2015职称英语卫生类考试阅读判断专项习题As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information inand scientists Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain—the part that controls language—is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teachinghelp. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.1.One out of five American children suffers from dyslexia.A. RightB. WrongC.

NursesThe physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical workers. From the angle of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However, each must be equally trained. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.The nursing staff in a hospital is usually quite large and various. Nursing services, after all, must be provided on a 24-hour basis. There are professional (专业的) nurses, practical nurses, nurse's aids, and orderlies (勤杂工). The general term nurse refers to a person trained to offer bedside care to sick persons.Under the supervision (管理) of the head nurse, the nursing staff in a hospital ward must attend to patients' needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight hours in length. The nurses on the ward rotate (轮换) their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts. Allof them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurse's station.A nurse must always be on her guard. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situations, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.1 The physicians in a hospital are less important than the nursing staff.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 The nurses in a hospital usually spend more time with the patients than the physicians.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 A nurse is not qualified if she does not have patience and show concern for her patients.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Nurses often earn as much money as physicians do because they tend to work long days and at odd hours.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Nursing services in a hospital are generally available around the clock.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 The nurse's station is the only place where nurses in a hospital ward can be fount.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 Nurses who work in the intensive care unit in a hospital are better trained than other nurses.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned参考答案:16.

These trey cards are of all possible shades of grey and include white and black. On each card a watch-glass is placed. The watch-glass on the blue card has some syrup in it; all the others are empty. After a short time bees find the syrup, and they come for it again and again. Then, after some hours, we take away the watch-glass of syrup which was on the blue card and put an empty one in its place.Now what do the bees do? They still go straight to the blue card, although there is no syrup there. They do not go to any of the grey cards, in spite of the fact that one of the grey cards is of exactly the same brightness as the blue card. Thus the bees do not mistake any shade of grey for blue. In this way we have proved that they do really see blue as a colour.We can find out in just the same way what other colours bees can see. It turns out that bees can see various colours, but these insects differ from us as regards their colour-sense in two very interesting ways. Suppose we train bees to come to a red card, and, having done so, we put the red card on the table in the garden among the set of different grey cards. This time we find that the bees mistake red for dark grey or black. They cannot distinguish between them. This means that red is not a colour at all for bees; for them it is just dark grey or black.That is one strange fact; here is another. A rainbow is red on one edge, violet on the other. Outside the violet of the rainbow there is another colour which we cannot see at all. This colour beyond the violet, invisible to us, is called the ultra-violet. Although it is invisible, we know that the ultra-violet is there because it affects a photographic plate. Now, although we are unable to see ultra-violet light, bees can do so; for them ultra-violet is a colour. Thus bees see a colour which we cannot even imagine. This has been found out by training bees to come for syrup to various parts of a spectrum, or artificial rainbow, thrown by a prism on a table in a dark room. In such an experiment the insects can be taught to fly to the ultra-violet, which for us is just darkness.1. The experiment with bees described in the first and second paragraphs tell us that bees regard blue as a colour.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned2. The third paragraph tells us that bees also regard red as a colour.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned3. The experiment described in the second paragraph aimed to find out that bees are not able to see grey as a colour.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned4. An artificial rainbow was created for the experiment to see whether bees can recognize the ultra-violet as a colour.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned5. The fourth paragraph tells us that bees may be harmed by ultra-violet light.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned6. We can conclude from the passage that bees recognize colours in the same way as human beings.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned7. Bees are more sensitive to colours than human beings.A. RightB. WrongC.

It began as a small village beside the River Wensum. At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 it had grown to become one of the largest towns in England.With two cathedrals and a mosque (清真寺), Norwich has long been a popular centre for various religions. The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern itself independently.Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150,000, but in the 16th century Norwich was the second largest city of England. It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in the year.Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs, but in 1964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich. With itsfast-growing student population and its success as a modern commercial centre (Norwich is the biggest centre for insurance services outside London), the city now has a wide choice of entertainment: theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafes, excellent restaurants, and a number of arts and leisure centres. There is also a football team, whose colours are green and yellow. The team is known as "The Canaries (金丝雀)", though nobody can be sure why.Now the city's attractions include another important development, a modern shopping centre called 'The Castle Mall'. The people of Norwich lived with a very large hole in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park. Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city centre park, with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees. But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new development. Both areas continue to do good business, proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new.16 The River Wensum flows by NorwichA RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 People have lived by the River Wensum for at least 2,000 yearsA RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Norwich has been a city since its first cathedral was builtA RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Norwich has always been one of the smallest EnglishcitiesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 The number of foreign students in Norwich has been increasing since 1964.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 The football team is called "The Canaries" because of the colours the players wear.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 It took more than two years to build "The Castle Mall"A RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案:AABBCBAA Dog's DilemmaFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, for example, an inconvenience. For the African wild dog, one of the continent's most endangered carnivores, it's a matter of life and death. New research shows that once packs fall below a certain size, there are not enough animals to both hunt food and stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss, persecution and unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to 5, 000 animals remain, and the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog's weakness lies in its social organisation.Within each pack of up to 20 adults and pups, only thedominant male and female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey and defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can't keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators, which include lions and hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs.A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey and to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food hack to the den, and one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off by modelling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups and still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting or the babysitting suffers, or the animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions- which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals or fewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle, says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poor reproduction and low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in failure of the whole pack. " And deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduces pack numbers to below the sustainable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London's Institute of Zoologyagrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vital in pre serving the species, he says.16. The African wild dog has been endangered.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17.

