The field of medicine has always attracted its share of quacks and charlatans — disrepu-table women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modem 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. [br] 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
是非题型。 B选项蛇油没有效果,是事实,因为snake oil指江湖医生的万用药。文中第二段even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the i lls与C项意思相同。一些 人不会选择a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long…由此推断D项也正确。
