  (2024·湖南六校高三联考)Getting sick overseas can be scary.You’re in an unfamiliar place and often don’t speak the language.Although each trip is different,there are universal things you can do to keep safe.

  Be prepared.“Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area you’re visiting at least four weeks before your departure,”says WHO public health expert Dr.Gilles Poumerol.A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations(接种疫苗) as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.

  Get insurance.“In many countries where you have limited access to health care,good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive,”Dr.Poumerol says.Plus,in an emergency,returning to the United States can cost more than $50,000.Ask your health insurance company whether your policy applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital.If not,there are many companies that offer short-term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee.A list can be found on the US State Department’s travel website.

  Pack well.Dr.Poumerol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country you’re visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important.Contacts should include the local embassy(使馆),relatives who should be informed if you get sick and your health insurance company.

  Be care.You have to be in charge of your health.If you’re being treated abroad,question the medical staff about their sterilization (杀菌) practices; injection (注射) equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once.Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer.Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety.If your common sense is perfect,the rest of your body should follow.

  (2024·广东肇庆高中毕业模拟考试)Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history.Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive(原始的)humans were closer to the animals because they,too,relied upon their instincts to stay healthy.Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating(减轻)symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound.Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body,magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders.So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual (礼仪) to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.

  One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C.,not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name.Nevertheless,the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice.One of his most famous contributions,the Hippocratic Oath,is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics(道德).Among other things,it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick,keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm,and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.

  Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived(源自于) from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships.In this classic thesis,On Airs,Waters,and Places,Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors:living habits or lifestyle,climate,geography of the land,and the quality of air and food.Interesting enough,concerns about our health and the quality of air,water,and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.

  6.The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in ________.

  A.the first sentence of the paragraph

  B.the second sentence of the paragraph

  C.the third sentence of the paragraph

  D.the last sentence of the paragraph

  7.Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases?

  A.Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.

  B.Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body.

  C.Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.

  D.Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.

  8.Considering Hippocrates’ background,we can see from the second paragraph that ________.

  A.he was the forefather of modern medicine

  B.experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him

  C.he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts

  D.experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived

  9.All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPT________.

  A.helping patients

  B.keeping oneself from harming patients

  C.keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients

  D.obeying rules for modern medicine practice

  10.Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the last paragraph?

  A.Doctor’s concerns remain unchanged.

  B.Medicine comes from nature.

  C.Environment affects health.

  D.Climate determines lifestyle.

  (2024·岳阳一中高三月考)Every person needs energy to go about the day and continue to function correctly.To get this energy,you eat,and your body changes the food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive.Your metabolism (新陈代谢) is directly related to how quickly and efficiently your body creates this energy,and if it takes too long,the food gets stored as fat.A slow metabolism will leave you with less energy and more weight than you probably desire.

  Your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率) is the amount of energy your body consumes while you’re resting.When people say they have a slow metabolism,they mean they have a slow basal metabolic rate.Increasing this number is possible through exercise and muscle building.

  According to Metabolism-Advice.com,as your age,your basal metabolic rate will lower as your body begins to deteriorate (衰退).At the age of 30,your body will stop producing the high levels of growth hormone it previously produces.Your body senses that it’s done growing at 30,so it uses the resources elsewhere.Unfortunately,that means that your muscle will deteriorate more rapidly than before.While you can’t block age’s effects or your metabolism,you can fight against it with regular exercise that builds muscle.
