D 2. B ScriptParkinsons disease is a progressively disabling disease marked by trembling and increasing stiffness of the muscles. The onset of this disease is gradual, which makes it difficult to diagnose in its early stage. Trembling usually begins in one or both hands; eventually the thumb and forefinger may show a rapid repetitive movement. In addition to muscular rigidity, other symptoms include slow body movement, poor coordination, and unbalance. A shortening of muscles along the front of the neck tends to bend the head and spine forward, while the lack of animation in the face creates a mask like expression. As these symptoms worsen, chronic fatigue, mental confusion, and speech impairment may develop and the person with Parkinsons may find it impossible to walk unassistedly.Passage 2 Laughter Is the Best MedicineFill in the blanks with the information you hear.1. heart attacks 2. disease 3. average 4. oxygen 5. estimated6. Laughter can even help improve your memory.7. Just read something humorous or watch a funny video.ScriptTheres a saying in English: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Now studies suggest that this saying might really be true.Everyone knows that stress is bad for your health. It can give you headaches. It can cause heart attacks and other serious medical problems. When we laugh, our stress is reduced. Then the body is able to fight disease better.People who laugh a lot have lower blood pressure than the average person. When a person laughs, his or her blood pressure goes down. When this happens, breathing becomes deeper, sending more oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Also, laughter pushes out more air from the lungs than it takes in, which helps to clean out the lungs.Laughter is good exercise, too! Some doctors have estimated that a person can burn as many calories by laughing as by riding an exercise bike for several minutes. Laughter can even help improve your memory. When you laugh, your muscles relax and psychological stress is reduced. This keeps the brain alert and allows you to remember more information. Some doctors are beginning to prescribe laughter along with certain medications and a healthy diet. Its easy to include laughter in your daily schedule. Just read something humorous or watch a funny video. And who knows it might save your life! Passage 3 Race and DiseaseListen to the passage. Then check the following statements True or False. 1. False 2. False 3. False 4. True ScriptResearchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between race and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.The study, however, found almost no racial or ethnic differences among the heaviest smokers. These were people who smoked more than thirty cigarettes each day. Other comparisons have shown that black people are more likely than whites to get lung cancer from smoking. But the scientists say few studies have compared the risks among native Hawaiians, Asians and Latinos.Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings.The eight-year study involved more than one hundred and eighty thousand people. They provided details about their tobacco use and their diet as well as other information. They included current and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost two thousand people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic differences. There could be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it a step toward the promise of personalized medicine.Speaking Teaching suggestionsConversation modelStep 1 Read and Listen.
