  Scientists say they were able to reduce the effect of the AIDS with a drug first designed to treat other conditions.AIDS damages the protection system so the body cannot fight viruses inside the body.At present, medicines can reduce HIV to levels low enough to keep people alive.But these drugs are not a cure.Small amounts of the virus still remain in human’s body.If it wakes up again, the virus can become active and begin to copy itself, so people must continue to take medicine.

  A new study has been carried out on four patients.They had already taken medicine for more than two years.The researchers first improved the effect of the drug.Then in addition, they gave the patient another one, valproic acid(丙戊酸).Valproic acid is used to help epilepsy(癫痫病)patients.Some people with depression(抑郁症)also take the drug to calm themselves down.

  But valproic acid has also been shown to block something that helps HIV, the AIDS virus, to hide.The patients took the medicine twice a day for three months.

  Over this time, the researchers say the amount of the virus was reduced by nearly seventy-five percent in three of the four people.But the numbers returned to earlier levels when the treatment ended.

  Valproic acid has some serious dangers, especially for women who will soon give birth.Doctor Margolis says more study is needed into its use against AIDS.But the scientists do say that their early finding suggests that new methods will produce a cure of HIV in the future.Some other scientists, however, say it is too early to talk of cure for a virus that is so difficult to destroy.They say a cure would have to make the patients healthy again and the virus might not hide only in the protection system.

Does this sound familiar? It’s 3:00 am and you’re still awake and staring at the

clock. You can’t sleep , and you’ve already tried all the familiar tricks – taken a warm bath , drunk a glass of heated milk ,tried counting sheep, and read a book –all with no success. If you are such a sufferer, remember you’re not alone. Experts said that one in every four Americans have trouble falling or staying asleep.

   Lack of sleep can hurt your quality of life in so many ways. Short temper, impatience, poor decision-making, and mood swings are common among those with sleeping problems.

Other sleep aids may seem like a quick fix, but it turns out that there are many disadvantages of these drugs. For one thing, they may require expensive, time-consuming trips to your physician. They may also be habit-forming or have unpleasant side effects like dizziness( 眩晕) dry mouth, and next-day sleepiness. Plus , they become less effective over time.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  We can stay young forever.That is the message Dr.Shen Ziyin wants to give the world.And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.

  His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.

  Dr.Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine.At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine.And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging.He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.

  According to Shen, it is the kidney(肾脏)which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process.It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through.Studies conducted by Dr.Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.

  We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others.This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells.These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas.Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.

  So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body.This can happen if people eat low calorie food.Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells.But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?

  This is where Dr.Shen's herbal medicine comes in.But how effective it will be, only time can tell.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

  One of the best-known proverbs must be “early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” The promises of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirers and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the Unites States $ 200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people; and it appears that in many places more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.

  Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent yeas. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Keneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious they have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards: of the hard and tiring marathons (马拉松) that are sponsored (发起) all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon.

  Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?” A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, “Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes.”

1.The first paragraph indicated that medical workers ________.

[  ]

A.are in great demand

B.make a lot of money

C.are concerned with their won health

D.like sports more than ordinary people

2.In the United State medical treatment is ________.

[  ]

A.very effective
B.cheap
C.insufficient
D.expensive

3.Aerobics is a book about ________.

[  ]

A.medicine
B.driving
C.exercise
D.marathon

4.The examples of conversation in the last paragraph are used ________.

[  ]

A.to prove that people are tired of old conversation

B.to prove that the writer was a good runner

C.to show people's interest in exercise

D.to show the writer's love for travel
