Health is commonly thought of as the 11 of disease, and indeed it is difficult to discuss one without the other. Equally problematic is the 12 of the health of the body apart from the state of the mind or the 13 , because historically the topics were closely connected. Even with these difficulties in mind, it is still possible to focus on certain 14 about the health of the human body as a natural state and about

how this natural state could be 15 or maintained.
One idea about health that 16 many cultures is the notion that there was a time when the human body existed in a perfect state of health and when no diseases beset it. People lived in 17 with nature, in a childlike state. Bodily illnesses came into the world, as so many stories go, when a "sin", angered divine authority. Stories about original sin are, in short, 18 .
Such myths carry in them crucial meanings for understanding the history of the body and its health. 19 . The author of Genesis wrote of painless childbirth before the fall. If perfect bodily health existed once, it could exist again. 20 .

Reading Comprehension
请根据需要填入Script：

Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)

Passage One
A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year's epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed.
"It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review," said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. "We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways." He said.
In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions — generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations — have made it hard to interpret results.
Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators（呼吸器）to help patients breathe, is the mainstay（主要支持）of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties, Dr. Mardel said.

One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. "There is a lack of shared information," Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published.
The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The World Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations.



21. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____.
A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected
B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients
C. determining treatment for SARS
D. . publishing all the information about SARS

23. According to doctors, the two methods to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties both _______.
A. carry the risk of infecting hospital employees
B. are effective in curing patients who have breathing difficulties
C. don't run the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees
D. prove to work effectively and cause no harm

24. According to a WHO official, Dr. Mardel, the guidelines were flexible because _____.
A. SARS would reemerge in poor countries
B. no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return

Passage Two
Children are getting so fat that they may be the first generation to die before their parents. Today's youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes (糖尿病) because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary (长坐的) lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids

will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36~38 inches, and may be 42~44 by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 inches in 1972. Women's waists have grown from an average of 22 inches in 1920 to 24 in the 50s and 30 now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.
In the UK alone, more than one million under 16 are classed as overweight or obese (过度肥胖的) — double the number in the mid 80s. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese.
The obesity (肥胖症) pandemic (流行病) — an extensive epidemic — which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East. Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.
Prof. Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by an oversupply of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.
Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease as well as diabetes. An averagely obese person's lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.
Prof. Prentice said: "So will parents outlive their children? The answer is yes and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health."
So say "No" to that doughnut and burger.



26. Prof. Andrew Prentice said that the life of an extremely fat child ________.
A. might be shorter
