单选题Community cancer clusters are viewed quite differently by citizen activists than by epidemiologists. Environmentalists and concerned local residents, for instance, might immediately suspect environmental radiation as the culprit when a high incidence of cancer cases occurs near a nuclear facility. Epidemiologists, in contrast, would be more likely to say that the incidences were "inconclusive" or the result of pure chance. And when a breast cancer survivor, Lorraine Pace, mapped 20 breast cancer cases occurring in her West Islip, Long Island, community, her rudimentary research efforts were guided more by hope that a specific environmental agent could be correlated with the cancers than by scientific method. When epidemiologists study clusters of cancer cases and other noncontagious conditions such as birth defects or miscarriage, they take several variables into account, such as background rate (the number of people affected in the general population), cluster size, and specificity (any notable characteristics of the individual affected in each case). If a cluster is both large and specific, it is easier for epidemiologists to assign blame. Not only must each variable be considered on its own, but it must also be combined with others. Lung cancer is very common in the general population. Yet when a huge number of cases turned up among World War II shipbuilders who had all worked with asbestos, the size of the cluster and the fact that the men had had similar occupational asbestos exposures enabled epidemiologists to assign blame to the fibrous mineral. Although several known carcinogens have been discovered through these kinds of occupational or medical clusters, only one community cancer cluster has ever been traced to an environmental cause. Health officials often discount a community's suspicion of a common environmental cause because citizens tend to include cases that were diagnosed before the afflicted individuals moved into the neighborhood. Add to this the problem of cancer's latency. Unlike an infectious disease such as cholera, which is caused by a recent exposure to food or water contaminated with the cholera bacterium, cancer may have its roots in an exposure that occurred 10 to 20 years earlier. Do all these caveats mean that the hard work of Lorraine Pace and other community activists is for nothing? Not necessarily. Together with many other reports of breast cancer clusters on Long Island, the West Islip situation highlighted by Pace has helped epidemiologists lay the groundwork for a well designed scientific study.

单选题 The way people hold to the belief that a fun filled pain
free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real
happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal
to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things
that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many
people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear
the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children,
professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务),
self-improvement. Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage
even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he
will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in
fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement.
Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing
features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole
night's sleep or a three day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose
the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have
children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a
grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has
nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates
time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our
happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that
will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates
us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun
actually may not be happy at all.
