Additional information: emergencies

There is only one number in America to call
for all emergencies, 911. When you call 911,
you are asked if you need the police, the fire
department, or an ambulance. For health
emergencies, an ambulance is sent to your
location and takes you to the hospital’s
emergency room.

At the emergency room, a nurse checks on
your injury and assigns you a place in line to
see the doctor. If you are truly dying, you will
see the doctor right away. If you have a cut or
a broken arm, you may need to wait. In this
way, the doctors are able to try to help the
people who most need help. It is important to
remember this and try to be patient.

II. Reading Comprehension

A new study suggests that the more
teenagers watch television, the more likely
they are to develop depression（忧郁症）as
young adults. But the extent to which TV may
or may not be to blame is a question that the
study leaves unanswered.

The researchers used a national long-term
survey of adolescent health to investigate the
relationship between media use and
depression. They based their findings on
more than four thousand adolescents who
were not depressed when the survey began
in 1995.

As part of the survey, the young people were
asked how many hours of television or videos
they watched daily. They were also asked
how often they played computer games and
listened to the radio. Media use totaled an
average of 5.5 hours a day. More than 2
hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2002, more than 7
percent of the young people had signs of
depression. The average age at that time
was 21. Brian Primack at the University of
Pittsburgh medical school was the lead
author of the new study. He says every extra
hour of television meant an 8 percent
increase in the chances of developing signs
of depression.

The researchers say they did not find any
such relationship with the use of other media
such as movies, video games or radio. But
the study did find that young men were more
likely than young women to develop
depression, given the same amount of media
use.

Doctor Primack says the study did not
explore if watching TV causes depression.
But one possibility, he says, is that it may
take time away from activities that could help
prevent depression, like sports and
socializing. It might also interfere with sleep,
he says, and that could have an influence.

1.According to the passage, the
researchers have found ____________.
A. in what way watching TV causes depression
B. why teenagers like to watch TV
C. the relationship between depression and the use
of all forms of media
D. the relationship between depression and
watching TV
P1: A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch
television, the more likely they are to develop depression

Sample

A recent survey shows that the health
of the students in our school has been
going from poor to worse in the past
three years. The number of shortsighted students has increased from
78.2% in 2002 to 92.5% this year, while
that of overweight students from 36% to
52.4%. Nearly 10% more students don't
have enough sleep because of more
homework. Besides, over 15% more
students become mentally unhealthy.

To improve students’ health, we call for
less homework. Only in this way can
students get plenty of sleep and be
healthier. Proper diets and exercise should
also be paid attention to so that they won't
easily put on weight. With their heavy
burdens removed, students can then keep
in normal mental health.
Additional Information:

What’s definition of excellent health?

Good health is not something you are able to
buy at the drugstore, and you can’t depend
on getting it back with a quick visit to the
doctor when you’re sick, either. Making your
body last without major problems has to be
your own responsibility. Mistreating your
system by keeping bad habits, neglecting
symptoms of illness, and ignoring common
health rules can counteract the best medical
care.

Nowadays, health specialists promote the
idea of wellness for everybody. Wellness
means achieving the best possible health
within the limits of your body. One person
may need fewer calories than another,
depending on metabolism. Some people
might prefer a lot of easier exercise to more
strenuous exercise. While one person enjoys
playing golf, another would rather play tennis.

Understanding the needs of your own body is
the key. Everyone runs the risk of accidents
and no one can be sure of avoiding disease.
Nevertheless, poor diet, stress, a bad
working environment and carelessness can
ruin good health.

By changing your habits and the conditions
surrounding you, you can lower the risk or
reduce the damage of disease.
Additional Information:

healthcare system in the People's
Republic of China


Since the founding of the People's Republic, the
goal of health programs has been to provide care to
every member of the population and to make
maximum use of limited health-care personnel,
equipment, and financial resources.
The emphasis has been on preventive rather than
curative medicine on the premise that preventive
medicine is "active" while curative medicine is
"passive." The health-care system dramatically
improved the health of the people, as reflected by
the remarkable increase in average life expectancy.

Although the practice of traditional Chinese
medicine was strongly promoted by the
Chinese leadership and remained a major
component of health care, Western medicine
was gaining increasing acceptance. The goal
of China's medical professionals is to
synthesize the best elements of traditional
and Western approaches.


Traditional medicine depends on herbal
treatments, acupuncture, acupressure针压,
moxibustion (the burning of herbs over
acupuncture points灸), and "cupping"拔罐疗
法 .Such approaches are believed to be most
effective in treating minor and chronic
diseases, in part because of milder side
effects.
Traditional treatments may be used for more
serious conditions as well; sometimes
traditional treatments are used in combination
with Western treatments.


The Chinese government still faces a mammoth
task in trying to provide medical and welfare
services adequate to meet the basic needs of
the immense number of citizens spread over a
vast area.
Although China‘s overall affluence has grown
dramatically since the mid-1980s — per capita
income 人均收入has increased many times over,
and caloric intake has become comparable to
that for western Europe — a great many of its
people live at socioeconomic levels far below
the national average.



The health of the Chinese populace has
improved considerably since 1949.
Average life expectancy has increased by
about three decades and now ranks nearly at
the level of that in advanced industrial
societies.
Many communicable diseaseshave either
been wiped out or brought under control.




As evaluated on a per capita basis, China's
health facilities remain unevenly distributed.
Only about half of the country's medical and
health personnel work in rural areas, where
approximately three-fifths of the population
resides.
The doctors of Western medicine, who
constitute about one-fourth of the total
medical personnel, are even more
concentrated in urban areas.
Similarly, about two-thirds of the country's
hospital beds are located in the cities.
