If you're a male and you're reading this, congratulations: you're a survivor. According to statistics, you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman.
There're many reasons for this--typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke--but perhaps more importantly, men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should," says Dr. Gullotta. "This is particularly so for the over-40s, when. diseases tend to strike."
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year.
"When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer," he says. "Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged (延长) Ns life."
According to a recent 'survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they're invincible (不可战胜的)," Gullotta says. "They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, 'Geez, if it could happen to him...'"
Then there's the ostrich approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
"Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Camnill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.
Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. "But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater; it's called premature death."
Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?
A.They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.
B.Their average life span has been considerably extended.
C.They have lived long enough to read this article.
D.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.

听力原文:M: Sue, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?
W: Hi, Dave, I have some excellent news. I won first prize in the computer software competition. We had a party last night. I'm sorry you didn't make it to be there.
M: Oh, yeah, I had an appointment with my supervisor. It was such a great pity. Tell me, what's the prize?
W: I've won a trip to Sydney. You know what? That's been the place of my dreams for so many years.
M: Really? Why do you like it particularly?
W: I love the sunshine on the beach, the soft wind from the sea, and I have friends there. They invite me to visit them every year. I really miss them.
M: That's great! But how will you get there?
W: Fly, of course. It's much too far to swim.
M: I hate flying. What terrifies me most is the thought of not having my feet safe on the ground. And three other things happen: my stomach turns, my face goes pale, and I break into a cold sweat.
W: But if you want to travel, you have to fly.
M: That's tree. But if I were to fly, I'd have to get some medicine from the doctor.
W: That must cause you a lot of trouble. I heard people say that more practice will make the condition better. Why don't you try it?
M: I definitely want to get rid of the problem. But...to fly more often? Oh, the idea itself will kill me.

Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modem states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits?
So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but out spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is, shared by this respect that everybody is equipped for life.
It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" in which only our most progressive forms of modem education try to regain. In primitive cultures tile obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterate"—if the term can be applied to people without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
Education in the wilderness is not a matter of financial means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hinders the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever present attention of his parents; therefore is jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in the neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to buy an education for his child.
The passage implies that many countries lay great emphasis on education because ______.
A.they want to get back monetary rewards
B.without education, people would be deprived of the greatest twentieth century opportunities
C.they want to cultivate the potential leaders
D.the well educated generation is the future of those countries
