is believed to contribute to long is part of their health care elderly are more sensitive about their elderly are in greater danger of tumor do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?

want to protect themselves against medical want to take advantage of the medical care want data for medical want their patients to suffer does the author say is the general view about health care? more, the is better than early than care, longer 答案 elderly are in greater danger of tumor are doubtful about its is a must for adult want to protect themselves against medical more, the better.【點評】這是一篇有關癌癥篩查的文章。長期以來，人們認為對于老年人來說，隨著年齡的增長，腫瘤生長造成的威脅就越大，所以醫生建議他們進行各類常規的癌癥篩查。但是近來，研究者開始懷疑它的必要性。當他們開始叫停50歲以下和74歲以上的婦女的乳腺癌篩查時，受慣例根深蒂固影響的人們掀起了軒然大波。不過，對于老年人來話說，癌癥的風險還要和預期壽命進行權衡。近期的調查還顯示很多醫生讓病人進行癌癥篩查純粹是為了在醫療事故中保護自己，所以這篇反對了人們長期以來的對健康檢查的誤解，即健康檢查并非多多益善。Part V ClozeStrong emotional bonds between mothers and infants increase children’s willingness to explore the world—an effect that has been observedthe animal kingdom, in people, monkeys and even more secure we are in ourto Mom, the more likely we are to try new things and take researchers are discovering that this effect continues into reminder of Mom’s touch or the sound of her voice on the phone isto change people’s minds and moods，
