Additional information: emergencies There is only one number in America to call

for all emergencies, 911. When you call 911, you are asked if you need the police, the fire department, or an ambulance. For health emergencies, an ambulance is sent to your location and takes you to the hospital’s emergency room.

At the emergency room, a nurse checks on your injury and assigns you a place in line to see the doctor. If you are truly dying, you will see the doctor right away. If you have a cut or a broken arm, you may need to wait. In this way, the doctors are able to try to help the people who most need help. It is important to remember this and try to be patient.

Para 2: There has been a rapid growth in the awareness and use of TCM in Western countries.

Para 3-4: present the reasons for this rapid growth.

Detailed-reading: passage 1

There has been a record of significant interaction between Eastern and Western medical systems for several hundred years. However, the first part of the 20th century was very much a one way flow of information as the developments in Western medicine flooded into China. In Western countries Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was relatively unknown until President Nixon’s groundbreaking visit to China in 1971 and the accounts of the use of acupuncture for pain control appeared in the New York Times.

record: n. 记录 Significant: adj. important or noticeable

until 的用法：用作介词或连词，意为“到……时候为止”、“到……时候才”或“在……时候以前不”。意思关键看谓语动词是终止性还是延续性动词。

谓语动词是延续性动词，用肯定式或否定式所表达的意思有所不同。谓语动词为肯定式，则 until 译为“到……时候为止”。例如：

I watched TV until she came back. 我看电视一直看到她回来。

关于东西方之间医疗制度的重大交流已有几百年的文字记录。但是， 20世纪前半叶大多是信息的单向流动，西医的发展大量涌入中国。在 1971 年尼克斯总统破天荒访华以及《纽约时报》发表关于使用针灸止痛的报道之前，中医在西方国家基本上不为人所知。

II. Reading Comprehension

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression （忧郁症） as young adults. But the extent to which TV may or may not be to blame is a question that the study leaves unanswered.

The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.

As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of 5.5 hours a day. More than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2002, more than 7 percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8 percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.

The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression, given the same amount of media use.

Doctor Primack says the study did not explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility, he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and socializing. It might also interfere with sleep, he says, and that could have an influence.

1.According to the passage, the researchers have found ____________.

A. in what way watching TV causes depressionB. why teenagers like to watch TVC. the relationship between depression and the use

of all forms of mediaD. the relationship between depression and

watching TV

P1: A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression（忧郁症） as young adults.

Sample

A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from poor to worse in the past three years. The number of short-sighted students has increased from 78.2% in 2002 to 92.5% this year, while that of overweight students from 36% to 52.4%. Nearly 10% more students don't have enough sleep because of more homework. Besides, over 15% more students become mentally unhealthy.

To improve students’ health, we call for less homework. Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and be healthier. Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won't easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens removed, students can then keep in normal mental health.

What’s definition of excellent health?

Good health is not something you are able to buy at the drugstore, and you can’t depend on getting it back with a quick visit to the doctor when you’re sick, either. Making your body last without major problems has to be your own responsibility. Mistreating your system by keeping bad habits, neglecting symptoms of illness, and ignoring common health rules can counteract the best medical care.

Nowadays, health specialists promote the idea of wellness for everybody. Wellness means achieving the best possible health within the limits of your body. One person may need fewer calories than another, depending on metabolism. Some people might prefer a lot of easier exercise to more strenuous exercise. While one person enjoys playing golf, another would rather play tennis.

Understanding the needs of your own body is the key. Everyone runs the risk of accidents and no one can be sure of avoiding disease. Nevertheless, poor diet, stress, a bad working environment and carelessness can ruin good health.

By changing your habits and the conditions surrounding you, you can lower the risk or reduce the damage of disease.

healthcare system in the People's Republic of China

Since the founding of the People's Republic, the goal of health programs has been to provide care to every member of the population and to make maximum use of limited health-care personnel, equipment, and financial resources.

The emphasis has been on preventive rather than curative medicine on the premise that preventive medicine is "active" while curative medicine is "passive." The health-care system dramatically improved the health of the people, as reflected by the remarkable increase in average life expectancy.

Although the practice of traditional Chinese medicine was strongly promoted by the Chinese leadership and remained a major component of health care, Western medicine was gaining increasing acceptance. The goal of China's medical professionals is to synthesize the best elements of traditional and Western approaches.

Traditional medicine depends on herbal treatments, acupuncture, acupressure针压 , moxibustion (the burning of herbs over acupuncture points 灸 ), and "cupping"拔罐疗法 .Such approaches are believed to be most effective in treating minor and chronic diseases, in part because of milder side effects.

Traditional treatments may be used for more serious conditions as well; sometimes traditional treatments are used in combination with Western treatments.

The Chinese government still faces a mammoth task in trying to provide medical and welfare services adequate to meet the basic needs of the immense number of citizens spread over a vast area.

Although China‘s overall affluence has grown dramatically since the mid-1980s — per capita income 人均收入 has increased many times over, and caloric intake has become comparable to that for western Europe — a great many of its people live at socioeconomic levels far below the national average.

The health of the Chinese populace has improved considerably since 1949.

Average life expectancy has increased by about three decades and now ranks nearly at the level of that in advanced industrial societies.

Many communicable diseaseshave either been wiped out or brought under control.

As evaluated on a per capita basis, China's health facilities remain unevenly distributed.

Only about half of the country's medical and health personnel work in rural areas, where approximately three-fifths of the population resides.

The doctors of Western medicine, who constitute about one-fourth of the total medical personnel, are even more concentrated in urban areas.

Similarly, about two-thirds of the country's hospital beds are located in the cities.
