What does the doctor assure the man of?19. What is the man's attitude towards the doctor?20. What does the doctor say about the previous treatment for the patient?Passage TwoFor years researchers have debated the whether smoking effects the lungs in men and women differently. In a most compelling study on the topic to date, researchers determined that women are twice as vulnerable to lung cancer as men. But in a surprising twist, they die at half the rate of men. The study, which was published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (J. A. M. A. ), included 9,427 men and'7,498 women from throughout North America who were healthy, at least 40 years old and either current or former smokers. Over the course of more than eight years, a group of investigators led by Dr. Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College in New YorkCity identified lung tumors in 113 of the men and 156 of the women. Then the researchers kept track of who lived and for how long, as well as the treatment participants were given. The study showed that both sexes tended to be in their late 60s when they received a lung-cancer diagnosis but that the women usually had smoked considerably less than the men. Still, at each stage of lung cancer, the women lived longer than the men. If the reported results are confirmed, there are a few hints from other research that might explain the sex difference. Women' s bodies appear to have greater difficulty repairing the damage to their genes caused by smoking, but there is also some evidence that estrogen, which is found in women' s lungs as well as their ovaries, may interfere with some tumors' ability to grow. There is one thing about which all investigators are ready to agree: lung cancer is particularly deadly and almost entirely preventable. So the take-home message is clear: Don' t smoke ! If you do smoke,quit!Questions21. What is the talk mainly about?22. What was one of the requirements for the participants of the study?23. Over the course of more than eight years, how many of the participants developed lung cancer?24. Which of the following is one finding of the study?25. What is the consensus among all the investigators on smoking?Passage ThreeJill Kinmont was an avid skier, competing and winning numerous tides in junior and senior national skiing events. As Jill says, "Skiing was it--everything--my world." Jill' s world collapsed on Jan 30th 1955 when she skied off the Alta run and landed helplessly on the slope. Her fourth,fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae were broken. For days, Jill hovered between life and death. By April, it became clear that she would be paralyzed from the shoulders down. Jill underwent rehabilitation therapy with cheerful determination. She learned to write, to type, and to feed herself. Once she had mastered daily living skills, she enrolled in the University of California at Los Angeles, where she studied art, German, and English. After overcoming yet another personal tragedy, the death of her boyfriend in a plane crash, Jill graduated in 1961. By this time, Jill had chosen a new career goal: teaching elementary school children. Officials at UCLA, however,rejected her application for admission to the graduate school of education because of her paralysis. But she persevered, working with children in the UCLA Clinic School. when her family moved to Seattle, Jill was able to fulfill her new dream. She attended the School of Education at the University of Washington and began her new life' s work as a teacher. She taught school first in Washington, then Beverly Hills in California. Finally moving back to Bishop in 1975 where she taught special education in Bishop Union Elementary School until her retirement in 1996.Questions26. What did skiing mean to Jill before the accident.'?27. What happened to Jill when she skied from the Alta run?28. What did Jill learn during her rehabilitation?29. What did Jill do as her new career?30. What is the most impressive about Jill' s personality?。

Box 4600, Beersheba, Israel, or at belmaker@bgu.ac.il.N Engl J Med 2008;358:55-68.Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.Depression is related to the normal emotions of sadness and bereavement, but it does not remit when the external cause of these emo-tions dissipates, and it is disproportionate to their cause. Classic severe statesof depression often have no external precipitating cause. It is difficult, however, to draw clear distinctions between depressions with and those without psychosocial precipitating events.1 The diagnosis of major depressive disorder requires a distinct change of mood, characterized by sadness or irritability and accompanied by at least several psychophysiological changes, such as disturbances in sleep, appetite, or sex-ual desire; constipation; loss of the ability to experience pleasure in work or with friends; crying; suicidal thoughts; and slowing of speech and action. These chang-es must last a minimum of 2 weeks and interfere considerably with work and fam-ily relations. On the basis of this broad definition, the lifetime incidence of depres-sion in the United States is more than 12% in men and 20% in women.2 Some have advocated a much narrower definition of severe depression, which they call melan-cholia or vital depression.3A small percentage of patients with major depression have had or will have manic episodes consisting of hyperactivity, euphoria, and an increase in pleasure seeking. Although some pathogenetic mechanisms in these cases and in cases of major depres-sive disorder overlap, a history of mania defines a distinct illness termed bipolar dis-order.4Depression is a heterogeneous disorder with a highly variable course, an inconsis-tent response to treatment, and no established mechanism. This review presents the major current approaches to understanding the biologic mechanisms of major de-pression.GeneticsStudies comparing concordance rates for major depression between monozygotic and dizygotic twins suggest a heritability of about 37%,5 which is much lower than the heritability of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Some aspects of the normal person-ality, such as avoidance of harm, anxiousness, and pessimism, are also partly heritable.6 Kendler et al.7 showed that although depression is due in part to heritable depression-prone personality traits, it is also the result of heritable factors that are independent of personality. Early-onset, severe, and recurrent depression may have a higher heri-tability than other forms of depression.8 It is clear from studies of families that major depression is not caused by any single gene but is a disease with complex genetic fea-tures. Studies of pedigrees with multiple cases of major depression have identified chromosomal regions with linkage to the disorder, and some of these loci have been replicated in more than one study, although no single chromosomal region has been replicated in every family study of genetic linkage in depression.

One common polymorphic variant of the serotonin-transporter–linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR ), which affects the promoter of the serotonin-transporter gene, causes reduced uptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin into the presynaptic cells in the brain.10 Some studies have shown that this polymorphism confers a predis-position to depression,11 but it also confers a pre-disposition to an anxious and pessimistic person-ality.10 Brain imaging reveals functional differences in emotion-related areas of the brain among car-riers of the different common polymorphisms of 5-HTTLPR ,12 although a direct relation to depres-sion is unclear. In a large, prospective epidemio-logic study, Caspi et al.13 found that 5-HTTLPR predicted depression only in association with de-fined life stresses. Some environmental factors could confer a predisposition to depression by af-fecting the genome epigenetically — for example, increased maternal care in rodents causes an epi-genetic change in the promoter region of the glu-cocorticoid-receptor gene.14The Monoa mine-DeficiencyHypothesis The noradrenergic and serotonergic systems orig-inate deep in the brain and fan out over almost the entire brain, suggesting a system capable of modulating many areas of feeling, thinking, and behaving. The early antidepressants blocked the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by the presynaptic neuron. The immediate effects of this pharmacologic action are to increase the availabil-ity of norepinephrine and serotonin in the synapse and to increase stimulation of the postsynaptic neuron. Inhibitors of the enzyme monoamine oxi-dase were also discovered to have antidepressant properties. This enzyme catabolizes norepineph-rine and serotonin in their respective presynaptic neurons, and such inhibition could be expected to increase the availability of neurotransmitters. These discoveries led to a major theory of depression known as the monoamine-deficiency hypothesis. Numerous studies of norepinephrine and serotonin metabolites in plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid, as well as postmortem studies of the brains of patients with depression, have yet to identify thepurported deficiency reliably. However, a newly dis-covered form of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxy-lase, designated TPH-2, is specific to the brain 15 and could explain why previous postmortem stud-ies of total enzyme activity did not show differ-ences in tryptophan hydroxylase activity between patients with depression and controls.16 A recent positron-emission tomographic study using a li-gand for brain monoamine oxidase showed a 30% increase of the enzyme in a subgroup of patients with depression.17 A study measuring differences in monoamine metabolites between the internal jugular vein and the brachial artery showed lower production by the brain of norepinephrine metabo-lites in patients with depression than in controls.18 The monoamine-deficiency hypothesis continues to stimulate research whenever a new technical window into the brain is opened.Serotonin and norepinephrine can be depleted experimentally in humans by oral treatments.19 A drink containing all amino acids except trypto-phan stimulates the liver to synthesize proteins and rapidly depletes the plasma (and therefore the brain) of tryptophan. Tryptophan is rate-limiting for serotonin synthesis in the brain. Such oral tryptophan depletion does not induce depression in healthy subjects but will cause a relapse of de-pression in patients who have been successfully treated with a serotonin-reuptake inhibitor.19 Sim-ilarly, α-methyl paratyrosine inhibits tyrosine hy-droxylase, the rate-limiting step in catecholamine synthesis. Treatment with α-methyl paratyrosine does not induce depression in normal subjects but will induce a relapse in patients who have been treated successfully with a norepinephrine-reup-take inhibitor.19 These findings suggest that nor-epinephrine and serotonin have critical roles in the mechanisms of these treatments of depression but that additional neurochemical factors are neces-sary to cause depression.Because direct measurements of monoamine neurotransmission did not yield definitive findings in relation to depression, the downstream effects of monoamine neurotransmission were explored (Fig. 1). The serotonin-1B receptor is located pre-synaptically and regulates the release of serotonin by feedback inhibition. Postmortem studies show that the levels of p11, a protein that enhances the efficiency of serotonin-1B receptor signaling, are decreased in the brains of patients with depres-sion.20 The serotonin-1A receptor is located both presynaptically and postsynaptically to regulateCopyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.

