Continuing Medical Education
There is increasing recognition of the need for health workers to continue their education throughout their careers. Not only do health workers themselves wish to improve their own skills and competence, but the introduction of new techniques and equipment and the changes taking place in health needs and health care policies necessitate continued training. The phrase "health care" is intended to mean not just curative treatment for the sick but the whole range of provision for promoting health and preventing disease.
In virtually every situation some response to this need has been made, so continuing education does take place -- even though it may in many instances be ineffective or insufficient. Continuing education may be initiated by the health workers themselves, by their supervisors, by the managers of the health system, or by other agencies such as professional associations, publishers, and drug companies The form of the continuing education may be written materials (journals, books, advertisements), meetings, courses, supervisory visits, or a variety of other methods.
With this diversity of approach it is not surprising that the effectiveness of the continuing education should be variable. So it is natural that in many countries there is concern that more continuing education should be provided and that it should be more effective.
The approach suggested that to achieve this aim is to develop a "system" of continuing education. This term needs some explanation as it is capable of being interpreted in many ways. A system is not the same thing as an organization that provides continuing education. It is much more than that. It is the sum of the educational activities, the organizational structure that supports and manages those activities, the management, and the external agencies involved in the provision of health care. The system should comprise a nationwide coordinated program in which technology and resources are optimally used.
1. Health workers themselves are aware of the importance of continued training.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. Health needs and health care policies always remain constant
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. The phrase "health care" means more than curative treatment for the sick.

7. A "system" of continuing education functions in the same way as an organization that provides continuing education.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
标准答案： C,A,B

2 At a science museum in Ontario，Canada，you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music.At the Modem Museum in Sweden，you can put on costumes provided by the Stockholm Opera.As these examples show, museums are.reaching out to new audiences，particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of the population.As a result，attendance is increasing.
3 More and more，museums directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums，for example,
there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch，listen，operate，and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself.He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer.He can experiment with glass blowing and paper making.The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it，and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.Many museums now provide educational services and children’s departments.In addition to the usual displays.they also offer film showings and dance programs.Instead of being places that one‘‘should”visit，they are places to enjoy.
4 One cause of a11 these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.They are better educated than their parents.they see things in a new and different way.They are not content to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate in.The same is true of science and history.In the US, certain groups who formerly were too poor to care about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the world around them.The young people in these groups，like young people in general，have benefited from a better education than their parents received.All these groups，and the rest of the population as well.have been influenced by television，which has taught them about other places and other times.
5 The effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the building of new ones.In the US and Canada alone，there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.About half of them are devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences.The number of visitors, according to the American Association of museums，has risen to more than 700 million a year.
6 In fact，the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major problem.Admission to museums has always been either free or very inexpensive，but now some museums are charging entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices.Even when raised, however, entrance fees are generally too low.to support a museum，with its usually 1arge building and its highly trained staff.

Medical Journals
Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals.
In the past，these journals were available only in print.With the development of electronic publishing，many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet，and some journals publish only online.A few medical journals，like the Journal of the American Medical Association，are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine.Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine.
Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments.Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature.
Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors，combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing，diagnosing or treating a particular disease.Case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat at them.Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors，often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue.
Editorials provide perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic.Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments， questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.
1. The main readers of medical journals are
A)the general public.
B1healthprofessionals.

Obesity(肥胖): the scourge(祸害)of the western world
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world，delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday.According to statements before the opening of the conference—of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries—1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight，and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said：“Obesity is a chronic illness.In Germany，20 per cent of the people are already affected，but in Japan only one per cent.’’But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said：“We are living in the new age(but) with the metabolism of a stone—age man.” “I have just been to the United States.It is really terrible.A pizza shop is springing up on every corner.We have been overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization.”
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.Hopichler said：‘‘Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese，also fifty per cent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with adipose tissue complaints.’’ “Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease.Reducing one’s weight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure.’’
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs.“Though the health insurance pays for surgery (such as reducing the size of the stomach)when the body-mass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters.One should start earlier.”
Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school.“Child obesity (fat deposits)correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets.”
The consequences were only apparent later on.No more than fifteen per cent of obese people lived to the average life expectancy。for their population group.

