Tapescript:
Good morning. I'm Dr. Pat Parker, and I'm here to talk to you about preventative medicine in
its widest and most personal aspects. In other words, I'm here to
tell you how the patient should
wrest control of their health away from the practitioners of medicine and take charge of their
own medical destiny. I want to talk about staying out of the hands
of the doctor.
1
When the patient takes responsibility for her or his own health--and let's decide the patient is male for now -- men are in fact more at risk than women anyway--when the patient takes over his
own health regime, he must decide what he wants to do. Our
department has recently completed a survey of men's health. We looked at men in different age groups and occupations, and we came up with a disturbing insight. Young men, particularly working class men, are at considerable risk of premature death because of their lifestyle. As a group, they have high risk factors: they drink too much alcohol, they smoke more heavily than any other group, their diet is frequently heavy in saturated fats, and they don't get enough exercise.
We then did a smaller survey in which we looked at environmental factors which affect health. I had privately expected to find air or water pollution to be the biggest hazards, and they must not be ignored. However, the effects of the sun emerged as a threat
which people simply do not take sufficiently seriously. Please remember that too much sunlight can cause permanent damage.
Given this information, and the self-destructive things which people, particularly young men
are doing to themselves, one could be excused for feeling very depressed. However, I'm an optimist,
l see things improving, but only if we work very hard. In the second part of the talk I want to consider different things that you as
students can do to improve your fitness.
In the late 80's the Surgeon-General of the United States said that
53 percent of our illnesses could be avoided by healthy lifestyle choices. I now want to discuss these choices with you.
You should try to make keeping fit fun! It's very hard to go out and do exercises by yourself, so it's wise to find a sport that you like and play it with other people, lf you swim, you can consider scuba diving or snorkeling. If you jog, try to find a friend to go with. If you walk, choose pretty places to walk or have a reason for walking. Your exercise regime should be a pleasure, not a penance.
The university is an excellent place to find other people who share sporting interests with you, and there are many sports teams you can join. This, unfortunately, raises the issue of sports injuries, and different sports have characteristic injuries. As well as accidental injuries, we find repetitive
strain injuries occurring in sports where the same motion is frequently performed, like rowing and
squash. The parallel in working life is repetitive strain injury
which may be suffered by typists or other people who perform the same action hour after hour, day after day.
In this context, therefore, the most important thing to remember before any sport is to warm up adequately. Do stretching exercises, and aim at all times to increase your flexibility. Be gentle with yourself, and allow time to prepare for the game you have chosen to play. Don't be fooled by the term "warm up", by the way. It's every bit as important to do your warm-up exercises on a hot day as on a cool one.
I think one of the most sensible and exciting developments in the reduction of injury is the
recognition that all sports can borrow from each other. Many sports programs are now encouraging players to use cross training techniques, that is, to borrow training techniques from other sports.
Boxers have been using cross training for years: building up stamina by doing road work and
weight training, while honing their skills and reflexes. Other
sports which require a high level of eye-hand coordination are following this trend, so you see table tennis players running and jogging to improve their performance, and footballers doing flexibility exercises which can help them control the ball better. All of these results are good, but the general sense of well-being is best, and is accessible to us all, from trained athletes to people who will never run a 100 meters in less than 15 seconds, Good health is not only for those who will achieve athletic greatness!(764)

