World of Medicine

The balance challenge

Can you stand on one leg for ten seconds? This question could help doctors assess the overall health of their middle-aged and older patients, argues a Brazilian-led study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. 【1】 During a follow-up period of seven years, the researchers drew the above conclusion after accounting for basic factors like age and sex.

Besides causing falls, poor balance can also signal underlying medical issues, such as declining eyesight or nerve damage caused by diabetes (糖尿病). Much like grasp strength and walking speed, balancing ability doesn’t tell the whole story of your health, but it’s a useful clue.

Don’t remove skin tags and moles yourself.

Two of the most common types of skin spots among adults are dark spots known as moles and the growths known as skin tags. 【2】

In some places, mole- and skin-tag removal kits are sold for home use. 【3】 US FDA recently issued a warning about these kits after receiving reports about consumers who had injured themselves. You’re better off visiting a dermatologist, who are experts in treating skin diseases. Plus, they can perform the all-important screening for skin cancer.

【4】

Researchers from New Zealand recommend a 60-kilogram person consume 110 milligrams of vitamin C per day through a balanced diet, while someone weighing 90 kilograms needs 140 milligrams. That is to say, when taking vitamin C, it’s best to take your weight into account. Eating foods like oranges—which contain on average 70 milligrams of vitamin C each—can really help.

A．Tailor Vitamin C intake to your weight.

B．The subjects who couldn’t perform this had a higher risk of death.

C．Vitamin C supplements are always safe and effective for everyone.

D．Regular exercise can improve your balance and reduce the risk of falls.

E．Both are harmless and don’t require treatment unless their appearance is an issue.

F．But these products can contain a large amount of salicylic acid (水杨酸) and could leave you with permanent scars.

22、   Countries are failing to take the action needed to stave off the worst effects of climate change, a UN climate report has found, and the commitments made in the 2015 Paris agreement will not be met unless governments introduce additional measures as a matter of urgency.

New taxes on fossil fuels, investment in clean technology and much stronger government policies to bring down emissions are likely to be necessary. Governments must also stop subsidizing (补贴) fossil fuels, directly and indirectly, the report said.

Greenhouse gas emissions continued their long-term rise last year, according to the report, but they could be brought under control. There are promising signs, such as investment from the private sector in renewable energy and other technologies to cut carbon, but these are currently insufficient to meet scientific advice.

Global emissions have reached what the UN has called "historic levels" of 53.5 gigatonnes(十亿吨) of carbon dioxide equivalent, and are showing no signs of peaking, despite a leveling off in the past decade.

Joyce Msuya, deputy executive director of UN Environment, said: "The science is clear: for all the ambitious climate action we've seen, governments need to move faster and with greater urgency. We're feeding this fire, while the means to extinguish it are within reach. "

Last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) warned of the dire effects of allowing global warming to reach 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels. The world has a little over a decade to bring down greenhouse gas emissions before such dangerous levels of warming become inevitable.

Only 57 countries, representing 60%of global greenhouse gas emissions, are on track to cause their emissions to peak before 2030.If emissions are allowed to rise beyond that, the IPCC has said countries are likely to breach the 1.5℃ limit, which will trigger sea-level rises, droughts, floods and other extreme weather events.

According to the Paris agreement, the first global pact to bind both developed and developing countries to a specific temperature goal, governments must do all they can to stop warming reaching 2℃ above pre-industrial levels, with an aspiration to limit warming to no more than 1.5℃.

Jian Liu, the chief scientist at UN Environment, said some of the necessary policies were clear and available, if there was political will to implement them. "When governments embrace fiscal(财政的) policy measures to subsidize low-carbon alternatives and tax fossil fuels, they can stimulate the right investments in the energy sector and significantly reduce carbon emissions. If all fossil fuel subsidies were phased out, global carbon emissions could be reduced by up to 10% by 2030."

【1】Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the UN climate report?

A.Governments should stop their subsidy to the coal and petroleum industry.

B.The efforts made by the government showed some promising signs.

C.Man has been breaking the historical records of global emissions.

D.There is still hope for us to control Greenhouse gas emission.

【2】How do you interpret the underlined sentence in paragraph 5?

A.The situation is dangerous and we need to do something to bring it under control.

B.Immediate fire-fighting measures should be taken to keep the fire under control.

C.We are making climate efforts but the achieved effects can be easily reversed.

D.To reduce emissions, we need to close down the fossil-fuel-powered plants.

【3】Which of the following statements is True according to the Paris agreement?

A.It is desirable for humanity to limit the temperature rise within 1.5℃.

