Doctors have been able to help lessen the pain of ulcers. They could not cure them. Now doctors have discovered a cause of ulcers. This means they may have found a way to cure people who suffer from the stomach pain. Studies show that ten percent of the population will develop an ulcer at some time in their life. So a possible cure is good news for many people. Ulcers are wounds in the stomach that are similar to small cuts or tears. These wounds can harm the tissue in the stomach, the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines. Fluids in the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer. How does a person know he or she has an ulcer? Doctors say most people with ulcers feel a burning pain in their chest or stomach3. This pain often is called heartburn. It usually happens before eating or during the night. It causes some people to lose their desire to eat, or they are unable to keep food in their stomachs. Doctors believed that ulcers were caused by unusually strong stomach fluids, which damaged stomach tissue. Now they have discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacterial organism called Hillico Bactor Pilorie or H Pilorie. H Pilorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra stomach fluid. Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics. Health experts say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs. They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop, stomach cancer. The number of people with stomach cancer is very high in Japan, Southeast Asia and pans of Africa. Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if someone in his or her family has had one. In fact a person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other people. There are ways people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer. Doctors say it is more important to reduce the amount of strong fluids in the stomach. To do this, doctors say, people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. And they say people should reduce tension in their lives.16. In the past, doctors couldnt do anything about stomach ulcers. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned17.

It is considerably higher in urban and industrial areas than in rural districts. There are many possible causes, but it is still controversial which are most blameworthy. Those factors which have been mentioned most frequently are the presence of foreign particles and other irritants in the air (smoke particles, smog, exhaust fumes), and the smoking of cigarettes and cigars. 2 Numerous studies have demonstrated a striking correlation between the death rate from lung cancer and smoking habits. Among heavy smokers - 21 to 30 cigarettes per day - the mortality rate from lung cancer is nearly 17 times the rate from nonsmokers. It is expected the death rate among women will increase as the present high rate of smoking among women has its effect. 3 Sometimes cases of lung cancer are discovered at the time an x-ray is taken for the purpose of detecting tuberculosis. Too often, however, a current emphasis upon the danger of exposure to radiation from X-ray machines can frighten people away from routine chest X-rays and thus prevent an early diagnosis of lung cancer. Early detection is absolutely essential if any possibility of cure is to be maintained. Modern X-ray machines in competent hands pose such slight danger, at least to those over 40 years of age, that this would be much more than offset by the advantages of discovering a tumor while it is small enough to be completely removed. 4 A common form of lung cancer is bronchogenic carcinoma4, so-called because the malignancy originates in a bronchus. The tumor may grow until the bronchus is blocked, cutting off the supply of air to that lung. The lung then collapses, and the secretions trapped in the lung spaces become infected, with a resulting pneumonia or the formation of a lung abscess. Such a lung cancer can also spread to cause secondary growths in the lymph nodes of the chest and neck as well as in the brain and other parts of the body. The only treatment that offers a possibility of cure, before secondary growths have had time to form, is to remove the lung completely. This operation is called pneumonectomy. 5 Malignant tumors of the stomach, the breast, the prostate gland and other organs may spread to the lungs, causing secondary growths. A.

Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometres to the south was ultimately to blame - and the same or worse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Niles annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods. Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablise the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile4. The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analysing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypts Old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been catastrophic for the Egyptians. Changes that affect food supply dont have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies, says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York. Similar events today could be even more devastating, says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically.31. Why does the author mention pyramid builders? A. Because they once worked miracles. B. Because they were well-built. C. Because they were actually very weak. D. Because even they were unable to rescue their civilisation.32. Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible for the fall of the civilisation of ancient Egypt? A. Change of climate. B. Famine. C. Flood. D. Population growth.33. Which of the following statements is true? A. The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile. B. The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile. C. The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile. D. The White Nile and the Blue Nile are branches of the River Nile.34. According to Krom, Egypts Old Kingdom fell A. immediately after a-period of drought. B. immediately after a period of flood. C. just before a drought struck. D. just before a flood struck.35. The word devastating in the last paragraph could be best replaced by A. frustrating. B. damaging.C. defeating. D. worrying.After-birth Depression Blamed for Womans Suicide A new mother apparently suffering from postpartum mental illness fell to her death from a narrow 12th-floor ledge of a Chicago hotel, eluding the lunging grasp of firemen called to help. The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that the mother of a 3-month-old daughter, Melanie Stokes, 41, was said to be suffering from3 a severe form of after-birth depression called postpartum psychosis, an extremely rare biological response to rapidly changing hormonal levels that can result in4 hallucinations, delusions, severe insomnia and a drastic departure from reality. That was a monster in my daughters brain, said Stokes mother, Carol Blocker. The medicine took no effect at all, while her grief was so strong that nothing could make up for it. Im just glad she didnt take her daughter with her. Virtually all new mothers get postpartum blues, also called the baby blues, which are brief episodes of irritability, moodiness and weepiness. About 20 per cent of birthing women experience postpartum depression, which can be triggered by hormonal changes, sleeplessness and the pressures of being a new mother. It is often temporary and highly treatable. But The Tribune said what scientists suspect Stokes was battling, postpartum psychosis, is even more extreme and is considered a psychiatric emergency. During postpartum psychosis - a very real disorder that affects less than 1 percent of women, according to the National Institute of Mental Health- a mother .might hear voices, have visions, feel extremely agitated and be at risk of harming the child or herself. Often the consequences are tragic. In 1987, Sheryl Masip of California told a judge that postpartum psychosis made her drive a Volvo over her 6-week-old son. Latrena Pixley of Washington, D. C. o, said the disorder was why she smothered her 6-week-old daughter in 1992. And last year, Judy Kirby, a 31-year-old Indianapolis mother allegedly suffering from postpartum psychosis, sped into oncoming traffic and plowed into a minivan, killing seven youngsters, including three of her own.36. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of postpartum psychosis? A. Visions. B. Delusions. C. Inflamed breast. D. Serious sleeplessness.37. It was considered fortunate by Stokes mother in the miserable event A. that Stokes had died in a Chicago hotel. B. that firemen had been called to help Stokes. C. that Stokes had been taking the prescribed medicines. D. that Stokes had not taken her daughter with her.38. A patient suffering from baby blues may present briefly one or more of the following symptoms EXCEPT A. having an intention of suicide. B. readily becoming impatient or angry. C. easily changing her moods. D. tending to experience weeping and sadness.39. How many bearing women have experiences of after-birth depression? A. Virtually all of them. B. About one fifth of them. C. Less than one percent of them. D. Not mentioned exactly in the passage.40. Who induced the most serious consequence among the postpartum depression patients mentioned in the passage? A. Melanie Stokes of Chicago. B. Sheryl Masip of California. C. Latrena Pixley of Washington, D.C. D. Judy Kirby of Indianapolis.Controlling the Growing TB Crisis in China China needs to take urgent action to address a vicious cycle of poverty and tuberculosis (TB) affecting a considerable number of Chinese people, especially in underdeveloped areas, the World Health Organization said on Monday. The Chinese government needs to take immediate necessary action to control the spread of TB, which is threatening the future of its 1.3 billion people, WHO said in a report released at the start of a three-day meeting to discuss TB in the Western Pacific region. Poor living conditions and health care in rural China mean the TB infection rate is nearly three times higher than in urban areas, the report said. There are some factors that make the rural TB burden heavier such as insufficient funds for local health programs and increased charges for medical care, it said. This has uniformly produced a negative impact on TB diagnosis and treatment, especially in areas without specific funding targeted towards TB-related services, it said. The report, which is meant to foreshadow the seriousness of the TB crisis in China, suggests that China adopt a two-year program to control the disease. The government should fund free TB drugs and diagnosis, health promotion and training, and supervised treatment programs at all levels, it said. TB control should be considered as a key development issue and poverty reduction strategy, WHO Western Pacific regional director Dr. Shigeru Omi said at the opening of the meeting in Beijing. A World Bank-funded project in 13 of Chinas 31 provinces produced astonishing results, reducing the incidence of TB by 38 per cent in less than 10 years, WHO said. This tremendous achievement tells us that the regional target of reducing the prevalence of TB by half in 10 years, though ambitious, is achievable, Omi said. But TB remains a relentless killer in the Western Pacific region, claiming around 1,000 lives daily in the region - more than half of them in China, a WHO press statement said. The worsening burden of TB has resulted in a great human tragedy and has had a profound impact on economic development in several countries in the
