My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. Because of the terrible smell of paint, it became normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch time.All of my spare time was spent writing and sending stories to any publisher that would read them, dreaming that one day losing consciousness while eating my ham sandwiches would no longer be a part of my daily routine.I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldn't faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words about an advertisement for a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.Several months later, the money got better. I was given consistent work writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I wrote about the society and they paid me &50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if I would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them.

“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients’ health,” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.

Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.

“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook,and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names,”regulators have warned.“Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”

It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40,finding 59 percent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like.Sixty percent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients,it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care.

Lesley Fallow field of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said,“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges.Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life threatening disease,conveying the true prognosis (预断),discussing the complexity of modern treatments,and explaining the unavailability of some drugs,the side effects of treatments,and likely treatment aims.”

A. They don’t like to cheat patients.

B.They are not good at treating patients.

C.They find it not easy to be objective to the patients.

D.They seldom blur the relationship with patients.

10.What should doctors do according to the regulators?

A.dd patients as friends on Facebook.

B.Have a close connection with patients in life.

C.Always be cold to patients.

D.Keep a proper distance to patients.

11.Which opinion will Lesley Fallow field agree with?