The receptor can be evaluated in patients with depression by injecting specific agonists and measuring specific neuro-endocrine responses, such as elevation of the pro-lactin level.21 Results suggest that the sensitivity of this receptor is reduced in patients with depres-sion.21 The α2-noradrenergic receptor, which is usually presynaptic, modulates norepinephrine re-lease by feedback inhibition (Fig. 1). Heightened receptor sensitivity has been described in patients with depression,22 which is consistent with re-duced norepinephrine release.It is conceivable that the second-messenger sys-tems for serotonergic and noradrenergic neuro-transmission malfunction in depression, and for this reason the phosphatidylinositol and cyclic AMP second-messenger systems have been exten-sively evaluated. Reduced inositol levels have been found in postmortem studies of the brains of per-sons who have died by suicide 23 and in magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of the frontal cor-tex in patients with depression.24 A blunted cyclic AMP response to stimulation was found in post-mortem studies of the brains of patients with de-pression.25 These reductions in second-messenger function may impair neurotransmitter function even without changes in monoamine levels or re-ceptor numbers. These data indirectly support elaborations of the original monoamine-deficiency hypothesis of depression (Fig. 1).G proteins that mediate signaling between re-ceptors and second-messenger systems have also been investigated in patients with depression, both in postmortem studies of the brain 26 and in stud-ies of peripheral-blood cells.27 Although these systems are clearly affected, no consistent picture has emerged because there are numerous forms of G proteins that vary in different areas of the brain. The cyclic AMP response element–binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor affected by cyclic AMP in the cell. In an animal model of de-pression, rats with overexpression of CREB in the dentate gyrus behaved similarly to rats treated with antidepressants, but the opposite effect was found when CREB was overexpressed in the nu-cleus accumbens.26,28 Thus, the role of CREB in depression is specific to the region of the brain. Most but not all studies show that long-term treat-ment with antidepressants stimulates CREB func-tion, possibly depending on the type of drug and the dosage.28 Levels of CREB and phospho-CREB were reduced in postmortem studies of the cor-texes of patients who had a major depressive disorder and had not taken antidepressants, as compared with controls.26,28 Many studies of sec-ond-messenger systems and transcription factors in depression were inspired by the belief that it takes several weeks before antidepressant treat-ment has an effect; consequently, the studies were designed to detect time-dependent biochemical changes in the cell. New meta-analyses suggest that antidepressant effects begin rapidly, howev-er,29 thereby supporting the classic monoamine-deficiency hypothesis.A strong point of the monoamine theory has been its predictive power. Almost every compound that has been synthesized for the purpose of in-hibiting norepinephrine or serotonin reuptake has been proved to be a clinically effective antidepres-sant. A behavioral model of depression has been developed in which a rodent is placed in a glass cylinder filled with water, the sheer wall offering no chance of escape. The animal struggles for a while and then floats passively (the forced swim test). A single prior injection of antidepressant in-creases the struggling time; results in this model have excellent predictive validity for new antide-pressants. Other animal models have been devel-oped by selective breeding of rats for depression-like behavior, and these genetically susceptible rodents also have a response to antidepressants.30 Still other models that can be studied biochemi-cally induce depression with the use of long-term mild stress or learned helplessness. However, no animal model of depression captures the periodic change of behavior into and out of depression that is seen in patients with depression.Molecular techniques such as gene knockout partially support the monoamine theory of depres-sion. The serotonin-reuptake–transporter knock-out mouse is excessively anxious and characterized by increased immobility in the forced swim test.31 This effect is similar to that of the low-activity polymorphic variant of the serotonin receptor on human personality 10 but is the opposite of the ex-pected effects of serotonin-reuptake–inhibitor an-tidepressants. However, this inconsistency could be explained by the difference between a chron-ic monoamine abnormality during brain develop-ment 31 and the hypothesized acute monoamine depletion in an adult with depression. Table 1 shows the effects in mice of knocking out genes related to monoamine neurotransmitters.The effects of stimulants on mood indirectlyCopyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.

Cocaine and amphetamines are powerful releasers of monoamines into the synapse as well as inhibitors of reuptake. Their mood-elevating effects are immediate, but in patients with severe depression they have often been reported to cause agitation rather than relief of depression. This finding could reflect the ability of these stimulants to deplete the presynapse of monoamines and thus cause a “crash” into depression. Recent studies support the theory that an acute response to a single dose of amphetamine predicts a patient’s longer-term response to monoamine-reuptake in-hibitors.46The role of dopamine deficiency in depression is suggested by the frequency of depression in pa-tients with Parkinson’s disease and the effect of reserpine, which depletes serotonin, norepineph-rine, and dopamine, causing a hypoactive state in animals. The antidepressant agent buproprion in-hibits the reuptake of dopamine. Some direct do-pamine-receptor agonists, such as pramipexole, have been reported to be efficacious in the treat-ment of depression, even though they were devel-oped for Parkinson’s disease.47A major liability of the monoamine-deficiency hypothesis is its derivation from the mechanism of currently available antidepressants. Approxi-mately two thirds of patients have a clinical re-sponse to these agents, whereas one third have a response to placebo.48 Perhaps the mechanism of depression is not related to monoamines in two of three cases.Str ess, the Hypothal a mic –Pituitary–Adr enal A xis, and Grow th Factor s Stress 49 is perceived by the cortex of the brain and transmitted to the hypothalamus, where cortico-tropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released onto pituitary receptors. This stimulus results in the se-cretion of corticotropin into plasma, stimulation of corticotropin receptors in the adrenal cortex, and release of cortisol into the blood. Hypothalam-ic cortisol receptors respond by decreasing CRH production to maintain homeostasis (Fig. 2).There is considerable evidence that cortisol and its central releasing factor, CRH, are involved in depression.50,51 Patients with depression may have elevated cortisol levels in plasma,38 elevatedCRH levels in cerebrospinal fluid,50 and increased levels of CRH messenger RNA and protein in limbic brain regions.50 In studies using dexa-methasone to evaluate the sensitivity of the hypo-thalamus to feedback signals for the shutdown of CRH release, the normal cortisol-suppression re-sponse is absent in about half of the mostse-Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.

