19、urers who made probably 95 percent of the diners in the U.S., says Katie Zavoski, who is helping hold a diner exhibit. What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee shop?)

Technically, its not even really about a diner the setting is
22、New York Citys Toms Restaurant, which Vega frequented when she was studying at Barnard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it “sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called Toms Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Posts front page was

In her song Vega sings: “I Open / Up the paper / Theres a story / Of an actor / Who had died / While he was drinking.” LISTEN “Toms Diner” by Suzanne Vega MEET THE DINER ANTHROPOLOGIST Richard J.S. Gutman has been called the “Jane Goodall of diners”
24、(he even consulted on Barry Levinsons 1982 film, Diner). His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the evolution of the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s, when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car), and on through the 1980s.

B University graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail. Bridgit, which they founded in
28、 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and trac
29、k the problems to solution. More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called Closeout, officially launched. Feedback(反馈)was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some k
30、ind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app? The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie took that advice. As more business cu
31、stomers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. Since then, the companys growth has been rapid. Earlier this year, Bridgit launched Closeout ,which is designed so that even the least tech-savvy can use it easily. Today, the app is being used on sites across Canada and the Unite
32、d States and even by top general contractors.In October, Bridgit was named to the Canadian Innovation Exchanges top 20 list of Canadas most innovative (创新的) companies working in digital media and information and communication technology .

36、smartphone application meets with challenges D. Graduates smartphone application plays an important role in our life C The Supreme Courts decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeds to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering. Although it ruled tha
37、t there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effects”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects-a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen-is permissible if the ac
38、tor intends only the good effect.Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the pr
39、inciple will shield doctors who until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication to control their pain if that might hasten death.George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a
40、 drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. Its like surgery, he says. “We dont call those deaths homicides because the doctors didnt intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If youre a physici
41、an, you can risk your patients suicide as long as you dont intend their suicide.On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.Just thre
42、e weeks before the Courts ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of ineffectual and forced medical procedures that
43、may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying as the twin problems of end-of-life care.The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to devel
44、op new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably su
45、ffering,” to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse.” He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear . that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.”62. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that_A. doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients pain.B. it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.C. the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide.D. pati
