Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinion,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A.Make choices that are right for you.
B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D.And examine the findings of the original research.
E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【题目】To forgive (原谅) may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.1

So how do you start the recovering? Try following these steps:

Calm yourself.2 You just take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing.3 So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者).4 Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

5 If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of love. To gain the same feeling, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. There are several ways to forgive and forget.

B. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

C. People who forgive show less stress and feel more energetic.

D. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain.

E. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.

F. To stop your anger, try a simple stress-management technique.

G. Try to see things from the other person’s position.

【题目】阅读理解The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
(1)The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.
A.catch shore birds
B.start an attack
C.protect the children
D.set up a barrier for itself
(2)The bear finally went away after it _______.
A.felt safe
B.got injured
C.found some food
D.took away the camera
(3)The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .
A.pride
B.patience
C.calmness
D.cautiousness