CRH-receptor an-tagonists show antidepressant activity in animal models,57 but the results of large clinical trials have been disappointing. A compound that blocks the glucocorticoid receptor has been reported to be efficacious in depression, but only the most severe and psychotic type.58A single test for the cortisol level in blood does not contribute to the diagnosis of depression, since levels of cortisol vary markedly in a circadian rhythm 38 and because the overlap between values in patients and those in controls is considerable.

It is also possible that periph-eral cortisol elevations are only a reflection of central disturbances in CRH signaling, which me-diate the effects of environmental stress on mood.59 A major liability of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis theory of depression is the difficulty of defining the relationship of stress to depres-sion. Some patients have a single lifetime depres-sive episode, whereas a larger proportion have a recurrent or even chronic course. Various types of acute stress, early childhood trauma, or long-term psychosocial problems may be involved and may lead to different responses of the stress sys-tem. Stress may be causative in some cases and secondary to depressed mood in others.Severe stress in rodents does not necessarily model the common stresses of childhood. The association of abuse in childhood with psycho-pathologic disorders, including depression, in adulthood could be due to common factors link-ing family perpetrators of abuse and their victims, including not only shared genes but also a shared environment of poverty, poor nutrition, and poor prenatal care. Depression is not uncommon in people with no psychosocial risk factors. Most patients treated for depression have no evidence of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal dysfunction, just as most such patients have no direct evidence of brain monoamine deficiency.The classic teaching is that neurons do not di-vide in the adult mammalian brain, but studies have shown that neurogenesis occurs in several areas of the brain, especially the hippocampus. Neurogenesis is more prominent in rodents than in primates,60 and some have questioned whether it occurs in the human cortex.61 Elevated levels of glucocorticoids can reduce neurogenesis, and this has been suggested as a mechanism for the de-creased size of the hippocampus on magnetic resonance images of the brain in many patients with depression.62 In postmortem studies of pa-tients with depression, cell loss in the subgenual prefrontal cortex, atrophy in the dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex, andT h y r o x i n e a b n o r m a l i t i e sL e v e l s o f t r a n s t h y r e t i n a r e r e d u c e d i n t h e c e r e b r o s p i n a l f l u i d i n p a t i e n t s w i t h d e p r e s s i o n 118T h y r o i d h o r m o n e s m o d u l a t e t h e s e r o t o n e r g i c s y s t e m i n t h e b r a i n 119T h y r o x i n e m o n o t h e r a p y i s i n e f f e c t i v eB r a i n n e u r o g e n e s i s i s d e c r e a s e d a f t e r t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n o f t h y r o x i n e i n a d u l t r a t s w i t h h y p o t h y r o i d i s m 120H y p o t h y r o i d i s m i s n o t m a n i f e s t e d i n m o s t p a t i e n t s w i t h d e p r e s s i o nR a t e o f r e s p o n s e t o t r i i o d o t h y r o n i n e i s i n c r e a s e d d u r i n g d e p r e s s i o n 121D y s f u n c t i o n o f s p e c i f i c b r a i n s t r u c t u r e s a n d c i r c u i t sT r a n s c r a n i a l m a g n e t i c s t i m u l a t i o n o f t h e p r e f r o n t a l c o r t e x 122 a n d d e e p -b r a i n s t i m u l a t i o n o f t h e a n t e r i o r c i n g u l a t e a f f e c t m o o d 123I m p l i c a t e d b r a i n a r e a s d i f f e r f r o m s t u d y t o s t u d y G l u c o s e u s e i s r e d u c e d i n t h e p r e f r o n t a l c o r t e x 124 a n d s u b g e n u a l p r e f r o n t a l c o r t e x 125I n c o n s i s t e n t f i n d i n g s w i t h r e s p e c t t o b l o o d f l o w , v o l u m e t r i c , g l u c o s e u t i l i z a -t i o n , a n d p o s t m o r t e m m e t h o d o l o g i e s 63,124,126C i r c u i t d y n a m i c s i n t h e h i p p o c a m p u s a r e a l t e r e d i n a r a t m o d e l o f d e p r e s s i o n 127* A M P A d e n o t e s a l p h a -a m i n o -3-h y d r o x y -5-m e t h y l -4-i s o x a z o l e p r o p i o n i c a c i d , B D N F b r a i n -d e r i v e d n e u r o t r o p h i c f a c t o r , D H E A d e h y d r o e p i a n d r o s t e r o n e , G A B A γ-a m i n o b u t y r i c a c i d , M R S m a g n e t i c r e s o n a n c e s p e c t r o s c o p y , a n d N M D A N -m e t h y l -D -a s p a r t i c a c i d .Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society.

They found that the radiation also abolished the ability of the animals to respond behaviorally to antidepressant treatment in the forced swim test, but this phenomenon does not occur in every mouse strain studied.69 Henn and Vollmayr sum-marized other studies providing evidence that de-creased neurogenesis is a result of stress and anxiety but may not be behaviorally relevant.70 The relevance of animal models of neurogenesis to clinical studies of depression has been questioned by analogy with studies of neuroprotection strat-egies in stroke, for which numerous findings in animal models have not been replicated in hu-man studies.71Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic peptide, is critical for axonal growth, neuronal survival, and synaptic plastic-ity,72 and its levels are affected by stress 73 and cortisol.74 A postmortem study of patients with depression who had committed suicide showed that BDNF was reduced in the hippocampus.75 Antidepressant drugs and electroconvulsive thera-py up-regulate BDNF and other neurotrophic and growth factors 75,76; a single bilateral infusion of BDNF into the dentate gyrus has antidepressant-like effects.77 One study showed that the hippo-campus was smaller than normal in patients with depression who carried a met166 BDNF allele.78 In an animal model of depression, epigenetic his-tone methylation mediated down-regulation of BDNF transcripts and antidepressant treatment reversed this effect.79 These studies suggest that BDNF is the link among stress, neurogenesis, and hippocampal atrophy in depression. However, a genetic association of the BDNF val166met poly-morphism with depression has not been replicated in most studies,74 and BDNF may be related not only to depression but to multiple psychiatric dis-orders.74 BDNF-knockout mice have behaviors un-related to depression.45 Reduced BDNF levels in the peripheral blood of patients with depression seem to derive almost entirely from blood plate-lets,80 and many artifacts must therefore be con-sidered in interpreting these findings. Inflamma-tion in the brain and some neurotoxins increase brain BDNF levels, suggesting that the actions of BDNF are not uniformly therapeutic.81 Castrén 82 has proposed that antidepressant treatments may increase synaptic sprouting and allow the brain to use input from the environment more effec-tively to recover from depression. This hypothe-sis highlights the role that cognition may play in depression and suggests that biochemical mech-anisms may be nonspecific.Strong epidemiologic data point to an associa-tion between major depressive disorder and in-creased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.83 In many patients, cardiovascular disorders precede depression, and in others, depression precedes the cardiovascular disorder. Both n −3 fatty acid defi-ciency 84 and elevated plasma homocysteine levels 85 have been implicated in cardiovascular disease and in depression. Elevated cortisol levels in depres-sion could increase the risk of coronary artery disease, since cortisol increases visceral fat.64,86 Antidepressant treatment increases the survival rate among patients who become depressed after coronary occlusion.86 Endothelial-cell signaling plays a crucial role in brain neurogenesis,87 and these cells secrete BDNF; thus, both depression and cardiovascular disease could be examples of an endothelial disorder. Signs of inflammatory processes have been described in major depres-sion 88 and in cardiovascular disease. Some data suggest that exercise has protective or therapeu-tic effects in depression.89 Rodent models support this possibility.90Other Possible Mechanisms Table 2 summarizes possible pathophysiological mechanisms of depression other than those based on the monoamine-deficiency hypothesis or the roles of stress, cortisol, and neurogenesis. Many of these other proposed mechanisms have also been implicated in psychiatric and neurologic dis-orders other than depression. Since the compo-nents of the brain are highly interconnected, it is not difficult to find possible integrative frame-works between two or more of the various theo-ries.

