wisegeek? its one of the most common questions we receive. we are a team of researchers, writers and editors providing short, clear and concise answers to common questions. currently, there are over 200 active contributors; you can read some of their profiles (档案) below. catherine has been involved with wisegeek since the beginning of 2006. currently, she mainly manages our writers and editors and deals with visitors about their comments and questions. what she loves most about wisegeek is learning more details about the things you kind of know about, and learning about things you never knew existed! some articles she particularly enjoyed include what is a trekkie? what is a wormhole?she comes to wisegeek with a degree in political science from the university of california, berkeley. while her time is mostly filled with working for wisegeek, she can also be found trying to squeeze in trips whenever she can, usually to europe. bronwyn began working for wisegeek as an editor, and though she continues to write and edit, she also puts her natural curiosity to work by thinking of new article topics. bronwyn loves questions nearly as much as she loves answers! bronwyn has a degree in psychology from uc davis, and a teaching credential from csu sacramento. she is a primary school teacher and artist. there are few things she loves more than her dog, solomon, her leopard, tiger, and good chocolate.in addition to writing the questions and editing the answers, bronwyn has also written a few for wisegeek, including, what is an owl pellet?, and can i really make yarn out of my dogs fur?johnny is the expert behind the scenes at wisegeek. like most of the wisegeek team, johnny works with language; but unlike our writers and editors, johnnys languages are php and sql. he ensures that the website remains accessible and the pages load fast. johnny has a masters degree in computer science; in addition to applying his skill to wisegeek, he also teaches programming classes at a technical school.“programming for wisegeek is a challenge, but not getting distracted (分心) and educated by the content on the site, is even harder.”when johnny is away from his computer, he likes playing the guitar; when hes even farther away, he enjoys hiking.carolyn joined wisegeek as a part-time editor in april 2009, and now works full time hiring new writers, responding to questions from readers, and doing whatever else needs to be done. she comes to wisegeek after more than six years working as an online news producer. although still a bit of a news junky, carolyn really appreciates no longer being woken at 3 a.m. on sunday morning to deal with breaking news. she has a degree in history from oberlin college, and spent two years studying mass communications at the university of texas-austin.in her spare time, carolyn loves to read, cook, and sew. she also watches more tv than is good for anyone. 46. what can we safely infer about wisegeek according to the profiles?a. it

risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age. so it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesnt it? while such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. with the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. in many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients remaining years. but the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups. its hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. and clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. but for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy. a recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screeningespecially considering the explosion of the elderly. its not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. dr. otis brawley said, “many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. we need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”50. routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because _. a. it is believed to contribute to a long lifeb. it is part of their health care packagec. they are more sensitive about the healthd. they are in greater danger of tumor growth51. how do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?a. it adds too much to their medical bills.b. it helps increase their life expectancy.c. they are doubtful about necessity.d. they think it does more harm than good. 52. what is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?a. it applies to women over 50.b. it is a must for adult women.c. it is intended for young women.d. it doesnt apply to women over 74. 53. why do many doctors advise routine screening for cancer?a. they want to protect themselves against medical disputes. b. they want to take advantage of the medical care system. c. they want data for medical research. d. they want their patients to suffer less. 54. what does the writer say is the general view about health care?a. the more, the better.b. prevention is better than cure.c. better early than late.d. better care, longer life. ddear guys, id like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. let me first refresh your memory: you, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. i, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.one of you approached and asked politely if i would throw the ball back to you. fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, i reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.before i continue, let me explain something that i didnt have a chance to mention last night: i hate sports. more specifically, i hate sports involving balls. this results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. im bad at aiming too. so you can understand why id be nervous at what im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request. however, wanting to appear agreeable, i put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, threw it as hard as i could. it hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.trying to act casually, i said something about being out of practice, then picked up the ball again. if youll remember, at your command, i agreed to try throwing underhand. while outwardly i was smiling, in my head, i was praying, oh god, oh please oh please oh please. i threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.the ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.this is the point where i start to take issue with you. wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? i
