Alzheimer’s disease is a major national health problem. Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease. It is a leading cause of death among the elderly. But Alzheimer’s disease is not confined (限于) to the aged. There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease.
  At one time, people suffering from the disease were said to be “getting old”. The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old, but it is now known that Alzheimer’s disease strikes young and old alike. It is an organic (器官的) disease that destroys brain cells.

As the disease progresses, the patient may not recognize family and friends. These symptoms(症状) often cause terrible anxiety in the patient. He may feel lost and frightened. Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior.
  In the last stages of the disease, the patient may not be able to take care of himself. He may have lost the ability to speak and walk.
  Scientists don’t know exactly what causes Alzheimer’s disease. It may be caused by a virus (病毒).It may be caused by a poisonous substance(物质) in the environment. At present, there is no cure for the disease. But there are ways to slow its progress. Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease.

  38  I could ask which room my friend was in, the lady set down my name, age, filled out a form and   39  a bell. I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived with a wheelchair,   40   me in it and pushed me down the hall.

“I’m not   41 ,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”

“When he comes,” one man said, “we’ll   42  him up to your room.”

In a minute I   43  myself in a small room. In no time they undressed me and covered some other things   44  me. One man said “If you need anything, press the button.”

“I want to get my   45   back.” I begged.

“Oh, you can   46    us,” a voice said, “Even if the   47  happens, we will see that your wife will get everything.” They left and locked the door   48   them.

I was trying to think of how to escape by the door when Dr. Ward came in with several of his   49 .

“Thank God you finally came,” I said.

“It hurts that badly?” he asked.

“No, on the contrary, I am not ill   50 .”

Dr. Ward looked   51 . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means it’s much more   52  than we expected.” Then he turned to his students: “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal with because he refuses to   53  that he is ill. __54__ he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the hurt out for   55  by doing exploratory surgery (手术探查) .”
