听力原文: In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. "As I talked to them, 1 was amazed". she said, "All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people". This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients' situation. Doctor Myer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.

Questions:

What did the child's family members argue about in the hospital?

What does Doctor Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?

What does the speaker say about human speech?

(30)

A.Whether they should take the child home.

B.What Dr. Myer's instructions exactly were.

C.Who should take care of the child at home.

D.When the child would completely recover.

Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ Scores

Young adults who are fit, have a higher IQ and are more likely to go on to university, reveals a major new study __________ (51) out at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

The results were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The study __________ (52) 1.2 million Swedish men doing military service who were born between 1950 and 1976. The research group analyses the __________ (53) of both physical and IQ tests the youngsters took right after they started serving the army.

The study shows a clear link __________ (54) good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test. The strongest links are for __________ (55) thinking and verbal comprehension. But it is only fitness that plays a __________ (56) in the results for the IQ test, and not strength. "Being fit means that you also have good heart and lung __________ (57) and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen," says Michael Nilsson, professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy and chief physician at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. "This may be one of the reasons why we can see a clear link with fitness, but not with muscular __________ (58). We are also seeing that there are growth factors that are important."

By analyzing data for twins, the researchers have been __________ (59) to determine that it is primarily environmental factors and not genes that __________ (60) the link between fitness and a higher IQ.

"We have also shown that those youngsters who __________ (61) their physical fitness

between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance," says Maria Aberg,researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy and physician at Aby health centre. "This being the case,physical education is a __________ (62) that has an important place in schools, and is an absolute must __________ (63) we want to do well in maths and other theoretical subjects."

请根据短文的内容,回答题。

Easy Death

In ancient Greek, the term euthanatos meant "easy death". Today euthanasia (安乐死)generally refers to mercy killing, the voluntary (自愿) ending of the life of someone who is terminally ill. Like abortion, euthanasia has become a legal, medical, and moral issue over which opinion is divided.<br>

Euthanasia can be either active or passive. Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in death, such as giving an overdose of deadly medicine. Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment, or stopping the treatment that has begun. Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patients off a breathing machine or removing other life-support systems. Stopping the food supply is also considered passive.<br>

A good deal of the debate about mercy killing originates from the decision-making process.<br>

Who decides whether a patient is to die? This issue has not been solved legally in the United States.<br>

The matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in charge to suggest the option of death to a patient&39;s relatives, especially if the patient is brain dead. In an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally ill patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device, developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end their lives.<br>

In parts of Europe, the decision-making process has become very flexible. Even in cases where the patients are not brain dead, patients have been put to death without their approval at the request of relatives or at the suggestion of physicians. Many cases of passive euthanasia involve old people or newbom infants. The principle justifying this practice is that such individuals have a "life not worthy of life".<br>

In countries where passive euthanasia is not legal, the court systems have proved very tolerant in dealing with medical personnel who practice it. In Japan, for example, if physicians follow certain guidelines they may actively carry out mercy killings on hopelessly ill people. Courts have also been somewhat tolerant of friends or relatives who have assisted terminally ill patients to die.

A terminally ill patient is one who __________. 查看材料

A.gets worse every day

B.can never get well again

C.is very seriously ill in the end

D.is too ill to want to live on

Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard, they also relax just as well.Numerous v
acations help the couple to maintain their health and emotional well­being­­and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.

“Rest, relaxation, and stress reduction are very important for people’s well­being and health. This can be accomplished through daily activities, such as exercise and meditation, but vacation is an important part of this as well, ” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York. Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing,so a rested,relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better, ” said Withers.

Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great, ” said Francine Lederer, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation,even if it is a 24­hour time­out.” The trips could be good for their health, good for their family and good for their businesses.

The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010, and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them. France topped the list, with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them. Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued, but that’s not always good for the individual, the family or the employer.

Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this,the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker, making it actually more difficult to shift into less­stressed states, ” Mulhern said.

The wonders which medical workers have already brought about in the diagnosis and treatmen
t of disease suggest that a time may come when the physician will be able to analyze most illnesses as soon as they start, and cure them before damage results. How soon this "golden age of healing" arrives will depend greatly on how close is the collaboration between research workers in medicine and those who Work in the sciences on which medicine depends. The physician has long relied on the chemist for curative drugs and on the physicist for diagnostic instruments and healing rays. In the one field new materials and in the other new devices are being produced in increasing numbers, helping to make imminent new miracles of medicine.

The X-ray and the microscope (显微镜) have extended the vision of the medical observer until he can see through ten inches of living flesh or into a single tissue cell (细胞组织), yet similar but much more powerful tools still await development. Modem electrical devices enable him to listen to faint murmuring of the life processes, or to measure feeble currents arising from heart and brain and nerve; yet electrical body measurements are but little understood. Now newly discovered atomic rays are being brought to help him destroy malignant invaders of the human system, and there is every reason to believe that even more curative rays await discovery.

It can be inferred from the opening sentence of the first paragraph that medical workers______.

A.have contributed little to the diagnosis and treatment of disease

B.have their expectations too high

C.have made remarkable progress in the diagnosis and treatment of disease

D.have developed their potential to the full

"Humans should not to try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exer
cise", said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here is the question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you're able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.

In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they stress that you can manage also boost immune (免疫的) function, in a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences: in the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test; in the second, subjects through a gory (血淋淋的)video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that is the body's first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.

Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short busts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. "They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into shortage," says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.

"Sustained stress is not good for you," says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity, "It is the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective."

The passage is mainly about ______.

A.the benefits of manageable stress

B.how to avoid stress

C.how to cope with stress effectively

D.the effect of stress harmonies on memory