Part III Subhealth
A People most likely to be subhealthy
1. middle aged people
2. elderly people
3. people in management position
4. students at exam time
Subhealth symptoms
1. lack of energy
2. depression
3. slow reactions
4. insomnia
5. agitation
6. poor memory
7. shortness of breath
8. sweating
9. aching in waist and legs
10. cardiovascular diseases
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth
1. forming good living habits
2. alternating work with rest
3. exercising regularly
4. taking part in open air activities
5. having a balanced diet
B
1. Synonyms of subhealth: a. third state b. gray state
2. Definition of subhealth: a borderline state between health and disease
3. Clinical names of subhealth: fatigue syndrome, endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, climacteric
syndrome
4. Food rich in nutritional elements: fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic products
Feeling stressed out lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the fancy equipment there show that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the third state
or gray state, is defined as a borderline state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-time, due to their heightened exposure to stress. Subhealth comes
under several clinical names, including fatigue syndrome, endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, and
climacteric syndrome. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia,
agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. In addition, cardiovascular diseases such as palpitations and arrhythmia may appear. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts is
to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air
activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more
3
fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic products because they are rich in nutritional
elements--vitamins and trace elements--that are indispensable to the body. Nutrition experts point
out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the
digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
Part IV
Summary
In more than 850 US hospitals, there is a system using infrared signals to track/locate a nurse when his/her service is needed. However, people have very different opinions about the use of such a system. Some people think, with this new technology, nurses can utilize their time in a better way, better patient care can be provided and nurses' overall performance can be measured, while some people think the devices will be used to listen in on conversations and scrutinize their movements. Some nurses even staged a protest against the system which seems to have a taste of Big Brotherism.
Tapescript
R: When a patient calls for help at Seton Medical Center, "Hi, Mr. Rogers, can I help you?" (says a
nurse), it's never a problem finding a nurse. "Do you want him to come in? OK, OK thanks."
[It's] because they all wear locator badges, part of a wireless system which tracks their
movements on the floor.
H: You can even tell when they are walking down the hallway?
S: Yes, you can. Yeah, you can. Nancy Martinis?
R: This system made by Hill-Rom uses infrared signals to detect when nurses enter a room to
answer a call. Staff can tall and listen through a wall unit to nurses or even to patients in other
rooms.
S: The time we were spending hunting staff down trying to find them and locate them we can put
that to much better use.
R: Hill-Rom says it has systems installed in more than 850 U.S. hospitals. Some nurses worry that
the devices will be used to listen in on conversations and
scrutinize their movements. B: I'm not wearing mine. I will still meet my patients' needs but I will not wear this badge. R: Annette Bearden is among dozens of nurses at Eden Medical Center who staged an active protest
two months ago saying the system smacks of Big Brotherism. They hid their badges though they
were later recovered.
B: You know it makes me not feel like a professional. It makes me like someone has to watch me to
make sure that ! am doing my job.
M: The biggest reason we installed this technology is because our old call system was about 25
years old.
R: For hospitals this is a case of technology allowing, perhaps forcing people to better utilize their
time. Officials at Eden don't deny they monitor how long it takes nurses to respond to calls but
say their main concern is patient care.
M: I think it's one tool that we can use in measuring performance, overall performance but by itself
it is not a valid disciplinary tool.
R: Eden is expanding its system with hopes the nurses will eventually accept the new technology,
but back at Seton where it's been in place for about two years, there are no qualms. S: Once the staff actually find out how advantageous it can be for them and the patients, well,
actually it became very popular.