The charges alleged against Dr YUEN Chung Cheong are that:“He, being a registered medical practitioner:(a) was convicted at the Shatin Magistrates’ Courts on 25 April 2008 ofan offence punishable with imprisonment, namely, failing tocomply with traffic signal, contrary to regulations 18 and 61(1) ofthe Road Traffic (Traffic Control) Regulations made under theRoad Traffic Ordinance, Chapter 374, Laws of Hong Kong;(b) was convicted at the Shatin Magistrates’ Courts on 25 April 2008of an offence punishable with imprisonment, namely, drivingwhilst disqualified, contrary to section 12(2)(b) of the Road Traffic(Driving-offence Points) Ordinance, Chapter 375, Laws of HongKong;(c) was convicted at the Shatin Magistrates’ Courts on 25 April 2008of an offence punishable with imprisonment, namely, using avehicle without third party insurance, contrary to sections 4(1) and4(2)(a) of the Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks)Ordinance, Chapter 272, Laws of Hong Kong;(d) failed to report to the Medical Council the said convictions within28 days of the conviction, contrary to Part II of the updated Codeas promulgated in Issue 13 – April 2007 of the Newsletter of theMedical Council of Hong Kong, and by reason of the fact allegedhe is guilty of misconduct in a professional respect.”Facts of the case2.The Defendant, Dr YUEN Chung Cheong, has been a registered medicalpractitioner in Hong Kong since 6 March 1996.3.At 2128 hours on 20 February 2008, the Defendant drove a private car with alicence plate number of “EZ9306” and disobeyed a red light traffic signal at the junction of Hung Mui Kuk Road and Chung Pak Road.4.The Defendant was then stopped by the Police in Tin Sum Street. He couldnot produce any driving licence for inspection.5.The Defendant’s driving licence had been suspended since 17 December 2007.He had been disqualified by the Kwun Tong Magistracy under section 8 of the Road Traffic (Driving-offence Points) Ordinance, Chapter 375, Laws of Hong Kong from holding or obtaining a driving licence for all classes of vehicles for3 months commencing from 17 December 2007.6.Meanwhile, the Defendant’s insurance policy did not cover disqualifieddrivers. As such, he was using a vehicle without third party insurance at the time in question.7.Accordingly, on 25 April 2008, the Defendant was convicted at the ShatinMagistrates’ Courts of the following offences, which are punishable with imprisonment:(a)failing to comply with traffic signal, contrary to regulations 18 and61(1) of the Road Traffic (Traffic Control) Regulations made underthe Road Traffic Ordinance, Chapter 374, Laws of Hong Kong;(b)driving whilst disqualified, contrary to section 12(2)(b) of the RoadTraffic (Driving-offence Points) Ordinance, Chapter 375, Laws ofHong Kong;(c)using a vehicle without third party insurance, contrary to sections4(1) and 4(2)(a) of the Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks)Ordinance, Chapter 272, Laws of Hong Kong.8.The Defendant reported the above convictions to the Medical Council of HongKong in a letter dated 22 July 2008.Findings of the Council9.The Defendant chooses not to attend this Inquiry. His legal representativeconfirmed that proceeding with the Inquiry in his absence would not causeprejudice to him.10.The facts are obvious from the charges. The Defendant was convicted of thethree criminal offences which are punishable with imprisonment on 25 April2008. Under Part II of the Professional Code and Conduct, the Defendant isrequired to report the convictions to the Medical Council within 28 days, i.e.on or before 23 May 2008. However, he did not do so. He reported theconvictions by a letter dated 22 July 2008 which was received by the MedicalCouncil on 14 August 2008.11.The Defendant admits that he was convicted of the three offences on 25 April2008. On the basis of his admission and the Certificate of Trial, we aresatisfied that the Defendant was convicted as alleged in charges (a), (b) and(c).12.As to charge (d), the Defendant admits that he only made the report to theCouncil in his letter dated 22 July 2008. According to the Medical Council’srecord, the letter was received by the Medical Council on 14 August 2008.No reason for the failure to report within time was advanced by the Defendant.The Defendant admits that the failure to report within time amounts toprofessional misconduct.13.Nevertheless, it is for this Council to determine whether this failure to reportwithin time constitutes professional misconduct. In deciding on this issue,we take into consideration the length of time that he was late in reporting theconvictions and the circumstances in which he made the report. We find thatthe Defendant’s conduct in this respect falls short of the standard expectedamong registered medical practitioners. We are satisfied that this amounts toprofessional misconduct. We find him guilty of charge (d).Sentencing14.The Defendant has a clear disciplinary record. We also give him credit foradmitting the facts of the charges. In relation to charges (a), (b) and (c), our concern is not to punish him for the three traffic offences. He has already been sentenced by the court for those offences. Our concern is the implication of the convictions in relation of charges (b) and (c) on his practice as a medical practitioner.15.In mitigation, the Defendant put forward that at the material time of the trafficoffences he was rushing back home because his domestic helper had not locked the door. We do not accept this as a mitigating factor of any weight, nor do we see any other mitigation of weight.16.We are particularly concerned with the Defendant’s driving whilst beingdisqualified. This is a deliberate disregard of the law in disobeying the order of the court. The conviction of using a vehicle without third party insurance also reflects his disregard of the law’s protection of the public. These are matters which bring disgrace to the profession.17.On the failure to report the convictions within time, we take note that theDefendant voluntarily reported to the Medical Council by sending a letter dated 22 July 2008, which the Council received on 14 August 2008.18.Having regard to the gravity of the case and the mitigation advanced, we makethe following orders:-(i)In respect of charge (a), a warning letter be served on the Defendant.(ii)In respect of charge (b), the Defendant’s name be removed from the General Register for a period of 2 months, and the order be suspended for a period of18 months subject to the condition that he shall not commit any furtherdisciplinary offence during the suspension period.(iii)In respect of charge (c), the Defendant’s name be removed from the General Register for a period of 2 months, and the order be suspended for a period of18 months subject to the condition that he shall not commit any furtherdisciplinary offence during the suspension period.(iv)Both orders in respect of charges (b) and (c) shall run concurrently, as they arose from the same incident.(v)In respect of charge (d), a warning letter be served on the Defendant.(vi)The above orders shall be published in the gazette in accordance with the provisions of section 21(5) of the Medical Registration Ordinance.19. We note that the Defendant is under limited registration. If for any reasonthe suspended removal orders are activated and his limited registration expires during that 2-month removal period, the effect of the removal orders will preclude him from applying for registration or restoration to the General Register until the removal period has expired.Dr CHENG Chi ManTemporary Chairman, Medical Council。

参考答案I. 1. explorer 2. brave 3. preserved 4. present 5. adventurous6. result7. times8. nothing9. shortly 10. qualifiedII. 1. B 2. A 3. C 4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 12. A13. A 14. C 15.III.16题可见前文有smiled at each other,所以很明显是一起together。
17题出现了破折号,表示後文是对前文的解释,找到能概括后半句一个词即可,也就是goals, 目标。
18题可以参看Challenge的题目Egg Drop所以很自然选dropped over。
19题为固定搭配,抹butter cream, spreading。
20题空后有个词container,而在37题时,破折号后出现了protective container to keep an egg ……表明container是盛装egg并protect egg的,所以40题很明显选择egg,而同时21题即选择protect。
22题属于词义题,将篮子上系上降落伞,attach绑上,附加上。
23题在空前出现了一个表程度的little,因而它所修饰的名词也应该和它表示的程度相一致,从而选fight(口角)而不是challenge(对抗)。
24题通过引号发现应该是前文The parachute is better than that stupid idea的一个引述,即stupid。
25题考查前后两句的关系,这两句不是转折和顺承关系即but和and排除;而while表示时间点,而since 表示时间段,後文作者的friendship仍在被challenged,而不是仅发生在words had been out这一时间点上,因此选since。

