　　Are You Just Not Ill or Excellent in Health?

職稱英語理工類閱讀理解習題(5)

　　As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有營養的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.

　　The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

　　1.Today medical care is placing more stress on

　　A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition.

　　B.removing people’s bad living habits.

　　C.monitoring patients’ body functions.

　　D.ensuring people’s psychological well-being.

　　正確答案:B

　　解析:問題問的是：當今的醫療保健更加強調什么?文章開頭提到當今醫療保健的焦點已經從治療疾病轉移到預防疾病上，特別是在改變許多不利于健康的行為，如不良的飲食習慣，吸煙和不運動等。因此B正確，即去除不好的生活習慣。

　　2.In the first paragraph, people are reminded that

　　A.drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful.

　　B.regular health checks are essential to keeping fit.

　　C.prevention is more difficult than cure.

　　D.good health is more than not being ill.

　　正確答案:A

　　解析:問題問的是：第一段提醒人們什么?第一段列舉了一些人雖然有某種不良的習慣，但是還算健康，但是后面緊接著說他們還可以健康得多(如果沒有這些不良的習慣)。由此可見這些不良的習慣還是在某種程度上對這些人的健康有害的。其中就包括喝點酒但是并不醉酒駕車的人。因此A正確，即喝酒，即使不喝多也會對健康有害。BC在文中并沒有提到;D是第二段提到的。

　　3.Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he

　　A.does not have any unhealthy living habits.

　　B.does not have any physical handicaps.

　　C.is free from any kind of disease.

　　正確答案:C

　　解析:問題問的是：傳統上認為一個人健康的標準是什么?第二段開頭提到傳統上并沒有將健康細分為“沒有病”和“身體非常好并非常關注身體的特殊需要”，就是說，只要沒有病就算健康。因此C正確。
