In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians' financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.
首先应该明白discrepancy指的是什么：physicians believe that the companies’ requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.——医生认为时间不够，但实际上每个医生接待一个病人的时间是增长的，所以这个discrepancy就是：为什么时间增长了，医生还是觉得不够。
B很完美得解答了这个疑问：因为在诊断之前，需要考虑的因素比以前要多了，因此所需要的时间也会变多。虽然现在相对于十年前看病人的时间有所增长，但是这个时间的实际增长可能不足以满足医生对时间长度的合理需求。
那么能够conform以上2点的就只有B.医生给病人开方子前可选择的治疗手段变多了，对于医生来说他们就要花更多时间来选择，尽管对于病人来说office time变长，但其实变长的只是医生做选择的时间，而非spend with patients的时间。

结合材料中提到的require physiscians to document their decisions, 发现B选项内容接近
因为不仅新政策要求医生慎重做选择，而且选择内容越来越多了。
我本来觉得the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients表述牵强，并不是新政本身prevent医生花时间，而是增加的选择和新政两个因素让医生不得不花时间
但注意这只是most physicians believe ，是医生的主观感觉
医生说的是 自己与病人之间的相处的时间变少了
但是数据却证明医生和病人呆在Office的时间变多了
差距在于，医生指的是给病人看病，而病人指的是呆在office 中和医生度过的时间
也就是说有一些时间是医生没有在看病但是病人也在office中。 所以选择了B
Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients.医生认为公司的要求 阻止他们花足够的时间在病人身上，所以医生觉得时间不够啊

因为开处方前，医生with 病人，要想的更多。
医生认为要花时间因应保险公司的要求就会导致他们与病人相处的时间减少。
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent? 解释相处的时间如何增多以因应保险公司的要求 B. 因为要因应保险公司的要求，所以医生的选择空间变大了，然后在这个过程里是和病人相处在一起的
E.隐含是说office visit时间变短，与原文信息相悖，且不能解释这个discrepancy
B.医生需要花费更多的时间考虑治疗手段，那么真正给病人看病的时间被缩短
C.讲医生夜班和周末的工作方式，没提到问诊病人的时间。
