A baby's smile has the same effect.Have you ever been in a doctor's waiting room and looked around at all the sad faces waiting impatiently to be seen? There were six or seven patients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine-month-old baby.She sat down next to a gentleman who was more than a little impatient about the long wait for service. The baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies.2.Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grand-children and then the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were changed into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

The clock always seems to be ticking rather too fast in the doctor's office and the queue of patients outside the door seems to be pressing rather too hard. Some say it's high time for the model of short, sharp one-to-one appointments to give way to shared medical appointments(SMAs).
SMAs are doctor-patient visits in which a group of patients receive patient education and counseling (咨询),physical examination and medical support in a group setting. Typically SMAs are designed to have one or more doctors attend to a group of patients who share a common illness or medical condition. In contrast to one-to-one visits, SMAs provide a longer appointment time-frame as well as the opportunity for patients to have improved access to their physicians and meanwhile pick up additional information and support from peers.
However, doctors who have pioneered the shared appointment approach report that there are significant challenges involved. Dr. Sumego , director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic,identifies culture change as the most significant challenge. Physicians and nurses are trained in a model of personal service and privacy; the SMA approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas. They need shared goals and a way of testing the innovation against agreed standards. Dr. Sumego says,“The physicians may be worried about the possible chaos and efficiencies that are marketed. They also have to make the patients understand what their appointment is, and what the expectation is.”
“So, if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments, I would advise them to start the buy-in from a few champion physicians, develop the work-flow and develop some experience. Provide some support behind what that best practice should look like. Create some standards so that, as the concept spreads, you can employ that experience to start the next shared medical appointments and the next.”
1.What is the purpose of the SMA approach?
A. To improve medical service. B. To promote doctors' reputation.
C. To conduct medical research. D. To meet patients' expectation.
2.According to Dr.Sumego, what prevents the SMA approach from being widely adopted?
A. Personal service. B. Fixed ideas.
C. Lack of equipment. D. Shared goals.
3.What can the underlined“buy-in”in Paragraph 4 be replaced by?
A. Support. B. Organization.
C. Purchase. D. Practice.
4.What can be learned about the SMA approach in the last paragraph?
A. It is currently being questioned.
B. It is impractical in some areas.
C. It will enjoy wide popularity soon.
D. It should be carried out step by step.
If 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us, it's a total disaster. Your entire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number of likes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.
Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passing judgment on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a person's numbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another person's weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.
In today's social media consumed society,it has never been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world.A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you don't have a certain number of followers, then you aren't“cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate.Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you really are. In the end.self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.
So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定义)you. You are not your numbers. You are a person-a3-D living and breathing person with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent. You are the things you love and the things you laugh at and the way you treat others.
