填空题A Baby"s Growth
1.To describe a baby"s growth, the old saying "one thing leads to another" should really read, "one thing leads to an explosion". The perfection of vision and the ability to hold his head up allow appreciation of visual space. The evolution of increasingly efficient reaching also lets the baby appreciate and participate in his three-dimensional world.
2.You may notice that your baby can grab toys with either hand. This is partly because the baby has learned to grasp an object even if it touches his hand lightly or his eyes are averted. By the end of the fourth month, he can probably alternate hands to grab the toys or transfer a toy from one hand to the other. He may even wave it briskly, then transfer it and repeat the waving, shuttling it back and forth between hands. In imitating the behavior of one hand with the other, the baby may be becoming aware that he can do the same thing with each arm and that each hand is distinct from the other. This awareness is important to his receiving information about space. The baby also begins to see himself act when he repeatedly reaches for and grasps things. He starts to distinguish himself from the outer world.
3.If you would like another sign of this growth process, try one of Gesell"s measures of mental growth, the behavior of a baby before a mirror. According to Gesell, a baby will smile at his image at around twenty weeks of age. Hold your baby up to a mirror and watch him examine the faces there. He will probably attend most to his own image and perhaps smile at it. As his image returns the smile, he may become active and vocalize. He may also look back and forth between your image and you as if the duplication puzzles him. A baby who knows his mother"s face cannot understand two of them. Calling softly to your baby, as he looks at your confusing double, complicates matters even further. His turning back to the real you shows that a baby four months old is likely to have the ability of preference in discrimination.
4.An early attachment to one object—a toy or a stuffed animal—is another index of discrimination, as well as self-development, for the baby"s interests are going beyond himself. Most babies do not prefer one toy this early, but some will. After exploring each toy, your baby may start reaching and playing with one special one. In the months to come, the toy or anything else the baby identifies with himself by wearing or carrying may become a "lovey". A "lovey" will be slept with, chewed, hugged, loved, and "talked to". These "loveies" give the baby a way of coping with the necessary separations from the mother. A friendly and familiar toy bear may just make him easier on himself. Rather than feeling threatened, a mother should be flattered by her baby"s extension of affection elsewhere. A baby with the heart to find a "lovey" is showing early mental resourcefulness and flexibility.

Relations with the People Around{{/B}}1. You depend on all the people closely
around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness (归属) that you must have to
feel secure. But, in fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong
also depend on you to give that feeling to them. A person who shows that he
wants everything for himself is bound (一定的) to be a lonely wolf.2. The need
for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness.
How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings
and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people
around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point,
however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having
people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are
satisfying both to you and to them.3. Suppose you are in a crowd watching a
football game. You don't know them. When the game is over, you will all go your
separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of
sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to
win.4. An experience of this kind gives the clue (线索) to what companionship
really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and
affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed.5. When you
are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances (熟人), you may not know with whom you
will make friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish
friendships if you show that you really like people.

填空题Anti-Aging Secrets: Four Ways to Stay Young
The aging process is not easy for anyone. While some people accept getting older and do everything within their power to keep the mind and body active, others adopt a negative attitude and give in to the effects of aging. However, the key to feeling young is maintaining a young mental state. Moreover, simple lifestyle changes can make you feel years younger.
Keeping the mind active is the best medicine against aging. Studies have shown that persons who remain active following retirement live longer. Brainpower and physical fitness go hand-in-hand. When minds are sharpened or active, we are more likely to be physically active. Even if aging results in slight memory loss or a little confusion, brain exercises such as crossword puzzles (填字游戏) can improve memory.
Some persons are naturally introverted (内倾性格的) or shy, which can result in isolation. If you want to live a long life, avoid isolation. Maintaining healthy relationships has lasting benefits. Establishing strong relationships could lower blood pressure, promote relaxation, ease pain, and may even strengthen the immune system (免疫系统).
Too much stress can quickly age people. Completely ridding (使摆脱) our lives of stress is impossible. On the other hand, we can adopt simple techniques for better coping with life"s problems, including reducing chaos, setting realistic goals, and relaxing.
If you think that you are old, you feel old. Try to be cheerful and avoid developing a negative attitude towards life. Sometimes, this involves changing our association. Surrounding yourself with complainers will start to influence your attitude to life. We all experience hardships. Rather than focusing on the unpleasant, reflect on the positive things about life.

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 patients.
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. When 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 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 possible 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, 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 treat-ment
at home for most kinds of illnesses. Today, doctors 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 most countries.

