Yet you’ll be surprised to learn that some of the carowners even suffer from malnutrition（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良） . In 1968, a nationwide survey of malnutrition was made for the first time. It found that 10 million people are suffering in health through inadequate feeding。brotherinlaw Einstein author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because_____. was difficult for people to accept new things were great disadvantages of the keyboard machine could not be distinguished from print name of the machine was too long decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to_____. the letters in alphabetical order the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly the problem of the keys jamming with ABC key arrangement is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard__. the most scientific arrangement speed and efficiency of typists the typist from typing too fast easy for typists to memorize of the following can be the best title of the passage?

The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the twoday meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and pounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators（呼吸器） to help patients breathe, is the mainstay（主要支持） of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to plete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1.

Health Panel Remends New Guidelines on SARS 參考答案 : B D A B D In recent years, teachers of introductory courses in Asian American studies have been facing a dilemma nonexistent a few decades ago, when hardly any texts in that field were available. Today, excellent anthologies（文選） and other introductory texts exist, and books on individual Asian Americans are published almost weekly. Even professors who are experts in the field find it difficult to decide which of these to assign to students。 t sell because no one could remember its name! T
