Linda was staring at herself in the mirror. She’d decided she didn’t like the mole(痣) to the left of her nose.“It’s

so 1 .” She felt sad. Her mom, folding laundry(叠衣服) in the hallway, overheard her and poked her head into the

room. “What’s so ugly?” “This ugly mark on my face,” Linda 2 and pointed at it.

Mom came in, setting the laundry aside. She lowered her head and looked close at the mole. 3 she gave her

daughter a kiss on the cheek and said, “I like it, because it gives your face character.” Linda pushed her mother away

half-heartedly. “You would think that. Besides, character is a nice way to say ugly.” Linda smiled though and she

liked her mother’s 4 to cheer her up.

“I have a couple of my own. You tend to get more as you get older.” Mom sighed and looked into the 5 .

“You still have beautiful eyes, though. Mine are boring brown, like most everyone else in the world,” Linda said.

She’d always loved her mother’s green eyes.

“You have warm, chocolate brown eyes. They are like hot cocoa, and they are pretty,” Mom smiled. Linda

turned back to the mirror, touching her face. “What about my nose?” she said.

“It 6 your face. Why are you running yourself down? You have a unique(独特), beautiful set of features.

Stop feeling painful about little details and enjoy your youth and 7 already.”

“I just wish I were prettier. Some of my friends are so beautiful, and I feel ordinary next to them.”

“We can’t all be supermodels, dear. Even so, you are unique—there is no one else in the world that looks like

you. You have a nice mixture of Dad and me in you, and I don’t like hearing you knocking your looks. You are

amazing,” said Mom.

“Alright, Mom. I won’t complain anymore,” said Linda.

Mom left the room. “I’m done trying to 8 you up! Now it’s your turn to finish the laundry,”Mom called

over her shoulder.

Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means

we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and

challenges come together.

Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor

online and get a diagnosis(诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health

needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by

technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely(可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides.

What might be on the other side of techno-health care?

Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a

receptionist(接待员), who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s

unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one’s life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care,