Optimists Really Do Live Longer, Say Scientists{{/B}} 1. For
the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer optimism was fundamentally wrong banal and
corrupting, while the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud simply declared it
to be neurotic. 2. Experience shows that looking on the bright
side of life does have advantages and recent scientific evidence points to the
positive mindset(思想倾向) as being beneficial to health. In other words optimists
live longer. 3. That was the conclusion reached by experts at
the Mayo Clinic in the US State of Minnesota who evaluated answers given by
people to a set of questions in the 1960s. Of the 729 candidates, 200 had died
and according to scientists, there were a disproportionate number of pessimists
among them. 4. The points more on the pessimism scale-that was
the difference between "slightly pessimistic" and "averagely pessimistic"-were
enough to boost a person's chances of dying by 19 percent, according to the
study by prominent psychologist Martin Seligman of the University of
Pennsylvania. 5. The study does not say why pessimists die but
an older survey taken among children in SanFrancisco and Los Angeles makes
it clear that personal attitude towards the world is a key factor in the
longevity equation. 6. The latest evidence to support the theory
that optimists tend to cope better with illness of all kinds has been provided
by professor Ralf Schwarzer of Berlin's Free University who questioned 600 heart
and lung patients. His conclusion: optimists recover more swiftly from
operations than their pessimistic counterparts, tend to be happier after
treatment and return to work more swiftly. 7. There have been
suggestions that optimists do not stay healthier but rather turn into optimists
later because they enjoy good health. Numerous surveys have taken into account a
person's state of health at the outset (最初) and the effect remains the
same. 8. Studies have shown that optimists do not blind
themselves to reality either. They thus interpret it in a positive way.
"Sublimating (vi.升华) and denying things tend to alter reality but illusions are
a way of seeing reality in the best light," said California. 9.
German science journal Bild der Wissenschaft, which carries a major article on
the topic in its current March issue, commented on "the right attitude" to
having a tumor. 10. It seems psychotherapy can go some way
towards extending the life span and life quality of a sick person although a
complete recovery using psychological technique alone is unlikely.
11. Doctors like, however, to point to the example of US cycling
professional Lance Armstrong, who was seriously ill with cancer, but whose
unshakeable optimism helped him to take the top trophy twice at cycling's
premiers Tour de France. 12. The magazine also quoted a study by
Sheldon Cohens of the Caregie Mellon University in Pittsburgh: 420 volunteers
were deliberately infected with strains of various common cold viruses. A day
later checks were carried out to see who had caught a cold. 13.
The results showed that in the case of people who had satisfactory, long-term
relations with friends, neighbors or colleagues, the virus was less likely to
trigger a cold. Of people with three of fewer firm relationships 62 percent
became ill compared with only 35 percent of those who had six or more close
human links.

填空题As more and more material from other cultures became available, European scholars came to recognize even greater complexity in mythological traditions. Especially valuable was the evidence provided by ancient Indian and Iranian texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita and the Zend-Avesta. From these sources it became apparent that the character of myths varied widely, not only by geographical region but also by historical period. (46) . He agreed that the relatively simple Greek myth of Persephone reflects the concerns of a basic agricultural community, whereas the more involved and complex myths found later in Homer are the product of a more developed society. Scholars also attempted to tie various myths of the world together in some way. From the late 18th century through the early 19th century, the comparative study of languages had led to the reconstruction of a hypothetical parent language to account for striking similarities among the various languages of Europe and the Near East. These languages, scholars concluded, belonged to an Indo-European language family. Experts on mythology likewise searched for a parent mythology that presumably stood behind the mythologies of all the European peoples. (47) . Muller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena. For example, an expression like "maiden dawn" for "sunrise" resulted first in personification of the dawn, and then in myths about her. Later in the 19th century the theory of evolution, put forward by English naturalist Charles Darwin heavily influenced the study of mythology. Scholars researched on the history of mythology, much as they would dig fossil-bearing geological formations, for remains from the dies tan past. (48) . In Primitive Culture (1871), Tyler organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages. Similarly, British anthropologist Sir James George Frazer proposed a three-stage evolutionary scheme in The golden bough. According to Frazer's scheme, human beings first attributed natural phenomena to arbitrary supernatural forces(magic.,later explaining them as the will of the gods (religion), and finally subjecting them to rational investigation(science.. The research of British scholar William Robertson Smith, published in Lectures on the Religion of the Semites (1989), also influenced Frazer. Through Smith's work, Frazer came to whom the annual cycles of vegetation were of central importance. (49) . This approach reached its most extreme form in the so-called functionalism of British anthropologist A. R. Radcliffe-Brown, who held that every myth implies a ritual, and every ritual implies a myth. Most analyses of myths in the 18th and 19th centuries showed a tendency to reduce myths to some essential core-whether the seasonal cycles of nature, historical circumstances, or ritual. That core supposedly remained once the fanciful elements of the narratives had been stripped away. In the 20th century, investigators began to pay closer attention to the content of the narratives themselves. (50) .A. German-born British scholar Max Muller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India—the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language-reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology.B. The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.C. Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths-like dreams-condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.D. This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tyler.E. The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottlob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths(instead of fabula, meaning "fable")to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.F. German scholar Karl Outfield mullet followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology, 1825.