DNA fingerprinting
DNA is the genetic material found within the cell nuclei of all living things.In mammals the strands of DNA are grouped into structures called chromosomes.With the exception of identical siblings(as in identical twins).the complete DNA of each individual is unique.
DNA fingerprinting is sometimes called DNA typing.It is a method of identification that compares bits of DNA.A DNA fingerprint is constructed by first drawing out a DNA sample from body tissue or fluid such as hair，blood，or saliva.The sample is then segmented using enzymes，and the segments are arranged by size.The segments are marked with probes and exposed on X—ray film，where they form a pattern of black bars—the DNA fingerprint.If the DNA fingerprints produced from two different samples match.the two samples probably came from the same person.
DNA fingerprinting was first developed as all identification technique in 1 985.originally used to detect the presence of genetic diseases.it soon came to be used in criminal investigations and legal affairs.The first criminal conviction based on DNA evidence in the United States occurred in 1988.In criminal investigations.DNA fingerprints derived from evidence collected at the crime scene are compared to the DNA fingerprints of suspects.Generally，coups have accepted the reliability of DNA testing and admitted DNA test results into evidence.However。
DNA fingerprinting is controversial in a number of areas：the accuracy of the results.the cost 0f testing，and the possible misuse of the technique.
The accuracy of DNA fingerprinting has been challenged for several reasons.First，because DNA segments rather than complete DNA strands are“fingerprinted”：a DNA fingerprint may not be unique;large—scale research to confirm the uniqueness of DNA fingerprinting test results has not been conducted.In addition.DNA fingerprinting is often done in private laboratories that may not follow uniform testing standards and quality controls.Also，since human beings must
interpret the test, human error could lead to false results.
DNA fingerprinting is expensive.Suspects who are unable to provide their own DNA to experts may not be able to successfully defend themselves against charges based on DNA evidence.
Widespread use 5f DNA testing for identification purposes may lead to the establishment of a DNA fingerprint database.

Why do people shrink?
Did you ever see the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids? It's about a wacky dad (who's also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention. Oops! ____1____.
For older people, shrinking isn't that dramatic or sudden at all. It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can't be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. ___2___.
There are a few reasons. As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. ___3___. But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. ___4___. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people --especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with -- are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act? You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. That's because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed (squeezed) due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don't worry, though. ___5___.
A. They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
B. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again.
C. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it's not being replaced.
D. Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.
E. The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.
F. But why does shrinking happen at all?

Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke later in life and could prevent hundreds of __1__ of deaths each year，researchers said on Friday.
Babies who are breastfed have fewer childhood infections and allergies and are less __2__ to obesity.British scientists have now shown that breastfeeding and slow growth in the first weeks and months of life has a protective effect __3 __ cardiovascular disease.
‘'Diets that promote more rapid growth put babies at risk many years later in __4__ of raising their blood pressure，raising their cholesterol and increasing their tendency to diabetes and obesity—the __ 5 __ main risk factors for stroke and heart attack。”said Professor Alan Lueas of the Institute of Child Health in London.
“Our evidence suggests that the reason why breast-fed babies do better is because they grow more __6 __ in the early weeks.”
Lucas said the effects of breastfeeding on blood pressure and cholesterol later in life are greater than __7 __adults can do to control the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, other than taking drugs.
An estimated 17 million people die of __8__ disease，particularly heart attack and strokes，each year，according to the World Health Organization.
Lucas and his colleagues compared the health of 2 1 6 teenagers __9__as babies had either been breastfed or given different nutritional baby formulas’.They reported their__10__ in The Lancet medical journal.
The teenagers who had been __11__had a 14一percent lower ratio of bad to good
cholesterol and lower concentrations of a protein that is a marker for cardiovascular disease risk.
The researchers also found that，__12 __ of the child’s weight at birth，the faster the infants grew in the early weeks and months of life，the __13__ was their later risk of heart disease and stroke.The effect was the __14__ for both boys and girls.
“The more human milk you have in the newborn period，the lower your cholesterol level is， the lower your blood pressure is 1 6 years __15__，”Lucas said.