2020届山东省实验中学高三6月模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Four things that you can't miss in Macao.Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee JumpThe Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor --- it's still remarkable.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.Marking at the Ruins of St. PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul's College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.Visiting a museumMacao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.1.Which activity will be popular with adventurous visitors?A.Going Bungee Jumping.B.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.C.Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul.D.Visiting a museum.2.What is incredible about the Ruins of St. Paul?A.It has a unique culture.B.It serves as a symbol of Macao.C.It partly stays undamaged after fierce fires.D.It is a combination of a college and a church.3.What do "'Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner" and "Visiting a museum" have in common?A.Taking a selfie in it.B.Finding historical sites.C.Enjoying a breathtaking experience.D.Feeling both eastern and western cultures.I was seven when I first questioned my imagination. I remember watching the first Harry Potter film and my friend was complaining that the characters weren't how she imagined them to be. I couldn't understand what she meant because, in my mind, they had never been images at all, just concepts. When l shut my eyes, I see nothing. I have no visual imagination.I thought everyone's minds worked this way until about two years ago, when I came across a text about aphantasia, a condition where you lack a functioning mind's eye. I was 23, and it blew my mind to learn that others could visualize things. It was clear I had aphantasia, too, and a lot of things started to make more sense. For me, imagination had always been impossible. If someone asked me to close my eyes and picture myself by the sea, I would see nothing.I am currently studying for a PhD in biology at college. A good little test for me is drawing. I can copy things almost like for like if they are in front of me, but if I were to draw from my imagination it would look terrible. It doesn't mean you cannot be creative; you just have to adapt. Regardless of how many times I read a technique, it didn't make sense. But when I came to do it in the lab, I understood it immediately. If you have a visual imagination, you can look at a diagram and it triggers your memory; but I learn by repetition or physically doing something.I'd love to experience life with a mind's eye. I think it'd be cool and beneficial to imagine things so vividly. If you offered me a day with a visual imagination, I'd be excited. I think it'd beso brilliant that I wouldn't want to give it back.4.After watching the first Harry Potter film, the author ______.A.misunderstood what her friend saidB.became a huge fan of the Harry Potter filmC.found it impossible to picture its characters in her mindD.complained its characters different from what she imagined5.How did the author know she had aphantasia?A.Her friend told her the fact.B.She read about aphantasia.C.She had a medical examination.D.Her life experience made it clear.6.What can we learn about the author?A.She lacks creativity.B.She always draws terribly.C.She learns by hands-on practice.D.She gets benefit from techniques.7.What is the author's attitude towards her disability?A.Uncertain. B.Uncaring. C.Upset. D.Positive.For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.So what's the solution? Robots.Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Actroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not knowthe difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around."It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses, though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement. 8.What does the author say about Japan?A.It ranks top in future robotics technology.B.It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.C.It is in desperate need of registered nurses.D.It provides the best medication for the elderly.9.Which of the following best explains “implemented'' underlined in Paragraph 3? A.Cancelled. B.Constructed. C.Improved. D.Applied. 10.What do we know about the robot Actroid F?A.It has no difference from a human nurse.B.It gets favorable remarks from all the patients.C.It interacts with patients like a human companion.D.It uses body language even more effectively than words.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Cooperation will not be replaced.B.Nurses will still play their roles.C.The robotics industry will be promising.D.Robots can meet patients' immediate needs.Why should most of us hate spiders when we know deeply how much good they do? Is it because they somehow seem so alien? After all, what other land creatures on earth have eight legs? What other creatures spin silk webs in which to catch and wrap their prey to preserve it for the future, much as we put food in the fridge to eat later? I do not personally suffer from arachnophobia, the name given to an abnormal fear of spiders, but I can't say that I like the little beasts. However, some people do, and they actually keep them as pets!There is a wide variety of spiders in the world. In fact it has been estimated that there are some 35,000 species——from little "money spiders" that live in your back garden, to the "black widow spider", and the “tarantula” ,the spider that is now sometimes kept as a pet.A tarantula can be any one of a large hairy spiders family and there are about 800 species of them. While experts can tell the difference between species at a glance, most are usually described in reference books as “rather slowly" with “a strong bite which may be poisonous”. They are covered with hairs which can cause a rash (皮疹)if they are handled.No one has calculated the number of human deaths caused by a bite from a tarantula perhaps because it has never happened, or happened so rarely, and indeed a tarantula will do no harm to anyone if handled correctly. Their disgusting image cannot belie their gentle nature but experts tell us not to handle a tarantula without expert advice.Tarantulas are popular as pets and it requires very little space to maintain them in excellent condition. They should be kept singly in a glass container, which need not be very large but should have a layer of stones in the bottom. They feed on insects, and while young tarantulas eat twice a week, adults will often eat no more than once every 10 days.You might like the idea of keeping a tarantula, but personally I am content with just watching them at a distance.12.According to the text, why do most people dislike spiders?A.They are abnormal beasts.B.They take food from fridges.C.They have unpleasant appearance.D.They make people suffer from arachnophobia.13.What do we know about the tarantula?A.It must be kept in groups.B.It feeds on poisonous insects.C.It doesn't belong to hairy spiders.D.It has mild nature if handled properly.14.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The death caused by a tarantula.B.The number of human deaths.C.The bite from a tarantula.D.The rash caused by hairs.15.What's the best title for the text?A.Never judge a book by its cover.B.Nothing seek, nothing find.C.No sweet without sweat.D.Once bitten, twice shy.二、七选五Choosing the right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what to do with their lives, and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine. 16.Your working life lasts an average of forty years, so it's important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about. Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this.The Australian website, , compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. 17.— find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best; if you're not a romantic person, you won't want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. 18.Meanwhile, you should find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work, how much you will earn, and how to get a job in that profession.So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions. 19.Have you travel overseas? Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree, such as a first aid license, for example? Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats would probably never become a veterinarian. Flight attendants, firefighters, and police officers have to be over a certain height, and be physically fit. 20.Are you outgoing and extroverted, or shy and introverted? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you.A.Your personality matters, too.B.Finally, decide how to get movie tickets.C.The site suggests you do the same with your career.D.Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought.E.Some jobs require you to have certain life experiences.F.But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate.G.When you know you can work in your dream job, you'll be glad.三、完形填空Pennsylvania is full of mysterious places!

