Clinical Trials
1 Many clinical trials are done to see if a new drug or device is safe and effective for people to use.Sometimes clinical trials are used to study different ways to use the standard treatments so they will be more effective,easier to use,and/or decrease side effects.Sometimes,studies are done to learn how to best use the treatment in a different population,such as children,in whom the treatment was not previously tested.
2 It is important to test drugs and medical products in the people they are meant to help.It is also important to conduct research in a variety of people because different people may respond differently to treatments.Some people participate in clinical trials because they have exhausted standard treatment options.Other people participate in trials because they want to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge.
3 The FDA(食品及藥物管理局)works to protect participants in clinical trials and to ensure that people have reliable information as they decide whether to join a clinical trial.Although efforts are made to control the risks to clinical trical participants,some risks may be unavoidable because of the uncertainty inherent(內(nèi)在的)in medical research studies involving new medical treatments.

Importance of Children‘s Oral Health
February is National Children’s Dental(牙齒的)Health Month, but in children good oral care is critical every day. The first comprehensive study on the national’s oral health, released recently by the office of the U.S. Surgeon General, calls dental and oral diseases a “silent epidemic(流行?。?,” even in children. The report states that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness. In fact, a recent study pointed to dental care as the most common unmet health need among American children.
To help counter this, the American Academy of Periodontology(牙周病學)(AAP) is launching an effort to educate children and parents about the prevention of dental diseases in children.
“This is important because oral problems can impact self-esteem for children and lead to problems of eating, speaking and attending to learning,” said Michael McGuire president of the AAP.
Common dental problems seen in children are cavities(齲洞) and gingivitis(齦炎) which are found in the majority of U.S. children. “when these problems are not caught early and treated, they can develop into more severe problems and cause unnecessary to suffering,” said McGuire, “However, much of the time, oral problems are avoidable problems.”
In the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a group of more than 120 dentists volunteer deliver dental care to thousands of low-income children each year with its Mobile Delnit that travels from school to school.
“According to the Surgeon General‘s report, about 37 percent of children have not had a dental visit before starting school,” said McGuire,“When children don’t see dental professionals they miss the opportunity to have problems caught early before they develop into larger expensive problems to treat, and parents miss the opportunity to learn how to promote good oral habits in their children.”
1 Only in February should attention be paid to children‘s oral health.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
2 Dental and oral diseases are common in both adults and children.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
3 Boys miss more school hours each year due to dental-related illness.

U.S. States Do Poorly in Women’s Health
Not a single U.S. state meets basic federal goals for women‘s health, and the nation as a whole fails except in two areas —— mammograms (乳腺X光照片) and dental (牙齒的) check-ups —— researchers said on Thursday.
Millions of women lack health insurance, and states make it difficult to enroll (加入) in Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor, according to the report.
And few states are doing anywhere near enough to help women quit smoking - the leading cause of death in the United States.
“The nation as a whole and the individual states fall short of meeting national goals,” reads the report, put together by the National Women’s Law Center and the Oregon Health & Science University. “These health goals provide a road map for assessing the status of women‘s health.”
Of 27 measures examined by the group, from screening for diseases to actually treating them, the nation passes on only two, the researchers said. “The nation is so far from the health goals that it receives an overall grade of ’unsatisfactory‘,” they wrote.
The problem seems to be a lack among states of an overall plan for health in general the NWLC said.
“State policy makers’ piecemeal (一件一件做的) approach to our health care crisis has resulted in a complex and ineffective system that fails to meet the health care needs of women,” Judy Waxman, NWLC Vice President for Health, said in a statement.
“Lawmakers need to take a comprehensive, long-term approach to meeting women‘s health needs and tackle this serious problem that troubles so many families.”
1 In which area is the nation successful?
A Dental check-ups.
B Health promotion.
C Disease screening.
D Cancer treatment.
2 Medicaid is a program aimed at helping
A women.
B the poor.
C the old.
D children.
3 Which is America’s number one killer?
A Stress.
B Heart disease
C Cancer.
D Smoking.
4 The national goals for women‘s health make it easier to
A meet women’s health needs.
B assess the status of women‘s health.
C solve women’s health problems.
D deal with the health care crisis.
5 Which approach was recommended by Judy Waxman?
A The piecemeal approach.
B A state-federal approach.
C A comprehensive, long-term approach.
D A complex approach.
答案:1. A 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. C

You Need Courage!
Shortly after I began a career in business, I learned that Carl Weatherup, president of PepsiCo (百事可樂公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.(1)
So there I was sitting outside the university‘s auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students……, and talking, and talking.(2) He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time.
I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting “You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 p.m.” I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle (過道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped. (3) Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where I was now sitting, holding my breath.
He looked at the card and then at me. “Let me guess,” he said. “You’re Jeff.” He smiled.(4)
He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time; some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. (5) When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don‘t.
A I began breathing again and we grabbed (霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door.
B As I sat listening to him, I knew that I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
C I became alarmed: his talk wasn’t ending when it should have
D He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
E I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
F I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.
答案:1. E 2. C 3. F 4. A 5. D

For close to half of the men, a prolonged (拖延的) death was (8) a bad death.

Most men said that their (10) were very important to them, but this did not mean that they wanted relatives close at the (11) of death. “Valuing family did not also (12) wanting family present at the very end of life,” Vig said.
“In fact, some expressed concerns (13) burdening loved ones,” Vig said. For instance, some men were worried about the emotional or (14) impact on their family members, according to the Washington researcher. Some were worried (15)their need for care would be a burden on their families, she said.
