My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would 36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 37 way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that 40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to 41 to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is 42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 44 by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d 45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 46 done. I will continue to share 47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 48 my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this 54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan

I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. What set him so far apart from others?

Hethat, in his opinion, it all came from anfrom his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old. He had been trying toa bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his on the slippery(光滑的) bottle and it , making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead ofat him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what an(a)and wonderful mess you have made! I haveseen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like todown and play in the milk for a fewbefore we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and restore everything to its proper. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you?” He chose the sponge and together theyup the milk.

His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is aexperiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’sout in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you cana way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boythat if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

This scientist thenthat it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make.

Do you remember the game “Telephone”? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted(曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have “business” with other family members to take it up directly.

When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as ‘triangulation”. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, “Tell your father to pass the salt”, which may be answered by, “Tell your mother to get her own salt.” In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed.

Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Gordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Gordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn’t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, “Tell him/her yourself!”

You’ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there’s rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created.

The underlined words “foul things up” in the 1st paragraph means ________.

A. create things B. improve things C. remove things D. ruin things

“Triangulation” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _________.

A. the process of sending messages through a 3rd person

B. the middleman who becomes severely disturbed

C. the tension in a relationship between 2 people

D. the argument between a mother and a father

Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that _______.

A. family members should learn to get their messages across directly

B. parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment

C. children can hardly get used to their parents’ troubles

D. children should refuse the requests of their parents

根据短文的内容，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。

If you think you’ve gained too much weight or are too skinny, you can talk to a doctor. Your doctor will tell you 1. ______________.

If it is concerned about your height, weight, or BMI (体重指数), your doctor may ask questions 2. ______________. Your doctor may also ask about your family background to find out if you’ve received something from your parents that might make you taller, shorter, or a late bloomer (someone who develops later than other people of the same age). The doctor can then put all the information together to decide 3. _____________.

If your weight isn’t in a healthy range, you will probably get specific diet and exercise recommendations based on your individual needs. Following a doctor’s or dietitian’s plan designed especially for you will work much better than following fad (时尚) diets. For teens, fad diets or starvation plans can actually slow down growth, and the weight loss usually doesn’t last.

What 4. ______________? Most teens who weigh less than other teens of their age are just fine. They may be going through puberty on a different schedule than kids of the same age, and their bodies may be growing and changing at a different rate. Most underweight teens catch up in weight as they finish puberty during their later teen years so there’s rarely a need to try to gain weight.

In a few cases, teenagers can be underweight because of a health problem that needs treatment. If you feel tired or ill a lot, or 5. ____________, or other problems that have lasted for more than a week or two, be sure to let your parents or your doctor know.

A．whether you might have a weight or growth problem.

B．if you have symptoms like a cough, stomachache

C．about your health, physical activity, and eating habits

D．if you’re worried about being too skinny