关于中国人过洋节的态度英语作文高中全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Clash of Cultures: Chinese Perspectives on Western HolidaysAs an inquisitive high school student in China, I have closely observed the fascinating interplay between traditional Chinese customs and the influx of Western cultural influences, particularly manifested in the diverse attitudes towards celebrating Western holidays. This complex dynamic has sparked thought-provoking discussions and highlighted the intricate process of cultural exchange and adaptation.One of the most prominent Western holidays that has gained significant traction in China is Christmas. Once considered a purely religious celebration confined to Christian communities, Christmas has transcended its religious boundaries and evolved into a widely embraced cultural phenomenon. The streets of major cities are adorned with dazzling lights, festive decorations, and the unmistakable presence of Santa Claus figurines, creating an atmosphere of wonder and merriment.However, the Chinese approach to Christmas celebrations is often met with a unique blend of curiosity, adaptation, and occasional skepticism. For many, Christmas represents an opportunity to partake in the joy and festivity without necessarily adhering to the religious underpinnings. Exchanging gifts, indulging in elaborate meals, and adorning homes with twinkling lights have become cherished traditions, embraced by both the young and old alike.Interestingly, the commercialization of Christmas in China has also sparked debates and critiques. Some argue that the excessive consumerism and materialistic aspects of the holiday have overshadowed its original spiritual essence. Others perceive it as a harmless opportunity for family gatherings, shared experiences, and cultural exchange.Another Western holiday that has garnered significant attention in China is Valentine's Day. Once predominantly celebrated in the West as a day of romantic love, Valentine's Day has taken on a unique Chinese twist. While the exchange of gifts, roses, and heartfelt gestures between couples remains a central aspect, the celebration has also expanded to encompass expressions of affection among friends and family members.In Chinese cities, the lead-up to Valentine's Day is marked by extravagant displays in shopping malls, with various products and promotions tailored to the occasion. Restaurants and cafes offer special menus and romantic ambiances, catering to couples seeking a memorable evening. However, some traditionalists view this holiday as an unnecessary importation of Western values, arguing that it undermines China's rich cultural heritage and promotes excessive materialism.The Halloween celebration, while not as widely embraced as Christmas or Valentine's Day, has also found its way into the Chinese cultural landscape, particularly among younger generations. Halloween parties, costume contests, and pumpkin carving activities have become increasingly popular, especially in urban areas with a strong expatriate presence and international communities.However, the reception of Halloween in China is often met with a mixture of fascination and apprehension. While some view it as a fun and harmless opportunity for creativity and social gatherings, others express concerns about the potential promotion of superstitious beliefs or the perpetuation of negative stereotypes associated with the holiday's origins.Amidst these diverse perspectives, it is essential to acknowledge the resilience and adaptability of Chinese culture. Just as China has assimilated and reinterpreted various cultural elements throughout its rich history, the approach to Western holidays reflects a willingness to embrace new traditions while maintaining a strong sense of cultural identity.Chinese families and individuals have found creative ways to integrate Western holiday celebrations into their lives, often imbuing them with unique Chinese characteristics and interpretations. For instance, some families have adopted the tradition of exchanging red envelopes with monetary gifts during Christmas, blending Western and Chinese customs.Moreover, the rise of social media and global connectivity has played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese attitudes towards Western holidays. Online platforms have facilitated the sharing of diverse perspectives, allowing for cross-cultural dialogues and the exchange of ideas. Chinese youth, in particular, have embraced these opportunities to explore and experience different cultural traditions, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for diversity.As a student witnessing these cultural intersections firsthand, I am struck by the complexity and nuances of the Chineseapproach to Western holidays. It is a delicate balance between embracing new traditions and preserving cultural authenticity, a journey of adaptation and negotiation.While some may perceive the adoption of Western holidays as a threat to Chinese cultural identity, others view it as an opportunity for cultural enrichment and mutual understanding. Ultimately, the diverse attitudes towards Western holidays in China reflect the dynamic nature of cultural exchange, where traditions are constantly evolving, blending, and finding new forms of expression.As I navigate this intricate cultural landscape, I am reminded of the importance of maintaining an open and inquisitive mindset. By embracing the richness of diverse traditions and fostering respectful dialogues, we can deepen our appreciation for cultural diversity while preserving the essence of our own heritage.The Chinese approach to Western holidays is a fascinating tapestry, woven with threads of curiosity, adaptation, and cultural pride. It is a testament to the resilience of Chinese culture and its ability to selectively integrate and reinterpret foreign influences, creating a harmonious fusion that celebrates the beauty of diversity while honoring the roots of tradition.篇2The Curious Case of Western Festival Celebrations in ChinaAs an international student from China, one of the aspects of life abroad that has intrigued me the most is the way Western festivals and holidays are celebrated – or perhaps more accurately, embraced – within my home country. From the Christmas markets that spring up in every major city to the Valentine's Day specials advertised by restaurants and stores, it seems that commemorating traditionally European or American occasions has become thoroughly woven into the cultural fabric of modern China.This phenomenon was not lost on me growing up, but I must admit that I did not devote much thought to examining its origins or implications until I experienced my first few months living overseas. Surrounded by Canadian and American friends who regard holidays like Thanksgiving as quintessentially defining traditions, it dawned on me how commercially-driven and culturally incongruous the supposed Chinese "versions" of these celebrations truly are.Christmas, in particular, stands out as the most ubiquitous and corporatized Western festival in China today. One canscarcely avoid its unmistakable sights and sounds in any urban center come December –twinkling lights and garlands adorn shopping malls, restaurants promote lavish "Christmas Eve" set menus, and it has even become common for offices and schools to organize secret Santa gift exchanges. Considering that only a tiny percentage of Chinese are actually Christian, this spectacle inevitably raises questions about the underlying motives.From a purely economic perspective, the widespread adoption of Christmas in China makes complete sense as a commercial enterprise. With hundreds of millions of consumers demonstrating an eagerness to take part, savvy businesses have understandably seized on the opportunity to drive sales through holiday marketing and promotions. Decorations, themed products, and the normalization of lucrative seasonal spending have proven to be an incredibly effective way to generate revenue. Global corporations like Starbucks and McDonald's were among the first to hop aboard the Christmas bandwagon in China, with domestic companies swiftly following suit.Yet I cannot help but feel that there are cultural forces at play beyond mere capitalism and profit motive. For many among China's burgeoning middle class, the allure of Christmas lies not just in the chance to spend money, but in the perceivedopportunity to partake in a quintessentially Western tradition. Celebrating Christmas, by this rationale, is synonymous with embodying the trappings of wealth, sophistication and worldliness so eagerly sought after by many urban professionals and youths in today's China. The grand Christmas displays and festivities organized in cities like Shanghai and Beijing are thus emblematic of the nation's rapidly shifting values and aspirations as it continues its dizzying ascent onto the global stage.Of course, the Chinese people's attitude towards Western festivals is by no means monolithic or univocal – a fact that becomes abundantly clear when examining the discourse surrounding these celebrations. Traditionalists and cultural commentators routinely decry the "worshipping of foreign fads" exemplified by hyper-commercialized Christmas festivities in particular. Every year around December, impassioned op-eds reasserting the importance of maintaining Chinese traditions and rejecting the hollow materialism of Western imports make their rounds through social media and newspapers.Still, critics of this nature appear to represent an increasingly marginalized viewpoint, especially among younger generations. While Cultural Revolution-era rhetoric railing against the "spiritual pollution" of bourgeois foreign influences may still findsympathetic audiences in some quarters, they now coexist alongside a rapidly swelling pro-Western sentiment – particularly in relation to Christmas. Far from perceiving the holiday as a threat to Chinese values, many urban youth seem to regard its celebration as a mark of progressiveness and cosmopolitan identity.Notably, universities across China have emerged as among the most prominent facilitators of bringing Christmas "celebrations" into the mainstream over the past couple decades. Dormitory decorating contests, campus lighting displays, Santa costume parties and other institutionally-organized events have become annual fixtures that few question or decline to participate in. Indeed, the ubiquity of such activities is a prime contributor