W: Then what happened?
M: A few days after arriving in Los Angeles, one passenger died, and 74 others were seriously ill.
W: And what is the reason for that?
M: According to Dr. Phillips, it was the highest single outbreak of cholera in the United States this century, and the airline passengers were the victims of this new epidemic of cholera, a disease not seen in Latin America since 1895. They were just a few of the more than one million people affected in 20 countries, including at least 10,000 who died in the following three years after 1991.
W: Cholera? To the best of my understanding, that disease has been dead for some time now.
M: But it has come back. Dr. Phillips says that cholera is by no means the only old infection on the comeback, and it is one of the major infections that are fighting back fiercely against man's attempts to control them.
W: But what are the reasons for the comeback of so many dead diseases?
M: Phillips says a single reason can't explain why a new disease appears or an old one returns, and usually a combination of factors are involved.
W: What kind of specific factors?
M: Dr. Phillips in his book Plagues on Our Doorstep presents some reasons.
W: What are they?
M: First, international travel and commerce. The cholera aboard flight 386 and mosquitoes living in imported tires are examples of these. Second, technology and industry. For example, the technology in Britain's processing industry was a likely contributor to the emergence of mad cow disease. Third, the breakdown of public health measures. Declining health resources have resulted in the erosion of once highly-valued health services.
W: Well, that's just unbelievable!

听力原文: New research from Australia shows that pets are good for your health. The findings of this new study suggest that people who have pets are at less risk from heart disease than those who do not.
The new research was carried out over three years and examined 3,000 people. They took tests that measured a variety of different factors known to be involved in heart disease--blood pressure and blood levels. Also, people were asked about their lifestyles. The 800 people who owned pets had low levels on each of the factors measured than those who did not own pets. The study 'also showed that it did not matter what kind of pet was owned--a cat was as good as a dog— so the benefits could not be attributed to the exercises involved in walking a dog.
The question is just how pets manage to make their owners more healthy. The obvious answer is that they make their owners feel more relaxed and happy. The Australian scientists who organized this study commented that if a new drug was available that was as effective as simply having a pet, then this drug would undoubtedly be considered a breakthrough in the control of heart disease.

听力原文: Computers are being widely used in medicine. The most common use is for keeping hospital patient records. There may be access to these at several points—hospital patient rooms, offices, laboratories and even operating theatres. Computers are also used in the delicate task of looking after patients in the intensive care unit and in monitoring those undergoing surgery.
One of the latest developments is to use computers to assist diagnosis. A computer is programmed with information about a disease, using the accumulated knowledge of many specialists and textbooks. A doctor examining a patient may then be guided by the information given by the computer in what to look for and which questions to ask the patient. The information he gathers is fed into the computer. It may suggest further questions before finally providing a diagnosis.
This kind of procedure causes some people anxiety. They feel it increases the gap in the personal relationship between the doctor and patient. On the other hand, it makes widely available knowledge and skill which before belonged to only a small number of specialists, or which had to be found with difficulty in published material.
(23)
A.Calculators.
B.Microwaves.
C.Computers.
D.Electroscopes (doctor's instrument).

What you are feeling now is perfectly normal. Anger, fear, confusion, numbness, depression all are completely natural reactions to the kind of news you've heard. If you've known fur even several weeks, you may find yourself having a normal day, then suddenly remember that you are HIV positive. It's very common for this kind of realization to just "hit you in the face" out of nowhere over again. You are not going crazy if this happens to you. Your moods may swing from profound sadness one moment to extreme anger the next. That's normal, too.
The first step to get through this emotional turmoil (混乱) is to acknowledge what you are feeling. Don't be surprised to find yourself going through the day in a state of shock. Allow yourself to feel nothing. Your emotions will come rushing back in soon enough. This is merely a way that your mind "turns off' to allow you to cope with a problem, If you are feeling angry, that's fine. You have every right to be angry and a lot to be angry about. This virus is threatening your very existence. It's okay to express this anger. If you're frightened, acknowledge your fears. You are thinking about things that would make anyone fearful. You are allowed to feel the way you do. Don't be hard on yourself or think you have to be strong. You don't have to be anything.
What does the author mean by saying "learning that you are" (Line 2, Para. 1)?
A.Learning what disease you've caught.
B.Learning that you are infected.
C.Learning that you are carrying HIV virus.
