Many Benefit from Cancer Organization

    1. Do you know a child who survived leukemia? Do you have a mother, sister or aunt whose breast cancer was found early thanks to a mammogram? Do you have a friend or coworker who quit smoking to reduce their risk of lung cancer? Each of these individuals benefited from the American Cancer Society’s research program.

    2. Each day scientists supported by the American Cancer Society work to find breakthroughs that will take us one step closer to a cure.¹ The American Cancer Society has long recognized that research holds the ultimate answers to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.²

    3. As the largest source of nonprofit cancer research funds in the United States, the American Cancer Society devotes over $100 million each year to research. Since 1946，they’ve invested more than $2.4 billion in research. The investment has paid rich dividends³ ：In 1946，only one in four cancer patients was alive five years after diagnosis; today 60 percent live longer than five years.

    4. Investigators and health professionals in universities, research institutes and hospitals throughout the country receive grants from the American Cancer Society. Of the more than 1,300 new applications received each year, only 11 percent can be funded. If the American Cancer Society had more money available for research funding, nearly 200 more applications considered outstanding could be funded each year:

    5. You can help fund more of these applications by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, a team event to fight cancer. More funding means more cancer breakthroughs and more lives being saved. To learn more, call Donna Hood, chair with the Neosho Relay for Life of the American Cancer Society at 451–4880.

‘Sesame Street’ has been called ‘the longest street in the world’. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of American’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York 1969. In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from ‘Sesame Street’ are in the same class with children who have not watched the program. The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching ‘Sesame Street’. Why has ‘Sesame Street’ been so much more successful than other children’s show？Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch ‘Sesame Street’. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself, and he wants to learn more. Mothers often watch the program along with their children because

A:they enjoy the program as much as their children. B:they find their children have benefited from watching the program. C:they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the show. D:they can learn some educational theories from the program.

第三篇

Wayne Beno
"Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman. Fishing, boating, hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏病).
"For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖). I only went out during peak times, when I was looking and feeling my best. But that wasn’t often and I really couldn’t do much of anything. I felt like the fife I loved was over," said Wayne.
Then Wayne’s doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation (刺激) (DBS). DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and more. It is not a cure, but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases, with relatively low risk to the patient.
In addition to his doctor’s recommendation, Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. His friend’s experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz, Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.
And was it ever.
"It was the best thing I ever did. I’m down to zero pills a day and I don’t shake at all," reports Wayne. "Before the surgery, I felt bad every single day. Now I feel like my old self. I’m back to business as usual, which for me means fishing, fishing, and more fishing, every day of the year. Things just couldn’t be any better!"

A:worked as a doctor B:was against the DBS procedure C:benefited from the DBS procedure D:was a victim of the DBS procedure
