Health Education

1 Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A per-
son's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem,but it can also be the main solution.This is true
for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished（营养）child ,and the butcher（屠夫，卖肉
的人）who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many
of their own problems.
2 Health education does not replace other health services,but it is needed to promote the proper use
of these services. One example of this is immunization（免疫）:scientists have made many vaccines（疫苗）
to prevent diseases,but this achievement is of no value unless people to go receive the immunization.
3 Health education encourages behavior that promotes health,prevents illness,cures disease,and
contributes to recovery.The needs and interests of individuals,families,groups,organizations,and commu-
nities are at the heart of health education programs.Thus there are many opportunities for practicing health
education.
4 Health education is not the same thing as health information.Correct information is certainly a basic
part of health education,but health education must also address the other factors that affect health behavior
such as availability（可获性）of resources,effectiveness of community leadership,social support from family
members.and levels of sell一help skills.Health education theretore uses a variety ot metnous to neip peopie
understand their own situations and choose actions that will improve their healta? tieaitn eciucation is incom-

5 Also,in health education we do not blame people it they do not behave in a neaitny way.Often un-
healthy behavior is not the fault of the individual.In health education we must work with families,communities,
and even regional and national authorities to make sure that resources and support are avaiianie to enable
each individual to lead a healthy life.

Immunization helps to __________.

U. S. States Do Poorly in Women's Health

Not a single U. S. state meets basic federal goals for women's health,and the nation
as a whole fails except in two areas一mammograms（乳腺X光照片）and dental（牙齿的）
check-ups一researchers said on Thursday.
Millions of women lack health insurance,and states make it difficult to enroll（加入）in
Medicaid,the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor,according to the report.
And few states are doing anywhere near enough to help women quit smoking一the
leading cause of death in the United States.
"The nation as a whole and the individual states fall short of meeting national goals,"
reads the report,put together by the National Women's Law Center and the Oregon
Health&Science University."These health goals provide a road map for assessing the
status of women's health."
Of 27 measures examined by the group,from screening for diseases to actually treating
them,the nation passes on only two,the researchers said."The nation is so far from the
health goals that it receives an overall grade of'unsatisfactory',"they wrote.
The problem seems to be a lack among states of an overall plan for health in general,
the NWLC said.
" State policy makers' piecemeal（一件一件做的）approach to our health care crisis has
resulted in a complex and ineffective system that fails to meet the health care needs of
women,"Judy Waxman,NWLC Vice President for Health,said in a statement.
"Lawmakers need to take a comprehensive,long-term approach to meeting women's
health needs and tackle this serious problem that troubles so many families."

The national goals for women's health make it easier to
A:meet women's health needs.
B:assess the status of women's health.
C:solve women's health problems.
D:deal with the health care crisis.

We're bringing health care to"where people live and work."So declared Larry Merlo,CEO of CVS Health,an American retail-pharmacy giant,announcing a$69 billion deal to buy Aetna,a heatth insurer.One rationale for the deal-assuming the regulators wave it through-is for the merged firm to develop personalised health care that people can easily get access to.There is another,more defensive,impetus behind the deal-the prospect of Amazon going into prescription medicine.The American pharmaceutical market is an alluring one for the online giant.It is large,worth$450 billion in 2016.And it is widely regarded as inefficient,leaving customers without good information about products they are buying.Compared with books,toys and other bulky items,the drugs market would appear to be a nirvana for Amazon.Prescription medicines weigh almost nothing,take up little space and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per pill.But three barriers block the road to this idyll.First,the sale and distribution of drugs is heavily regulated.Amazon would not be able to dump prescription drugs into the same fulfilment channels as its other products.It must acquire pharmaceutical licences for any state where it wishes to operate.Amazon would also need approval from the Food and Drug Administration at a federal level.Operating in a controlled industry would be a departure for a free-wheeling tech firm.Second,most drugs are paid for by insurers,not by consumers.The pharmacy-benefits managers（PBMs）,a sort of middlemen that buy drugs for insurers and companies,perform the complex task of matching purchases with patients'insurers,so that drugs are paid for.That is a source of the sort of opacity that Amazon would seek to remove.But the rcommerce firm would still need to handle issues of payment in the background,without keeping asking consumers for insurance details.Third,although drugs do come in small packages,their shipping and handling often require special attention.Many drugs must be kept cold throughout the supply chain.Others are dangerous,and must be kept in locked cages.Yet these drugs are often also the most expensive.If Amazon cherry-picks drugs that fit well into its existing network,it will miss out on a large slice of the market.Customers could find it confusing to be able to get some prescriptions through Amazon's store but not others.Amazon could find itself a partner,however.In July the boss of Express Scripts,a PBM,said it could use Amazon as an"efficient provider in networks".Or Amazon could buy what it needs.It might buy Rite Aid,a big pharmacy chain,giving it licences,a"cold-chain"infrastructure and Rite Aid's small PBM in one swoop.A prospect like that goes a long way to explaining the marriage of CVS and Aetna.
Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.The Personalized Health Care:A Dream of Retail-Pharmacy Giants
B.The American Pharmaceutical Market:A Goldmine for Online Giants

