The field of medicine has always attracted its share of quacks and charlatans—disreputable women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are easy to find.
To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body or mind hurts will often pay any amount of money for the promise of relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that beset men and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears.
Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Given the choice between(a)a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long, expensive and may not work at all, and(b)a salesperson who says that several bottles of a secret formula " snake oil" will cure not only cancer but tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for "snake oil".
Many "snake oil" remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their pains in the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that "snake oil" is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But let there be no misunderstandings. A very few "home remedies" actually work. However, most remedies sold by quacks are not only useless, but often can be harmful as well.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Quacks are really sympathetic.
B、Snake oil does not work.
C、Doctors cannot cure all ills.
D、Patients are often impatient.
答案
A
解析
本题考查是非判断。B项“蛇油没有效果”是事实,因为snake oil是江湖医生所称的万用药,并不是真的有效,所以B项正确。根据文章第二段中的“even the bestmedical treatment cannot cure all the ills”可知,即使是最好的医生也不能治好所有的病,所以C项正确。根据“Given the choice between(a)a reputable physician who says a curefor cancer will be long,expensive and may not work at all,and(b)a salesperson who saysthat several bottles of a secret formula‘snake oil’will cure not only cancer but tuberculosis aswell,some individuals will opt for‘snake oil’”可知,一个声誉良好的医生说治疗癌症是一个长期的过程,一个售货员说蛇油可治百病,病人就会选择买蛇油,由此推知,病人不太有耐心,所以,D项正确。据此推断,答案是A。
