单选题 Is Your Child's Stomach Pain All in His Head? We all know there are times that kids seem to complain (51) a stomachache to get out of chores(零星活儿)or going to school. Don't be so sure that the pain they (52) is all in their minds. We're learning more now about a condition (53) " functional abdominal pain" that is experienced by millions of kids every day. Like many teenagers, Kyle Brust makes it a point to do his homework as (54) as he gets home. Unlike most, Kyle often did this with a terrible stomachache. In fact, the (55) often started while he was at school, but getting help there was getting harder. "Some of my teachers wouldn't let me go, because I'd asked so many times before and they thought I was trying to get out of (56) ," says Kyle. Kyle's mom Marilyn says she couldn't blame the (57) . After all, she'd taken him to the doctor several times herself, and even they couldn't find anything (58) . "You know, you're running the tests and nothing's coming up. So, is it in his head, is he just an extremely stressful child? It's just frustrating (59) we're not finding any answers," says Marilyn. It turns out Kyle was suffering from a condition known (60) functional abdominal pain, that affects as many as one out of every ten kids in this country. Even (61) the cause of the pain may not be obvious, there are real consequences. "It really does hurt, and these kids really do suffer," says Dr, Campo, MD at Nationwide Children's Hospital. To help (62) , Campo is looking into a new approach. He's conducting clinical trials of an antidepressant(抗抑郁药)that changes the way the body handles a chemical called serotonin(血清素). In a preliminary study, Dr. Campo found that in about eight out of ten (63) , the drug normally used to treat emotional pain worked to ease the pain in the (64) . "We think about it as being important in anxiety and depression and that's all quite true, but what's really interesting is that 95% of our body's serotonin is in our gut," says Campo. Campo believes these kids have extremely sensitive intestines(肠), and controlling the effects of serotonin may (65) ease the pain. It seemed to work for Kyle, who is now completely pain free for the first time in years.

In fact, most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) (美国妇产科医师学会), which sponsored the survey. "Too many women are dying from cancer," Dr. Douglas W. Laube, ACOG's immediate past president, said during A. Friday teleconference. "An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U. S. this year, and over 600,078 women will be diagnosed with cancer. The results of this survey found A. worrisome (令人担忧的) gap in women's knowledge about cancer." Based on the findings, ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests. Although the survey found many misconceptions (错误观念) about cancer, 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past year to lower their risk. Seventeen percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer. Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings, ACOG will launch on Oct. 29 A. new website - {{I}}Protect & Detect: What Women Should Know about Cancer{{/I}}. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer - and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

单选题{{B}}第一篇{{/B}} Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements. Australian-born U.S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U.S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pair's possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden's central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists. "Individual researchers probably don't look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they're at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions." In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.