R: Here Big Brother may be watching, but they say he is also helping out.
Part V
I: Well, our guest today is Dr. Elizabeth Alan who has just brought out a book called Biorhythms. Just to explain what biorhythms are to anyone not completely sure, they are not extraterrestrial, they are natural rhythms, the, um, biological rhythms of the body. And in Dr. Alan's book, there are suggestions about how to plan our daily
activities around our biorhythms, isn't that it, Dr. Alan?
A: Yes, it's a book where I've tried to include all the general things that are so far known.., um ... scientifically proven that is, about our biorhythms, and I've written it in a form of general practical advice in non-technical language.
I: I, uh, must say the bit of advice I liked best, is about going to the dentist, you know the one about being better to go between four and five o'clock in the afternoon because the pain killing injections will last three times longer.
A: Yes, that's very good advice. In the morning, if you go to the dentist in the morning, the injection or the effect of the injection would last about twenty minutes. But between four and five in the afternoon, it lasts an hour.
I: Uh, uh, is that for any particular reason? I ... I ... I suppose it is.
A: Oh yes. There are some biological reasons for all these things, but I prefer not to go into them now because to describe them would complicate things very much.
I: Ah! Uh, well, are ... are ... are there any other ... um ... surprising results of these studies? A: Well, uh ... I don't know about surprising, but for example, there are quite a few things about pain which are quite useful to know.
I: About pain? You mean things hurt more at some times of the day?
A: Yes. Between one and two in the morning, is the time when the body is most sensitive to pain. I: Ah!
A: As you know, if you've ever been kept awake with a headache or toothache, but at six in the evening, between six and seven, the sensitivity to pain is at its lowest.
5
I: And ... uh ... and what about work, um, what's the best time to work?
A: Well, the best time for that is in the morning, between ten and twelve. And that's good for heavy work because that is when the head,
the brain and the body reach their best level of performance together.
But there's a curious thing here, something people probably wouldn't expect. And that is, that the best time to read, to study something difficult, seems to be between nine and ten at night, which is when the long term memory works best.
I: Uh-huh. Now ... mn ... is it right that the ... uh ... the worst time to work is at night? I mean ... um ... yeah, after midnight?
A: Well, it's known in factories that there are more mistakes at night. And it seems that this is connected in some way with low blood pressure. The time when most mistakes are made by night workers is between three and four in the morning, which is when blood pressure is
at its lowest. I: Ah. Are there ... uh ... any other times of day when blood pressure is low?
A: Yes, it comes down after one o'clock in the afternoon and between two and three it's very low again.
I: So the best thing is not to do anything important between them.
A: Yes. And the other thing is that midday tiredness is at its worst between two and three. I: The best thing is to do important work in
the ... uh ... in the mornings then. A: Well, yes. But there is another time of day when the body and the mind reach another high point together.
I: Like the ... like the one in the morning?
A: Yes. And that's between five and six in the afternoon.
I: Ah, so it goes in cycles, does it? We have two high points a day.
A: Yes, that's it.
I: Ah ... uh ... just two other questions I'd like to ask, Dr. Alan. What about sports? A: Sports, well, that's another curious one.
I: Uh-huh.
A: In fact, the time of day when training works best is between
seven and eight in the evening. The body uses up less energy then, so
you get fit with less effort than at other times. I: Ah. And ... uh ... and sleep, what about sleep?
A: Ah. There's one very ... uh ... well no, there are two very interesting things about sleep. One is, that if you're a restless sleeper, the sort of person who moves about a lot in his sleep ... I:
The sort ... uh ... who kicks offthe blankets and sheets, aym. Ha,
that's me alright. A: Well you be careful between four and five in the morning because that's when the skin is most sensitive to cold.
I: Ah, so I suppose I should set the alarm for five, well like four
o'clock and make sure I've got the blankets on. But then I'm sure I wouldn't get back to sleep again.
A: And the second thing about sleeping is that after a tiring, hard-working day, it really is better to get to bed and sleep before midnight.
I: Oh, well, it would be, wouldn't it? Well, that's about the only
time of day I can relax a bit with a book or the ... uh ... the TV ... uh.
A: Well, that's the price you have to pay for working on the radio in the evening. I: Well, Dr. Alan, it's now exactly five fifty-five and according to what you said, I've just passed through my afternoon high point. And I'm ... I'm ... just about to enter the ... uh ... the hour when things hurt less.
A: Not just you, you know, it's me as well.
I: Well, thank you very much, Dr. Alan, for coming along to the program and ... uh ... all the best

with your book.
A: Thank you so much.

P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach.
But what is it? What does holistic mean? I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.
a system of medicine in which a disease is treated by giving
extremely small amounts of a substance that causes the disease W: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them. P: And how does that differ from a more western approach?
W: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine
treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and
surgery can remove the symptoms ...
P: But what's wrong with that? Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any more?

BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5) In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the
LESSON 13 SECTION 1 1.A special committee of twelve senator s today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion. 一个由十二位参议员组成的特殊委员会今天开始启动对联邦法官Harry Claiborne的弹劾。这是十五年来第一次发生这样的诉讼。Claiborne因为被判逃税而收押在监。 2 President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.'" Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups. 里根总统今天继续他的全国性禁毒行动。他要求对所有处于敏感部门的联邦政府的职工进行强制性毒品检查。他还送给国会一份关于国家反毒品增加9亿美元预算的法案，其中很大部分是用于边境巡逻。总统说立法是联邦政府坚决反对毒品的有效方法。“我们要严厉打击毒品，我们不是随便说说的。对于那些在想着使用毒品的人，我们说：…停止！?对于那些做毒品买卖的人，我们说：…当心！?”对于部分联邦工作人员的强制药检是总统计划中最受争议的部分。它受到部分职员团体的谴责。 One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital
Unit 1 Pirates of the InternetIt’s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now thehign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America’s movie studios know that if they don’t do something----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: “What’s really at stake for the movie industry with all this privacy?”Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.” Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know how many movies are being downloaded today, in one day, in the United States?”Chernin: “I think it’s probably in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.”Correspondent: “And it’s only going to grow.” Chernin: “It’s only going to grow. √Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet.

Lesson Eleven Section One: News in Brief Tapescript 1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines. 2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight. 3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime. Section Two: News in Detail Tapescript Texas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel. ' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.' 'This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?' 'Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy People
I am at the very center of the great white continent, Antarctica. The South Pole is about half a mile away. For a thousand miles, in all directions, there is nothing but ice. And, in the whole of this continent, which is one and a half times the size of the United States and larger than Europe, there is a year-round population of no more than 800 people. This is the loneliest and the coldest place on earth, the place that is most hostile to life. And yet, in one or two places, it is astonishingly rich. Penguins come here by the million and endure temperatures of minus 70 degrees centigrade and winds of 120 miles an hour. Other birds fly right to the heart of the continent, even though they have to dig away snow in order to find a place to nest . And here is the nursery for over half the world's seals. Antarctica is remote from all other continents, surrounded by the vast southern ocean and smothered by a blanket of ice so immense that it contains over three quarters of the world's freshwater. All life in the Antarctic is dominated by the ice. All but 2% of the continent is covered by it. Its very whiteness reflects back what little heat there is in the sun's feeble rays. And snow, when it falls, remains permanently frozen. So that now, after accumulating for millions of years,

Lesson 5 Section One: News in Brief 1. The House began debate today on a three-year bill to combat trafficking and use of illegal drugs. The measure has the support of most representatives and House Speaker Thomas O’Neill says he expects it to pass by tomorrow. Among other things, the bill would increase penalties for violators, provide money to increase drug enforcement and coast guard personnel,and require drug producing countries to establish eradication programs as a condition of US support for development loans. 2. A cultural exchange between the US and the Soviet Union may face an American boycott unless US News and World Report correspondent, Nicholas Daniloff, is freed from a Moscow jail. An American style town meeting is scheduled to take place in Latvia next week, but the two hundred seventy Americans due to take part say they won't go if Daniloff remains in jail. They add the decision is a personal one and is not being made by the Reagan Administration in retaliation for the Daniloff detention. 3. Egyptian and Israeli negotiators have reached agreement on resolving the Taba border dispute, clearing the way for a summit between the two countries to begin tomorrow. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres will meet in Alexandria. Details of the Taba agreement have not been made available. Section Two: News in Detail Tapescript The United States House of Representatives is debating an omnibus drug bill and expects to pass the measure tomorrow. Though the bill has attracted strong, bipartisan support, NPR's Cokey Roberts reports the debate on the issue points up the differences between political parties. When Congress returned from the Fourth of July recess, House Speaker Tip O'Neill said there was only one thing members were talking about in the cloak-room: drugs. The Democrats quickly pulled together chairmen from twelve different committees to draft a drug package. Then, stung by criticism that they were acting in a partisan fashion, the Democratic leaders invited the Republicans to join them in the newly declared war on drugs. So, when the bill came to the House floor today, the party leaders led off debate. Texas Democrat Jim Wright, 'It's time to declare an all-out war, to mobilize our forces, public and private,national and local, in a total coordinated assault upon this menace, which is draining our economy of some two hundred and thirty billion dollars

That it will take money is hardly debatable. We can't fight artillery with spitballs." The question of just how much money this measure will cost has not been answered to the satisfaction of all members.
