Using the mind to fight diseases

Psychology has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, toget her with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals and research centers, modern methods of therapy see m to focus on the physical disease without considering the patients' mental state. Patients may feel that they are being treated impersonally, like broken machines. S ome doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy with patients to use their own minds to fight their diseases. Because the patient is working with the medicine and the doctors against the disease, his or he r attitude changes. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cur e him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.

Mental therapy

The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient (in this case, a man) changes because of the disease. He is not o nly physically affected, but as the physician knows, he also has an emotional resp onse to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior chang e. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient 's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Car l Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient (in this case, a woma n) has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her s elf-image is poor and she feels self-pity. As a result, her behavior changes. Becau se of her constant depression, she acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctor s, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent the patient from getting well. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change her attitudes. Simonto

n's method emphasizes treatment of the whole patient by treating both the body an d the mind.

The attitude of a cancer patient who is receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray tr eatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psy chological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤）in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hi tting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Si monton might make another suggestion. This patient, with a different kind of cancer, needs to take capsules and pills several times a day. The doctor asks the patient to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the dis eased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying. His or her blood carries aw ay the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.

Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of p sychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves chang e. They become more confident because they use the power within their own mind s to help stop the disease.

Suggestion therapy

Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of sugg estion therapy. Before making the suggestion, the doctor helps the patient to conce ntrate deeply. The patient (in this case, a man)thinks only about one thing. He bec omes so unaware of other things around him that he seems to be asleep. He is s aid to be in a trance （催眠状态）. Then the physician makes "a suggestion" to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance.. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment.

Suggestion therapy helpful for both adults and children

Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with t he strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient(in this c ase, a woman) worries about her illness so much That the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Su ch treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient t o have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fig ht to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.

Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treatin g children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated b y it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent r esults. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less fr equently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also fel t better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

A detailed and thorough research project undertaken by the Open University r ecently reported that their evidence appears to show that competition between near by schools does not significantly improve academic standards. Indeed, their report i nclines to the opposite outcome; the exam results may actually decline where com petition is fiercest.

When the further education sector was " privatized" a few years ago, competiti on between colleges became truly fierce, at least in urban areas where potential st udents could choose between several of them. Colleges appointed highly paid mark eting directors and gave them large budgets; some even "bribed" interested student s with promises of hundreds of pounds if they completed certain courses satisfactor ily.

Fully competitive markets being a philosophical foundation of Britain's recent g overnments, it was no surprise to hear claims that many educational developments of the 1990s would move us towards a free market in secondary education---givin g youngsters and their parents a free choice of where to study. However, the seco ndary sector did not become particularly competitive while, admittedly, the consume rs have been given more information, which is one aspect of a truly free market. It is very rare that two nearby schools with at least some empty places are similar enough to be comparable yet different enough to be rankable; only where that occ urs can there be true competition.

The Open University research was probably not flawed---but its conclusions ar e. This is because the team did not really compare areas having true competition (as just defined) with areas that do not.

But, let us all breathe a sigh of relief. Secondary schools had started of late t o move in the marketing direction----considering allocating scarce resources of staff and money to persuading the pupils that their schools are the best in the area. N o schools could afford to do that properly, so it is a relief to realize this research t ells us we don't have to.

Competition? We haven't got time for it! Let's spend our small budget in teach ing and learning, not in competing and marketing.

57. It is indicated in the passage that competition between schools results in .

A) higher enrollment rate

B) lower academic standard

C) higher marketing expenses

D) privatization of further education

58. Real competition can happen only when .

A) academic standard is improved

B) there are comparable schools with different educational qualities

C) students have different interests

D) schools of all areas have sufficient budget for their development

59. According to the passage, the free market in secondary education .

A) only provides consumers with more information

B) is more competitive than the higher education market

C) means there will be more intensive competition than in colleges

D) is a real surprise to Britain's recent government

60. The author of the passage feels relieved that .

A) secondary schools have to market themselves

B) most secondary schools have scarce resources of staff and money

C) the research by Open University proves that most secondary schools are t he best in its area

D) schools needn't prove that they are the best

61. What might be the author's attitude towards competitions between nearby schools?

A) The author is in favor of various kinds of competition.

B) The author is indifferent to any competition and its result.

C) The author is not certain of the effect of competitions.

D) The author is against inter-collegiate competitions.

Passage 2

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

Going online is a favorite recreation for millions of American children. Almost1 0 million (14 percent) of America's 69 million children are online. The Internet both entertains and educates children, however, there are some possible negative cons equences for children who access kid-based Web sites. Advertising on kid-based W eb sites has become both a rapidly growing market for consumer companies and a concern for parents. With a click on an icon, children can link to advertisers and be granted tremendous spending power. Children are an important target group for consumer companies. Children under age 12 spent $14 billion, teenagers another $67 billion, and together they influenced $160 billion of their parents' income.

Many critics question the appropriateness of targeting children in Internet adver tising and press to require that children be treated as a "special case" by advertise rs. Because children lack the analytical abilities and judgment of adults, they may be unable to evaluate the accuracy of information they view, or understand that the information they provide to advertisers is really just data collected by an advertiser. Children generally lack the ability to reject the release of personal Information to a n advertiser, an even greater problem for children when they are offered incentives (刺激)for providing personal information, or when personal information is required b efore they are allowed to register for various services. Children may not realize tha t in many cases these characters provide hotlinks directly to advertising sites.

The Internet does present some challenges for advertisers who want to be eth ical in their

marketing practices. Many advertisers argue that we underestimate（低估）the l evels of media

awareness shown by children. By the age of seven or eight most children can recognize an advertisement and know that its purpose is to sell something and ar e able to make judgments about the products shown in advertisements. However, t his somewhat optimistic and decidedly libertarian view of children runs aground wh en we realize that they are (like a surprising number of adults) unable to judge ac curately between entertainment and advertising. Adults can fend for themselves but, as marketers, we should be explicit（明确的）about our purpose when advertising to children on the Internet.

62. According to the first paragraph, children as an Internet market .

A) are becoming increasingly rational

B) are using Internet at an earlier and earlier age

C) have created a growing advertising market

D) are overtaking the adult market due to their spending power

63. Targeting children for advertising is controversial because children .

A) are unable to analyze and judge advertisements

B) are unable to cooperate since they are too young

C) often give off information that may be dangerous to them.

D)are not ready to evaluate advertisements or information requests

64. Many advertisers defend the targeting of children because .

A) no actual sales take place

B ) it is up to parents to monitor their children

C) children understand what an advertisement is trying to do

D)children are provided a game in return for the information

65. One reason why children are unable to resist giving personal information o n the Internet is that .

A) they feel they must follow an adult's orders

B) it is presented in connection with entertainment

C) they do not know that the information is going to be read by someone

D) due to their inability to distinguish an advertisement from a non-advertisem ent

66. In the passage the author wants his marketers to understand that .

A) advertising to children must stop

B) a libertarian view in advertising is unethical

C) advertising to children must have a clear purpose

D) children must be treated differently when advertising

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

大学英语四级模拟题一 Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10%) Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Media Selection for Advertisements After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail. Television Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it. Television’s influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous（具有共同特点的）than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers. Newspapers After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation（发行量）by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium. Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to their audience than they can through television. Given new production techniques, advertisements can be printed in newspapers in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community, and they