Health Education{{/B}}1 Health education is the part of
health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A person's
behavior may be the main cause of a health problem, but it can also be the main
solution. This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly
nourished (营养) child, and the butcher (屠夫,卖肉的人)who gets a cut on his finger. By
changing their beha~vior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their
own problems.2 Health education does not replace other health
services, but it is needed to promote the proper use of these services. One
example of this is immunization (免疫) :scientists have made many vaccines (疫苗) to
prevent diseases, but this achievement is of no value unless people to go
receive the immunization.3 Health education encourages behavior that
promotes health, prevents illness, cures disease, and contributes to recovery.
The needs and interests of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and
communities are at the heart of health education programs. Thus there are many
opportunities for practicing health education.4 Health education is
not the same thing as health information. Correct information is certainly a
basic part of health education, but health education must also address the other
factors that affect health behavior such as availability (可获性) of resouces,
effectiveness of community leadership, social support from family members, and
levels of self-help skills. Health education therefore uses a variety of methods
to help people understand their own situations and choose actions that will
improve their health. Health education is incomplete unless it encourages
involvement and choice by the people themselves.5 Also, in health
education we do not blame people if they do not behave in a healthy way. Often
unhealthy behavior is not the fault of the individual. In health education we
must work with families, communities, and even regional and national authorities
to make sure that resources and support are available to enable each individual
to lead a healthy life.
填空题The Drink Your Body Needs Most1 Our bodies are estimated to be about 60 to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients (滋养物)to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.2 We lose water through urination (排尿), respiration (呼吸), and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration (脱水) include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation (便秘). A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.3 A good rule of thumb (好的做法) is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces (盎司) of water per day that you need. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8-ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane.4 'It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don't need.

1. Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible.
If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors
everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example. 2. At
Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length
with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers
everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a
care plan centred on the patient's illness but which also includes everything
else that is necessary. 3. The primary nurse stays with the
patient through his hospitalisation, keeping track with his progress and seeking
further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to
treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his
doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true
colleague. 4. Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a
decentralized (分散的)nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a
self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in
addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing,
employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses
decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when. 5.
Beth Israel's nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the
hospital. She also is member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most
hospitals includes only doctors.

