【填空题】AV Clip 3: Recovery from stroke AV 3 Recovery From Stroke.mp4 Watch the video clip three times and complete the following passage by filling in each blank with the word from the video clip. More than 750,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year. The odds of recovery depend on many factors including the person’s age, (1) ________ of the stroke, and how quickly they can get treatment. About half of stroke patients recover (2) _______ well so they can live independently or with only limited assistance. But even those who make a swift recovery can experience a (3) _________ decline in the five years following their stroke, new research finds. Doctors at Columbia University studied 525 patients who had suffered a stroke and rated them (4) ___________ on their ability to do daily tasks such as climbing stairs, getting (5) ____________, and eating meals.

Worried about prescription drugs？ How to weigh your risk？
When the pain reliever Vioxx was withdrawn from the worldwide market last September after the announcement that it increased patients' risk of heart attacks and strokes, millions panicked. Suddenly, ads for the drug were replaced with ads looking for Vioxx "victims". Not only did patients stop taking Vioxx but, doctors say, many people stopped taking their other medicines, too—sometimes putting their health at serious risk. The sometimes-sensationalized headlines didn't help. People wondered. Should I trust my doctors？ Could what I thought would help me actually kill me？ Is the drug safety system broken？
Americans have somehow come to believe they should get the best medical care with the latest remedies with no side effects. But there is no drug that doesn't have side effects. Peter Corr, head of worldwide research and development for drug manufacturer Pfizer says, "As a society we expect medicine to be perfect. There is no such thing. There is always a risk."
How You Can Make Informed Decisions
Since there is no such thing as a pill that is completely safe, including aspirin, consumers have to accept the dichotomy(一分为二)that the same medicines that extend and enhance our lives may hurt us; some of them may merely have minor side effects, while others are able to cause death. So how should you and your doctor proceed？
1. Weigh the risks and benefits of any drug. As a smart consumer you must decide whether a drug is "safe enough" for you. The greater the benefit, the more risk you may be willing to take. If your illness is mild and not very bothersome, you may decide that any risk is too big and opt against taking any medications at all. On the contrary, if your illness is serious or potentially life threatening, you may even be willing to try an experimental drug with greater risk for serious side effects.
Zena McAdams, 59, a regional clergyman in Macon, Georgia, has lived with a condition that causes chronic pain for many years. For a long time she took OTC ibuprofen(布洛芬,一种镇痛非处方药), "I mean lots of it," she says. In the spring of 2001, her doctor prescribed Vioxx. Taken only once a day, it was "remarkable," she says. "I took it every day till it was taken off the market."
After speaking to her doctor, she switched to Celebrex last October. It was also effective in controlling the aches and pains associated with her condition—until she heard concerns that it, too, had serious potential side effects. She talked to her doctor, weighed the risks versus the benefits and decided that her quality of life was most important. "There is always that nasty feeling about safety," she says, "but there is no reason to think that I have any heart problems. The benefits at this point in my life certainly outweigh the risks. The drug works. It eases the pain."
2. Be especially cautious about new drugs. New drugs are inherently risky. So if you're taking one, monitor yourself carefully. Have your eating and digestive habits changed？ Are you feeling unusually tired or agitated？ Have your breathing patterns or skin color changed？ If so, call your doctor immediately, who may tell you to stop taking the drug. How does a consumer know that a drug is new？ Ask your doctor or pharmacist(药剂师)？
If you have a choice between two or more equally effective drugs, choose the one with a longer track record of safety. If you are taking a drug in the same class as one that has been recalled, it is careful to ask your doctor if that drug places you at greater risks.
3. Know if you're in a high-risk group. Although scientists still don't know precisely why, certain individuals have bad reactions to a drug or to a particular dose of a drug, while others don't. Men metabolize(新陈代谢)drugs differently than

The Biology of Music
Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate. It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic？ Science does not yet have all the answers.＜br＞
What are two things that make humans different from animals？ One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing better than a lot of people).＜br＞
However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments.＜br＞
Music is a strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things-- especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form. of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music？＜br＞
If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.＜br＞
Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However, they don&39;t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.＜br＞
By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us？ That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That&39;s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone&39;s mate. For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes.＜br＞
And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent conditions. Finally,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.＜br＞
However, Miller&39;s theory still doesn&39;t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.

Today's youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38 in and may be 42-44 in by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 in in 1972. Women's waists have grown from an average of 22 in in 1920 to 24 in in the Fifties and 30 in now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese—double the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese. The obesity pandemic—an extensive epidemic—which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australia, Central America and the Middle East.
Many nations now record more than 20 percent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight. Prof. Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.
He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease. An averagely obese person's lifespan is shortened by around nine years, while a severely obese person by many more.
Prof Prentice said: "So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist？" The answer is yes—and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health. So say No to that doughnut and burger.
What does the word "sedentary (Para. 2)" mean？
A．Sit still.
B．Eat too much.
C．Study very hard.
D．Passive thinking.
