填空题A considerable amount of medical research is aimed at identifying risk factors for disease. The rationale behind this work is that when people are informed of their risk, they will happily change their behavior to lower that risk. (51) this is certainly a reasonable assumption, it turns out that things are not quite that simple and straightforward. First of all, health is not necessarily a top priority in everyone's life and, for these people, changing behavior in the interests of health may interfere (52) other, more important matters. Second, the benefits to be derived (53) such changes rarely are immediate or obvious. Usually, improvements in health take place over long periods of time and are quite subtle. (54) , we are all so bombarded with information about the thousands of health hazards to which we are exposed (55) most of us "time out" much of this information. This latter issue is compounded by the fact that much of new information to which we are exposed through the media is exaggerated and, as often as not, is contradicted later by even "newer" information. For these and other reasons, simply knowing about a risk does not necessarily ensure that people will take appropriate steps to (56) it. (57) when people want to change their behavior, this is not easy to do. For example, the overwhelming majority of smokers in this country want to quit, (58) great effort, very few are able to do so. Most smokers acknowledge, at some level, that health hazards are associated with smoking and most wish that there were a simple and painless way to stop. (59) , the number of people who want to lose weight is very large, but few of these people are able to do it and even (60) are able to maintain such weight losses.

填空题"While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it"s unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world"s tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building. "(From Ron Bachman)

填空题Translate the Following English into Chinese.(浙江工商大学2009研,考试科目:翻译与写作)I do have the feeling that all stories by one writer tend to spring from the same source within him. However they differ in subject or approach, however they vary in excellence or fluctuate in their power to alter the mind or mood or move the heat, all of one writer"s stories must take on their quality, carry their signature, because of one characteristic, lyrical impulse of his mind—the impulse to praise, to love, to call up, to prophesy. But then what countless stories share a common source! All writers write out of the same few, few and eternal—love, pity, terror do not change.Sources of stories could be examined with less confusion, perhaps, not in the subjective terms of emotion, but through finding what in the outside world leads back to those emotions most directly and tautly and specifically. The surest clue is the pull on the line, the "inspiration" , the outside signal that has startled or moved the creative mind to complicity and brought the story to active being: the irresistible, the magnetic, the alarming(pleasurable or disturbing), the overwhelming person, place, or thing.

"Use it or lose it" is the new approach to back pain. In the last few years, there has been a
1
change in the way doctors treat this most common disease. Weeks or months of rest in bed—the
2
method of treatment for so long—are now thought to be surely harmful. Muscles become soft, joints become
3
and what started out as a
4
acute condition quickly turns into a continuing disability. Far better, according to current thinking, is to put up with a little pain and get moving.
The change has not happened overnight. For years, some specialists have had an
5
feeling that bed rest was not the answer. But what finally put an end to
6
bed rest was a study of more than 200 patients who were treated for back pain in a clinic in Taxes. Not only did patients who had two days" bed rest do totally as well as those given seven days, they
7
only half as much time altogether
8
work.
As a result of the study, experts now recommend that
9
anyone with acute back pain should spend more than a few days
10
down. After that should come a program of gradually
11
exercise, probably accompanied by some
12
treatments such as massage, heat or ultrasound.
Because of hospital waiting lists, most people have to wait several weeks before receiving the treatment they need. Unfortunately this wait is often spent in bed or inactive for
13
of doing further damage to the back. It has been estimated that for every day an injured muscle is rested it loses at least one per cent of its
14
. Stay in bed for two or three weeks and it will be far
15
to rebuild a damaged muscle.
