This is a distrustful age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefathers earnestly believed has weakened, our confidence in the curative properties of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs. This modem faith in medicines is proved by the fact that the annual drag bill of the Health Services is mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise. The majority of the patients attending the medical out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that they have not received adequate treatment unless they are able to carry home with them some remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of ointment, and the doctor in charge of the department is only too ready to provide them with their requirements. There is no quicker method of disposing of patients than by giving them what they are asking for, and since most medical men in the Health Services are overworked and have little time for offering time-consuming and little-appreciated advice on such subjects as diet, right living, and the need for abandoning bad habits, etc., the bottle, the box, and the jar are almost always granted them.
Nor is it only the ignorant and ill-educated person who has such faith in the bottle of medicine, especially if it be wrapped in white paper and sealed with a dab of red sealing-wax by a clever chemist. It is recounted of Thomas Carlyle that when he heard of the illness of his friend, Henry Taylor, be went off immediately to visit him, carrying with him in his pocket what remained of a bottle of medicine formerly prescribed for a disease of Mrs Carlyle’s.
According to the Health Services, the main reason for the incredible increase of annual drug bill is ______.
选项
A、the same faith in the curative properties of medicines as our ancestors’
B、physician-causing abuse of medicines
C、doctors’ advice being distrustful
D、patients still believe in medicines and they seldom appreciated the doctors’ advice
答案
D
解析
从文章的第一句话可以看出,尽管现代人淡化了许多对祖先的信仰,但对药物的信任和依赖却丝毫未变。从第一段的第三句话和第四句话同样可以看出,这种对药物的依赖是由医生和病人共同作用下产生的。因此D是正确答案。
