Paid Clinical Trials-Volunteers Wanted!
What are clinical trials?
By becoming a medical trial volunteer you will be assisting in the research of new medicines and your participation is essential for the development of potential treatments and cures.
In order to obtain a license for a new medicine, the pharmaceutical company who want to produce it must firstly conduct research into the medicine. This research involves recruiting you, a volunteer, to take part in the clinical trial within a hospital environment so that the effects of the medicine can be closely monitored.
In order to check your health, we will ask you to give your consent for us to contact your family doctor. If you agree, we'll invite you in for a screening visit before taking part. During this visit our staff will take your medical history, measure your heart activity (ECG) and blood pressure, and take a small sample of blood and urine to make sure your liver and kidneys are working properly. If you pass the medical check, you may be invited to return for the clinical trial usually three days to one week later. Each trial is different; therefore the individual requirements for you will be different. Think twice before registration. What we can guarantee is that you will be supervised by the most experienced staff who are dedicated to making you as safe as possible.

More and more people are aware that an afternoon nap can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common myths about napping we still hear.
Myth 1: Napping is only for the lazy.
Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can boost everything from alertness and memory to creativity and productivity. And none of these sounds like laziness to us!
Myth 2: If take a nap, I'll only wake up feeling worse.
Fact: That groggy feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia) but it's not a guarantee. How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. "If you take it longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. You're going into a stage of sleep that's very difficult to get out of," said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph.D.
Myth 3: You definitely shouldn't nap at work.
Fact: In fact, in the office environment, we're all for catching a few winks during the workday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesn't offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close a door and dim the lights. Really desperate? Take a nap on your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.
Myth 4: I'll be more productive if just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping.
Fact: Yes, you'll be away from your desk if you take 10 to 30 minutes to sleep. But you'll likely make up for that "wasted" time afterward. "My research shows that people deteriorate after a long time of work during the day," Sara Mednick told Business Week. "It's difficult to sustain productivity all day." However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to tackle the task at hand.
5. According to the passage, a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPT .
A. making people think more quickly
B. improving people's memory
C. allowing old people to live longer
D. raising people's work efficiency
6. Sleep inertia is a condition in which you feel .
A. worse after a nap
B. excited before a nap
C. refreshed after a nap
D. calm before a nap
7. How you feel after your nap is related to the sleep .
A. way
B. place
C. environment
D. duration
8. Sara Mednick indicates that .
A. taking a short nap at work is a waste of time
B. people become less productive without a nap
C. people become less productive after a nap
D. napping is only for the lazy and young children
C
Time may be one of the most essential ingredients for a healthy diet, finds new research in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Spending more time at home preparing meals is associated with several indicators of a better diet, such as eating more fruits and vegetables. Conversely, spending less than an hour a day preparing food at home is associated with eating more fast food and spending more money eating out.
The findings are based on responses from 1,300 adults who participated by phone in the Seattle Obesity Study in 2008 and 2009. Participants answered questions about how many hours a day they averaged preparing and cooking food and cleaning up after meals. They also reported on food consumption and spending, as well as use of restaurants. About 16 percent of participants said they spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation. About 43 percent reported spending between one and two hours per day on meal preparation, while 41 percent said they spent more than two hours a day on it.
Employment outside the home was mainly responsible for fewer hours spent preparing meals. Notably, about two-thirds of those who reported that they prepared, cooked and cleaned up were women. People with less time available for meal preparation also appear to value convenience, choosing more often to eat out or to buy fast food and ready-made foods to eat at home.
"This study shows that not having time available may be one of the most significant barriers to achieving a healthy diet," said Lauri Wright, Ph.D., R.D.N., a nutritionist and assistant professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Wright added, "Nutritionists give close consideration to the issue of time when making their recommendations. They can give tips on ways to optimize(优化) time and money, such as planning meals, shopping ahead and preparing some foods in advance that can allow families to have quick-to-prepare healthy meals and snacks."
Wright mentioned an observation made in the study, "Besides time and cost, people often don't feel confident about their ability to prepare healthy meals. But they can improve their ability to prepare healthy meals."
9. How many of 1,300 participants spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation?
A. About 210.
B. About 530.
C. About 560.
D. About 620.
10. According to the passage, which of the following factors mainly contributes to fewer hours spent preparing meals?
A. Eating more fast food.
B. Surfing the internet.
C. Buying ready-made foods.
D. Working away from homes.
11. According to Lauri Wright, having more time available may lead to .
A. more delicious meals
B. much worse health
C. healthier diets
D. more fast food
12. What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph?
A. How to optimize time and money.
B. How to improve the ability to prepare healthy meals.
C. How to achieve a healthy diet.
D. How to clean up after meals.

三、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
What's the best way to give up smoking? 33. But just how effective are they?
E-cigarettes look and feel like real cigarettes, 34. Inside an e-cigarette there's a battery, a heating element and a replaceable cartridge(筒芯) filled with liquids. Some of the liquid solutions have a mixture of nicotine and flavorings(调味品), while others just have flavorings. The heating element creates a vapor from the liquids that smokers can take into their mouth then push out of their mouth.
Around 1.3 million Britons now use e-cigarettes. 35. For a start, they satisfy a desire for nicotine. Nicotine is a powerful drug that acts as a stimulant. It's also highly addictive. The tobacco contains over 4,000 chemicals, which sticks in the lungs. However, e-cigarettes have none of these dangerous substances, so you can enjoy them without damaging your health. Plus, there's no ash and no nasty smell. 36. You can smoke e-cigarettes in most bars, pubs and clubs. Can e-cigarettes help smokers give up the habit? Of course! Traditionally, people who want to stop have used gum. However, many find e-cigarettes more effective.
37. For a start, there hasn't been much research on e-cigarettes, so no one is sure of the risks. The WHO says that while in e-cigarettes there are fewer chemicals which do harm to health, there are still some. Also, e-cigarettes can become addictive as people often suck on them non-stop, without realizing how much nicotine they're consuming. Others say that they glamorize(美化) smoking, making more teenagers start smoking.
The public health officials in the UK have advised sticking to gum instead of e-cigarettes.
A. So, why are they so popular?
B. So, what are harms of e-cigarettes?
C. But that's where the similarity ends.
D. However, there are a few drawbacks.
E. Some say that e-cigarettes are the answer.
F. As a result, they don't pollute the environment.
G. The public health officials advise using e-cigarettes. 答案
