New U. S. Plan for Disease Prevention
Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services
Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to
encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer
and diabetes（糖尿病）.
The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases一the leading causes of death in
the United States一and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet
and increased exercise.
"In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,
disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,"the Health and Human
Services department said in a statement.
The causes are often behavioral一smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.
"I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy
choice for our future,"Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.
"Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating
diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices."
Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in
2003.
"These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as
a nation are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,"he said.
The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for
changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.
Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and
diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.
The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are
being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can
do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.
The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by
screening, including Pap tests（巴 氏实验）for cervical（子宫颈的）cancer,
mammograms（乳房X线照片）for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）,and
prostate（前列腺的）checks.
If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival
rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.

共用题干Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is FoundThe World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis（结核病）.Most times , the infection remains inactive（不活跃的）.But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB,usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it.The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS and drug-resist-ant forms of tuberculosis.Current treatments take at least six months.Patients have to take a combination of several antibiotic（抗生素）drugs daily. But many people stop as soon as they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection（传染病）that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-act-ing cure for tuberculosis would be more effective.Now a study estimates just how effective it might be .A professor of international health at Harvard University led the study.Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured.It would also mean fe- wer infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others.The researchers developed a mathematical（数学的）model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan.They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia.The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases.And it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths.The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty.That is,if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve.The World Health Organization developed the DOTS program in nineteen ninety.DOTS（短期直接观察治疗）is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course.

共用题干Health Promotion1 World health will improve only if the people themselves become involved in planning, implementing,and having a say about their own health and health care.But involvement will not just happen.2 How serious are we about involving individuals,families,and communities?Are we prepared一mentally and professionally（专业上）一to listen to their concerns,to learn from them what they feel is important,to share with them appropriate information,to encourage and support them?In many cases,so far,the answer is"No".We can go on and on developing plans:nothing will happen unless all health workers,all health managers,and key professionals（专业人员）in other areas come to realize what is at stake. To overcome these particular stumbling一blocks（障碍物）,I see three major requirements.3 First,health workers must understand that the concept of primary health care involves new roles for them , and a new outlook（观点）.Not only should we be concerned with disease prevention and control,we must also be concerned with health promotion and care, and not least with development in general一and with people.Our health technologies must be based on what the people themselves want and need.4 Second,health workers must accept their new roles.More yet:they must be keen to try them out,to broaden their scope and to innovate（创新）in the partnership（合伙人、合作关系）approach. Their main concern must be to find ways of helping individuals and communities become self-dependent.5 This brings me to my third point:health workers must have the necessary skills to perform these new roles effectively and to make efficient use of existing knowledge.This calls for a training force fully familiar with previous experience and keen to provide the kind and quality of professional preparation needed.It also calls for full support from health manaqers for such traininq. Without the involvement of the people,there is no point in endlessly________.A: some stumbling-blocksB: dependent on othersC: the necessary skillsD: self-dependentE: developing plansF: health workers

Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes（糖尿病）.The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases一the leading causes of death in the United States一and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and increased exercise."In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,"the Health and Human Services department said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral一smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise."I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,"Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative."Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices."Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003."These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,"he said.The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests（巴 氏实验）for cervical（子宫颈的）cancer, mammograms（乳房X线照片）for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）,and prostate（前列腺的）checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?A: They account for 70% of all deaths.B: They are responsible for most of the health care costs.C:They often result in unhealthy lifestyles.D:They are largely preventable.

共用题干Health Education1.Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A person's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem,but it can also be the main solution. This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished（营养） child, and the butcher（屠夫，卖肉的人）who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their own problems.2.Health education does not replace other health services,but it is needed to promote the proper use of these services. One example of this is immunization（免疫）:scientists have made many vaccines（疫苗）to prevent diseases,but this achievement is of no value unless people go to receive immunization.3.Health education encourages behavior that promotes health,prevent illness,cures disease and contributes to recovery. The needs and interests of individuals,families,groups,organizations,and communities are at the heart of health education programs.Thus there are many opportunities for practicing health education.4.Health education is not the same thing as health information.Correct information is certainly a basic part of health education,but health education must also address the other factors that affect health behavior such as availability（可获性）of resources, effectiveness of community leadership, social support from family members,and levels of self-help skills.Health education therefore uses a variety of methods to help people understand their own situations and choose actions that will improvetheir health. Health education is incomplete unless it encourages involvement and choice by the people themselves.5.Also,in health education we do not blame people if they do not behave in a healthy way. Often unhealthy behavior is not the fault of the individual.In health education we must work withfamilies,communities,and even regional authorities to make sure that resources and support are available to enable each individual to lead a healthy life.Paragraph 3______A:Importance of immunization.B:Relationship with other health services.C:Creation of necessary conditions for healthy behavior.D:Encouraging unhealthy behavior.E:Encouragement of behavior good for your health. F: Addressing a variety of behavior-affecting factors.
共用题干第一篇U. S. to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in JanuaryA study that will cost $3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100,000 U.S.children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January,U.S.health officials said on Friday.Officials from the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health said they hope the study,to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States,can help identify early-life influences that affect later development,with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.The study will examine hereditary（遗传的）and environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals that affect health.Researchers will collect genetic and biological samples from people in the study as well as samples from the homes of the women and their babies including air,water,dust and materials used to construct their residences,the NIH said.Officials said more than $200 million has been spent already and the study is projected to cost $3.2 billion."We anticipate that in the long term（从长远说来）,what we learn from the study will result in a significant savings in the nation's health care costs,"Dr. Duane Alexander,who heads the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development,told reporters.The study will begin in January when the University of North Carolina and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York start signing up（使报名从事）pregnant women whose babies will then be followed to age 21.Some of the early findings will be about factors behind pre-term birth（早产）,which has become more common in recent years,according to Dr. Peter Scheidt of the NIH,who heads the study.The people taking part will be from rural,urban and suburban areas,from all income and educational levels and from all racial groups,the NIH said.The aim of the study is to find new ways to_______.A:conduct research B:track public healthC:prevent or treat illness D:speed up development
