For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smokers cough for a year.When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “ Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life” According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, pared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they are invincible （不可战胜的）”Gullotta says “They only e in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think” Geez, if it could happen to him.Then there is the ostrich （鸵鸟）approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that monly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-upsRegular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”56.Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.C. They have lived long enough to read this article.D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.57. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?A. men drink and smoke much more than womenB. men dont seek medical care as often as womenC. men arent as cautions as women in face of dangerD. men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases58. Which of the following best pletes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him,?A. it could happen to me, tooB. I should avoid playing golfC. I should consider myself luckyD. it would be a big misfortune59 what does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” A. a casual attitude towards ones health conditionsB. a new therapy for certain psychological problemsC. refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involvedD. unwillingness to find out about ones disease because of fearBSome years ago, a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing togetherSeveral minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the buildingThe police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe themHowever, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclearSeveral days later, psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more plete account from the womanHis interview produced a breakthroughthe woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspectsThe important information enabled the police to arrest the suspect and close the caseThe police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview, a kind of memory - rebuilding processMemory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant informationHuman memory is selective and it is often distorted by stressBut a persons accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniquesThe cognitive interview was developed in the late 1990sIt encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone elses questionsThe witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptionsThe interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives （角度） The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events; reporting everything that es to mind about those events, no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders, such as from beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward; and adopting different perspectives while recalling events Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the sameIt is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and pleteness of witness testimony （证词）60. The purpose of the passage is to _Agive an account of a murder caseBintroduce an idea of cognitive interviewCprove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interviewDhelp a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview61.

The key point in a cognitive interview is thatAthe witness is encouraged to take part in recalling informationBthe interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to timeCthe interview should take place outside the police stationDthe witness should recall details at the scene of the event63.
