In fact, some patients are so worried that they will actually give up
2、treatment to prevent the release of this information, according to a report published in the August issue of AIDS Care.Dr. Kathryn Whetten-Goldstein and colleagues from Duke University, Durham. North Carolina, studied the confidentiality issues of 15 HIV-infected patients from rural North Carolina l
3、ocations. They were divided into groups designed to explore their attitudes toward, and experiences with, breaches in confidentiality.“The fear of a breach in confidentiality is definitely affecting the care that HIV-infected patients receive, “ Whetten-Goldstein said. “Most studied patients had exp
4、erienced or knew someone who had experienced a breach in confidentiality. “Two types of breaches occurred, “ Whetten-Goldstein noted. “The first was a more obvious type of breach. One example was a nurse who told her child that her patient was HIV-positive out of concern that her child would play wi
5、th the patients child. “The other type of breach was more subtle, one that providers might not consider breaches, “ Whetten-Goldstein explained. “This type of breach involves providers talking about a patients HIV status without the patients knowledge of the interaction. “The law allows the sharing
6、of information between providers within the same institution, but patients consent must be obtained before providers at different institutions can share information, “ she pointed out.“Patients in the study wanted providers to tell them when they are going to share information with other providers a
7、nd why it is being done,“ Whetten-Goldstein said. “They also felt that providers should be punished when a breach occurs. “However, because patients are often reluctant to seek legal action which may further expose their status, they felt that the system should regulate itself, “ she added.（分数：21.00

12、s that there is a strong link between what a person eats and cancer. They say a new study provides the first evidence that vitamins could reduce a persons chance of developing cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study. They are from American National Cancer Institute and the Ca
13、ncer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of the study. About thirty thousand people between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study. They were from the northern central Chinese area of Linxian. Most o
14、f them took vitamins and minerals every day for five years.Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus. Researchers believe that fungus and molds in local foods may be partly responsible for the high cancer rate. Researchers divided thos
15、e into eight groups. Seven of the groups received different mixtures of vitamins and minerals daily. The amounts of the vitamins and minerals were 1 to 2 times greater than what American health officials say is needed. The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect. Those who seemed to gai
16、n the most received a mixture of a form of vitamin A called -carotene, vitamin E and the mineral selenium. The vitamin and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells caused by cancer-causing substances. Researchers reported a 13 percent drop in cancer rates in those who took -carotene, vitamin
17、E and selenium. They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by strokes from bursting blood vessels.Scientists warn that it is too soon to know if the effect would be the same among people in other countries.

32、A.B.C.What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that
33、dreams can tell us about a persons mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person
34、to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a persons wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatri
35、st Carl Jung was once a student of Freuds. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about
36、falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the Univers
37、ity of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a persons daily life, thoughts, and behavior. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults
38、. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in mens dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This i
39、s not true of womens dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing
40、 they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldnt panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. Its important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.（分数：21.00）(1).Not everyone agr

Not mentioned（分数：3.00）A.B.C.(5).According to Domhoff, babies do not have the same ability to dream as adults do.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：3.00）A.B.C.(6).Men and women dream about
43、different things.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：3.00）A.B.C.(7).Scientists agree that dreams predict the future.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned（分数：3.00）A.B.C.Red Meat Links to Higher Risk of Breast CancerExercise and keeping a healthy weight are two things that doctors say might help women
44、lower their risk of breast cancer.Mothers may reduce their risk if they breastfeed for at least four months. For older women, hormone replacement therapy can lower the risk of some other diseases. But it has been found to increase the risk of breast cancer. So women should consider their choices car
45、efully. The same may be said for diet.New findings show that younger women who eat a lot of red meat have higher rates of breast cancers called hormone-receptor positive. The growth is fed by the levels of estrogen or another hormone, progesterone, in the body.Researchers at Brigham Womens Hospital
46、in Boston, Massachusetts, reported the findings as part of a health study of nurses. The researchers followed the health of more than 90,000 women from 1991 to 2003. Those who ate the most red meat ate more than one and one-half servings a day. A serving was defined as roughly 84 grams. Those who at
47、e the least red meat ate less than three servings a week. This is what the study found about breast cancers that were hormone receptor-positive: The women who ate the most red meat were almost two times as likely to get them as the women who ate the least of it.Eunyoung Cho, the lead author of the r
48、eport, says more research is needed to know the reason for the link. But in the past, researchers have suggested that three things may play a part. One is the way meat is cooked or processed. Another is the use of growth hormones in cows. And the third is the kind of iron in red meat. The study appe
49、ars in the Archives of Internal Medicine.And now we have more to tell you about our subject resveratrol. We discussed a study in the United States that found that large amounts of this plant compound helped fat mice live longer. The mice were fed much more resveratrol than people could get from red wine, one of the foods that contains it.Now, scientists in France say resveratrol also improves muscle performance again, at least in mice. They were able to run two times as far in laboratory treadmill tests as mice normally could. The study at the Institute of Genetics
