Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted (迅速出现) in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million-about 7 percent-are obese. Experts say the obesity epidemic (流行病) is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China"s citizens and economy. "We"re seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren"t moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China"s childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. "In big cities it"s a big problem." Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China"s rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition, kids-especially city children-are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet. Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a part of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer (同龄人) groups influence kids" food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features. China"s childhood obesity rate are still less than that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious. |

Why does the rate of heart attacks increase during the World Cup football finals? How can we help an overweight patient to lose weight? They"re just some of the topics covered in a new book by University of Sussex academics, which is helping student doctors to consider the importance of psychology in medical practice. Psychology for Medicine is the first textbook of its kind, providing medical trainees and new doctors with all the relevant psychological knowledge they need. Previously, students had to refer to many different books for the relevant psychology. The book, by Sussex psychologists Dr. Sussex Ayers and Dr. Richard de Visser, has been well received by fellow academics and medical doctors and was finished with the help of the students and staff of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. The students proofread(校对) the chapters, provided ideas for the content and even modeled for the photographs. The book provides a solid grounding in psychological study relevant to medicine, along with practical tips and advice for practice. One student, Simon Hall, drew cartoons for the book. The study psychology is important for doctors for a number of reasons. Psychological and physical symptoms are highly related. Up to a third of patients will have psychological disorders, while physical causes are usually only found in around 15 per cent of people"s symptoms. In treatment, a lot of the effect drugs can be due to patients believing they will recover rather than the drug itself. Dr. Ayers says, "The important thing about this book is that it"s applied science --- it shows why psychology is important to medicine and how we should use it. The book"s presentation is really important. It"s not just lots of theory, but full of tips and advice so that students can take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations." |

International volunteering does not only mean helping people who are in need. There are also some animals that need voluntary help. Compared to humans, animals are luckier because they do not know how to express their emotions (情感). They do not know how to express what they want and they do not know how to express what makes them hurt. Some people may think that volunteering to help animals is hard; it may be true but _____. If you volunteer to help animals in China, you can help support the endangered (濒危的) species of pandas. The country of Costa Rica offers a sea turtle conservation area (保护区). You can work on the pacific coasts or in the Caribbean and save one of the most unusual creatures in the world, the sea turtles. But if you want thrills and adventures, you can volunteer to help feed those rare white lions in the Lion Park in Johannesburg, a city of South Africa and have fun with other wild animals. You can also go to Guayaquil, Ecuador where international volunteer programs have been offered include helping animals like crocodiles. Volunteering in Malaysia is a great experience too. Taking good care of the orangutans (猩猩), feeding them right and saving them from any illness are just some of the things you can do. Aside from the countries being mentioned above, you can also volunteer in some other countries that have the same volunteer program being offered. |

Autumn and winter are cold and flu seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, "feed a cold and starve a fever?" And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable? Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and that stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside. And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water. Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at 40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping. Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems. |

A. doesn"t believe in the old advice about preventing colds B. is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. C. doesn"t think it necessary to see a doctor immediately if a person has a temperature of 40℃ D. doesn"t think it necessary to treat a fever even if it prevents someone from sleeping. |
2. According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should________. |
A. bathe in cold water B. drink enough water C. try to eat something D. take some exercise outside |
3.Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage? |
A. When people should treat a fever B. Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable. C. What the medicine , aspirin, is used for. D. Why people should eat when having a cold. |

任务型阅读 。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词 The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult. A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person"s body becomes dependent on the substance. A try to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal(脱瘾过程). American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings. To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes(替代物). Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek. A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system. Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person"s blood. This helps satisfy some people"s desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with heart problems. Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely. |