These babies may grow into adults with a high risk of heart disease and strokes.Research has hinted that newborns in mountain communities are lighter than average. But it wasn’t clear whether this is due to reduced oxygen levels at high altitude or because their mothers are under-nourished—many people who live at high altitudes are relatively poor compared with those living lower down.To find out more, Dino Giussani and his team at Cambridge University studied the records of 400 births in Bolivia during 1997 and 1998. The babies were born in both rich and poor areas of two cities: La Paz and Santa Cruz. La Paz is the highest city in the would, at 3.65 kilometers above sea level, while Santa Cruz is much lower, at 0.44 kilometers.Sure enough, Giussani found that the average birth weight of babies in La Paz was significantly lower than in Santa Cruz. This was true in both high and low-income families. Even babies born to poor families in Santa Cruz were heavier on average than babies born to wealthy families in lofty La Paz. “We were very surprised by this result,” says Giussani.The results suggest that babies born at high altitude aredeprived of oxygen before birth. “This may trigger the release or suppression of hormones that regulate growth of the unborn child, “says Giussani.His also found that high-altitude babies tended to have relatively larger heads compared with their bodies. This is probably because a fetus starved of oxygen will send oxygenated blood to the brain in preference to the rest of the body.Giussani wants to find out if such babies have a higher risk of disease in later life. People born in La Paz might be prone to heart trouble in adulthood, for example. Low birth weight is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. And newborns with a high ratio of head size to body weight are often predisposed to high blood pressure and strokes in later life.练习:According to the passage, one of the reasons why newborns in mountain communities are underweight is that their mothers are underweight.A.

CNew Understanding of Natural Silk’s MysteriesNatural silk, as we all know, has a strength that man-made materials have long struggled to match. In a discovery that sounds more like an ancient Chinese proverb than a materials science breakthrough, MIT researchers have discovered that silk gets its strength from its weakness. Or, more specifically, its many weaknesses. Silk gets its extraordinary durability andductility (柔韧性) from an unusual arrangement of hydrogen bonds that are intrinsically very weak but that work together to create a strong, flexible structure.Most materials —especially the ones we engineer for strength —get their toughness from brittleness. As such, natural silks like those produced by spiders have long fascinated both biologists and engineers because of their light weight, ductility and high strength (pound for pound, silk is stronger than steel and far less brittle). But on its face, it doesn't seem that silks should be as strong as they are; molecularly, they are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are far weaker than the covalent (共价的) bonds found in other molecules.To get a better understanding of how silk manages to produce such strength through such weak bonds, the MIT team created a set of computer models that allowed them to observe the way silk behaves at the atomic level. They found that the arrangement of the tiny silk nanocrystals (纳米晶体) is such that the hydrogen bonds are able to work cooperatively, reinforcing one another against external forces and failing slowly when they do fail, so as not so allow a sudden fracture to spread across a silk structure.The result is natural silks that can stretch and bend while retaining a high degree of strength. But while that's all well and good for spiders, bees and the like, this understanding of silk geometry could lead to new materials that are stronger and more ductile than those we can currently manufacture. Our best and strongest materials are generally expensive and difficultto produce (requiring high temperature treatments or energy-intensive processes).By looking to silk as a model, researchers could potentially devise new manufacturing methods that rely on inexpensive materials and weak bonds to create less rigid, more forgiving materials that are nonetheless stronger than anything currently on offer. And if you thought you were going to get out of this materials science story without hearing about carbon nanotubes (纳米碳管), think again.The MIT team is already in the lab looking into ways of synthesizing silk-like structures out of materials that are stronger than natural silk —like carbon nanotubes. Super-silks are on the horizon.16. MIT researchers carry out the study to illustrate an ancient Chinese proverb.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17.

A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from a brew already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax, said Charalambos Vlachopoulos, a cardiologist at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study. Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial compounds called flavonoids(类黄酮) -- some of which are lost in the oxidation process that black tea undergoes. Flavonoids are also found in cocoa, tomatoes and grapes. "A couple of cups a day would probably be a good dose for people," Vlachopoulos said. "This is the first study to show these effects for green tea."The researchers gave 14 healthy volunteers either green tea, diluted caffeine or hot water and then measured the functionof endothelial cells lining the circulatory system. These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow."What is important is these effects are evident fairly rapidly, within 30 minutes," Vlachopoulos said. The measurements taken 30, 90 and 120 minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea, he said.While the researchers looked only at a short-term impact, Vlachopolous said the team's studies suggest the protection is long lasting. "Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea, but it could be more beneficial because of the way it seems to improve (circulatory) function," he said.22.According to the Greek researchers, having several cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart diseaseA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned23.There are no studies done to prove that black tea is good for cardiovascular healthA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned24.The study shows that green tea and black tea are of the same benefits to cardiovascular healthA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned25.We can find flavonoids in cocoa, tomatoes and green teasA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned26.The healthy volunteers feel comfortable and exciting after drinking green teaA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned27.The researchers have made long-term studies on the impact of green tea to the health of human bodyA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned28.Green tea is not as popular as black tea in the worldA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:ABBACBCNorwichNorwich, the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia, has been in existence for more than two thousand years.

2015年职称英语卫生类C级考试阅读判断练习According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. 5,900 kids were treated at hospital emergency rooms, clinics, and doctors’ offices last year for sprains (扭伤) and strains caused by backpacks. Such injuries are so widespread that more than 70 percent of physicians surveyed by the American of Orthopedic (整形外科的) Surgeons listed backpacks as a potential clinical problem for children.How do you avoid such problems? Choose bags that have wide, padded straps (有垫的背带)and a belt. That will help transfer some of the weight from the back and shoulders to the hips. You should also tighten both straps firmly, so the pack rests about 2 inches above your waist. Also, remember to pack your bag with the heaviest items closest to your back and to bend both knees when you pick it up.I low much should you stuff into your back? That depends on your size and strength, but a general rule is not to exceed 20 percent of your body weight. So if a child weights 100 pounds, the backpack and its load should not be more than 20 pounds. One hint: Make frequent trips to your locker (储物柜) to exchange books between classes.Backpacks with wheels let you pull the weight along the ground, but they have problems too. Many are larger than the average shoulder bag, so students are tempted to carry more than they would in a conventional pack.Roller bags often don’t fit into a locker. They can also lead to tripping and falls in crowded halls. Whatever you use. 10 or 15 minutes of stretching and back strengthening is a good idea.16.

