Many Older Doctors Plan to Phase out Their Practice

The results of a new survey indicate that 48 percent of physicians between 50 and 65 years of age are planning to reduce or end their clinical practice in the next 1 to 3 years. The findings also suggest that many older physicians believe that their younger counterparts do not have the work ethic they do.

The survey, which was conducted by Merritt Hawkins&Associates, a Texas-based physician search and consulting finn, suggests that many older physicians are simply unhappy with the chan- ges that have taken place in medicine over the years.

"When Baby Boom doctors entered medicine they had control over how they practiced and the fee they charged. But the rules changed on them in mid-stream and now many are looking for a ticket out, "Mark Smith,executive vice president of merritt hawkins&Ass0ciates,said in a statement.

"our study is the only one I am aware of that examines the career plans 0f physicians in the50 -65 age group. "This age group represents more than one-third of all physicians in the U. S. If they stop working in the coming years, it will have a "significant impact" on the overall supply of physicians, Smith told Reuters Health.

The results of the survey,which included 1,170 respondents(调查对象) ,show that 24 per- cent of older physicians are planning to leave clinical practice all together in the next 1 to 3 years. Specifically,14 percent said they were planning on retiring,7 percent said they were looking for a medical job a non-patient care setting, and 3 percent said they were seeking a job in a non-medi- cal field.

For those physicians not leaving clinical practice, many said they would make changes to re- duce the number of patients they treat. For instance,12 percent said they would begin working part-time,8 percent said they planned to stop taking new patients or markedly reduce their patient load, and 4 percent expressed a desire to work on a temporary basis.

When asked about the work ethic of physicians entering practice today,68 percent of the re- spondents said that these younger doctors are not as dedicated or as hard working as physicians who entered practice 20 to 30 years ago.

Fifty-seven percent of older physicians said they would not recommend medicine as a career to their own children. Similarly,44 percent said they would not select medicine as a career if they were starting out today.

"The most ominous(不祥的 )finding is that about one half of physicians surveyed plant to ei- ther abandon patient care in the next 1 to 3 years, or significantly reduce the number of patients they see. "Smith said. "The U. S. already is facing a widespread shortage of physicians, should ol- der, &39; workhorse&39;physicians choose to opt out of patient care access to medical services will be fur- ther restricted.

Which is NOT true of physicians in the 50 -65 age group in the U. S ? 查看材料

A.They are mostly baby boomers

B.They have nothing to complain about

C.Many of them plan to gradually stop their practice

D.They account for over one-third of all physicians in the country

阅读材料,回答题:

Do bring about greater competition

About eight million school-age children are home alone after school. These are the hourswhen the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alco-hol, tobacco, and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or twountil aparent comes home, and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk ofpoor grades and risky behaviors.

Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors amongyouths. One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less vio-lence even in poor neighB.orhoods.

After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities tochildren and youths during their out-of-school time. In addition to helping youths make use of af-ter-school hours, after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relation-ships with adults. Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults,as well as good use of time, are very important for healthy development in youth.

After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends&39; houses and playb.asketd.all when a parent or other responsible adult is at home. The programs can also be helpfulfor formal after-school activities, including" drop-in" programs that are provided B.y organizations.Despite the benefits of after-school programs, there are many reasons why some parents do notuse them. Programs may be too expensive, of poor quality, or hard to join. Some older children andyoung teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care. Parents may feeluncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the tradition-al child care years. However, research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protectingmiddle school and high school youths from risk and harm.

Which of the following is abenefit of after-school programs? 查看材料

A.They help to avoid crime and violence during that time

B.They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours

C.They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates

D.They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths

根据以下材料,回答题

Older Volcanic Eruptions

Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history, not because they were bigger, but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease.

Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions. Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals, but all the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock. To his surprise, the older the massive volcanic eruptions were, the more damage they seemed to do. He calculated the "killing efficiency" for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced. He found that for size, older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.

The Permian extinction, for example, which happened 250 million years ago, is marked by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe. Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatones of carbon as carbon dioxide. The global warming that followed wiped out 80 percent of all marine genera at the time, and it took 5 million years for the planet to recover. Yet 60 million years ago, there was another huge amount of volcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction. Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years. "The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all," Wignall says. He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid. He thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of CO2.

Vincent Courtillot, director of the Paris Geophysical Institute in France, says that Wignall"s idea is provocative. But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations. He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted. And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years. He also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced, and that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.

Why did older volcanic eruptions do more damage than more recent ones? 查看材料

A.Because they killed off life more easily.

B.Because they were brighter.

C.Because they were larger.

D.Because they were hotter.

根据以下材料,回答题

Smart Exercise

Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr.

Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says: "While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can literally cause physical changes in the brain."

