    People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modem age of medicine began with the stethoscope ,an instrument for listening to patients heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such things as a medical examination.
    The stethoscope──and all other medical instruments──-had a serious effect, on the practice of medicine. Doctors became better at finding the medical problems. More lives were saved. At the same time, doctors gave less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stopped talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.

    A. check health conditions     B. cure some illness
    C. measure temperature       D. treat heart disease

    A. modern medical instruments were used
    B. they could cure more diseases and save more lives
    C. they had much more medical experience than before

    B. the level of the treatment was greatly improved
    C. they thought they were useless just like broken machines

    The sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should get and the amount you actually get. It grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. “People accumulate sleep debts gradually,” says Dr. William Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, impaired vision, worsened driving and troubled remembering. Long- term effects include obesity, insulin(胰岛素) resistance, and heart disease.
    A 2007 survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that Americans sleep for 6.9 hours per night, 6.8 hours on average during the week and 7.4 hours on the weekends. Generally, experts recommend eight hours of sleep per night, although some people may require only six hours of sleep while others need ten. That means on average, Americans lose one hour of sleep each night more than two full weeks of sleep every year.
    The good news is that the sleep debt can be repaid with some work, though it won’t happen when you sleep longer for once. Adding an extra hour or two hours of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term sleep shortage, it takes a few months to get back to natural sleeping pattern, says Lawrence J. Epstein, medical director of the Harvard Sleep Health Center.
    Go to bed when you are tired, allowing your body to wake you in the morning, with no alarm clock. You may find yourself uncomfortable at the beginning of the recovery cycle. Expect to bank to ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease. For recovery sleep, both the hours of the sleep and the intensity(强度) of the sleep are important. The most refreshing sleep occurs during deep sleep, which is generally considered a restorative (促使健康的) period for the brain. And when you sleep for more hours, you allow your brain to spend more time relaxing.
    As you reduce the sleep debt, your body will come to rest at a sleeping pattern that is specifically right for you. Sleep researcher believe that genes determine our individual sleeping patterns. So you can’t train yourself to be a “short sleeper”. A 2005 study in the journal Sleep found that the more tired we get, the less tired we feel.
    46. Which of the following is NOT the side effect of sleep debt?
    A. Putting on weight.  B. Having a bad memory. 
    C. Having trouble eating food.  D. A temporary loss of eyesight.
    47. We learn from the 2007 survey that _______.
    A. Americans generally don’t have enough sleep
    B. Americans sleep too much over the weekends
    C. everyone is supposed to sleep for eight hours
    D. most people lack two weeks of sleep every year
    48. What should we do to make up for the sleep shortage?
    A. We should go to sleep when we are free.
    B. We should sleep for at least ten hours every day.
    C. We should sleep for one or two more hours at night.
    D. We should sleep day and night during the holidays.
    49. Why is the intensity of the sleep important to us?
    A. Our brain is resting when we are sleeping deeply.
    B. Deep sleep helps our brain to fully recover.
    C. We feel more relaxed when sleeping soundly.
    D. Short sleep makes our body more refreshing.
    50. The author seems to believe that _________.
    A. the more tired we are getting, the more sleep we need 
    B. the sleeping patterns have nothing to do with our genes
    C. it is possible for us to reduce our sleep time by training
    D. it is wise for us to adapt to our natural sleeping patterns.

    Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) is a unique technique invented by Dr Kataria, a doctor from India, by which you can learn to “Laugh for No Reason”. You don’t even need a sense of humor, no funny jokes or comedy programs — just a willingness to laugh — and in the present climate everyone needs to laugh more.
    Laughter Yoga is a combination of Laughter Exercises and Yogic Breathing, so that you increase the amount of oxygen in your body while being playful, resulting in you feeling healthier, energetic and alive. This actually changes the physical conditions of your body so that you start to feel happier.
    Laughter Yoga is generally done in groups although it can be practiced alone. When you make eye contact with someone and you’re both willing to laugh, the laughter is increased. However, we do say that you can “Fake (假装) it, fake it till you make it” because the body doesn’t know the difference between fake and true laughter; as long as you’re willing to laugh you’ll experience the same health benefits.
    Laughter Yoga started in a park in Mumbai in 1995 with just 5 participants, and now there’re over 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 different countries — showing the willingness of the world to laugh together.
    In the UK, Julie was one of the first people to train as a Laughter Leader with Dr Kataria in June 2002. In 2006 she was awarded Laughter Ambassador for her selfless service to promote Laughter Yoga.
    “Yoga has been part of my life for 30 years but 7 years ago my life changed when I discovered Laughter Yoga. I believe laughter and yoga are both good for your health,” says Julie.

