Section A

( A )

Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients complained of pain, they 25 ( tell ) it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.

Times have changed. Today, we take pain seriously. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in 26 ( determine) a person’s well-being. We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disturb a person’s life, causing problems that range from missed work 27 depression.

That’s 28 a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians 29

specialize in pain medicine. Not only do we find out the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain 30 ( well) , but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other issues related to the pain. Such therapy often involves the work of social workers, psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.

This modern respect for pain management 31 ( lead) to a lot of treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a 32 ( limit) number of drugs available, and many of them caused significant side effects in older people, including dizziness and tiredness. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.

For many of us the“ cashless society” is not on the horizon-it’s already here.

36 computers offer these conveniences to consumers，they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep 37 wide range of records，including who sold what，when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items 38 ( sell ) and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are 39 ( busy) and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers 40 similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Chinese medical experts have warned that antibiotics (抗生素) are “ 41 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side effects for the health of an entire generation.

According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 42__ patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them?could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation measures.

“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 44 antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 45 risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.

The ministry 46 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 47 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 48 supervision on prescription safety under heavy pressure from patients.

Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 49 by profit-seeking pharmacy firms. There are more than 6,000 pharmacy companies in China that produce more than 1,000 kinds of antibiotics.

About 60 percent of the newly 50 medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.
