thing However there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt In the early 16th century people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths By 1538 the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom So did the king of England in 1546 Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way Henry IV King of France was famously dirty Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath the king ordered that to avoid the attack of disease the nobleman should not go out Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long lived dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century Scientifically speaking cleaning away dirt is good to health Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease Yet it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea clothes need to be whiter than white cloths ever softer surfaces to shine Has the hate for dirt however gone too far 5 Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays Many first time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt which might be responsible for the spread of disease On the contrary Mary Ruebush an American immunologist 免疫学家 encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system And the latter position is gaining some ground 64 The kings of France and England in

stress the role of dirt B To introduce the history of dirt C To call attention to the danger of dirt D To present the change of views on dirt 答案 CA CD 结束 6 阅读下列短文 从每题所给的选项 A B C D 中 选出最佳选项 A A It is obvious that doctors recognize obesity 肥胖 as a health problem So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it The results of two surveys one of primary care physicians and the other of patients found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so they often don t know what to say So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight the conversation often ends there said Christine C Ferguson director of the Stop Obesity Alliance Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes a kind of disease she said And doctors don t feel they have good information to give They felt that they didn t have adequate tools to address this problem The lack of dialogue hurts patients too The patient survey of over 1 000 adults found that most overweight patients don t even know that they re too heavy Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight Of those who were told they were obese 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight the survey found In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past and many are still trying the survey found And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity related diseases like hypertension and diabetes Dr William Bestermann Jr medical director of Holston Medical Group in Kingsport Tenn which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem If you re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress and find something to encourage them and coach them he said He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic 7 Part of this is that there s this common belief and doctors are burdened by it too that overweight people are weak willed and just don t have any willpower and are self indulgent and all that business he said If you think that way you re not going to spend time having a productive conversation 1 What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3 A An organization of doctors specializing in obesity B An organization of patients suffering from obesity C A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people D A research group dealing with doctor patient relationship 2 How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight A About 350 B About 390 C About 900 D About 1 000 3 What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5 A They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are B Most of them have tried hard to lose weight but in vain C Without their doctors constant coaching there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight D Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy 4 According to the passage which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients A Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem B Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight C Most patients are too weak willed to do anything about their weight D Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem X K 5 Which of the following is the best title of the passage 8 A Obesity in the U S B Trouble of overweight Americans C Talk more help better D
