We thought we could 36 for it by volunteering for a couple of rescue organizations here in the Middle East. Then Rustys sad little face appeared on the 37 lists and we both just gave in. He was ours 38 we even met him. We just knew it. Rusty was a year old when he came to us. He was extremely 39 and blind in one eye with missing teeth from a violent 40 he had encountered (遇到) some time in his short life. He was also 41 to straighten his back legs fully, probably from being 42 in a cage far too small for him.I sat on the floor of the foster carers lounge and Rusty came right up to me and 43 down with his head on my knee. It was a(n) 44 moment. His carer had not seen him 45 someone so completely before. We fell in love with him, took him home and set about 46 him into a happier animal. The first thing we had to do was 47 out what scared him. The answer was simple enough: 48 scared him. I think he was so 49 to bad things happening to him he just figured he lived in a world where only bad things happened. One of the things that really scared him was 50 , so I began making him less sensitive by giving him a stomach rub with my foot every time I passed. It took a while, 51 he soon came to realize that he would never be 52 again and took to rolling onto his back and wagging his tail to let me know that he was up for a rub. If I didnt, he would 53 me to my writing desk and crawl under it, gently touching and pushing me to get my attention at my foot until he got what he wanted!Treating animals with dignity brings back memories of the best part of human 54 . Every time I interact with Rusty and our other rescued pets. I am 55 that they have nothing to offer but love and trust. There is no agenda on their behalf, other than to trust that I will do my best for them. 36. A. makeB. compensateC. goD. prepare37. A. waitingB. shoppingC. dangerD. adoption 38.

But based on new recommendations, adults who are 60 or older can wait until their readings reach 150 over 90 or above to begin medication. After reviewing available evidence on the effects of blood pressure treatments, the Institute of Medicines Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) concluded that aggressive treatment can lead to lightheadedness, falls and fainting in elderly populations so they advised loosening the guidelines for starting medication. But days after the guidelines were published, heart experts raised concerns about how the advice would affect patients; inadequately controlled blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Members of the JNC8 who voted against the recommendations published an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine outlining their reasons for opposing the change. “We, the panel minority, believed that evidence was insufficient to increase the target goal from its current level because increasing the goal may cause harm by increasing the risk for CVD（心血管疾病）and partially undoing the remarkable progress in reducing cardiovascular mortality in Americans older than 60,” they wrote. Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum said she has not changed the way she treats her patients over 60. She says,“As a preventive cardiologist（心脏病学家）, these new guidelines have made me crazy. What we have learned is that blood pressure treatment even for a patient above 80 has been shown to be critical. It goes against everything we know as cardiologists.” Defending the panels decision, Dr. Paul A. James, co-chairman of the guidelines committee, said in an email to TIME, “I can assure you that the panel discussed the opinions of the minority members on three different occasions and the majority were not persuaded that the expert skills of a few members should override the scientific evidence.” James said that as with any medications, doctors will use the blood pressure recommendations as guidelines, and prescribe drugs based on their evaluation of each patient. “Medications prescribed by physicians all have the potential to be dangerous,” he wrote. “Educating doctors about the scientific evidence will help doctors make better decisions with patients. Physicians who practice on the basis of scientific evidence usually subscribe to simple rule if the medicine cannot be shown to help the patient, then the medicine should not be prescribed.” The editorial isnt likely to change them any time soon. But the concerns should urge doctors to monitor their patients more closely and tailor medications and their doses more carefully.Doctors are fighting over blood pressure guidelines* (81) _treatment can cause lightheadedness, falls and fainting in elderly populations.* Its officially (82) _ that adults of 60 or older start medication only when their blood pressure reaches 150
