The Doctor in America
Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit have been the norm for American medical practice.Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in their community.They refer their patients as needed to the hospital,which usually charges according to the number of days a patient stays and the facilities-X-rays,operating rooms,tests he or she uses.
Some medical doctors are on salary.Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members,or residents,who are often still in training.They may teach in medical schools,be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal government’s Public Health Service.
Physicians are among the best—paid professionals in the United States.In the 1980s,it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than$100,000 a year.Specialists, particularly surgeons,might earn several times that amount.Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States.Most would—be physicians first attend college for four years,which Can cost nearly$20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions.Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years.Tuition alone Call exceed$10,000 a year.By me time they have obtained their medical degrees,many young physicians are deeply in debt.They still face three to five years of residency(住院醫(yī)生實(shí)習(xí)期) in a hospital,the first year as an apprentice physician.The hours are long and the pay IS relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive,too.Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice,so they Can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment.These physicians also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures.even quite routine ones,involve risk.It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which Can mean the difference between life and death.

Understanding Autism
1.Autism(孤獨(dú)癥)is a life-long developmental disability that prevents individuals from properly understanding what they see.hear,and otherwise sense.This results in severe problems of social relationships,communication,and behavior.Individuals with autism have to painstakingly(費(fèi)力地)learn normal patterns of speech and communication,and appropriate ways to relate to people,objects,and events,in a similar manner to those who have had a stroke.
2.The cause of autism is still unknown. Some research suggests a physical problem affecting those parts of the brain that process language and information coming in from the senses. There may be some imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain.Genetic(遺傳的)factors may sometimes be involved.Autism may indeed result from a combination of several “causes”.
3.Most people with mental retardation(智力遲鈍的)show relatively even skill development. Individuals with autism,however,typically show uneven skill development,with deficits (欠缺)in certain areas—most frequently in their ability to communicate and relate to others————and distinct skills in other areas.It is important to distinguish autism from mental
retardation or other disorders,since diagnostic(診斷的)confusion may lead to inappropriate and ineffective treatment techniques.
4.In general,individuals with autism perform best at jobs which are structured and involve a degree of repetition.Some people who have autism are working as artists,piano tuners,painters,farm workers,office workers,computer operators,dishwashers,assembly line workers,or employees of sheltered workshops or other sheltered work settings.

Making Light of Sleep
All we have a clock located inside our brains.Similar to your bedside alarm clock,your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle.This cycle,called a circadian(晝夜節(jié)奏的,生理節(jié)奏的)rhythm,helps control when you wake,when you eat and when you sleep.
Somewhere around puberty(青春期),something happens in the timing of the biological clock.The clock pushes forward,so adolescents(青少年的)and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used t0.When your mother tells you it’s time for bed,your body may be pushing you to stay up for several hours more.And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.
This shift is natural for teenagers.But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body’s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark.It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems,too.Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they don’t get enough sleep,says Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence,Rl 7.It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.
But just like your alarm clock,your internal clock can be reset.In fact,it automatically resets itself every day.How?By using the light it gets through your eyes.
Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks.For years,researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body’s clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.
But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems.One system allows us to see.The second system tells our body whether it’s day or night.
根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容,回答31-45題。
The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because______.
A.it controls when we wake,when we eat and when we sleep

C.Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescents.
D.Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer Screen.
33、In the third paragraph the author wants to tell the reader that______.
A.it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up late
B.staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers’ability to think and learn
C.during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloud
D.it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning
34、Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?
A.Our biological clock resets itself automatically.
B.light gets through our eyes and resets our biological clock.
C.Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically.

C.The human eye could sense the light of day more quickly than the dark of night.
D.The human eye could reset our internal clocks in accordance with the alarm clocks

Walking to Exercise the Brain
Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your grades?Think again. Getting some exercise may help,too.
New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn’t exercise.
Previous research had shown that mice learn,remember,and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel.Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don’t.Their brain cells also make more connections.
Neuroscientists from the University at Urbana—-Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for people.First,they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults,ages 58 to 77, after each person walked 1 mile.Then,participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.
Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task,and their answers were just as ac curate as their less—fit peers.the researchers found.The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions.
In a second study,15 elderly people who completed a 6-month aerobic-training course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning exercises for the same amount of time.
So,even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help.That should be good news for your grandparents.
The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven’t been studied yet.Still,it can’t hurt to take occasional study breaks and go for a walk or run around with your friends.You might even do better in school.
Whatever you do,though,don’t try to read and walk at the same time.You could end up hurting yourself!

Look After Your Voice
Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water.You Can solve the problem by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.
Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that you are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech.You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you call do is to rest your voice.If you need to see a doctor,perhaps you Can get some advice from a professional singer.In the meantime,do not even talk in a low voice.

A Doctor in the House
Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away.But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish,it will make the rest of your body healthy too. (46) It is one of many gadgets(小裝置) proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York—others include a pair of glasses that help to jog your memory,and a home camera designed to check for cancer.
The devices seem fanciful,but the basic principles are simple.The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and SO seek treatment far earlier than normal. (47) In the long run,the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives.
Intelligent bandages(繃帶)are a good example.Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine which antibiotics(抗生素)would work best.(48) .
Socks are long overdue for a makeover.In the future they will be able to automatically detect the amount of pressure in your foot and alert you when an ulcer(潰瘍)is coming up.
All the projects should have far—reaching implications,but the biggest single development is a melanoma(黑瘤)monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. (49) .If a problem is found,the system would advise you to get a check—up at your doctor’s surgery.
if all this sounds troublesome,then help is at hand. (50) .A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which would calm your nerves.
A.The device could be used to take a picture of your body each week,then compare it with previous images.
B.That is going to be the difficult part.
C.The cut could then be treated instantly so voiding possible complications.
D.Experts are also working on a“digital doctor”,completing it with a comforting bedside manner.
E.Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals,the emphasis is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets.
F.A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in USA.

Exercise Cuts Cancer Deaths in Men
Men who exercise often are less likely to die from cancer than those who 51 ,new research published in the British Journal of Cancer revealed yesterday.
A team of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden looked 52 the effect of physical activity,and cancer risk in 40,708 men aged 53 45 and 79.
The seven-year study found that men 54 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower 55 of dying from.cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. 56 the period studied,3,714 men developed cancer and l,153 died from the disease.The researchers suggest that half all hour’s walking 57 cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent.
The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of 58 activity they were usually doing.They then scored these responses and compared the results with data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry(登記簿)over a seven—year 59 .Lead author,Professor Alicja Wolk,said: “These results clearly show for the first time the effect that very simple and basic daily 60 such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle—aged and elderly 61 .”
Dr.Lesley Walker.director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK.said:“This study gives US a clear indication that men who exercise are less 62 to die from cancer,and that they are more likely to 63 the disease if they get it.It’S not entirely clear from this study what role exercise plays in preventing 64 in men,but we do know that a healthy lifestyle Can prevent up to half of all cancers—and 65 exercise forms a key part of this.”
