Ebola Outbreak
1 You are likely aware that several countries in West Africa are battling anEbola outbreak. Ebola is a dangerous and often lethal viral infection.Scientists believe that humans contracted the virus by eating the meal of rareanimals. It is now believed that bats are the primary carries of the virus.
2 To date, there are only three major countries in West Africa experiencing amajor outbreak: Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. However, other countries suchas Nigeria have reported confirmed cases of Ebola within their borders.
3 Unless you recently visited one of the three affected West countries, yourrisk of contracting the virus is virtually zero. Unlike other recent airbornevirus outbreaks like SARS, the Ebola virus can only be spread through directcontact with an infected person. Specifically, Ebola is spread through contactwith body fluids. Though, the virus is transmittable，only an infected personexhibiting symptoms is communicable.
4 The signs and symptoms of Ebola are non-specific and patients typicallyexhibit them after a week of contracting the virus. Symptoms may appear as earlyas two days or as late as three weeks after initial infection. Symptoms includedisgust, weakness and stomach pain. More uncommon symptoms include chest pain,bleeding and sore throat.
5 Ebola is devastating because of its ability to attack and replicate inevery organ of the body. This causes an overstimulation of the body，sinflammatory response, causing the flu-like symptoms. The virus also causesbleeding and impairs the body's normal clotting mechanism (凝血机制)，making bleedingeven more severe. Loss of blood volume and decreased organ perfusion(器官灌注)ultimately lead to organ failure and death.
6 The current outbreak is the deadliest viral outbreak in over 35 years.While diseases such as the malaria (疱疾)are far more communicable, Ebola is oneof the world’s most fatal viral infections. Ebola’s fatality rate exceeds thatof SARS.

第一篇 More American Getting High Blood Pressure
The number of Americans with high blood pressure is on the rise thanks inlarge part to growing rates of obesity (过度月巴胖)，researchers said on Tuesday.
But increasing numbers of those with high blood pressure, also calledhypertension are getting the condition treated, researchers from the USgovernment’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) wrote in the journalHypertention.
High blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney(Jff) failure. It is sometimes called the “silent killer” because it has nosymptoms, and many people have it for years without knowing it.
Data spanning six years through 2004 showed that 29 percent of US adults hadhigh blood pressure, compared to 24 percent in the six-year period ending in1994，the researchers said.
“The percentage of the population with high blood pressure is going the wrongway ---it’s increasing，” Dr. Jeffrey Cutler of the NIH’s National Heart, Lung,and Blood Institute said in a telephone interview.
Some of the leading factors behind high blood pressure include being obese oroverweight, not getting regular physical activity, smoking and too much salt inthe diet.
The study showed blacks continued to have higher rates of high blood pressurethan whites.
During the 1999-2004 period, 61 percent of those with high blood pressurewere undergoing treatment for it and 35 percent had their blood pressure undercontrol, the researchers said. A number of different drugs are used to treathypertension.
The finding were based on data on a nationally representative sample of16,351 US adults for 1988- 1994 and 14,430 adults for 1999-2004.
31 The number of Americans with hypertension is A ? smaller than before
A. the same as before
B. greater than before
C. hard to calculate
32. Hypertension may lead to
A. stroke

C. kidney failure
D. all of the above
33. Hypertension is sometimes called the “silent killer” because
A. its causes remain unknown
B. it often has no symptoms
C. it’s a lifelong condition
D. it9s treated secretly.
34. Twenty-nine percent of US adults had hypertension
A. during the 1999-2004 period
B. during the 1988-2004 period
C during the 1994-1999 period
D. during the 1988-1994 period
35. which of the following is NOT a likely cause of hypertension?
A.Constant smoking
B. Obesity or overweight
C. Regular physical activity.