2015年职称英语考试也开始渐渐拉开序幕,网校编辑特意整理了职称英语考试相关复习内容,希望对您有所帮助,祝您学习愉快!Toenail Fungus CureIt has been well documented that for centuries the olive leaf has offered a natural means to cure many ailments of the body.This can also be applied as a toenail fungus cure.Oleuropein(橄榄苦甙),the name established for the agent in the olive leaf extract,is the reason why the olive leaf provides many positive attributes.Olive trees require this substance to ensure that the plant itself is quite robust so as to withstand any harsh weather situations or attacks from insects.The antimicrobial(抗菌剂)characteristic of olive leaf extract comes about when the oleuropein breaks down in the body into a certain acid.This acid interferes with a pathogen's(病原体的)ability to replicate.A beneficial byproduct of this response is that a jump start is given to the immune system,which begins to fight bacteria and infection on its own as well.Studies today show that toenail fungus is a common,infectious condition that strikes many people.It typically occurs when the immune system is down and can be difficult to eliminate from your system once contracted.Scientifically is it referred to as onychomycosis(灰指甲)which accounts for a large proportion of nail disorders and can become rather unsightly and painful.It first begins as a discoloration of sorts or a light colored spot under the tip of the toenail which then runs to spread until the entire nail itself is noticeably yellow and rough completely yellow,thick and rough.Fortunately,toenail fungus doesn't have to be accepted as a part of life.Various treatments are now available on the market to eliminate the fungus that causes this unpleasant condition.Applying the natural healing potential of olive leaf oil has proven to be a safe and natural way rid of this difficult ailment.When purchasing olive leaf extract,it is important to purchase from a reputable company as the processing of the plant must be done carefully to ensure that the extract is potent and effective.When consuming olive leaf extract it is important to start slowly to prevent what is known as Herxheimer reaction or"die-off."However,this outcome only happens when large doses are taken quickly.If the treatment begins slowly and is gradually increased,this response to detoxification is rarely seen at all.It is a preferable course of treatment to ingest a small amount of capsules on a daily basis to relieve toenail fungus.It is necessary to complete this therapy until the fungus is completely extinguished.Even as the fungus dies and the toenail starts to clear it is critical to persist with the course until the infected portion has grown out altogether.This toenail fungus cure should be accompanied by future preventions so that this will not occur again by keeping toenails clean and hygienic and to always keep them protected when visiting public areas where toenails are exposed._____________________________________________________________________1.Olive trees require leuropein to survive any harsh weather situations or attacks from insectsA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned正确答案:A解析:该题说的是:橄榄树需要橄榄苦甙是为了对抗艰苦的环境和虫害。
Sleep Problems Plague the Older SetOlder Americans often have difficulty getting a good night's rest.It's a huge quality-of-life problem,experts say,because contrary to popular belief,seniors require about the same amount of sleep as younger adults."Sleep problems and sleep disorders are not an inherent(固有的)part of aging,"said Dr.Harrison G.Bloom,an associate clinical professor of geriatrics(老年病学)and medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City." It's pretty much of a myth that older people need less sleep than younger people.Yet,in a study published recently in The American Journal of Medicine,researchers found that more than half of older Americans have problems getting the sleep they need.Older people tend to have"sleep fragmentation,"meaning they wake up more often during the night,said study author Dr.Julie Gammack,an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine at St.Louis University.They also seem to get less "REM"sleep,the type of sleep during which rapid eye movement occurs,Bloom added.It's unclear what role these naturally occurring changes in sleep patterns have on a person's quality of life,Bloom said."What is important,though,is that older people often have actual sleep disorders and problems with sleep,"hesaid.And,experts say,there is usually more than one cause."Sleep trouble in older adults is typically associated with acute and chronic illnesses,including specific sleep disorders like sleep apnea(呼吸暂停)and restless leg syndrome that appear with greater frequency in older populations,"said Michael V.Vitiello,a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and associate director of the University of Washington's Northwest Geriatric Education Center.Taking multiple medications,as many older people do,can also lead to fatigue and "hypersomnia,"or being tired all the time,Bloom added.Another big problem,he noted,is depression and anxiety."Those are very commonly associated with sleep problems."Despite the prevalence(流行)of sleep difficulties in older adults,many patients aren't getting the help they need.As a result,problems like insomnia(失眠),restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea are underdiagnosed and undertreated,Bloom said.1.Sleep problems can seriously affect one,s quality of life.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.It is true that older people need less sleep than younger people.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.Younger people in America seldom complain of sleep disorders.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.The number of older Americans with sleep problems is not small.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned5."Sleep fragmentation"refers to a marked lack of "REM"sleep.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.The causes of sleep problems in older people remain unidentified.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.Actions will soon be taken in America to better help people with sleep problems.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:ABCABBCHow to Choose the Perfect StrollerFor a newborn you have to decide whether you want a pram,a car-seat frame,a travel system or a convertible stroller.As a newborn needs to lie down for the first 4-5 months of its life,a pram seems to be the perfect solution because it's bassinet-like sleeping space,but after the baby can sit up you'll need a new stroller. A pram can be also quite large and expensive.A low-cost alternative can be the car seat frame that allows you to snap your infant car seat right on top. This foldable and lightweight frame can be easily stored in the truck of your car. However after the baby outgrows the infant car seat you'll have to buy a new stroller.The travel system could seem as the perfect solution for a stroller. It can be used from birth till the baby is 3 years old. This type of stroller allows you to keep the car seat on the stroller until your baby is old enough to sit up,and then remove it and seat your baby in the stroller itself. However it can be that this system is quite heavy and not so easy to fold and shove in the car truck.If you want to leave the car seat out of the equation you might,consider a convertible stroller as it can be your companion from the first days of your child's life till he is in the toddler stage. The seat of a convertible stroller can be folded back so your newborn can ride flat but as the baby grows you can fold it up and so he can also sit upright.If you are looking for a stroller for a baby that can sit upright,you might consider a lightweight stroller,a jogger or a standard stroller depending on your all day needs.Whichever type of stroller you choose you have to look up certain features like: stability,harness(five-point harness is best),height of the handles(adjustable handle heights might be a plus),folding type and size(in order to be able to shove it into your truck)16.A pram is the best stroller for a baby before it can sit uprightA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned正确答案:A解析:该题说的是:在婴儿能够坐起之前,卧式婴儿车是最好的选择。
2015职称英语考试卫生类A级阅读判断练习题Why is this man so angry? We don't know the reason, but we can see the emotion in his face. Whatever culture you come from, you can expressing.Forty years ago, psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California, San Francisco, became interested in how people's faces show their feelings. He took photographs of Americans expressing various emotions. Then he showed them to the Fore people, who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore had never seen foreign faces, but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, and surprise.Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse. He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans, and the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces. Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same everywhere. He did more research in Japan, Brazil, and Argentina, and got the same results.According to Ekman, these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains. They developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us. Some emotional triggers are universal as well. When something suddenly comes into sight, people feel fear, because it might be dangerous. But mostemotional triggers are learned. For example, two people might smell newly cut grass. One person spent wonderful summers in the country as a child, so the smell makes him happy. The other person remembers working very hard on a farm and being hungry, so he feels sad.Once we make an emotional asssociation in our brain,it is diffficult,and sometiomes impossible,to change it.”Emotions is the least changeable part of the brain,”says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our emotions better. For instance, we can be more aware of things that make us angry and we can think before we react.There are many differences between cultures, in their languages and customs. But a smile is exactly the same everywhere.16. Paul Ekman studies people's faces in different cultures.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17.

