It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society, where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties. Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately unclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programmes are expanding. Such an expanding assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
According to the first paragraph, what problem could be solved by an increase in industrial production?

A. It can increase the use of nuclear power.
B. It can worsen the resource crisis.
C. It accelerates the pollution problem.
D. It can resolve the problem of mass unemployment.

Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis, that is telemedicine, will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of the Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf PDA(personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response -- especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing glob al access to medical data and expertise.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world -- CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters, such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should greet an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
The main idea of this passage is ______.

A. what the future of health care is like
B. how online doctors operate on patients
C. first-aid kit found wider uses
D. bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting images