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician (儿科医师) , believes in the importance of exercise.

She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory.

In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning," says Margaret.

Older people can beef up their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants, exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.

For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain"s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

Research by Dr. Cameron seems to suggest that exercise can __________. 查看材料

A.generate new blood vessels

B.change the way a person thinks

C.promote brain development

D.divert one"s attention

阅读材料,回答题。

Step Back in Time

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us? One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45. But now, she can live until at least 80.

One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again. And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.

But in order that we don"t slip back into bad habits, let"s have a look at what life was like 100 years ago.

Families had between 15 and 20 children, although many babies didn"t live long.Children suffered from lots of diseases, especially tickets (佝偻病 ) and scurvy (坏血病) , which are both caused by bad diets. This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.

Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up,bending over a piece of string, because there was no room for them to lie down.

People didn"t have fridges until the 1920s. They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills (窗台板 ) , blocks of ice, or even burying it in the garden.

Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents. If you had lived 100 years ago, you might well be selling matchsticks (火柴杆) (a job done by many children ) or working with your dad by now.

Natural Medicines

Since earliest days, humans have used some kinds of medicines. We know this because hu-mans have survived. Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep hu-mans from dying out completely.

They were successful long before the time of modem medicine. Before the time of doctorswith white coats and shiny (发亮的)nstruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strangeand wonderful equipment.

Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors. Nor do they have ex-pensive hospitals. Yet injuries are treated. And diseases are often cured. How? By ancient meth-ods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical (有魔力的)Traditional medicinesare neither mysterious nor magical, however.

Through the centuries, tribal (部落的) medicine men experimented with plants. They foundmany useful chemicals in the plants. And scientists believe many of these traditional medicinesmay provide the cure for some of today&39;s most serious diseases.

Experts say almost 80% of the people in the world use plants for health care. These naturalmedicines are used not just because people have no other form. of treatment. They are used be-cause people trust them. In developed areas, few people think about the source of the medicinesthey buy in a store. Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources, especially plants.Some experts say more than 25 % of modem medicines come, in one way or another, from nature.

Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory. All living things containchemicals that help them survive. So scientists&39; interest in traditional medicine is not new. But ithas become an urgent concern. This is because the earth&39;s supply of natural medicines may bedropping rapidly.

The passage indicates that ancient treatments for injury and disease were 查看材料

A.much more successful than modem ones

B.successful enough for humans to survive

C.successful in all cases

D.of little help to humans

阅读材料,回答题:

Flu Shots Or Not?

It sounded like a good idea when New York City&39;s ~nayor, Rudollph Giuliani, advised New Yorkers recently to get a flu shot. After all,20,000 Americans each year die of influenza. And this year in particular, the mayor suggested, getting a flu shot might be an especially good idea, since it could help doctors distinguish between flu and the deadly inhalational(吸入的) form. of anthrax (炭疽). How? Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms--fever, chills and muscle aches--in the early days of the infection. Physicians would be quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who was vaccinated (接种疫苗) against flu and still developed fever and chills. That would give them a better chance to identify any new victims of terror while their infection was still in its earliest, most treatable stages.

Or so the mayor&39;s reasoning went. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with his log- ic. For one thing, getting vaccinated against influenza doesn&39;t guarantee you won&39;t get sick. Al- though highly effective, the flu vaccine(疫苗) protects against only the dominant types of the dis- ease and even then does not provide 100% protection. It takes a couple of weeks for your body to respond to the vaccine with a sufficient number of antibodies (抗体). Each year thousands of Americans who get the vaccine nevertheless still get the flu.

There are also plenty of reasons you might develop fever, chills and muscle aches that have nothing to do with either anthrax or flu. Indeed, doctors estimate that more than 80% of all flu- like illnesses each winter are caused by other groups of viruses. Getting vaccinated against flu can&39;t protect you against suffering from these other illnesses.

In the worst case, asking all healthy adults to get vaccinated could actually have the opposite effect to the one intended, leading to even more deaths if it means we run out of shots for those who are most vulnerable to the infection. Already there have been delays in getting this year&39;s shipment of vaccine to clinics and doctor&39;s offices. Those who should be at the front of the line in- clude folks who are 65 or older, nursing-home residents and adults and children with chronic health problems as well as anyone who cares for or lives with such people,flu shots are also im- portant men and women whose immune system is weakened by HIV(艾滋病病毒) or other conditions.

The best reason to get the flu vaccine is that it protects against most flus--not that you&39;re worried about getting anthrax. While inhalational anthrax has killed only five people so far, many more could be at risk from flu-related complications. There&39;s no need to worsen the tragedy by making this year&39;s influenza epidemic any worse.

Quite a few New Yorkers took their mayor‘s recent advice and got a flu shot. 查看材料