2015年职称英语卫生类考试阅读判断训练题Stomach ulcers are the cause of severe pain for many people. Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers. They could not cure them. Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers. This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain. Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their life. So a possible cure is good news for many people.Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears. These wounds can harm the tissue in the stomach, the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines. Fluids in the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer. How does a person know he or she has an ulcer? Doctors say most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chest or stomach. This pain often is called heart burn. It usually happens before eating or during the night. It causes some people to lose their desire to eat, or they are unable to keep food in their stomachs. Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach fluids, which damaged stomach tissue. Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pillorie. H Pillorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra stomach fluid. Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics. Health experts say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions ofdollars in medical costs. They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer. The number of people with stomach cancer is very high in Japan, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if his or her family has had one. In fact a person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other people. There are ways people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer. Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount of strong fluids in the stomach. To do this, doctors say, people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.1. In the past, doctors could not do anything about stomach ulcers.A. RightB. WrongC.

Osteoporosis and MenMention the word osteoporosis in the manly world of testosterone, professional basketball and the XFL, and you 're likely to get a wave of the hand and a dismissive "That 's a woman 's disease." Not so. More than 2 million American men have been found to have the thinning bones and skeletal weakness of osteoporosis, and an additional 3 million are at an increased risk of developing them.It's true that osteoporosis strikes women with much greater frequency than men - in some studies as much as four to six times as often. But that's no reason to brush it off as "their" disease. It's a mere stroke of gender luck that men's bones tend to grow larger, stronger and denser. Also paying dividends are those spots that boys (and, increasingly, girls) play as children - running up and down basketball courts, soccer and baseball fields. As it happens, physical activity is one of the more important ways to increase bone density and protect bone health.But even the most active men cannot ignore certain facts of life. All of us build up our bones during the first three decades of life, typically reaching peak bone mass in the early 30s. Around the age of 35, we begin gradually to lose some of this bone mass. Women ultimately give up between 30%. Though mass loss in men is lower, it still makes us vulnerable to back pains and bone fractures. In fact, this year aloneAmerican men will suffer as many as half a million osteoporosis-related breaks, mostly in the spine, hip and wrist. These are not only painful; thousands die each year from fracture-related plications.For many of us, however, there's still time. Of all the side effects of aging, osteoporosis is one of the more preventable, through diet, exercise and changes in lifestyle. The two key nutritional substances for bone health are calcium, which makes bones stronger, and vitamin D, which helps the body absorb the calcium.Exercising is also important, with emphasis on weight-bearing activities in which bones and muscles work against gravity. Lifting weights and working out on resistance machines can help preserve bone density.Be careful about what's in your medicine cabinet. Prolonged use of some medications, such as steroids, can weaken your bones. Smoking and drinking are both bad for bones, as is prolonged weightlessness, for anybody who plans to work on the space station.1 Men are justified in thinking that osteoporosis is a woman's disease.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 Most women also think that osteoporosis is a woman's disease.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 The kind of sport that boys often play as children is good for the build-up of their bones.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 You are prone to bone breaks if you suffer from osteoporosis.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 In general, men and women reach peak bone mass at the age of 35.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 Exercising is an important way to protect bone health.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 Weight loss is also bad for your bones.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned参考答案:1.

CEl NinoWhile some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in advance, the Columbia University researchers say their method can predictlarge El Nino events up to two years in advance. That would be good news for governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.Using a puter, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures. The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan C. Weare. a meteorologist at the University of California. Davis, who was not involved in the work, said it“suggests EL Nino is indeed predictable.”“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods,”said Weare. He added that the new method“makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times.”Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades, Weare said.The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance. The 1997 El Nino, for example, caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, England. The 1887 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China, prompting the development of seasonal forecasting. Anderson said.When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002 United Nations report.While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.El Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and years.The new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.练习:1.

Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it, Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events, We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the “goggle box”. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generation are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost, The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living room and turning on the set. It doesn’t mater that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or spectacles of sadism(性虐狂)and violence—so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world, Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work, That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programme, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in pre-literate munities (有文字之前的时期). We bee utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of munication: pictures and the spoken work.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We bee content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchair watching others working. Little by little“television”cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself, Television may be a splendid medium of munication, but it prevents us from municating with each other. We only bee aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization, In quiet natural surroundings we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic (催眠)tyranny of King Telly.16 This article is about the disadvantages of television.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 We often go outside for our amusements now.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 We rush home to be in time for a programme.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19“The one-eyed monster”refers to the TV set.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 One harm of telly is to consume quantities of creative work.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 This article implies that all the TV sets in the world should be destroyed.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Watching too much TV may not only results in the laziness but also the low ability to do things.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案:ABAAACACreating a World without SmokingSmoking will be banned in all pubs, clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the mons last night. After last-minute appeals from health campaigners, MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007,ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only. They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184, a surprisingly large majority of 200.Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes, such as prisons, care homes and hotels.Smokers lighting up in banned areas will faced fixed penalty notice of£50and spot fines of£200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs, with the possible penalty, if the issue goes to court, increasing to£1,000.Carpline Flint, the Public Health Minister, also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to£2, 500 more than ten times the £200 originally proposed.The bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes. Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.The bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary, said the Health Bill would ban smoking in "virtually every enclosed public place and workplace" in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places "will bee the norm".She said: "An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke."Peter Hollins, director-general of the British Heart Foundation, said: "The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people."16. h ban on smoking in all pubs, clubs and workplaces will begin in summer 2007.A.

