Reflection on SARS
Meeting with SARS(遭遇非典型肺炎)
SARS broke out in Beijing this spring. We had to stay at home during those days. I learned my subjects from Classroom on the Air on TV. I started to learn by myself. Every day I studied my new lesson
SARS broke out in Beijing this spring. We had to stay at home during those days. I learned my subjects from Classroom on the Air on TV. I started to learn by myself. Every day I studied my new lessons on textbooks in the morning and did my homework in the afternoon. When I had some difficulties in study, I asked teachers for help through telephone or the Internet.
After those days I know it is important to learn how to study. I should work harder than before.
今年春天北京出现了非典型肺炎,在那段时间里我们不得不呆在家里。我通过收看电视中的“空中课堂”学习。我开始自学。每天我上午学书中的新知识,下午做作业。当我在学习中遇到困难时,我打电话或上网向老师求助。
经过那段时间我懂得了学会怎样学习是很重要的。今后我应该比以前更加努力学习。

Passage 2
Today I would like to tell you about the effects of old age health. Actually today a lot of improvements have taken place in the care of old people and old people’s health is not nearly so bad as it used to be.
Probably many of the fears that people have of growing old are greatly exaggerated (夸大). Most people, for example, dread becoming senile. But in fact very few people become senile. Perhaps only about 15% of those over 65 become senile. Actually much more common is in fact
caused by doctors ourselves. And that is over-medication. Nearly 80% of people over 65 have at least one serious illness, such as high blood pressure, hearing difficulty or heart disease. And very often to combat these they take a number of drugs and of course sometimes there are interactions among those drugs. And this can cause a lot of complications from mental confusions, very commonly, to disturbance of the hearth rhythm(节奏). So this is a problem that doctors have to watch out for.
Probably the most ignored disorder among old people is depression. Maybe about 15% of older people suffer from this condition. A lot of it is caused by this over-medication which we mentioned. Although it is better now for old people we have to admit that the body does change as we grow older. The immune(免疫的) system starts to decline and there are changes in metabolism(新陈代谢), lungs, the senses, the brain and the skin.
So what should an old person do to counteract these changes?
He or she should eat a balanced diet—not too much fat—chicken or fish should be eaten rather than eggs or beef. Eat more high-fiber and vitamin-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruit.

A) the effects of old age on health

C) old people’s depression
D) over-medication

Passage 3
Christine was recently digging through old boxes in her storeroom preparing to move to a new house. In one box, she came across a magazine of June 2, 1986.
There’s a reason Christine had saved the magazine for 20 years. In its pages, she was one of more than a dozen women reported in an article discussing the “cruel reality” of their poor marriage prospects (前景). At the time Christine was living in Chicago and greatly annoyed by the fact that her social life didn’t seem to be progressing toward a trip down the aisle. “I had a lot of girlfriends in the same boat,” she says.
But a funny thing happened. At age 40, she married; a few weeks ago she and her husband celebrated their 10th anniversary (周年纪念). Today she’s the happy mom to two children from her husband’s first marriage. Looking back on her single days, she remembers her unhappiness.
“I had the same feeling that many women have, which is that you’re not considered a whole person unless you’re married with children,” she says. “But as I reached my 40s, I realized that was totally wrong ... I could still have a very fulfilling life.” It was only after she’d come to peace with the fact that she might never marry that she met her future husband while shopping in a supermarket.
