　　Passage Two

　　The word health can be used in a number ofways. In the past， health only the absence of disease orillness. Today， though， healthhas a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes howyou feel physically， mentally， andsocially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health.You can understand the need for a broader definition if you think about howhealth in your life is different from health in your grandparents‘ lives.

　　In 1900， the maincauses of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria（细菌） and viruses（病毒）。If youhad lived then， the danger of your dying from pneumonia（肺炎） would have been three times greater than the dangerof your dying from cancer.

　　The diseases that were most common in 1900affected people of all ages. It is not surprising， then thataround 1900， the emphasis of health was on freedom fromillness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1900 can be preventedor cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation（卫生）。 Most diseases now are likely to occur later in life.You as a teenager will probably not have to think about the same threats toyour health as your grandparents did.

　　These improvements in health conditionsmean that not only can you now enjoy a better life， but you also have a greater chance of having a longerlife. Conrtolling diseases has increased the life expectancy in the UnitedStates. Grenerally， people born more recently have higher lifeexpectancie

　　B.Bacteria and viruses are the main causesof death today.

　　C.Medicines for curing pneumonia were notavailable in 1900.

　　D.Pneumonia caused as many deaths in 1900as cancer does today.

　　8.“Life expectancy”in the last paragraphmost probably means ____.

　　A.the kind of life that a person may expectto live

　　B.the mode of life that a group of peoplehave lived

　　C.the length of time that a person or ananimal has lived

　　D.the length of time that people may expectto live

　　Thedifferent behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen throughthe basic beliefs， assumptions and values of that particulargroup. When you encounter and action， or hear astatement in the United States which surprises you， try to see it as an expression of one or more of thevalues listed in this booklet.

　　11.Can anordinary American tell you his/her value system？

　　A.Yes， because this is something an American lives by.

B.No， becauseeveryone will have his /her own system.
