A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 36 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 37 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior ―contributes to‖ or is ―associated with‖ an oute。 this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your mon sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 39 Evaluate ―scientific‖ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù) ). 40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C. Be sure to work through the critical questions. D. And examine the findings of the original research. E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F. Make choices that are right for you. G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from mon sources. 第三部分 完形填空（共 20小題；每小題 ，滿分 30 分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。 When middleaged Alex quit his job and made up his mind to bee a freelance (selfemployed) writer, no one could tell for sure whether he would succeed or not.
