(l)Cooperation is the only safeguard we have against the development of neurotic tendencies. It is therefore very important that children should be trained and encouraged in cooperation, and should be allowed to find their own way amongst children of their own age, in common tasks and shared games. Any barrier to cooperation will have serious consequences. The spoilt child, for example, who has learned to be interested only in himself, will take this lack of interest in others to school with him. His lessons will interest him only in so far as he thinks he gains his teachers' favor. He will listen only to what he considers advantageous to himself. As approaches adulthood, the result of his lack of social feeling will become more and more evident. When he first misunderstood the meaning of life, he ceased training himself for responsibility and independence. By now he is painfully ill-equipped for life's tests and difficulties. (2)We cannot blame the adult for the child's early mistakes. We can only help him to remedy them when he begins to suffer the consequences. We do not expect a child who has never been taught geography to score high marks in an examination paper on the subject. Similarly, we cannot expect a child who has never been trained in cooperation to respond appropriately when tasks that demand cooperation are set before him. But all of life's problems demand an ability to cooperate if they are to be resolved; every task must be mastered within the framework of human society and in a way that furthers human welfare. Only the individual who understands that life means contribution will be able to meet his difficulties with courage and with a good chance of success. (3)If teachers, parents and psychologists understand the mistakes that can be made in ascribing a meaning to life, and provided they do not make the same mistakes themselves, we can be confident that children who lack social feeling will eventually develop a better sense of their own capacities and of the opportunities in life. When they meet problems, they will not stop trying; they will not look for an easy way out, try to escape or throw the burden onto the shoulders of others; they will not demand extra consideration or special sympathy; they will not feel humiliated and seek revenge, or ask, "what is the use of life? What do I get from it?" They will say, "we must make our own lives. It is our own task and we are capable of performing it. We are masters of our own actions. If something new must be done or something old replaced, no one can do it but ourselves." If life is approached in this way, as a cooperation of independent human beings, there are no limits to the progress of our human civilization.

A. negligible B. overuse C. procedures D. abnormal E. patients F. potential G. complied H. collaborated I. made J. involved K. infrequent L. possessed M. detect N. provisions O. impact A study found that the radiation from CT scans—the tests regularly used to【C1】______ internal injuries or signs of cancer—is likely responsible for 2 percent of cancer cases in the United States. While lots of Americans undergo CT scans, that research is unlikely to come up in doctors' offices: Two-thirds of【C2】______in a new JAMA study reported hearing nothing of the risks of the diagnostic procedure. Meanwhile, 17 percent felt like they played an active role in a discussion over, whether this diagnostic test was the best path forward. "Our study indicates that most decisions to undergo outpatient CT are【C3】______ by physicians and risk communication is【C4】______," a team of researchers led by University of Colorado's Tanner Caverly writes. "The risk communication that took place had limited【C5】______: respondents who recalled discussing the benefits and risks of imaging did not have better knowledge." Would a conversation about the【C6】______ risks have made a difference? Caverly's team asked a few other questions that suggest it would: Patients undergoing the scan have little idea about the radiation【C7】______. One-quarter self-identified radiation as a risk of a CT scan; 37 percent were able to identify CT scans as having a higher level of radiation than a chest x-ray. There's a growing movement in medicine right now to cut back on unnecessary treatment or 【C8】______ of care. Much of this has been led by a group called Choosing Wisely, which has 【C9】______ with dozens of medical societies to come up with lists of【C10】______ that doctors themselves don't think they ought to be using. One of their key messages is that more care isn't necessarily better; all medicine comes with some level of risk. That message does not, however, seem to be delivered in the doctor's offices studied here.

A. risk B. plausible C. ongoing D. sum E. stronglyF. outset G. as H. meaningful I. causing J. processK. contribute to L. prescribed M. easily N. make O. truly We all know that emotions originate in the brain. But we usually talk about our emotions coming from our hearts. If someone you know doesn't give up【C1】______ , you might say, "He's got a lot of heart." Then what about bad emotions? When you feel so sad that your heart "aches," could it actually be true? A new study shows what goes on in your mind can, literally, break your heart. In the study, just published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers looking at more than 63,000 women who were participants in the【C2】______Nurses' Health Study, found that, those who reported basic symptoms of depression had a higher-than-normal【C3】______of heart attack. And women who were clinically depressed were more than twice as likely【C4】______other women to suffer sudden heart attack. None of the participants had heart problems at the study's 【C5】______, but nearly 8% had symptoms of depression. The researchers theorize that depression might have some direct physiological impact on the heart-like【C6】______it to work harder in the face of stress. Or it may be that the antidepressants (抗抑郁药) 【C7】______ to treat those with mood problems were associated with heart diseases; in the study, sudden heart attack was linked more【C8】______with antidepressant use than with women's symptoms of depression. No one is sure exactly how depression hurts the heart, and one【C9】______explanation is that a damaged heart and its consequent stress on the body might activate, somehow, genes or other physiological changes that【C10】______depression.