CBill Gates: Unleashing Your CreativityI've always been an optimist and I suppose that is rootedin1 my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a puter for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky old Teletype machine and it could barely do anything pared to the puters we have today.2 But it changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of "a puter on every desk and in every home," which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most puters were the size of refrigerators. But we believed that personal puters would change the world. And they have.And after 30 years, I'm still as inspired by puters as I was back in seventh grade.I believe that puters are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness- to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own.puters have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. They're helping us build munities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.3Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do, He calls it "tap-dancing to work"4. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me "tap-dance to work" is when we show people something new, like a puter that can recognizeyour handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and they say, "I didn't know you could do that with a PC5!"But for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world6. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet7. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have mitted to8 improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than9 the death of a child anywhere else, and that it doesn't take much to make an immense difference in these children's lives10.I'm still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible—and it's happening every, day. We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.练习:1.

She was engrossed in her book but happened to see that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be, grabbed acookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gusty cookie thief diminished her stock.She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, "If I wasn't so nice, I would blacken his eye." With each cookie she took, he took one too. When only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other.She snatched it from him and thought.., oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he's also rude. Why he didn't even show any gratitude! She had never known when she had been so galled and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the ingrate thief.She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat. Then she sought her book, which was almost plete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise. There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.How many times in our lives have we absolutely known that something was a certain way, only to discover later that what we believed to be true...was not?1.A woman was waiting for her flight without lunch.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.A man appeared beside the woman and persuaded herto eat some cookies.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.The woman thought that the man was trying to steal some cookies form the bag.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.The man went away angrily as soon as he finished the last half of the cookie.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentionedd5.When the woman found her cookies again in her luggage, she felt so sorry for mistaking that man for a thief.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.Actually the man thought that the woman was homeless and had nothing to eat, so he shared his cookies with her.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.From the story we know that sometimes we may discover that the things we are almost certain about are not true.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:CBABACAStop Snoring -- Save Your RelationshipDo you find your day ruined because of your partner sleeping and snoring loudly beside you? Although you are trying to be the nicest partner that you are supposed to be, you can't help but be stressed at this situation. Obviously, you cannot get enough sleep because of the loud noise ing out of your partner's nose or is that his or her mouth? Every night, you just want to yell at him and say, "Stop snoring!"Yes, it can go from a simple annoyance to an actual break up. For one, you two will continuously argue about the fact theone with the snoring problem simple dismisses it as a normal sleeping disorder. But of course, since you are the one at the sour end receiving all these kinds of noises while you are trying to sleep, you can't help but argue incessantly which in some cases will eventually lead to a recurring misunderstanding and then to a final break-up.For the ones who cannot sleep because of the snoring issue, they will notice that they are often in a bad mood which affects their gusto for sex and their life in general as a couple.If you are the one snoring, then you better search for a snoring cure or means to at least lessen the noise. It is understandable that your partner can now easily bee aggravated given the fact the he or she cannot get the needed sleep especially if he or she still works during the day.Snoring has significant effects on your partner. Seeking medical advice is the best solution to this problem. It is a problem whether you accept it or not. And treatment is necessary in order for you to live life and sleep normally once again and stop snoring pletely. It can be a result of a bigger physical problem so you better have it looked at before dismissing it as normal.Snoring can be corrected. It should not be a lifetime condition. It can be indicative of a disease which is far more serious that you initially thought. To stop snoring, have it checked and better consult a specialist to seek proper advice on diet, snoring cure, exercise regimen or any other treatments available.16.Sometimes you cannot get enough sleep because your partner snores.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17.Snoring may finally lead to the break up of the relationship.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18.As a couple, bad sleep caused by snoring may affect their general life, but will not reduce their interests for sex.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19.If your partner cannot get the sleep needed for your snoring, he/she may easily get angry with you.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20.Medical treatment is the best solution to the snoring problem.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned21.Snoring is troublesome, but it never symbolizes an approaching disease.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned22.Every year, many couples divorce because of the conflict caused by snoring.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:AABAABCSleep Problems Plague the Older SetOlder Americans often have difficulty getting a good night’s rest. It’s a huge quality-of-life problem, experts say, because contrary to popular belief,seniors require about the same amount of sleep as younger adults.“Sleep problems and sleep disorders are not an inherent (固有的)part of aging,”said Dr. Harrison G. Bloom, an associate clinical professor of geriatrics (老年病学)and medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New YorkCity.“It’s pretty much of a myth that older people need less sleep than younger people.,’Yet, in a study published recently in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that more than half of older Americans have problems getting the sleep they need. Older people tend to have“sleep fragmentation,”meaning they wake up more often during the night, said study author Dr. Julie Gammack, an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine at St. Louis University.They also seem to get less“REM”sleep, the type of sleep during which rapid eye movement occurs, Bloom added.It's unclear what role these naturally occurring changes in sleep patterns have on a person's quality of life, Bloom said.“What is important, though, is that older people often have actual sleep disorders and problems with sleep,”he said. And, experts say, there is usually more than one cause.“Sleep trouble in older adults is typically associated with acute and chronic illnesses, including specific sleep disorders like sleep apnea (呼吸暂停)and restless leg syndrome that appear with greater frequency in older populations,”said Michael V. Vitiello, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and associate director of the University of Washington's Northwest Geriatric Education Center.Taking multiple medications, as many older people do, can also lead to fatigue and“hypersomnia,”or being tired all the time, Bloom added. Another big problem, he noted, is depression and anxiety.“Those are very monly associated with sleep problems.”Despite the prevalence (流行)of sleep difficulties in older。

