preventing diseaseespecially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behavior, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. the line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels ok but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts(血细胞计数), but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. this person is not ill. he may not even be at risk for any particular disease. but we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.the field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the bodys special needs. both types have simply been called “well.” in recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. people who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their bodys condition. most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. people who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. and by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. 72. today medical care is placing more stress on _.a. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionb. monitoring patients body functionsc. removing peoples bad living habitsd. ensuring peoples psychological well-being73. in the first paragraph, people are reminded that _.a. good health is more than not being illb. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulc. regular health checks are essential to

able to handle his daily routinesd. is free from any kind of disease75. according to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people _.a. to best satisfy their bodys special needsb. to strive to maintain the best possible healthc. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthd. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure【参考答案】72-75 cadbdirections: read the following three passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.【2013黄浦区】(a) most people who live in seattle, washington, love their city. there is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. but, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months. it is a documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. it also affects how we perform at school or work. when people are deprived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. no major city in the united states is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than seattle.to fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, steve murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. the indoor sun shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of seattles winter. his shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder. located in fremont, washington, the indoor sun shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic (奇异的) plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. at the indoor sun shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. it will also keep your plants healthy. you can buy a dawn simulator(模拟器) that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. what better way to meet a seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought!murphys in-home