Dangers Await Babies with Altitude
Women who live in the world’s highest communities tend to give birth tounder-weight babies, a new study suggests. These babies may grow into adultswith a high risk of heart disease and strokes.
Research has hinted that newborns in mountain communities are lighter thanaverage. But it wasn’t clear whether this is due to reduced oxygen levels athigh altitude or because their mothers are undernourished —many people who liveat high altitudes are relatively poor compared with those living lower down.
To find out more，Dino Giussani and his team at Cambridge University studiedthe records of 400 births in Bolivia during 1997 and 1998. The babies were bomin both rich and poor areas of two cities: La Paz and Santa Cruz. La Paz is thehighest city in the world, at 3.65 kilometers above sea level, while Santa Cruzis much lower, at 0.44 kilometers.
Sure enough, Giussani found that the average birth weight of babies in La Pazwas significantly lower than in Santa Cruz. This was true in both high andlow-income families. Even babies bom to poor families in Santa Cruz were heavieron average than babies bom to wealthy families in lofty La Paz. “We were verysurprised by this result，，，says Giussani.
The results suggest that babies bom at high altitude are deprived of oxygenbefore birth. “This may trigger the release or suppression of hormones thatregulate growth of the unborn child, “says Giussani.
His team also found that high-altitude babies tended to have relativelylarger heads compared with their bodies. This is probably because a fetusstarved of oxygen will send oxygenated blood to the brain in preference to therest of the body.
Giussani wants to find out if such babies have a higher risk of disease inlater life. People bom in La Paz might be prone to heart trouble in adulthood,for example. Low birth weight is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Andnewborns with a high ratio of head size to body weight are often predisposed tohigh blood pressure and strokes in later life.
32. What does the new study discover?
A. Babies bom to wealthy families are heavier
B. Women living at high altitudes tend to give birth to underweightbabies
C. Newborns in cities are lighter than average
D. Low-altitude babies have a high risk of heart disease in later life
33. Giussan and his team are sure that
A. babies bom in La Paz are on average lighter than in Santa Cruz
B. people living in La Paz are poorer than those in Santa Cruz
C. the birth weight of babies bom to wealthy families is above average
D. mothers in La Paz are commonly under-nourished
34. It can be inferred from what Giussan says in Paragraph 4 that
A. he was very tired
B. the study took longer than expected
C. the finding was unexpected
D. he was surprised to find low-income families in La Paz
35. The results of the study indicate the reason for the birth of underweightbabies is
A. lack of certain nutrition B ? reduction of oxygen levels
A. poverty of their mothers D ? different family backgrounds 40 ? It can belearnt from the last paragraph that
A. underweight babies have a shorter life span
B. babies bom to poor families lack certain hormones before birth.
C. high-altitude babies tend to have high blood pressure in their laterlife
D. newborns in wealthy families have larger heads compared with theirbodies.
第三篇 New US Plan for Disease Prevention
Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health, Health and HumanServices Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $ 15 million program totry to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heartdisease, cancer and diabetess (糖尿病)?
The initiative (倡议)highlights the cost of chronic disease^the leading causesof death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and increased exercise.
“In the United States today，7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of seriousillness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases，，，theHealth and Human Services Department said in a statement. The causes are oftenbehavioral—smoking, poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.
“I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smartpolicy choice for our future,55 Thompson told a conference held to launch theinitiative. “Our current health care system is not structured to deal with therising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changesin our lifestyle choices.”
Thompson said heart disease and stroke will cost the country more than $351billion in 2003. “These leading causes of death for men and women are largelypreventable, yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for us tolead healthier, longer lives，” he said.
The $ 15 million is scheduled to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walkmore. Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart diseaseand diabetes, and prevent cancer and strokes.
The money will also go to community organizations, clinics and nutritionists(营养学家)who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk ofdiabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancerscreening.
The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caughtby screening. If such cancers were all caught by early screening, the Societyestimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.
41. The $15 million program is aimed at
A. promoting disease prevention
B. building more sidewalks
C. helping needy communities
D. wiping out chronic diseases
42. Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?
A. They often result in unhealthy lifestyles.
B. They account for 70% of all deaths.
C. They are responsible for most of the health care costs.
D. They are largely preventable
43 The author mentions all the following as ways of disease preventionEXCEPT
A. better diet
B. daily screening
C. more exercise
D. reduction on smoking
44. The passage indicates that more money spent on disease prevention willmean
A. greater responsibility of the government
B. less money needed for disease treatment
C. higher costs of health care
D. more lifestyle choices for people
45. Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly
A. the death rates for all chronic diseases
B. the kinds of cancer attacking people
C. the cancer incidence rate

