As we have seen,the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,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（有营养的）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,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 body's special needs.Both types have simply been called "well".In recent years,however,some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "weilness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body's condition.Most importantly,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 weilness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.

What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
A: To criticize the traditional view of the medical care.
B:To compare the differences between the modern medical care and the traditional medical care.
C:To tell us the change of the focus of medical care.
D:To tell us the importance of the medical care.

Most Adults in U.S.Have Low Risk of Heart Disease
More than 80 percent of U .S.adults have a less than 10-percent risk of developing heart dis- ease in the next 10 years,according to a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiolo-gy（心脏病学）.Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds 20 percent.
“I hope that these numbers will give physicians,researchers,health policy analysts,and others a better idea of how coronary（心脏冠状动脉的）heart disease is distributed in the U. S. population ,” lead（带头的）author Dr. Earl S. Ford , from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta,said in a statement.
The findings are based on analysis of data from 13,769 subjects,between 20 and 79 years of age , who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition（营养的供给）Examination Sur- vey from 1988 to 1994.
Overall,82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent,15 percent had a risk that fell between 10 to 20 percent and 3 percent had a risk above 20 percent,
The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age,and men were more likely than women to be in this group. By contrast, race or ethnicity（种族划分）had little effect on risk distributions.
Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10-year risk of heart disease,a large proportion have a high or immediate risk,Dr. Daniel S .Berman,from Cedars-Sinai Medi- cal Center in Los Angeles,and Dr. Nathan D.Wong,from the University of California at Irvine, note in a related editorial.
Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed to shift the overall population risk downward,they add.

Which of the following statements is NOT right?
A:The 10-year risk of heart disease is low for most U.S.adult.
B: Elderly people have a higher risk of heart disease than younger people.
C: Women have a higher risk of heart disease than man.
D: The distribution of the risk of heart disease are hardly related to race.

Cheating is when a person misleads,deceives,or acts dishonestly on purpose.For kids,cheating may happen at school,at home,or while playing a sport.A new study finds that most high school students say they have cheated on tests and homework.
This study showed that 89 percent said glancing at someone else's answers during a test was cheating,but 87 percent said they'd done that at least once.Also,94 percent said providing answers to someone during a test was cheating,but 74 percent admitted to doing it.
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.You can do it by sneaking answers to a test,but it's also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn't. When people cheat,it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or contest. If students today want to cheat,they have a more insidious tool at their disposal:cellphones.More than one third of teens with cellphones admit to having stored information on them to look at during a test or texting friends about answers.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason"for cheating,cheating isn't a good idea. Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught.Whether they are caught or not,these kids may feel guilty,or embarrassed,or ashamed,or all three.Teachers can ban cell phones in exams and principals can suspend or expel students who cheat,but it's important to know if students continue to cheat they will have a lot of problems in the future.

What do the statistics in the second paragraph indicate?
A:Most students are honest.
B:Cheating in school is a serious problem.
C:In a test,providing answers to others is more serious than glancing at people's answers.
D:Tests are difficult.

More About Alzheimer' s Disease

Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer's
disease and may ultimately allow physicians to predict who is at risk of getting this neurological
（神经病学的）disorder.
The only current means of diagnosing the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of
tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.
"Since Alois Alzheimer described the disease nearly a century ago,people have been trying to find a
way to accurately diagnose it in its early stages,"said Patricia Grady,acting director of the National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda,Maryland."This discovery,if confirmed,could prove a big
step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease."
Alzheimer's is the single greatest cause of mental deterioration in older people,affecting between 2.5
million and 4 million people in the United States alone.The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and
the ability to function,and eventually causes death. There is currently no known treatment for the disease.
Researchers discovered that the skin cells of Alzheimer's patients have defects that interfere with their
ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells.The fact that the cell defects are present in the
skin suggests that Alzheimer's results from physiological changes throughout the body,and that dementia may
be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects affect the cells in the brain,scientists said.
The flow of potassium is especially critical in cells responsible for memory formation.The scientists also
found two other defects that affect the cells' supply of calcium,another critical element.
One test developed by researches calls for growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing
them with an electrical detector to determine if the microscopic tunnels that govern the flow of potassium are
open.Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.
A spokesman for the Alzheimer's Association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be
proven it would be an important development,but he cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer's
have been disappointing.

The last paragraph implies that the diagnostic test________.
A:will not be as promising as others
B:is a very important development
C:may not be proven valid smoothly
D:will surely be disappointing in the end