    A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.
    Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤)．They said that they found faults in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
    Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.
    But questions has been raised about sunscreen and whether it may has opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
    The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer--- people with fair skin and freckles (雀斑), for example--- are more likely to use sunscreen．As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
    The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.
    小题1:People with fair skin and freckles         .
    A．seldom use sunscreen
    B．are more in danger of skin cancer
    C．can be free from the harm of the sun
    D．often expose themselves to the sun
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that         .
    A．sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
    B．the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen
    C．the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
    D．the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America
    小题3:Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
    A．Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
    B．Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
    C．Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
    D．Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles

    American farmers are raising five percent more goats for meat these days．
    Goat meat is high in protein(蛋白质)and lower in unhealthy fat than many other meats．Even so，the industry is small compared to chicken，beef and pork. But immigration has brought more of a taste for goat to America from all over the world.
    Experts from the University of Illinois offer some questions for people to consider if they are thinking about raising goats．
    First of all，do you understand that there always has to be someone to care for the goats?
    ◆How much land do you have available? And how good is it? Poor ground may support two to four goats on half a hectare．Better grassland can support six to eight. If goats and cattle share the land，two goats can be added for each cow. The goats will eat weeds and other plants that cattle do not like．
    ◆Do you have buildings for the number of female goats you plan to keep during winter? An open，cold，dry barn is better than a closed，warm barn where the air is wet．
    ◆Do you have the equipment to clean barns（畜棚） and to harvest hay（草料） to feed your goats? Or will you get someone else to do it，or buy the hay?
    The experts say a profitable business in goat meat may take three to five years to establish．And, of course, there are no guarantees .
    小题1:On which section of a newspaper will this passage appear?
    A．International AffairsB．Entertainment
    C．AgricultureD．Culture
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT a factor in making goat meat more popular?
    A．Goat meat is healthy food.
    B．Immigrants bring different tastes.
    C．The industry still leaves room for profit.
    D．Raising goats is challenging.
    小题3:If someone has two hectares of good grass land, what is the maximum number of cows and goats he can raise?
    A．32 cows and 64 goats．B．32 cows and 32 goats．
    C．16 cows and 32 goats．D．8 cows and 16 goats．
    小题4: What is the experts’ opinion about the goat-raising business?
    A．You can make sure money．
    B．You had better be cautious and patient．
    C．Goats are hardly possible to raise．
    D．Goat meat still needs to be recognized．

    All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound =" 0.454" kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.
    I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.
    After more than twenty years of battling obesity（肥胖）, my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.
    To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.
    She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”
    The competition was exciting! I prayed that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.
    That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.

    TEENAGERS lead an exciting life in high school, making friends and dreaming about the future. However, as all young people know, teenagers have plenty of worries too.
    Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? A survey by the UK's Department of Health shows that the top worries are losing weight (减肥) and fitting in (适应). Over 100,000 teenagers took part in the research.
    Losing weight is a big concern among teenagers. This may be an effect of famous people with perfect bodies around them.
    Adolescence is a physically and emotionally difficult time. Teenagers want to feel good about their bodies.

    It's interesting to see that family background has an effect on teenagers' worries. Teenagers from low-income families worried more about losing weight and bullying (欺凌弱小). Teenagers from higher income families were more likely to worry about fitting in and peer pressure (同辈压力).
    49  According to the survey, British teenagers are most worried about ______.
    A. fitting in and making money                      B. finding jobs and making friends
    C. losing weight and being accepted                   D. making money and losing weight.
