cases happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths
are preventable with basic medical care.
The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad
abortions (流产). Mothers" deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago
in developed countries.
Experts say that what kill many women are "the three delays", the woman"s delay in deciding
to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital"s delay in starting treatment.
Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)．
Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws may decide
where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no
single solution to a problem with so many factors shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment,
roads and transportation-though hospital officials are trying many things now.
One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical
officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more
assistants and midwives(接生婆), and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.
But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital.
More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle
emergencies.

Is there anything more important than health? I don"t think so. "Health is the greatest wealth," wise
people say. 1 .
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad
cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your
heart and lungs, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. 2 . The only thing you have to do is to
follow his advice.
3 .
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there
was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good
rest. 4 . In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat at pleasure, drink with measure
and enjoy life as it is. " The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn"t smoke
more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor"s office. 5 . He thanked the doctor and said tha
t he had never felt a healthier man.
"But you know, doctor," he said, "it"s not easy to begin smoking at my age"

the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between
exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Oregon Health and
Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can
make blood vessels(管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron
claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, "While we already know
that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain."
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities
that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who
are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes,
a pediatrician(儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities
that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as
babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection
between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical
activity with higher learning," says Margaret.
Older people can beef up their brains as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of
seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase
of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very
difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants (婴儿), exercise
for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions, such as with
yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long
time.
For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal
is to increase the brain"s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise
a week.
B. How exercise helps the brain
C. How to get good scores on a test
D. How the brain can change
B. The brain needs special mental exercise.
C. The more exercise, the bigger the brain.
D. Physical exercise helps us think better.
B. It can be done in groups.
C. It does not increase the heart rate.
D. It includes learning new motions.
Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a man to
the moon, why can"t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually
hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn"t a cure
for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and
cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can"t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the
virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your
wonderful body is doing every- thing it can to kill the cold.
Different people have different cures for Colds. In the United States and some other countries, for
example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves" feel better. Some people take hot baths and
drink warm liquids (流汁). Other people take medicine to stop Various symptoms (症状) of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note" some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is
actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn"t have a way to fight it and kill
it.
Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don"t take medicine, but it takes only seven days
to ~et over a cold if you take medicine.

| Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药),damaging eyesight, judgement and coordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected. Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee. The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is: ● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or ● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or ● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液). Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested. Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 drivingoffence points; or temporarily banned from driving. The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse. Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol. 1. The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A. the introduction of driving skills B. the damage of drinking to your body C. the effect of drinking on driving D. the process of alcohol being absorbed 2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to "________". A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving. B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice. C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body. D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit. 4. A driver suspected of drink driving________. A. should provide specimens for testing B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years C. will be punished for 10 drivingoffence points D. should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000 |
