16、. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

17、 to anxiety, but stress seems to affect the immune defenses of lower animals too. In one experiment, for example, behavioral immunologist (免疫学家) Mark Laudenslager, at the University of Denver, gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in t
18、heir enclosure, while the other half could mot. The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in t
19、hose that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of control over an event, not the experience itself, is what weakens the immune system.Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke University School of Medicine, has shown that animals who ar
20、e allowed to control unpleasant stimuli dont develop sleep disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats. But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control. Such findings reinfor
21、ce psychologists suspicions that the experience or perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depression.One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at the University of Rochester Sc
22、hool of Medicine conditioned (使形成条件反射) mice to avoid saccharin (糖精) by simultaneously feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that while suppressing their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains, the mice quickly learned to avoid the s
23、weetener. In order to extinguish this dislike for the sweetener, Ader reexposed the animals to saccharin, this time without the drug, and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlier conditioning died. He could only speculate that he
24、had so successfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.11. Laudenslagers experiment showed that the immune system of those rats who could turn off the electricity _.A) was strengthenedB) was not affectedC) was alteredD) was weakene
25、d(B)12. According to the passage, the experience of helplessness causes rats to _.A) try to control unpleasant stimuliB) turn off the electricityC) behave passively in controllable situationsD) become abnormally suspicious(C)13. The reason why the mice in Aders experiment avoided saccharin was that
26、_.A) they disliked its tasteB) it affected their immune systemsC) it led to stomach painsD) they associated it with stomachaches(D)14. The passage tells us that the most probable reason for the death of the mice in Aders experiment was that _.A) they had been weakened psychologically by the sacchari
27、nB) the sweetener was poisonous to themC) their immune systems had been altered by the mindD) they had taken too much sweetener during earlier conditioning(C)15. It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals _.A) can be weakened by conditioningB) can be suppressed by drug i
28、njectionsC) can be affected by frequent doses of saccharinD) can be altered by electric shocks(A)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing (
29、把固定) legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon (放任). Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been net by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delaysnot only in accepting responsibility
30、, but more importantly, in doing something about it.It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industrys and our recognition that protecting mankinds great treasure is the single most important respons

If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as profession
