a big boat passed by causing big vibration. B. All the divers used the reef as the protection against the violent vibration.