Are You Getting Enough Sleep?What happens if you don’t get enough sleep?Randy Gardner,a high school student in the United States,wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessness for a school science project.With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for264hours and12minutes.That’s eleven days and nights without sleep.What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner?After24hours without sleep,Gardner started having trouble reading and watching television.The words and pictures were too blurry(模糊).By the third day,he was having trouble doing things with his hands.By the fourth day,Gardner was hallucinating(产生幻觉).For example,when he saw a feet sign,he thought it was a person.He also imagines he was a famous football player. After the next few days,Gardner’s speech became so slurred(不清楚)that people couldn’t understand him.He also had trouble remembering things.By the eleventh day,Gardner couldn’t pass a counting test.In the middle of the test he simply stopped. He couldn’t remember what he was doing.Then Gardner finally went to bed,he slept for14hours and45 minutes.The second day he slept twelve hours,the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours,and by the fourth night,he had returned to his normal sleep schedule.Though Gardner recovered quickly,scientists believe that going without sleep gerous.They say that people should not repeat Randy’s experiment.Tests on Gardner have shown how serious sleeplessness can be.After a few weeks without-started losing their fur(皮毛).And even though the rats ate more food than weight.Eventually the rats died.During your lifetime,you will probably spend25years or more sleeping.But why purpose of sleep?Surprisingly,scientists don’t know for sure.Some sleep in order to replenish(补充)brain cells.Other scientists think body to grow and to relieve stress.Whatever the reason,we know enough sleep.

What happens then?Nothing much,usually.But petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those whogovern to find out what the people really think.That's why the UK government launched its"e-petition"site in November2006.Instead ofphysically collecting signatures,all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal onthe government website,and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signature.The petitions soon started to flow in.The idea was for the British people to express theirconstructive ideas.Many chose instead to express their sense of humor.One petitioner called on Tony Blair to"stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much".Another wanted to expel(驱逐) Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish footballfans never support England in the World Cup.Other petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchy.Some wanted togive it more power.Some wanted to oppose the United States.Others wanted to leave theEuropean Union.Some wanted to send more troops to Iraq and others wanted them all broughthome.Some wanted to adopt the euro(欧元). Others wanted to keep the pound.Yet if some petitions are not serious,others present a direct challenge to government policy.A petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads hasalready drawn around1.8million signatures.In response to that,a rival petition has been postedin support of road pricing. And that is also rapidly growing.There are about60million people in Britain,so it is understandable that the governmentwants to find out what people are thinking.But the problem with the e-petition site seems to bethat the British people have about70million opinions, and want the Prime Minister to hear all ofthem.Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while.A petition needs to be signed.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17、The Prime Minister reads petitions every day.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18、A petition has to be mailed to the Prime Minister's house in London.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19、Petitions have been taken to be one of the ways for the British people to express their ideas.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20、No other governments have launched their e-petition sites.

A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentionedThe Threat to KiribatiThe people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future,their countrywill disappear from the face of the earth literally.Several times this year,the Pacific islandnation has been flooded by a sudden high tide.These tides,which swept across the island anddestroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain."This never happened before,"say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides?The answer may well be global warming.When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants(污染物)are released;thesepollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere.Warmer temperatures cause water to expand andalso create more water by melting glaciers(冰川)and polar(极地的)ice caps.If the trend continues,scientists say,many countries will suffer,Bangladesh,for example,might lose one-fifth of its land.The coral(珊瑚)island nations of the Pacific,like Kiribati andthe Marshall Islands,however,would face an even worse fate--they would be swallowed bythe sea.The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss.Coral formations are home tomore species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated.The sea,on which their economies have alwaysbeen based,is suddenly threatening their existence.They don't have the money for expensivetechnological solutions like seawalls.And they have no control over the pollutants,which arebeing released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries.All they cando is to hopethat industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.The people of Kiribati worry that one day their country will be taken away by a sudden high tide.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17、High tides used to attack Kiribati when there was strong wind or heavy rain.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18、The heat released by burning oil and coal is the direct cause of global warming.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19、Scientists are not sure how serious the effects of global warming will be.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20、The coral island nations of the Pacific have a long history of civilization,A.RightB.WrongC.Not menttioned21、The people of the coral island nations are unable to do anything substantial about the problem of global warming.

George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city, about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises (加工资) for his workers Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about.