U. S. to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in January

A study that will cost $3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100,000 U.S.children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January,U.S.health officials said on Friday.
Officials from the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health said they hope the study,to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States,can help identify early-life influences that affect later development,with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.
The study will examine hereditary（遗传的）and environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals that affect health.
Researchers will collect genetic and biological samples from people in the study as well as samples from the homes of the women and their babies including air,water,dust and materials used to construct their residences,the NIH said.
Officials said more than $200 million has been spent already and the study is projected to cost $3.2 billion.
"We anticipate that in the long term（从长远说来）,what we learn from the study will result in a significant savings in the nation's health care costs,"Dr. Duane Alexander,who heads the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development,told reporters.
The study will begin in January when the University of North Carolina and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York start signing up（使报名从事）pregnant women whose babies will then be followed to age 21.
Some of the early findings will be about factors behind pre-term birth（早产）,which has become more common in recent years,according to Dr. Peter Scheidt of the NIH,who heads the study.
The people taking part will be from rural,urban and suburban areas,from all income and educational levels and from all racial groups,the NIH said.

It is exoected that through the study the nation's health care costs_________.
A:will be lowered in the iong run
B:will be signilicantly increasea
C:will be more than $200 million
D:will reach $3.2 million

New U. S. Plan for Disease Prevention
Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes（糖尿病）.
The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases—the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and in-creased exercise.
“In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,”the Health and Human Services Depart-ment said in a statement.
The causes are often behavioral—smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.
“I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.
“Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating dis-eases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices.”
Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003.
“These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a na- tion are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,”he said.
The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for chan-ges as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.
Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.
The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being en-couraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.
The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests（巴氏试验）for cervical cancer（宫颈癌）, mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）, and prostate（前列腺的）checks.
If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.

A: greater responsibility of the government
B: less need for input into treatment
C: higher costs of health care
D: more lifestyle choices for people

In Money Everything
I don’t think money is everything,but we can’t do without it.Fox example,money can’t buy us happiness and a good education.And for another example,money can’t buy us good health and a long life.But we can not live without money.We need it for our daily necessities such as food,clothes and transportation.What’s more,we need it to live a better life.In short,we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.

Text 2 No wonder they are called"patients".When people enter the health-care systems of rich countries today,they know what they will get:prodding doctors,endless tests,rising costs and,above all,long waits.Some stoicism will always be needed,because health care is complex and diligence matters.But frustration is boiling over.This week three of the biggest names in American business-Amazon,Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase-announced a new venture to provide better,cheaper health care for their employees.A fundamental problem with today's system is that patients lack knowledge and control.Access to data can bestow both.The intemet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them.Yet radical change demands a shift in emphasis,from providers to patients and from doctors to data.That shift is happening.Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health.The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients-access to your own medical records and the ability easily to share information with those you trust.That allows you to reduce inefficiencies in your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical algorithms.As with all new technologies,pitfalls accompany the promise.Hucksters will launch apps that do not work.But with regulators demanding oversight of apps that present risks to patients,users will harm only their wallets.Not everyone will want to take active control of their own health care;plenty will want the professionals to manage everything.The benefits of new technologies often flow disproportionately to the rich.Those fears are mitigated by the incentives that employers,govemments and insurers have to invest in cost-efficient preventive care for all.Other risks are harder to deal with.Greater transparency may encourage the hale and hearty not to take out health insurance.They may even make it harder for the unwell to find cover.Will the benefits ofmaking data more widely available outweigh such risks?The signs are that they will.Plenty of countries are now opening up their medical records,but few have gone as far as Sweden.It aims to give all its citizens electronic access to their medical records by 2020;over a third of Swedes have already set up accounts.Studies show that patients with such access have a better understanding of their illnesses,and that their treatment is more successful.Trials in America and Canada have produced not just happier patients but lower costs,as clinicians fielded fewer inquiries.That should be no surprise.No one has a greater interest in your health than you do.Trust in Doctor You.
People may know their health condition better by using technology if_____

A.their medical records are available
B.they accept medical algorithms training
C.data is paid much more attention
D.health-carc institutions trust you

US to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in January

A study that will cost$3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100,000 US children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January,US health officials said on Friday.
Officials from the US government's National Institutes of Health said they hope the study,to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States,can help identify early-life influences that affect later development,with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.
