四級閱讀理解訓練筆記：練習題7
Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we fit in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark - alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump - convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadnt. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning the device.
注：1.cheer 歡呼、喝彩
2.convince 使 相信
3.monitor 監視
4.review 回顧
5.the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 美國食物藥品管理局簡寫FDA
成果型文章：
1.文章中只有一個成果，作者正評價
2.文中出現新、老兩個成果，新成果正評，老成果負評，抓住正負評價原因
3.抓住新老成果各自技術特點
The recall may hurt Symbion Inc, maker of the Jarvik-7, but it wont end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned model is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection . Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patients chest. The first sample products arent expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that theyll work - and that Americas overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nations health.
注：1.recall 取消，re 有 向后 含義
2.看到Symbion Inc.就把32題標在這里;看到new devices就把33題標在這里。
3.external 外部的，passage 通道
4.work 可行、有效，they 指代前文 the first sample product
5.providing 引導現在分詞做狀語
指代題做法：1.將代詞所在句代詞之前部分的名詞以及代詞之前句子的名詞劃出
2.根據單復數縮小范圍
3.注意結合動詞判斷所指代為人、事或物