Before the widespread use of computers,managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company's activities.The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used.Today,managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments.In place of a few financial controls,managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company.On any kinds of performance measures,the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results,find out problems,and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies.Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales,billing,and other activities.In large companies,electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.Now,there are about24million microcomputers in use in the United States——one for every10citizens.It is estimated that by1996,61percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station.In order for managers to be sure thatthe computer-based information they are receiving is accurate,they need to understand how computers work.However,in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers.Rather,managers should understand how computerized information systems work;how they are developed;their limitations and costs;and the manner in which information systems may be used.Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.16.Today,conventional financial controls are still exercised in some minor areas such as billing and vocational training.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17.It is unnecessary for a neighborhood baker to use a computer in his shopA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18.At present about10%of American citizens possess a microcomputer.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19.One thing that managers do not have to understand is howcomputers work.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20.In some cases managers have to learn how to write programs so as to work out computerized information systems that suit their own companies best.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentionedputerized firms would rather employ business graduates than computer science graduates because it is easier to train the former into qualified employees.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案:16.A17.B18.B19.A20.B21.CStudents'EyesightLeonard Turkel couldn't believe his ears when he learned what happened to the results of eye screenings of thousands of Miami-Dade County public school students.Although the tests are mandated by the state,the businessman-turned-philanthropist discovered that nobody was actually using the scores to ensure that kids could see the blackboard in class.Today,a sight-laboratory-in-a-bus financed by Turkel pulls up to schools in low-income areas,not only providing eyesighttests for children but also ensuring that glasses,when needed,are made and delivered within days—all for free.It was in the mid-1990s that Turkel started the sight program almost by chance.Important in opening a primary care center in the low-income Miami community of Overtown,Turkel said he was told that the eye screening he was planning for children was already being done by the school system.But then he learned that the results of school screenings—to be performed several times during a child's schooling,along with tests for hearing and scoliosis—were essentially sitting in drawers.The school system could tell anybody who asked how many kids had failed sight screenings,but nobody was getting the kids help.Turkel decided to change that."Once the kids who need help are identified,there had to be a way to go to the schools and provide them with whatever they needed,"said Turkel,president of the Miami-based nonprofit Turkel Resource Foundation and co-founder of the University of Miami business school's Center for Nonprofit Management. The program,which at its height has served about6,000students a year,has faced financial obstacles but is operating today under a new grant and with the help of14organizations.All schools in the360,000-student system are now covered by theprogram.1.Leonard Turkel felt surprised at the results of eye screenings of the studentsA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.Leonard Turkel used to be a philanthropist,but now he has turned a businessmanA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.A sight-laboratory-in-a-bus provides poor areas with eyesight tests and glasses for freeA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.In the mid-1990s,Turkel found no organization was doing eyesight screening for the students,so he started his planA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned5.Much was done by school to help the students who had bad hearing and scoliosis test resultsA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.Turkel Resource Foundation provides free service to the school kids who need help and makes a lot of money from the foreign trade with other countriesA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.The students from all schools add up to360,000A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:ABABBBAPlants in DeserOnly special plants can survive the terrible climate of a desert,for these are regions where the annual range of the soil temperature can be over75℃.Furthermore,during the summer there are few clouds in the sky to protect plants from the sun's ray.Another problem is the fact that there are frequently strong winds which drive small,sharp particles of sand into the plants,tearing and damaging them.The most difficult problem for all forms of plant life,however,is the fact that the entire annual rainfall occurs during a few days or weeks in spring. Grasses and flowers in desert survive from one year to the next by existing through the long,hot,dry season in the form of seeds.These seeds remain inactive unless the right amount of rain falls.If no rain falls,or if insufficient rain falls,they wait until the next year,or even still the next.Another factor that helps these plants to survive is the fact that their life cycles are short.By the time that water from the spring rains disappears——just a few weeks after it falls-such plants no longer need any.The perennials have special features which enable them to survive as plants for several years.Thus,nearly all desertperennials have extensive root systems below ground and a small shoot system above ground.The large root network enables the plant to absorb as much water as possible in a short time.The small shoot system,on the other hand,considerably limits water loss by evaporation.Another feature of many desert perennials is that after the rainy season they lose their leaves in preparation for the long,dry season,just as trees in wetter climates lose theirs in preparation for the winter.This reduces their water loss by evaporation during the dry season.Then,in next rainy season,they come fully alive once more,and grow new branches,leaves and flowers,just as the grasses and flowers in desert do.练习:1.Ordinary plants are unable to survive in the desert mainly because of the changeable weather.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.Grasses and flowers in desert are able to survive because they stay in the form of seeds to wait for the right amount of water to come.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.Grasses and flowers in the desert whose life cycles are shortshows their ability to adapt to the quick disappearance of rainwater there after it falls in spring.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.Winter is the toughest season for grasses and flowers to survive.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned5.The shoot system of perennials can help the plants absorb less of the sun's ray.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.The theme of the second last paragraph is why the perennials can survive as plants for several years.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.Desert perennials lose their leaves after the rainy season just lose theirs in wetter climates before winter arrives,but the reasons for this feature are different.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案:BABCAABLoss or GainWhen my

this?"I said."Just a mastectomy and the loss of an arm."It was about thirty-five years ago.Then,about twenty-five years ago,I went through another very difficult time.Job loss,loss of a relationship.You know,"Loss,loss,and loss."I went to a counselor,Ray Chapman who took me through a grieving process,because I had never grieved the loss of my athletic career,the loss of my physical wholeness,any losses,and he said that goodness could come out of this.After my second meeting with Ray Chapman,I got a job as a mechanic,and I became kind of famous.I was the"One Armed Mechanic,"installing engines and such.It really came back to me then that had I not gone through the cancer,I wouldn't have become a mechanic and later a hot racer.I also later met a wonderful woman with whom I had a ten-year relationship which led to the birth of my son.I found that for me,goodness and beauty have come out of deformity.I still use the words ugliness and crippledness.My friends try to tell me that I am not crippled.But what they don't understand is that I am,and what I have done is in spite of what's been done to me.I try to remind them that we're allcrippled in some way.I say,"I can't see what cripples you.I can't see what you've been through.I have an advantage over you,because I see it every day."1.The writer was once a basketball playerA.RightB.WrongC.Not

similar influenza epidemic in the past.Starting its rounds at the end of World War I,the1918flu killed an estimated 50million people.Popularly known as the Spanish Flu,this type of influenza was far worse than your common cold.Normally,influenza only killsthose who are more vulnerable to disease,such as newborns,the old or the sick.However,the Spanish Flu was prone to killing the young and healthy.Often it would disable its victims in hours;within a day,they would be dead,typically from extreme cases of pneumonia.The Spanish Flu was quite nasty-fast-spreading and deadly.It managed to spread across the globe,devastating the world.Then suddenly,after two years ravaging the Earth,it disappeared as quickly as it had arisen.Despite its nickname,the Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain.Its true origins are unknown.Some believe it started in US forts and then spread to Europe as America joined the war;others think that it populated the trenches of the English and the French and eventually broke out in1918.Regardless of where it started,eventually a fifth of the world population suffered the disease,with a global mortality rate estimated at 2.5%of the population.Modernity was partly to blame for the quick spread of the disease.It passed throughout the world on trade routes and shipping lines.It hit Northern America,Europe,Asia,Africa and the South Pacific.The war did not help at all-the movement of supplies and troops aided the spread of the Spanish Flu,as wellas the trench warfare.Imagine the speed at which a virus can spread in a crowded ditch.The fast emergence of the virus in the trenches caused some soldiers to believe that the Spanish Flu was a new form of biological warfare.Luckily,the Spanish Flu simply vanished by1920.It is believed the flu simply ran out

