16.If you're a male and you're reading this,congratulations!You're a survivor.According to statistics,you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term,about 78years for men in Australia,you'11die on average five years before a woman.There're many reasons for this-typically,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,"says Dr.Gullotta."This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
A lot of men think they're unbeatable,"Gullotta says."They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,Geez,if it could happen to him…"
Then there's the ostrich (鸵鸟)approach."Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,"says Dr.Ross Cartmill.
"Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,"Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.
"Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides,the final cost is far greater,it's called premature death."

分析 有数据显示,男性死于皮肤癌的概率是女性的两倍,死于艾滋病的概率是女性的九倍,即使是自然终老,男性一般也要比女性少活五年.究其原因,最重要的一点是,男性不常去医院做身体检查.
解答 56.A 细节理解题.根据第一段第一句"If you're a male and you're reading this,congratulations:you're a survivor."可知,作者恭喜男性读者是因为他们有幸活到了看到这篇文章的时候,故选A.
57.C 细节理解题.根据第二段"but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor"可知,更重要的原因是,男性不经常看医生,故选C
58.D 推理判断题.根据"They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,‘Geez,if it could happen to him,…'"可知,Geez在高尔夫球场倒地死亡,这时,在场的人才会意识到应该去看医生,并说道"如果Geez会发生这样的事情,那么这种事情也有可能发生在我的身上",故选D.
59.B 猜测词义题.根据Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know"可知,Dr.Ross的意思是,一些人害怕自己会被检查出患有某种疾病,于是他们就索性不去看医生,由此可知,"the ostrich approach"的意思是"逃避现实的方法",故选B.
