struck at his home not once but twice The first time he had lost his five year old daughter He and his wife thought they couldn t bear that first loss but as he said Ten months later God gave us another little girl and she died in five days This double bereavement was almost too much to bear I couldn t take it this father told us I couldn t sleep eat rest or relax My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone At last he went to doctors one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip but neither helped He said My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice 大钳子 and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter The tension of grief 悲伤 if you have ever been paralyzed 使瘫痪 by sorrow you know what he meant But thank God I had one child left a four year old son He gave me the solution to my problem One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself he asked Daddy will you build a boat for me I was in no mood to build a boat in fact I was in no mood to do anything But my son is a persistent little fellow I had to give in Building that toy boat took me about three hours By the time it was finished I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking In my case building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring So I determined to keep busy The following night I made a list of jobs that ought to be done Scores of items needed to be repaired Amazingly I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention During the last two years I have completed most of them I am busy so that I have no time for worry No time for worry That is

than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman and nine times more likely to die of AIDS Assuming 3 you make it to the end of your natural term about 78 years for men in Australia you will die on average five years before a woman There are many reasons for this men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly men don t go to the doctor Men aren t seeing doctors as often as they should says Dr Gullotta This is particularly so for the over 40s when diseases tend to strike Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year

lot of men think they are invincible 不可战胜的 Gullotta says They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think Dear me if it could happen to him Then there is the ostrich 鸵鸟 approach Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know says Dr Ross Cartmill Most men get their cars serviced more often than they service their bodies Cartmill says He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check ups Regular check ups for men would inevitably 不可避免地 place stress on the public purse Cartmill says But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases Besides the final cost is far greater 6 Which is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage A Men drink and smoke much more than women B Men aren t as cautious as women in face of danger C Men don t seek medical care as often as women D Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases 7 Which of the following best completes the sentence Dear me if it could happen to him in paragraph5 4 A I should avoid playing golf B I should consider myself lucky C it would be a big misfortune D it could happen to me too 8 What does Dr Ross Cartmill mean by the ostrich approach in paragraph 6 A A new treatment for certain psychological problems B Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved C Unwillingness to find out about one s disease because of fear D A casual attitude towards one s health conditions 9 What does Cartmill say about regular check ups for men A They may increase public expenses B They will save money in the long run C They may cause psychological stress on men D They will enable men to live as long as women 6 9 CDCB 结束 阅读理解 专题训练
