听力原文: That's how Shown O'Neill looks back on the heart attack he experienced shortly after his 31st birthday.
"I thought I was in perfect health," Shown says. "I was never sick. I woke up feeling good every morning."
Then on that fateful day in April 2002, he received a giant eye opener. He was working in his yard in Hixson and started having pain in his chest and arms. "I wag pretty sure what it was, but I couldn't believe it could be happening to roe." The good news is that because Shawn recognized the symptoms and went immediately to Memorial Noah Park Hospital, he received the treatment he needed and the damage to his heart muscle was minimal.
"Advances in medicine make it possible for us to stop many heart attacks and keep people alive if they get to the hospital in time," says Dr: Kinsman Wright, medical director of Cardiac Services at Memorial. "We have technology to pinpoint blockage in the cardiac, arteries and several options to open the vessels. And lifestyle. changes and medications are helping people reduce their risk factors."
But Dr. Wright doesn't see any decrease in heart disease. "With people living longer, we're seeing different types of heart disease. We need to keep studying and fighting it on all fronts."

Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change. It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees.
Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience. "Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies to find the best fit," said Pegi Wheatley, owner of McCall Staffing, a San Francisco temp agency.
But things don't always work out that way. "when I started temping, I had this notion that a temporary job could turn full-time. I worked for a friend of mine, but that didn't happen for me," said Atienza, who quickly became bored with his office work. Atienza stayed with the temp agency because he could earn U.S.$10 an hour doing office work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk in a cafe, pay about U.S.$7.
But there were trade-offs for the higher pay. Because in the U.S., health insurance is provided through employer, most temps are not eligible for workplace health benefits. Atienza ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill. Other drawbacks, though less serious, still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies- a temporary choice. Instability, gaps between contracts, lack of vacation time and isolation from other employees are often-cited negatives.
"Temping gave me the time to figure out what I wanted to do, because I could pay off my bills. But none of that came from the jobs themselves," said Atienza, who quit temping last month in favor of a full-time job.
Atienza took a short-term job mainly because ______
A.he didn't want to give up his apartment
B.he liked to try out different companies
C.he wanted to get more experience
D.he couldn't find a long-term job
Because his health is getting worse, _________________________ (他不得不克制自己以免饮酒过度).
For me personally, my mother and all my grandparents smoked. So no matter where I went I would inhale(吸入肺部) it. For the past year I've been trying to avoid my own MOTHER when she starts smoking...I feel angry because I've realized how much she is damaging everyone else's health in the house, especially her grandkids.
Now this is happening all over the world. What are parents thinking? They are ignoring the warning signs. Are they just to be selfish and don't care about their kids' health and other people's? Why should I move out of the area because of their bad habit? Shouldn't they have to go outside the room and do it?
What I'm saying is, SMOKING SHOULD BE BANNED AROUND CHILDREN! and it should be an offense to expose children to second-hand cigarette smoke.
When the adult smokes his/her life with children growing up near them, when they die, the children are left with the harm caused by the parent and potentially a bad later life with disease and worse health.
How often has the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke been reported in the newspaper?
A.Once a week.
B.Twice a week.
C.Once a month.
D.Twice a mouth.

A.off
B.away
C.down
D.over
Because of his poor health, it took him a long time to ______ his bad cold.
A.throw over

What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man--by his desire for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, So pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don't know where we're going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.
