Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house.A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health.This new theory argues that healing (the process of becoming healthy and strong again) is at our fingertips:we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.

    Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven.They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga,Tai Chi.These waste our time,something that is quite precious in our material world.There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones.We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide.However, there are some “everyday complaints”such as back pains,headaches,which are treated currently with medicine.When you have a headache,you take an Aspirin;when you cannot sleep,you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these.When you use these pills for a long period,you become dependent on them;you cannot sleep without them.We pay huge amounts of money but never get better.How about a safer and more economical way of healing?When doing Reiki to yourself,you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical.Also,there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.

    They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs.They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine.How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take.Actually,instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects,you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life,find an emotional balance,leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.

Some people may still hold that in our material world,everything depends on time.How

would it be possible to find time to do Reiki?In fact,Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time.It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
  __1____Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream(抗生膏)from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?
A team of scientists from Scotland says yes. They've engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.
  _2____Animals make thousands of proteins—they’re the main ingredient in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are not expensive to take care of; what’s more, they need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. “  __3____”says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA—the code that tells cells how to make proteins so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs.  __4____
The scientists altered the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites (蛋清). This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks.  __5____ The scientists need to improve these chickens before they roost (栖息) in drug companies’ labs. The birds don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. But once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine sunny-side up.

A.Medicine comes in lots of different uses.
B.Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories.
C.So far, the Scottish researchers have bred five generations of drug—producing birds.
D.Some chickens are found having the ability of treating diseases.
E. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis(硬化).
F. These drugs are made of molecules called proteins.
G. Medicine comes in lots of different packages.

Scientists Alan M.Goldberg and Thomas Hartung describe recent advances in replacing the use of animals in toxicology(毒物学)testing.Improvements in cell and tissue culture technologies,for example,allow a growing number of tests to be performed on human cells alone.Computer models are becoming increasingly complex and many could one day become more accurate than trials in living animals.

    Since the late 1990s,Huntingdon Life Sciences--a company that conducts testing of substances on animals conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration—has become a proving ground for aggressive strategies by animal-rights militants (好战分子).At a hearing,a Senate.committee listened to testimony(证词) against Huntingdon employees and financial institutions providing services to the company.One experimentation witness at the hearing insisted that any means necessary were justified(辩护) to spare animals’ lives;he has previously accepted the idea of murder to that end.

    Use of animals in testing and in biomedical research continues to be necessary in many instances and is ethically(伦理道德地)preferable to experimenting on humans or giving up cures that could save human lives.But for the sake of people and animals alike,the development and acceptance of animal substitutes deserve enthusiastic support.

    In some instances, substitutes are already thought as good or better than animals,but supervising agencies(监督机构)have yet to catch up.In both the European Union and the U.S.,scientists and companies wanting to use the new alternative tests complain that regulatory standards for proving a drug or chemical to be safe for humans force the continued use of animals.Thus,animal-loving Americans might turn to persuading the EPA and the FDA to speed validation(确认)of new methods so that they can be more widely employed.And animal advocates(保护者) who want to influence business could consider investing in the small biotech’s and large pharmaceutical(药品的) companies that are working to develop alternatives to animals in research.

1._____ plays a leading role in replacing the use of animals in testing.

A.Huntingdon Life Sciences     B.Improvement in technologies

C.Animal-fights militants      D.Scientists Alan and Thomas

2.Accordingly, the animal-rights militants hold the view that_____.

A.animals shouldn’t be used in toxicology testing

B.animals should enjoy equal rights with human beings

C.animals should live wildly and freely

D.we should protect animals from being killed casually

3.From the passage,we can find _____.

A.the use of animals in testing has been stopped abruptly

B.animal substitutes are not preferable

C.supervising standards contribute to the continued use of animals in testing

D.only Huntingdon Life Sciences is accused

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Saving animals and people.

B.The new trend in toxicology testing

C.The use of animals in testing is against human nature

D.New technology changes the fate of animals

5.The writer’s attitude towards replacing the use of animals in toxicology is____.

A.arbitrary(武断的,随意的)  B.pessimistic

C.indifferent(不关心的 )    D.optimistic

 

B

  Fever has usually been regarded as a threat to health.However,no one has actually proved that fever is dangerous.This fact attracted the attention of Matthew J.Kluger.Imagining that fever might not be as harmful as it had been supposed,Kluger set up a series of experiments with lizards(蜥蜴).

  What Kluger and his team did his team did in their first experiment was simple.They put some lizards in a sand-box,one end of which was heated to 44℃,while the other was at a room temperature.It was found that the lizards moved form one part of the box to the other in order to keep a constant temperature of about 38℃.Having shown that normal lizards regulate(调节) their own temperature,Kuger,in a second experiment,then set out to show that lizards,like most other animals,develop fever when infected.This was done by making lizards infected with bacteria (细菌) that were known to cause disease.As the team expected,the infected lizards remained longer in the heated part of the box,until they had raised their body temperatures to two or three degrees above normal.In other words,the sick lizards gave themselves fever.

  In a third experiment,the team observed the effect of temperature on the survival of the lizards.One group of infected lizards was given a fever - suppressing(退烧) drug.The other group was given no drug and ran a fever,that is to say,they kept a highter temperature for four or five days before seeking a cooler environment.The results were impressive.Of those which raised their body temperature,all but one remained alive.Of those given the fever - suppressing drug,more than half died.Similar results have since been produced in other animals.For example,infeced fish swim to warmer water,and will die if not allowed to do so.

  An important conclusion can be drawn from these experiments.As Kluger points out,lizards have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years.It is reasonable to suppose that a response that is so old has been kept by nature for some purpose.It would appear, therefore, that fever does not make disease worse.Rather it its part of the mechanism(机能) by which infection is controlled.

  60.In his experiments,Kluger was hoping to prove that fever ________.

   A.is not harmful to lizards

   B.is not necessarily bad

   C.is necessary for both humans and animals

   D.has the same effect on humans and animals

  61.The lizards put in the sand - box in the first experiment _____.

   A.had a fever B.were not sick C.recovered from disease D.died of heat

  62.In the third experiment,the lizards given a fever - suppressing drug died because _____.

   A.they had no more fever that they needed

   B.they were normal ones and had no fever

   C.the drug had no iffect on sick lizards

   D.the drug made their body temperature too low

  63.How would you understand the underlined words"a response" in the last paragraph?

   A.Gause of disease. B.Recovery from disease.

   C.Relationship between living D.Natural defense in the body against disease.