to my generation's perception that marking Christmas is nothing out of the ordinary – just another way to have fun and bond with friends.This normalization of Western festivals like Christmas in collegiate social life is likely an outgrowth of China'sdecades-long project to rapidly modernize and internationalize its system of higher education. As Chinese universities increasingly began recruiting foreign faculty, hosting international students, and partnering with prestigious Westerninstitutions in the 80s and 90s, administrations simultaneously sought to immerse domestic students in globally "mainstream" cultural practices. Organizing Christmas activities on campuses across the country was a highly visible way to help cultivate the cross-cultural perspectives and experiences demanded by China's new educational paradigm.My personal views on this entire phenomenon have admittedly evolved over the years spent ricocheting between China and the West for studies. I'll admit that early on, I harbored some reflexive unease about importing foreign festivals simply for their chic factor and commercial possibilities. Witnessing older relatives scoff at Christmas consumption made me skeptical of participation based solely on trendiness.Longer exposure and firsthand experiences celebrating with foreign friends, however, have imbued me with a more nuanced perspective. While I retain immense pride in China's ancient traditions, I've realized there is no intrinsic harm or threat posed by also embracing new cultural practices – so long as it is done with intentionality and self-awareness rather than blind mimicry and materialism. Celebrating Christmas or other Western holidays in China need not come at the expense of one's cultural identity. If ushered in with authenticity and open-mindedness,these occasions can even serve as means for inter-cultural exchange and bridging divides between East and West.Indeed, long-standing Chinese values of pragmatism and reinventing tradition may ultimately be the most compelling philosophical justifications for adopting celebrations like Christmas into the national repertoire. After all, the Chinese people boast an extensive history of absorbing and domesticating foreign cultural influences to forge new hybrid traditions – one need look no further than the indelible mark left by Buddhism's entrance from India for a salient example. Cosmopolitan "Christmas" customs arising in today's China could therefore represent merely the latest reinvention in this long process of cultural melding and adaptation.Moving forward, my hope is that the Chinese people can develop a relationship to Western festivals that is both enthusiastic and discerning – embracing these holidays' capacity for intercultural connection and revelry while consciously forging unique localized iterations imbued with Chinese characteristics. As China's global integration and influence continue deepening, the nation's evolving attitude towards celebrating the world's diverse traditions will remain a dynamic story worth watching.篇3The Intermingling of Eastern and Western Traditions: Exploring Chinese Attitudes Towards Celebrating Western HolidaysAs a high school student born and raised in China, I have witnessed firsthand the fascinating interplay between our ancient Eastern traditions and the increasingly globalized world we inhabit. One area where this cultural exchange manifests itself is in the celebration of Western holidays, which have gradually seeped into the Chinese consciousness and sparked a diverse range of reactions and attitudes.Growing up, I vividly remember the excitement that would fill the air as Valentine's Day approached. Despite its Western origins, this celebration of love and romance has found a warm embrace among many Chinese youth. Shops would be adorned with heart-shaped decorations, and classmates would exchange small gifts or heartfelt notes. However, I also recall the disapproving glances from some elders who viewed this practice as a foreign intrusion, a departure from our traditional ways of expressing affection.The dichotomy of perspectives surrounding Western holidays is not unique to Valentine's Day. Christmas, for instance, has sparked heated debates and varying levels of acceptancewithin Chinese society. While some families have wholeheartedly embraced the festive spirit, decorating their homes with twinkling lights and exchanging gifts, others remain steadfast in their belief that this Christian tradition holds little relevance to our cultural heritage.Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this phenomenon is the manner in which certain Western holidays have been adapted and re-interpreted through a distinctly Chinese lens. Take, for instance, the case of Halloween. While the origins of this autumn celebration lie in Celtic and Christian traditions, its modern commercialized form has found a unique expression in China. Rather than embracing the haunting elements of ghosts and goblins, many Chinese have transformed Halloween into a light-hearted occasion for costume parties and social gatherings, stripping it of its more macabre undertones.As I navigate these cultural crossroads, I find myself pondering the deeper implications of this East-West fusion. On one hand, the embrace of Western holidays can be seen as a testament to China's increasing global integration and openness to diverse cultural influences. It reflects a willingness to explore and appreciate traditions beyond our own, fostering a spirit of curiosity and inclusivity.However, there are also valid concerns about the potential erosion of our rich cultural heritage. Some argue that the widespread adoption of Western holidays could dilute the significance of our own time-honored celebrations, such as the Lunar New Year or the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a fear that younger generations may become disconnected from the profound symbolism and historical roots that underpin these traditional events.Personally, I find myself walking a delicate line between these two perspectives. While I cherish the opportunity to experience the joy and festivity of Western holidays, I also deeply value the preservation of my cultural identity. It is a constant balancing act, one that requires open-mindedness and a willingness to embrace the best of both worlds.One approach that resonates with me is the concept of "harmonious coexistence." Rather than viewing Eastern and Western traditions as inherently incompatible, we can strive to find common ground and appreciate the unique beauty in each. Just as the yin and yang symbolize the complementary forces of the universe, perhaps we can embrace the coexistence of diverse cultural practices, allowing them to enrich and inform one another.In this spirit, I have witnessed heartwarming instances where families have creatively blended Eastern and Western elements in their celebrations. For instance, during Christmas, some households incorporate traditional Chinese dishes alongside Western fare, creating a delightful fusion of culinary delights. Others may decorate their Christmas trees with intricate paper lanterns or incorporate elements of feng shui into their holiday decorations.Furthermore, I believe that the selective adoption of Western holidays can serve as a catalyst for deeper cultural exchange and understanding. By engaging with these traditions, we open ourselves to learning about their historical and symbolic significance, fostering greater empathy and respect for diverse belief systems and practices.Ultimately, the discourse surrounding Western holidays in China is a microcosm of the larger global conversation about cultural identity in an increasingly interconnected world. As a student and citizen of this dynamic nation, I recognize the inherent challenges and complexities that arise from this cultural intermingling. However, I also see immense potential for growth, understanding, and the creation of new shared experiences that transcend boundaries.Perhaps the true essence of this phenomenon lies not in the outright rejection or wholesale acceptance of Western holidays, but rather in our ability to thoughtfully navigate these cultural intersections. By maintaining a strong connection to our roots while embracing the richness of diverse traditions, we can forge a path that celebrates our unique heritage while simultaneously embracing the beauty of our global community.As I look towards the future, I am filled with hope and optimism. I envision a world where the boundaries between East and West blur, where cultural exchange flows freely, and where we can collectively revel in the tapestry of human expression, weaving together the vibrant threads of our collective experiences. It is a world where the joy of Valentine's Day can coexist harmoniously with the reverence of the Lunar New Year, and where the twinkling lights of Christmas can illuminate the ancient wisdom of our ancestors.In this journey of cultural exploration, it is incumbent upon us, the younger generation, to approach these intersections with open hearts and open minds. We must be willing to question long-held assumptions, to respectfully challenge traditions that no longer serve us, and to forge new pathways that celebrate the diversity of our global village.For now, as I walk the halls of my high school, surrounded by the lively discussions and debates that this topic inevitably sparks, I am reminded of the incredible richness that lies within the merging of cultures. It is a tapestry woven with threads of joy, tradition, curiosity, and a shared human experience that transcends borders and boundaries. And it is my sincere hope that, through open and respectful dialogue, we can continue to weave this tapestry, creating a future where the boundaries between East and West dissolve, and where we can all celebrate the beautiful mosaic of human expression.。

