稽留流产(missed abortion)

胚胎或胎儿已死亡滞留在宫腔内尚未自然排出者称为稽留流产。

Sometimes it’s just hard to choose. You’re in a restaurant and the waiter has his pen at the ready. As you hesitate, he gradually begins to take a close interest in the ceiling, his fingernails, then in your dining partner. Each dish on the menu becomes a blur as you roll your eyes up and down in a growing panic. Finally, you desperately opt for something that turns out to be what you hate.
It seems that we need devices to protect us from our hopelessness at deciding between 57 barely differentiated varieties of stuff-be they TV channels, gourmet coffee, downloadable ring tones, or perhaps, ultimately even interchangeable lovers. This thought is opposed to our government’s philosophy, which suggests that greater choice over railways, electricity suppliers and education will make us happy. In my experience, they do anything but.
Perhaps the happiest people are those who do not have much choice and aren’t confronted by the misery of endless choice. True, that misery may not be obvious to people who don’t have a variety of luxuries. If you live in Madagascar, say, where average life expectancy is below 40 and they don’t have digital TV or Starbucks, you might not be impressed by the anxiety and perpetual stress our decision-making paralysis causes.
Choice wasn’t supposed to make people miserable. It was supposed to be the hallmark of self-determination that we so cherish in modem society. But it obviously isn’t: ever more choice increases the feeling of missed opportunities, and this leads to self-blame when choices fail to meet expectations. What is to be done A new book by an American social scientist, Barry Schwartz, called The Paradox of Choice, suggests that reducing choices can limit anxiety.
Schwartz offers a self-help guide to good decision-making that helps us to limit our choices to a manageable number, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices we make.
But once you realize that your Schwartzian filters are depriving you of something you might have found enjoyable, you will experience the same anxiety as before, worrying that you made the wrong decision in drawing up your choice-limiting filters. Arguably, we will always be doomed to buyers’ remorse and the misery it entails. The problem of choice is perhaps more difficult than Schwartz allows.

The Bermuda Triangle is one (51) the greatest mysteries of the sea. In this triangular area between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda in Atlantic, ships and airplanes (52) to disappear more often than in (53) parts of the ocean. And they do so (54) leaving any sign of all accident or any dead bodies.
It is (55) that Christopher Columbus was the first person to record strange happenings in the area. His compass stopped working, a flame came down from the sky, and a wave 100 to 200 feet high carried his ship about a mile away.
The most famous disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was the US Naval Air Flight 19. (56) December 5,1945,five bomber planes carrying 14 men, (57) on a training mission from the Florida coast. Later that day, all communications with Flight 19 were lost. They just disappeared without a trace.
The next morning,242 planes and 19 ships took part in the largest air-sea search in history. But they found nothing.
Some people blame the disappearances (58) supernatural forces. It is suggested the (59) ships and planes were either transported to other times and places, kidnapped by aliens (60) attacked by sea creatures.
There are (61) natural explanations ,though. The US Navy says that the Bermuda triangle is one of two places on earth (62) a magnetic compass points towards true north (63) magnetic north. (64) planes and ships can lose their way if they don’t make adjustments.
The area also has changing weather and is known (65) its high waves. Storms can turn up suddenly and destroy a plane or ship. Fast currents could then sweep away any trace of an accident.
