19、1 Every year millions of women are screened with X-rays to pick up signs of breast cancer, ff this happens early enough, the disease can often be treated successfully. According to a survey pub- lished last year, 21 countries have screening programmes. Nine of them, including Australia, Canada, the

20、US and Spain, screen women under 50.2 But the medical benefits of screening these younger women are controversial, partly because the radiation brings a small risk of inducing cancer. Also, younger women must be given higher doses of X-rays because their breast tissue is denser.3 Researchers at the

21、Polytechnic University of Valencia analyzed the effect of screening more than 160,000 women at 11 local clinics. After estimating the womens cumulative dose of radiation, they used two models to calculate the number of extra cancers this would cause.4 The mathematical model recommended by Britains N

22、ational Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) predicted that the screening programme would cause 36 cancers per 100,000 women, 18 of them fatal. The model preferred by the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation led to a lower figure of 20 cancers.5 The researchers argue that the l

23、evel of radiation-induced cancers is “not very significant“ compared to the far larger number of cancers that are discovered and .treated. The Valencia programme, they say, detects between 300 and 450 cases of breast cancer in every 100,000 women screened.6 But they point out that the risk of women

24、contracting cancer from radiation could be reduced by between 40 and 80 percent if screening began at 50 instead of 45, because they would be exposed to less radiation. The results of their study, they suggest, could help “optimize the technique“ for breast cancer screening.7 “There is a trade-off b

25、etween the diagnostic benefits of breast screening and its risks,“ admits Michael Clark of the NRPB. But he warns that the study should be interpreted with caution. “On the basis of the current data, for every 10 cancers successfully detected and prevented there is a risk of causing one later in lif

30、A, a 20th-century product always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed (贪婪) on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature. But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected

31、to receive MBAs in 1993. This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the widespread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day. “If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one,

32、“ said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. “But in the last five years or so, when someone says, Should I attempt to get an MBA, the answer a lot more is: It depends. “The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has he

But by then, theyre out looking for other jobs. “ The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is t

35、hat the MBA has acquired an aura (光环) of future riches and power for beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollment in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do with out one. The growth was fueled by a backl

36、ash (反冲) against the anti-business values of the 1960s and by the womens movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees often know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. “They dont get a lot of grounding in the people side of the

42、) includes many of todays social insurance programs. During the middle of the 19th century, Germany, along with other European nations, experienced an unprecedented rash of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization. Motivated in part by Christian compassion (怜悯)for the

43、helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement. Chancellor Bismarck created the worlds first workers compensation law in 1884.By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workers compensation insurance.

44、Americas injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of tough legal barriers. For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace.

45、 The first state workers compensation law in the country passed in 1911, and the program soon spread throughout the nation.After World War , benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living. In fact, real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s,

46、 and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a family of four. In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national commission to study the problems of workers compensation. Two years later, the commission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for increasi

47、ng compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states average weekly wages.In fact, the average compensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today. But, as most studies show, every 10 percent increase in compensation benef

48、its results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims. And with so much more money floating in the workers compensation system, its not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie.（分数：15.00）(1).The worlds first workers co
