Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors — or doesn’t it?

　　While such vigilant(警觉的)tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it’s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.

　　In many cases, screening can lead to additional biopsies and surgeries to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups. 

　　It’s hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or prior personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy(预期寿命).

　　A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening- especially considering the explosion of the elderly that will soon swell our population.

　　It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that make sense for the whole patient. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves. We need to think about the rational use of health care and stop talking about the rationing of health care.”

　　That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.

　 Now in a world piled high with smartphones，tablets and e-readers，technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. A11 you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download same Apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient. Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy----and with the following few apps, it'll be tough to tell the two apart.

Evernote

　 Use: note-taking

　 Can be used on：Phone/iPad/iPod touch，Android，BlackBerry，PalmOS and Windows Phone 7

　 Price：free

　 It's hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets (新发明), the eager, studious types would still take out a notepad，pencil，and highlighter-and take notes in class. While it's not an actual planner or calendar App，if you take notes to stay organized，then Evermote is for you. The main thing about Evernate is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上）---and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evermote App or a web browser. Evermote also support audio and photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. But，of course, ask for permission first.

Wikipanion

　 Use：research database

　 Can be used on：iPhone/Pad/iPod touch

　 Price：free（Wikipanion Plus for＄4, 99，or 31．87 yuan)

　 Now，you don't necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore. You can get access to the research databases just on your smartphone or tablet. Wikipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipedia without leaving out any of the site's extra features. The normal links that you'd see to each section of an article no longer on the main screen. Instead，there's a small icon(图示影像) located at the bottom of the app，which can be used to access all the sections of an article. You can also open the links in Safari(苹果)Safari(浏览器）．According to the developers' site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikipanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia site from the iPhone's browses(浏览器). To be honest，we agree.

　　During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another．Understandably so．Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more．But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it's their school work which suffers the most．“After school, if they're busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they'll feel sleepy is in the classroom．Your child needs free time．So if you're filling up that after school time, then it's during the day they're going to be taking a break．”

　　Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there's a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away．“Relaxing time is important for children．It's time just to do the things they want to do．A child can go up to their room, or they can play around．It doesn't look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn't be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day．It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that's gone on that day．”

　　It's hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons．After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that．However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them．“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we're doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill．”So choose your children's activities wisely．It may be one of the best things you've ever done for your kids…and for the family driver!

Do dogs understand us?

　　Be careful what you say around your dog．It might understand more than you think．

　　A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child．Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩)．

　　In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back．In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．

　　In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before．

　　The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法)．A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive．

　　Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed(品种)known for its mental abilities．In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months．

　　It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．Even if they do, they can’t talk back．Still, it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

(1)

[　　]

A．

animals are as clever as human beings

B．

C．

A．

C．

Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D．

Rico won’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them

(3)

Which of the following statements is true?

[　　]

A．

The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie’s mental abilities．

B．

Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training．

C．

The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects．

D．