Patients Have Rights, but Doctors Have Rights, tooEd Newman1. Anyone who watches any amount of television on a regular basis has noticed that TV commercials repeat themselves. Sometimes tiresomely. Whether it’s cars or burgers, soft drinks or detergents, marketing gurus across America believe that without repetition, their messages will quickly be lost amidst the forty-two zillion other messages competing for our half-attentive minds. And to a large extent they are right. We often need to hear a message repeated, because we often don’t “get it”the first time. Either we failed to notice it, or we failed to realize its significance.2.For this reason, we are returning to the subject of living wills, patient rights and self-determination in terminal health care.3. In December 1991 the Federal Patients Self Determination Act went into effect. In essence, this piece of legislation mandates that all hospitals, nursing homes and home health care providers are required to inform patients of their rights as patients and their ability to make an advance directive (living will) regarding their health care prior to treatment.4. A living will is a document which tells your physician or health care provider what types of treatment you want if you become terminally ill. It can outline the types of treatment you want and what you don’t want. In addition, it can also name a person as a proxy to make these health care decisions for you.5. It is noteworthy, however that while living wills have been widely discussed for years, and that Minnesota has had an Adult Health Care Decisions Act in force since 1989, there are still many questions and concerns about what living wills mean. And many people still have fears about the implications of putting their wishes in writing. Perhaps some clarity can be brought to the situation by understanding when and how these advance directives are used.6. Doug Lemons, Director of Social Services at St. Luke’s Hospital, explained. “Keep in mind the context for which the Living Will was developed. It is not in the emergency room, it is not in the operating room, but it is after the fact,when the patient is perhaps out of intensive care and being kept alive with machinery. It is that situation for which living wills were created.”7. According to the law, a living will becomes legally enforceable when the patient can no longer decide treatment decisions for himself or herself and is terminally ill. This means that the patient is in an incurable or irreversible condition for which treatment would only prolong dying.8. “Some people,”said Mr. Lemons, “fear that if they should have a car accident and they are in the emergency room, the doctor would say, ‘Oh, he’s got a living will. Just let him die.’“That can’t happen and it won’t happen, because as people move into the emergency room, they are there for emergency care. The living will doesn’t apply at that point. The living will applies once the patient gets to his room on a respirator.”9. Another situation where living wills are not enforced is in the realm of surgery. To illustrate, Mr. Lemons shared this example. “Recently someone came into the hospital for surgery who has a terminal condition, and she came in for an operation to relieve some of her pain. In order to get through the operation she was put on a respirator—and her living will says she does not want to be kept alive on a respirator. Her proxy came up into the ICU and here is this person being kept alive on a respirator. Is that a violation of the living will? No. It is a continuation of the surgery. In order to get through the surgery, because the heart had stopped—and this is typical sometimes in this situation—she had to have help in breathing. 24 hours later she was awake, and 72 hours later she was returning to her pre-operative state.”10. “Was the respirator a violation of her living will? No. She came into the hospital to relieve some of her pain. This procedure was necessary to achieve this goal.”11.“If, however, we later could not wean her from the respirator, then the decision would have to be made by her proxy, because she did not want to be kept alive on and on and on and on. So here, at this point, we follow her dictates as specified in her living will.”12.While the trend in health care over the past twenty years has been toward patient empowerment, physicians are still ultimately responsible for thehealth care decisions made in a patient’s treatment. Some people are surprised to learn that a physician is not required to follow the dictates specified in an advance directive. “nder our living will statute your health care provider can choose not to follow all or part of your living will,” said Legal Aid Officer Dale Lucas, senior attorney for the Senior Law Office. “You have two choices then. You can choose to stay with that medical provider or you can choose to find a different one. But that medical provider has to tell you about this right away when you provide a copy of your living will to the medical provider.”13.The reason for this becomes clearer when one recalls the history of physician/patient relationships.14. At one time, the typical model for medical care was the Theocratic Model.“It was as if the physician was God,” says Carolyn Schmidt, “and had all the answers. That became somewhat more gentle as care became more sophisticated. We entered what might be called the Paternal Period, where the physician was like a father who knew what was best for his patient.”15.As medical care became still more technical, the model changed to what we might call an Engineering Model. In this scenario, the physician was approached in much the same way as one would contract an engineer. Because the engineer has more knowledge than you, you trust him to take over and do what is correct.16.More recently, said Ms. Schmidt, “a realization has been made—especially among the younger doctors who are graduating from medical schools now—that health care consumers are much more sophisticated and aware due to the spread of knowledge through the media. The ideal model has now become a Cooperative Model where the physician and the patient both have input about the nature of that care.”17.In this new approach to health care, patient and physician work as a team. The benefit to health care consumers is an empowerment to a degree that has never been experienced before. However, just as there are limits to free speech—we are not permitted to shout ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater—so there are limits to patient rights.18.In the Cooperative Model, Ms. Schmidt said, “you are working in ateam. And whenever you work in a team, you are two persons, and both of those persons have rights. Patients know what they want done to their own bodies, and those are very real rights. But the physician knows what he is able or willing to do, both in accordance with his own personal morality and with his knowledge of the practice of sound medicine. It would do real violence to him to have to go against either of those.”19.The bottom line is that there are times when the expressed directives in a living will cannot be carried out in good conscience by one’s physician, and the physician is not obligated to do so. It is the doctor’s right to refuse a particular service.20.Nevertheless, if this were to happen, the law states that your doctor is required to indicate this. “The medical provider has to tell you and document this in his file that he can’t follow all or part of the living will,” said Mr. Lucas. THE DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY OPTION21.Some people have wondered if a living will is necessary at all, since Durable Powers of Attorney are a legitimate option for health care decisions. (A durable power of attorney is a signed, dated and witnessed paper naming another person to make decisions for you. Any competent person over 18 can be chosen. The person does not have to be attorney.)22.According to Dale Lucas, one advantage of the durable power of attorney is that you don’t have to be terminal for it to go into effect. However, since the durable power of attorney was created chiefly for financial matters, Mr. Lucas adds, “I wouldn’t feel totally secure that the durable power of attorney for medical care would be followed.” The purpose of this document is specifically for appointing someone to be an agent on your behalf.23.Why, then, have a living will? “The reason people have a living will,” said Mr. Lucas, “is that they don’t want to place that tremendous burden of responsibility on a loved one to make that decision. Other people think they do want a proxy decision maker. So there are two schools of thought on that. It’s an individual decision that has to be made. I, for instance, have a living will and did not name a proxy decision maker.”HOW DOES ONE MAKE A LIVING WILL?24.In Minnesota, there is a Living Will Form which has been approved by law and should be available from your doctor, health care provider or attorney. This form asks questions to help you clarify what you want and do not want in the realm of terminal health care.25.You are not required to have all the statements filled out. For example, if desired you may skip everything and simply indicate the name of your proxy, the person who will speak on your behalf should become incapable of making your treatment decisions known.26.After the living will is completed, it must be signed by you and two witnesses or a notary public to become legal. Witnesses who will benefit from your estate are not valid. Finally, you must give your living will to your doctor or health care provider and you should ask your doctor to write out an order to carry out the terms of your living will.MISCELLANEOUS CONCERNS27. A lot of people equate a living will with “pulling the plug.” But according to Mr. Lemons, “A living will does not mean ‘Pull the Plug.’ It can also mean Tape the Plug to the Wall, put the tubes in, do everything possible, because it’s your will.”28.Another concern being raised has to do with the effect one’s living will might have on insurance premiums. Can one’s insurance rates go up if they request total care instead of minimal care during their final days? Will insurance companies have a low option plan that encourages people to request No Code Blue or DNR on their charts? “In the state of MN the law says no insurance company can adjust their rates based upon a living will,”said Mr. Lemons. “That’s good news.”29. A living will does not have to be complicated. It may, in fact, be a simple statement such as this: “If in the opinion of two doctors I am brain dead I do not want to be kept alive.” Having one’s intentions spelled out in black and white helps clarify what one truly believes.30.You may feel that a living will is not for you at all. It’s not, in fact, required by law. It is simply a tool to help ensure that you get the kind of health care you want. If you do not have a living will, your nearest of kin will beconsulted.

Whether you wish to use this tool is an option, only you can decide.。