第十一篇Disease I Diagnosis, Treatment and PreventionDisease may be defined as the abnormal state in which part or all of the body is not properly adjusted or is not capable of carrying on1 all its required functions. There are marked variations in the extent of the disease and in its effect on the person.In order to treat a disease, the doctor obviously must first determine the nature of the illness —that is, make a diagnosis2. A diagnosis is the conclusion drawn from a number of facts put together. The doctor must know the symptoms, which are the changes in body function felt by the patient; and the signs (also called objective symptoms) which the doctor himself can observe. Sometimes a characteristic group of signs (or symptoms) accompanied a given disease. Such a group is called a syndrome. Frequently certain laboratory tests are performed and the results evaluated3 by the physician in making his diagnosis.Although nurses do not diagnose, they play an extremely valuable role in this process by observing closely for signs, encouraging the patient to talk about himself and his symptoms, and then reporting this information to the doctor. Once the patient‘s d isorder is known, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment, also referred to as therapy4. Many measures in this course of treatment are carried out by the nurse under the physician‘s orders.In recent years physicians, nurses and other health workers have taken on increasing responsibilities in prevention5. Throughout most of medical history, the physician‘s aim has been to cure a patient of an existing disease6. However, the modern concept of prevention seeks to stop disease before it actually happens — to keep people well through the promotion of health. A vast number of organizations exist for this purpose, ranging from the World Health Organization (WHO) on an international level down to local private and community health programs7. A rapidly growing responsibility of the nursing profession is educating individual patients toward the maintenance of total health — physical and mental.词汇:marked / mɑ:kt/ adj.显着的syndrome /'sɪndrəʊm/ n. 综合征,症候群symptom /'sɪmptəm/ n.症候,症状therapy /'θerəpɪ/ n.疗法,治疗sign /saɪn/ n. 病体;体征注释:1.carry sth. on:继续;进行;维持下去2.make a diagnosis:做出诊断3....the results evaluated…:此句中在evaluated之前省略了与前面are performed相同的助动词are。

职称英语考试卫生类阅读模拟试题2015职称英语考试卫生类阅读模拟试题A new experimental vaccine (疫苗) has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer.In a small Texas-based study, a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas, USA, cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small study.Forty-three patients suffering from lung cancer were involved in these trials.Ten of these patients were in the early stages and thirty-three in the advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months, and were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer, the disease disappeared and in the others, it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However, no great difference was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.This new vaccin e uses the patients’ own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.It stimulates the body's immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful, and attacks and destroys them.The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer.It offers great hope for the treatment of cancer in general, although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.16.The vaccine cured all the participants in the trial.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17.Over forty people participated in the study.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18.Patients in the early stages of the disease recovered more quickly in the trial.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19.All the patients were from Dallas.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned20.Every patient was injected with the same vaccine.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned21.The vaccine activates the immune system.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned22.The vaccine may be useful for treating other cancers.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案:BABCBAA【2015职称英语考试卫生类阅读模拟试题】。

Paying the doctor's bill after a major illness or accident can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.In the US,a person's company,not the government,pays for health insurance.Employers have contracts with insurance companies,which pay for all or part of employees'doctors'bills.The amount that the insurance company will pay out to a patient differs wildly.It all depends on what insurance the employer pays.The less the boss pays to the insurance company, the more the employee has to pay the hospital each time he or she gets sick.In2004,the average worker paid an extra US$558 a year,according to a San Francisco report.The system also means many Americans fall through the cracks(遭遗漏).In2004,only61per cent of the population received health insurance through their employers,according to the report.The unemployed,self-employed,part-time workers and graduated students with no jobs were not included.Most US university students have a gap between their last day of school and their first day on the job.Often,they areno longer protected by their parents'insurance because they are now considered independent adults.They also cannot buy university health insurance because they are no longer students.Another group that falls through the gap of the US system is international students.All are required to have health insurance and cannot begin their classes without it.But exact policies(保险单)differ from school to school.Most universities work with health insurance companies and sell their own standard plan for students Often,buying the school plan is required,but luckily it's also cheaper than buying direct from the insurance company.1In the US,a person's company buys him or her health insurance.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2All employees in the US have the same kind of health insurance.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3In2004,most of the unemployed in the US were women.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4In the US,graduated students with no jobs can buy university health insurance.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5All international students in the US have to buy health insurance.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6The international students in the US work harder than the American students.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7The health care system in the US takes care of everyone in the country.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned参考答案:1.A2.B3.C4.B5.A6.C7.BAs many as20%of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder2called dyslexia. Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and scientists.Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than80years ago.Many years passed beforedoctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left side of the brain3——the part that controls language is larger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger.Doctors are not sure what causes this difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed4.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia.Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.1.One out of five American children suffers from dyslexia.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.Many great thinkers and scientists in the world are dyslexic.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.The first

mentioned参考答案:A、C、A、B、A、C、ABefore the widespread use of computers,managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company's activities.The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used.Today, managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments.In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company.On any kindsof performance measures,the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems,and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies.Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing,and other activities.In large companies,electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.Now,there are about24million microcomputers in use in the United States——one for every10citizens.It is estimated that by1996,61percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station.In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate,they need to understand how computers work.However,in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers.Rather,managers should understand how computerized information systems work;how they are developed;their limitations and costs;and the manner in which information systems may be used.Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.1Today,conventional financial controls are still exercised in some minor areas such as billing and vocational training.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2It is unnecessary for a neighborhood baker to use a computer in his shopA RightB WrongC Not mentioned3At present about10%of American citizens possess a microcomputer.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4One thing that managers do not have to understand is how computers work.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5In some cases managers have to learn how to write programs so as to work out computerized information systems that suit their own companies best.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6Computerized firms would rather employ businessgraduates than computer science graduates because it is easier to train the former into qualified employees.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned参考答案:1.A2.B3.B4.A5.B6.CScientists are planning to use human immunodeficiency(免疫缺陷)virus(HIV),one of mankind's most feared viruses,as a carrier of genes which can fight cancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured.The expels say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body's immune(免疫的)defenses,making it ideal for carrying replacement genes into patients'bodies,according to the ObservefA team at the California-based Salk Institute,one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences,has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)to begin clinical gene therapy(治疗)trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have"far wider applications".The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since itinvolves making use of a virus which has caused more than22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades.Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was"shocking''but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient's body fails to work properly.In the past two years,breakthroughs in genetics(遗传学)have led gene therapy scientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately.the body's immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.The HIV virus has the ability to escape frOm。