Archaeological.{{/B}} Archaeological study covers an
extremely long span of time and a great variety of subjects. The earliest
subjects of archaeolgical study date from the origins of humanity. These include
fossil remains believed to be of human ancestors who lived 3.5 million to 4.5
million years ago. The earliest archaeological sites include those in Ethiopia,
Tanzania, Kenye; and elsewhere in East Africa. These sites contain evidence of
the first appearance of bipedal(upright-walking), apelike early humans.
{{U}}(46) {{/U}}. Some sites also contain evidence of the earliest use
of simple tools. Asia about 1.8 million years ago, then into Europe about
900,000 years ago. The first physically modern humans, Homo
sapiens, appeared in tropical Africa between 200,000and 150,000 years ago-dates
determined by molecular biologists and archaeologists working together. Dozens
of archaeological sites through tout Age (100,000 to 15,000 years ago).
{{U}}(47) {{/U}}. Archaeologists have documented that
the development of agriculture took place about 10,000 years ago. Early
domesticationis evident in such places as the ancient settlement in Jordan and
in Mexico. Archaeology plays a major role in the study of early civilizations,
such as those of the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, who built the city of Ur, and the
ancient Egyptians, who are famous for the pyramids near the city of Gina and the
royal sepulchers(tombs)of the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. {{U}}(48)
{{/U}}. Archaeological research spans the entire development
of phenomena that are nuique to humans. For instance, archaeology tells the
story of when people learned to bury their dead and developed beliefs in an
afterlife. Sites containig signs of the first simple but purposeful hurials in
graves date to as early as 40,000 years ago in Europe and Southwest Asia. By the
time people lived in civilizations, burials and funeral ceremonies had become
extremely important and elaborate rituals. {{U}}(49) {{/U}}. Few burials
rival their lavish sepulchres. Being able to trace the development of such
rituals over thousands of years has added to our understanding of the
development of human intellect and spirit. Archaeology also
examines more recent historical periods. Some archaeologists work with
historians to study American colonial life, for example. They have learned such
diverse information as how the earliest colonial settlers in Jamestown,
Virginia, traded glass beads for food with native Algonquian peoples; how the
lives of slaves on plantations reflected their roots in Africa; and how the
first major cities in the United States developed. {{U}}(50) {{/U}}.
This garbage is the modern equivalent of the remains found in the archaeological
record. In the future, archaeologists will continue to move into new realms of
study.[A] For example, the Mocha lords of Sip an in coastal Peru were buried
in about ad 400 in fine cotton dress and with exquisite ornaments of bead, gold,
and silver.[B] By 40,000 yeas ago people could be found hunting and
gathering food across most of the regions of Africa.[C] Archaeological
studies have also provided much information about the people who first arrived
in the Americas over 12,000 years ago.[D] They were simple plants that had
not devloped sepa-appeared in the Silurian period. They were simple plants that
had not developed separate stems and leaves.[E] One site in Tanzania even
reveals footprints of humans from 3.6 million years ago.[F] One research
project involves the study of garbage in present-day cities across the United
States.[G] Other sites that represent great human achievement are as varied
as the cliff dwellings of the ancient Anasazi(a group of early Native Americans
of North America)at Mesa Verde, Colorado; the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in
the Andes Mountains of Peru; and the mysterious, massive stone portrait heads of
remote Easter I sand in the Pacific.

{{B}}ZYBAN Tablets (药片){{/B}}1. ZYBAN is a prescription (处方) medicine to
help people quit smoking. Studies have shown that more than one third of people
quit smoking for at least one month while taking ZYBAN. For many patients, ZYBAN
reduces withdrawal symptoms (脱瘾过程中产生的症状 ) and the strong wish to smoke.2.
ZYBAN should be taken as directed by your doctor. The usual recommended dosing
(剂量) is to take one 150-mg tablet in the morning for the first 3 days. On the
fourth day, begin taking one 150-mg tablet in the morning and one 150-mg tablet
in the early evening. Doses should be taken at least 8 hours apart.3. For
most patients, treatment will last 7 to 12 weeks. Because results vary, it may
take longer for some people, possibly up to 6 months depending on the
individual. If you've been smoking for a long time, ZYBAN will help to reduce
withdrawal symptoms. It's important to remain on ZYBAN for at least 7 to 12
weeks in order to quit for good. Your doctor should determine when to stop
taking ZYBAN. 4. It takes about 1 week for ZYBAN to reach the right levels
in your body to be effective. So, to increase your chance of quitting as much as
possible, you should not stop smoking until you have been taking ZYBAN for 1
week. You should set a date to stop smoking during the second week you're taking
ZYBAN.5. The side effects (副作用) associated with ZYBAN are generally mild and
often disappear after a few weeks. The most common side effects are dry mouth
and difficulty in sleeping. If you have difficulty sleeping, avoid taking your
medicine too close to bedtime.

1. Humans not only love eating ice cream, they enjoy
feeding it to their pets(宠物). Market studies show that two thirds of all dog
owners give ice cream ot their dogs. Unfortunately, says William Tyznik,
an expert on animal nutrition(营养)at Ohio State University, ice cream is
not good for dogs. "It has milk sugar in it, "he says," which dogs cannot digest
very well." 2. Bothered by that knowledge but aware of the
desire of dog owners to please their companions, Tyznik invented a new frozen
treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice cream--and as
much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid
by-product(副产品)of cheese and milk with the sugar removed. Frosty Paws also
contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It took
Tyznik, who has also invented a horse feed (called Tizwhiz) and another dog food
(named Tizbits), three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formulas, and two
attempts to commercialise it. After losing $ 25,000 trying to market the
invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Associated Ice Cream of
Westerville, Ohio, which makes the product and packages it in cups.
3. Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested extensively and that
"dogs love it". Of 1,400 dogs that have been offered the product, he says, 89
percent took it on the first try. Three out of four preferred it to Milk-Bone or
sausages. The product, which will be available in the ice-cream section of
supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups, costing between $
1.79. 4. What would happen if a human should mistake Frosty Paws
for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyznik. It's harmless, but frankly, he says,
it won't taste very good.
