大学英语四级阅读模拟试题及答案详解 It happens to every medical student sooner or later. You get a cough that persists for a while. Ordinarily,you would just ignore it-but now, armed with your rapidly growing medical knowledge, you cant help worrying. The cough could mean just a cold, but it could also be a sign of lung cancer. For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens ofthousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awfuldisease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that theres nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesnt have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris .or her worst fears. Hypochondriacs dont harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Although they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria (网络疑病症). 英语四级阅读模拟题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.According to the passage, if you suffer from hypochondria, _.
