But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical workers. From the angle

8、of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital. A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However, each must be equally trained. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience

9、and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night. The nursing staff in a hospital is usually quite large and various. Nursing services, after all, must be provided on a 24-hour basis. There are professional (专业的) nurses, practical nurses, nurses aids

10、, and orderlies (勤杂工). The general term nurse refers to a person trained to offer bedside care to sick persons. Under the supervision (管理) of the head nurse, the nursing staff in a hospital ward must attend to patients needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in

11、 shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight hours in length. The nurses on the ward rotate (轮换) their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses station. A nurse must always be on her guard. She can

12、 never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situations , but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hos

16、C.Not mentionedMedicine 1. Medicine is the science and art of healing. It is a science because it is based on knowledge gained through careful study and experimentation. It is an art because it depends on how skillfully doctors and other medical workers apply this knowledge when dealing with patient

17、s. 2. The goals of medicine are to save lives, to relieve suffering, and to maintain the dignity of ill individuals. For this reason, medicine has long been one of the most respected professions. Thousands of men and women who work in the medical profession spend their lives caring for the sick. Whe

18、n disaster strikes, hospital workers rush emergency aid to the injured. When epidemics threaten, doctors and nurses work to prevent the spread of disease. Researchers in the medical profession continually search for better ways of fighting disease. 3. Human beings have suffered from illnesses since

19、they first appeared on the earth. Throughout most of this time, they knew little about how the human body works or what causes disease. Treatment was based largely on superstition and guesswork. 4. However, medicine has made tremendous progress in the last several hundred years. Today, it is possibl

20、e to cure, control, or prevent hundreds of diseases. People live longer than they did in the past as a result of new drugs, machines, and surgical operations. Medical progress in the control of infectious diseases, improvements in health care programs for mothers and children, and better nutrition,

21、sanitation, and living conditions have given people a longer life expectancy. 5. As medicine has become more scientific, it has also become more complicated. In the past, doctors cared for patients almost single-handedly. Patients received treatment at home for most kinds of illnesses. Today , docto

22、rs no longer work by themselves. Instead. They head medical teams made up of nurses, laboratory workers, and many other skilled professionals. The care provided by such teams cannot generally be started at home. As a result, clinics and hospitals have become the chief centers for medical care in mos

23、t countries. A. In ancient tribes, treatment was executed by witch doctors and based largely on superstition. B. Today, extensive knowledge and sophisticated medical techniques make possible the cure, control, and prevention of hundreds of disease C. The goals of medicine involve life rescuing, pain

24、 reducing, and dignity maintaining D. Control of infectious diseases is given as a reason for a longer a life E. School infirmaries appear as a result of increasing complicated medical work F.

27、omers want them, that it is hard to believe that it made its first appearance in Egyptian Temples back in 215 B. C. Vending has benefited from that long history and is now poised to meet the needs of the 21st century consumer. Current day pressures mean that we are all time-starved and the ready ava

28、ilability of a drink and a snack at the right temperature just where we want. It is the convenient luxury that helps to keep stress at bay and provides a few more minutes at the desk or in the gym. At work, those extra minutes spent making tea or coffee by hand really add up. Research conducted by t

29、he NOP ( National Opinion Poll) for the Association showed that the average time spent on this by employees over and above formal lunch and tea breaks is 45 minutes per day. That equates to a firm employing 50 people losing up to 37 man everyday, a real hole in productivity! Its not just in the work

30、place, though, that the benefits of vending can be enjoyed. More and more major household brands are seeing vending as an ideal route to the customer for their products because the vending machine can be trusted to be ready to serve whenever there is a demand. Machines are now familiar sights at air

31、ports, garage forecourts, leisure sites, railway stations and anywhere else that people gather, allowing consumers to put together an instant picnic. Its no surprise, therefore, that consumers are currently spending at the rate of some 1 billion per year through the slots of vending machines now tha

36、ike cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu“ or as “bad cold“. He took specimens from the throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus of this influenza. There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having seve

37、ral sub-groups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus group A, but he did not know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W. H. 0. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbre

38、ak in Hong Kong, where about 15%-20% of the population had become ill. As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself at a very high speed, the virus had multiplied more than a million times within two days.

39、Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus on this virus. None of them gave any protection. This then, was something new: a new influenza virus against which the people of the world had no ready help whatsoever. Havin

40、g isolated the virus they were working with, the two doctors now conducted tests on some specially selected animals, which contract influenza in the same way as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments revealed that the new virus spread easily, but

41、that it was not a killer. Scientists, like general public, called it simply “Asian“ flu. （分数：-1.00）(1).The Asian flu virus_.（分数：-0.20）A.was a killerB.was very weakC.could reproduce very quicklyD.died very fast(2).“The outbreak, was due to a virus“ (in para. 2) means that it was _ by a virus.（分数：-0.2

H. 0.paid attention to influenzaD.people in Asia were likely to catch influenza(4).It can be inferred from this passage

43、that the Asian flu _.（分数：-0.20）A.could not be cured by any known drugB.could be cured quite easilyC.was a deadly diseaseD.had been known before(5).The word “specimens“ (in para 1) means_.（分数：-0.20）A.bloodB.skinC.samplesD.soresOld Mothers Children Have Higher Diabetes (糖尿病) Risk Children of older mot

44、hers run a higher risk of developing insulin-dependent (胰岛素依赖型的) diabetes, the British Medical Journal said. “A strong association was found between increasing maternal (母亲的) age at delivery and risk of (insulin-dependent) diabetes in the child. Risk was highest in firstborn children and decreased p

45、rogressively with higher birth order,“ Professor Edwin Gale and colleagues at Southmead Hospital in Bristol said. Diabetes is a serious, incurable, lifelong disease characterized (以作为特性) by all inability to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin-dependent diabetes, which mainly affects ch

46、ildren, is treated by administering the hormone insulin. Gale looked into 1,375 families in the Oxford area where one or more children had diabetes and found that the risk of a child developing insulin-dependent diabetes increased by 25 percent for each five-year band of the mothers age. The risk of

47、 developing diabetes was also linked to the age of the father. For every five-year band of the fathers age the risk of the child developing diabetes increased by nine percent. The risk of diabetes was high?est among the firstborn children of mothers who started their families late and the risk decre

48、ased by about 15 percent for each subsequent child, the BMJ said. The older the mother, the earlier the start of insulin-dependent diabetes in the child. Other studies have already shown that children born to older mothers, over the age of 35, have an increased risk of diabetes but this study is the

49、 first to establish that risk increases continuously in relation to increasing maternal age, Dr. Polly Bingley of Southmead Hospital told Reuters (路透社). The new study is the first to show that risk is related to birth order. The study also partly explains increasing diabetes. Between 1970 and 1996 the proportion of children born to mothers aged between 30 and 34 increased to 28 percent from 15 percent and this could account for rising numbers of childhood diabetes patients, the scientists said in the
