American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms; organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and college. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horse race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
1. Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. The professional baseball teams that play well are allowed to play in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. Football can be classified as a spectator sport.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nation-wide university matches are held yearly.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)

Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize Announcements(B级)
Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days Nobel announcements.
Australian-born U.S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for Nobel.
Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U.S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel.
Among the pair’s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors.(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute.
Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden’s central bank.
Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.
Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US$1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists.
“Individual researchers probably don’t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they’re at work,” Jornvall told The Associated Press. “They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions.”
In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.

第四篇： 诺贝尔奖的公布从医学奖开始
两位因研究癌细胞的生长而赢得赞誉的科学家可能成为2008年诺贝尔医学奖的候选人，周一将为医学获奖者进行颁奖，从而开始诺贝尔奖为期六天的公布。
由于对酶的研究，出生于澳大利亚的美国人伊丽莎白.布莱克本和另外一个美国人开罗.格雷德已经赢得了一系列医学方面的荣誉。老师认为他们最可能获得这次的医学奖。
自1901年首次颁发诺贝尔奖以来，只有七名女性赢得了医学奖，其中最后一名是美国研究员琳达.巴克，她和理查德.埃克索一起获得了2004年的医学奖。(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
布莱克本和格雷德的竞争对手有来自法国的皮埃尔.尚本，来自美国的罗纳德.依文斯和艾尔伍德.杰森，他们开创了核激素受体这一蛋白质研究的新领域。
与以前一样，在斯德哥尔摩卡罗林斯卡学院召开新闻发布会并公布决定之前，评奖委员会没有任何关于候选人是谁的暗示。
阿尔佛雷德.诺贝尔是瑞典人，他发明了甘油炸药。他在遗嘱里确立了诺贝尔而是瑞典中央银行在1968年创立的。
诺贝尔没有留下关于如何评奖的指导，然而，医学奖的获得通常是由于具体的突破，而不是大量的研究。
医学奖委员会秘书汉斯.乔恩瓦说，一千万瑞典克朗(相当于130万美元)的奖金可以鼓励开拓性研究，然而，他认为，赢得奖金并不是科学家的初衷。
“从事研究工作时，研究者很可能并不把自己看成未来的诺贝尔获奖者。“ 乔恩瓦这样对美联社记者说：“他们的动力来自他们的研究以及对生命运转方式的兴趣。”
2006年，来自旧金山加利福尼亚大学的布莱克本，来自巴尔的摩约翰.霍普金斯大学的格雷德与来自哈佛医学院的杰克.绍斯塔克共同获得了拉斯克尔基础医学奖。他们的工作为研究癌细胞利用端粒酶维持不可控制的生长打下了基础。

Online Cancer Chat with a Safety Net
Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.
But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net.
This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue “cancer cures” or scientifically unsound information.
Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
And Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient and star of TV’s Casualty has pledged her support for the new project. “I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea,” she said. “I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.
“The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family. And with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged.”
Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.
The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.
For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charity’s team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients’ concerns on the phone.
练习：
1. Cancer Chat is different from other forums in that
Ait has the support of a famous actress.
Bit is a source of reliable information.
Cit provides a huge amount of information.
Dit attracts a great number of visitors.
2.Which is NOT true of Rebekah Gibbs?
AShe is a well-known figure in Britain.
BShe got breast cancer some time ago.
CShe thinks highly of Cancer Chat.
DShe has written a private diary.
3.All the statements about the messages posted on Cancer Chat are true EXCEPT

Cthey concern not just treatments and side effects.
Dthey are also an emotional outlet for their writers.
4.CancerHelp UK is a website that
Aoffers lots of information on cancer treatment and clinical trials.
Battracts numerous visitors.
Chas won an award.
Dall of the above.
5.“The charity” in the last line but one refers to
ACancer Research UK.
BCancer Chat.
CCancerHelp UK.
DTv’s Casualty.
答案：1. B2.D3.B4.D5.A
第三篇： 安全网站畅谈抗癌心得
英国癌症研究中心在网络上创立了一个供癌症病人交流病情，畅谈对抗这种致命疾病心得的论坛。
但“癌症畅谈”这个论坛有一个不同点就是它的信息是绝对安全的。
这意味着英国癌症研究中心的研究人员会严格把关，事先浏览网络内容，以防病人们受到不良致癌方法或不确切信息的误导。
所有人都可以共享发布在论坛上的信息，但如果有人要发布信息必须事先注册。
癌症患者，“电视随谈”栏目的著名主持人 Rebbeca Gibbon 对论坛的创立极为赞同，我认为论坛是一个很好的举措，我在上面公开发表了我的日记，记录了我对抗乳腺癌过程中的种种遭遇，随后我受到那些同命相连者温馨的回应。在论坛上你可以分享治疗，副作用方面的信息，还可以在论坛上畅谈感受，这是与密友和家人交流时很难做到的。同时研究中心的掌控可以确保发布的交流信息的真实有效。
论坛也鼓励人们到“癌症求助”这个网站上去查询任何癌症问题，这个网站旨在为病人和家属提供6，000多页最新信息，这些信息非常易懂，针对癌症的不同类型提供了大量治疗方法和诊断细节，那还有一个癌症诊断数据库。
这个获奖的网站每月吸引了超过一百万的访问者，研究中心希望其中的一些访问者也能向论坛发布评论信息。
对于那些没有电脑同时又对癌症有问题的人，志愿者服务的护士将在上班时间通过电话的方式为他们提供咨询。(环球网校2016年职称英语《卫生类》阅读判断专项练习)
