12.For years,there has been a bias (偏见) against science among clinical psychologists (临床心理学家).In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science,psychologists led by Timothy B.Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to"provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness"and"give more weight to their personal experiences than to science."As a result,patients have no guarantee that their"treatment will be informed by …science."Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment."The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,"he told me,and"there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science."
The"widening"reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying (确认) the most effective treatments.Thanks to strict clinical trials,we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new,healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression,panic disorder and other problems,with multiple trials showing that these treatments-the tools of psychology-bring more lasting benefits than drugs.
You wouldn't know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist.Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.
Why in the world not?For one thing,says Baker,clinical psychologists are"very doubtful about the role of science"and"lack solid science training".Also,one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have,"and psychologists remember these successes,believing,wrongly,that they are the result of the treatment."
When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science,clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study what works.A 2008study of 591psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues'experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient.If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine,warns Mischel,psychology will"discredit (损伤名誉)itself."
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS)

78.Clinical psychologists can't explain the effectiveness of their treatment mainly because they rely ontheir personal experience.
79.What has widened the gap between clinical practice and science?The great progress in psychological research
80.According to Baker,what are the reasons that prevent clinical psychologists from learning or practicing effective treatment?Their doubt about the role of science and inadequate science training
81.To avoid discrediting psychology,clinical psychologists need tosupport their treatment with science.
13.With the crazy smog going on in China,businessmen are now ready to grope for your wallet."Smog economy"is stimulating a shopping spree on certain products against the terrible weather.Now let's see what we have on the list to help us through the crisis.
1.Masks
Well,I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives.PM 2.5 just surged up to 750 in Beijing recently.3M just sold 220,000 masks of a kind.No.1 best-selling products!
2.Air purifiers
This kind of products is rarely seen in Chinese households in the past.They have become a necessity now.I do like these little gadgets,but they are just too expensive.
3.Oxygen inhalers
I didn't realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy.As a matter of fact,your oxygen uptake has nothing to with relieving (减轻) the impact of smog.It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen.So don't get greedy.
4.Salt lamps
Compared to oxygen inhalers,salt lamps are even worse.Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan,saying that they can release negative ions(离子),reduce radiation levels and purify the air.The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride.The boiling point of sodium is about 800 degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500.So how on earth can negative ions be released at only 500 degrees?
5.Plants that absorb smog
Yeah,right.Plants Vs Smog.It is scientifically justified (证明) that some plants do absorb pollutants from the air.Money plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market.Even if they don't work,it's good to have some plants in the house anyway.

10.Experts from nearly 200 countries have spent the past two weeks in Warsaw,Poland.More than 9,000 representatives gathered for a United Nations conference on climate change.Organizers called the meeting to work toward a treaty(条约)to fight rising temperatures on our planet.The treaty would be signed in 2015 and take effect after 2020.
    In the United States,the Environmental Protection Agency is leading government efforts to fight climate change.The agency just ended a series of public hearings across the country.The EPA was seeking comments as it considers tightening clean air rules for coal burning power plants.
    David Doniger is a climate policy expert.He says it is the duty of the EPA to control carbon as a pollutant.He wants the agency to establish new rules that would move the United States toward a cleaner energy environment.
"No one is coming up with standards that would knock out all those power plants.We're   talking about a shift from the dirtier ones to the cleaner ones,and from all those fossil fuel-powered ones towards renewable and even nuclear sources of energy."
    He says the government is responsible for protecting clean air,not protecting old and dirty  power stations.He says,"That's the only way that we can continue to have the way of life we want without running into the wall on climate change impacts,which in turn will destroy the quality of life we have."
    The EPA is now considering comments from the nationwide hearings.The agency plans to announce proposed rule changes in June.

17.They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water.
    The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that cause them to perform tasks.The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine,as well as encouraging them to eat,drink and sleep regularly.
    The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled.The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples,where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition.By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.
    Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said,"People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life,and dogs help to maintain routine."Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said,"The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.People don't need to communicate verbally (言语地) but they can still interact.You can have a speechless bond."
    Helen McCain,director of Dogs for the Disabled,said,"People with dementia often forget to take the medicine.If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."

Yes.You Can!
Believe in yourself that you can pass the exam.Don't focus on how bad it would be for you if you performed poorly.Instead,focus on how good it would be when you did well.
(37)E.Don't let it get into a panic,though.Just c1ose your eyes and take long slow breaths.Doing so will calm your nerves and help you get back your focus.
Don't Cram for Exams
Research has shown that cramming(临时突击)at the last minute for exerts is not efficient.It only adds more stress to your body and mind for lack of sleep and poor nutrition.

Eat Well and Exercise
Food is energy for the brain,so be sure to eat well.Energy drinks are NOT food.Try brain foods such as bananas,other fruits and foods high in carbon.
Exercise is also a great way to relieve stress.Shooting basketball with friends or working out at the gym will help raise your energy and reduce stress.(40)C