Lung Cancer
The death rate due to cancer of the lungs has increased more than 800 percentin males and has more than doubled in females during the last 25 years. (46)There are many possible causes, but it is still controversial which are mostblameworthy. Those factors which have been mentioned most frequently are thepresence of foreign particles and other irritants in the air (smoke particles,smog, exhaust fumes), and the smoking of cigarettes and cigars.
(47) Among heavy smokers ^21 to 30 cigarettes per day ^the mortality ratefrom lung cancer is nearly 17 times the rate from nonsmokers. It is expected thedeath rate among women will increase as the present high rate of smoking amongwomen has its effect.
Sometimes cases of lung cancer are discovered at the time an x-ray is takenfor the purpose of detecting tuberculosis. Too often, however, a currentemphasis upon the danger of exposure to radiation 1 from X-ray machines canfrighten people away from routine chest X-rays and thus prevent an earlydiagnosis of lung cancer.
(48) Modem X-ray machines in competent hands pose such slight danger,
at least to those over 40 years of age, that this would be much more thanoffset by the advantages of discovering a tumor while it is small enough to becompletely removed.3
(49) The tumor may grow until the bronchus is blocked, cutting off6 thesupply of air to that
lung. The lung then collapses, and the secretions trapped in the lung spacesbecome infected, with a resulting pneumonia or the formation of a lung abscess.Such a lung cancer can also spread to cause secondary growths in the lymphnodes7 of the chest and neck as well as in the brain and other parts of thebody. The only treatment that offers a possibility of cure, before secondarygrowths have had time to form, is to remove the lung completely. (50)
Malignant tumors of the stomach, the breast, the prostate gland8 and otherorgans may spread to the lungs, causing secondary growths.
A. This operation is called pneumonectomy.
B. It is considerably higher in urban and industrial areas than in ruraldistricts.
C. Routine X-ray chest examination is not dangerous.
A. Numerous studies have demonstrated a striking correlation between thedeath rate from lung cancer and smoking habits.
B. Early detection is absolutely essential if any possibility of cure is tobe maintained.
C. A common form of lung cancer is bronchogenic carcinoma4，so-called becausethe malignancy originates in5 a bronchus.

Eating Potatoes Gives Your Immunes System a Boost
Eating potatoes is not only good for bowel health, but also for the wholeimmune system, especially when they come in the (51) of a potato salad or eatencold. In a study on an animal model, researchers in Spain found that pigs (52)with large quantities of raw potato starch (RPS)1 not only had a healthierbowel, but also decreased levels of white blood cells，such as leucocytes andlymphocytes in their blood. White blood cells are produced as a result ofinflammation or disease, generally when the body is (53)
The general down-regulation of leucocytes (54) by the Spanish researcherssuggests an overall beneficial effect, a generally more healthy body. Thereduction in leucocyte levels was about 15 percent.Lower lymphocyte levels arealso indicative (55) reduced levels of inflammation, but the observed reductionin both lymphocyte density and lymphocyte apoptosis is (56).
In what was the longest study of its (57), pigs were fed RPS over 14 weeks tofind out the effect of starch on bowel health. "The use of raw potato starch inthis experiment is (58) to simulate the effects of a diet high in resistantstarch，” said study leader Jose Francisco Perez at the Universitat Autonoma deBarcelona3，Spain.
Humans do not eat raw potatoes, (59) they do eat a lot of foods that containresistant starch,such as cold boiled potatoes, legumes, grains, green bananas,pasta and cereals. About 10 percent of the starch (60) by human is resistantstarch starch that is not digested in the small intestine and so is shunted intothe large intestine (61) it ferments. Starch consumption is thought to reducethe risk of large bowel cancer and may also have an effect (62) irritable bowelsyndrome (IBS)4.
Immunology expert Lena Ohman's team previously found that the overalllymphocyte levels do not (63) for IBS patients, but that lymphocytes aretransferred from the peripheral blood to the gut,which support the hypothesis ofIBS being at least (64) an inflammatory disorder. She says the decrease inlymphocytes observed by the Spanish is therefore interesting, and a (65) ofresistant starch may be worth trying in IBS patients.
