阅读理解 Natural Health Care Natural health care is a philosophy and a set of principles and practices based on science that lead to an extraordinary level of personal health and happiness. It recognizes the unity of all life and holds that physical, mental, and emotional health cannot be separated, and that personal health, environmental health, and community health are parts of a whole. Natural hygiene (卫生学) teaches that the best way to achieve best health is right living—developing self-esteem and a positive attitude towards life; eating fresh, whole natural foods; exercising regularly; getting plenty of rest and sleep; getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine; learning to handle stress; and avoiding all negative influences of life. Basic principles: Natural health care is unique in its argument that health is normal—as simple as living in harmony with nature. Health and disease are a continuum (连续统一体)—the same physiological (生理的) laws govern the body in sickness and in health. Healing (康复) is a biological process—except in extraordinary circumstances, healing is the result of actions undertaken by the body on its own behalf. The tradition of natural health care: The traditional principles of natural hygiene are explained by Herbert M. Shelton in his Natural Hygiene: The Plain Way of Life. Shelton writes: It should not require argument to convince intelligent men and women that man can return to health and strength only upon a basis of law, natural law, specifically, upon a basis of those laws that operate to make human life possible. All laws essential to the welfare of man are written in his own constitution. Every rule of human conduct to be valued in promoting human welfare and happiness must be in harmony with his nature. No law, no social custom, no moral principle, can have any validity (有效性) for man that does not agree with his highest welfare. If it is not closely related to man''s highest physical, moral and intellectual fitness, it cannot be consistent with his highest ideals of truth, duty and enjoyment.
单选题 According to the passage, physical, mental, and emotional health are______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】短文第二段第一句说到这三者是“不可分割的”，而选项A)则说它们是“密切联系的”，两者意思相同，只是换一个表达方法而已。其他选项均与原意不符。
单选题 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of right living?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】短文第二段第二句中，在“right living”后面有一个破折号，破折号后面列举了六项，都属于“right living”(健康的生活方式)的内容，其中就没有提到B)项的内容，故选B)。
单选题 In view of the basic principles of natural health care, which of the following statements is NOT true?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】选项A)、B)、C)的内容均可以从第三段的各句中找到，只有D)项的内容与本段的叙述不一致。第三段第二句只说到“健康与疾病是一个连续统一体，同样的生理规律支配着身体的疾病与健康”，并没有说到“健康与疾病毫无区别”，况且，从常识去判断也不可能毫无区别。
单选题 In Shelton's eyes, trying to convince intelligent people that man can return to health only on a basis of natural law______.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】本题的答案在最后一段第二句。该句中的“it should not require argument to convince…”(不需要费什么口舌就可以使…相信…)，自然就是意味着“easy”了。
单选题 No rule of human conduct can be considered important in promoting the welfare of man unless______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】本题的答案在最后一段第四句，只是将原句改换成另一种表达方法而已：“No rule…unless…”是双重否定，实际上=“Every role…”；另外，valued=important。其他三个选项均不符合原句意思，其中C)项“…has nothing to do with…”意为“与…无关”。