B.Countries need to control the temperature rise within 2℃ above prehistoric level.

C.Developed and developing countries are bound by their own temperature goals.

D.Disastrous climate change will be irrecoverable if we exceed the 1.5℃ limit.

【4】What does the word "dire" mean in paragraph 6?

A.upcoming B.hazardous

C.crucial D.convincing

【5】What's the primary purpose of this article?

A.To show a huge gap between words and deeds in fighting global warning.

B.To present a clear picture of how Paris agreement is implemented.

C.To appeal for further global commitment to avoid disastrous climate.

D.To warn of worsening climate caused by lack of combined human effort.

23、8 October,2020

Dear Dr Lisa，

My name is Ann. I am 13 and worried about my weight.I want to be a model,but I store lots of fat in my face,legs and stomach. I look at myself in the mirror,and then go into my room and Cry. I'm scared to talk about it. My parents' comforting words just don't ring true to me. My friends are shocked when they find out how much I weigh. I don't know what to do. I've diagnosed(诊断)myself with BDD(body dysmorphic disorder 躯体变形障碍症),too.

Yours，

Ann

9 October,2020

Dear Ann，

I am worried about your problem.So much worry at 13. That was me, too, hating my body. So I understand a little of how you feel. I was 21 when I got help and I wish I’d got earlier. I wish someone had told me that as you enter the teenage years,your body changes and so does your brain, and that the things troubling you now just won't be problems as you get older.

The way you feel about yourself appears to be about your physical appearance,but it's this self-hatred(自我憎恨) that needs to be worked out. Then you will see your confidence grow.

Since you're in your teenage years,you are very probably not "done growing”,so you needn't diet at this age. Eat healthily and exercise within reason. Being thin or pretty doesn't make you feel better inside.Besides,remember that proper diagnosis of BDD can only come from an expert. Don’t worry about that.

Hope I've helped.

Yours，

Lisa

24、   I am Linda from a small country in Africa. After my first year at Ashesi University, I found an international program available for us students to study abroad. 【1】 After discussing with my family, I decided to spend a semester abroad.

Before I set off to study abroad at University of Leeds in the UK in spring 2019, there was only one thing on my mind--- EXPLORE! I looked forward to exploring different school settings, career interests and potential hobbies. 【2】 My attitude was “try it all”, which led to my semester abroad being my best semester so far in college.

【3】 Besides attending classes, a typical week involved going to rugby practice, volunteering on campus and taking Tango lessons. My weekends were usually spent visiting different places like the zoo, museum or art gallery with my host family.

My experience as a student at Ashesi University had given me hints(窍门) on dealing with life away from home. 【4】 My biggest gain from my time abroad was my strengthened sense of global citizenship.

I made friends from other African countries who were determined to make a change in their home countries.

I went to University of Leeds with my willingness to explore and I left there being more confident and open-minded, with a wider network of friends and tons of great memories. 【5】

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

The term “helicopter（直升机） parents” is a description of parents who are hovering(盘旋) over their children in a state of extreme concern. They always show up to solve their children’s problems, protect them from real or imagined harm, resolve stressful situations, offer advice and get them out of trouble, even if they behave wrongly. Although out of love and concern, it can have harmful effects on their children’s emotional development and future independence.

Children learn through their mistakes. But if you intervene(干涉，介入) at first sign of struggle and finish your child’s homework, he’ll miss out on valuable learning opportunities.

You’re sending him the message that he needs to be perfect and failure is not an option; otherwise you wouldn’t always take over from him.

By constantly rescuing your child from stressful situations, you’re sending him a message that you don’t believe he’s able to take care of himself. Children develop self-esteem(自尊) by learning how to complete challenges on their own. If you are always intervening, he will miss this vital stage in his growth. As a result, your child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school, pursuing hobbies and interests, and developing friendships.

If you’re always taking care of everything for your child, it’ll be more difficult for him to become independent. As an adult, he might find it hard to take care of himself, because he has never developed coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. He might suffer from irrational(不理智的) fears, anxiety and depression, which could lead him to drop out of college or frequently change jobs, according to Dr Michele Borba. Instead of developing healthy relationships, he might seek a partner who will take care of or control him, as his parents did.

You can help your child become more independent by allowing him to complete tasks and challenges on his own without your intervention. Even if he fails at first, don’t interfere(干涉，干预) — encourage him to start again. Show that you have faith in his abilities to succeed without your help. Allow him to learn natural consequences（后果）. Even small things can help him become more independent— making his own bed, preparing his own lunch, shopping for his own clothes and doing homework without your help.
