From the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with(与……紧紧地在一起)his lovely little patient. One day, following some tests , Betty gave the doctor a big hug(拥抱).

  A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour(肿瘤), but also the entire lower left side of Betty’s gum(牙龈)and jawbone. Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.

  Within three months, Betty’s tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate ( = thin; not strong)face. Soon she couldn’t even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty ‘s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15. Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.

  The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy (放射疗法). Night after night, Betty's father gave her injection, but the tumour remained as big as ever. Then one evening. Morgan noticed that the tumour had begun to change. It was actually becoming smaller! For two months her tumour appeared to be going away for ever. In the coming months, Betty’s tumour continued to appear. She was able to eat solid food once again. Her jawbone was regenerating. The tumour was gone.

 If Betty’s jawbone didn’t regenerate, the doctors ________ .

  A. would rebuild her jaw

  B. would continue the treatment

  C. would use new medicine

  D. could do nothing else

 If the brain should be invaded, the result would ________.

  A. prevent her growth

  B. reduce her weight

  C. cause her brain damaged

  D. affect her eyesight

 What did the doctors do two months later?

  A. They continued their observations.

  B. They gave up the operation on Betty.

  C. They found out what caused Betty’s strange disease.

D. They declared that Betty’s strange disease was cured.

“Then why didn’t you stop?” asked the policeman.
“It was   30 of me,” said the man, “but I thought you too had been ordered to run by your doctor.”

Are Societies Ageing Too Fast?

       An ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing.The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above.1._.This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change?

       2._.And another is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educated.Measures to slow population growth like China’s one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates.The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend, however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies.

       People traditionally retire at 65 and live on government pensions.3._.Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical systems to face bankruptcy(破产).

       _4.__.They suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system.They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement.People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age.5.__.By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced.

       Finally, an important step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients.It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies.

A. Due to ageing problem, cities are facing more challenges.

B. Experts insist that steps should be taken now to prepare for the future.

C. As people grow older, a huge financial burden will be placed on the government.

D. Biomedical research is another tool we can use to deal with the problems of ageing societies.

E. One reason is that dramatic health advances have added 20 years to the average life-expectancy.

F. The United Nations projects that by 2050, it will be 1 in every 5.

G. As is known to all, good habits lead to good health.
