【正文】 e particles that give off3 light when activated. Researchers are studying ways to program them to identify diseases by lighting up in the presence of a targeted 。Last week, speakers at a program in Washington discussed using nanotechnology to improve health care in developing countries. The program took place at the WoodrowWilsonInternationalCenter for Scholars. Peter Singer at the University of Toronto says a nanotechnology called quantum dots2 could be used to confirm cases of malaria. He says it could offer a better way than the traditional process of looking at a person39。第四部分 閱讀理解（六篇）Bringing nanotechnology to health care for the poor劇妝諢貰攖蘋塒呂侖廟痙湯籪糶駒責(zé)。該櫟諼碼戇沖巋鳧薩錠謨贛贅眾騶嶠。B第二段第一句說到，多年來醫(yī)生已經(jīng)知道，婦女在妊娠的后六個(gè)月不應(yīng)該服用ACE抑制劑。talk with與consult with的意思相同，都是“咨詢、商量”的意思。邁蔦賺陘賓唄擷鷦訟湊幟結(jié)廢擴(kuò)駑彎。榿貳軻謄壟該檻鯔塏賽緯闥糝鍔駕躦。鏃鋝過潤啟婭澗駱讕瀘載撻贏禱驛懼。F第三段說患高血壓的孕婦在孕期頭三個(gè)月服用其它降壓藥，她們的危險(xiǎn)性并沒有增加；即使服用ACE抑制劑，其嬰兒也只有大約9%患大病。8.

But diabetes during pregnancy can result in birth So the study did not include any women known to be diabetic. ACE inhibitors suppress a protein called angiotensinconverting enzyme, or ACE. This enzyme produces a chemical in the body that makes blood passages narrow. The drugs increase the flow of blood so pressure is reduced. 攙閿頻嶸陣澇諗譴隴瀘鐙澮蹤島騁檻。Doctors have known for years that women should not take ACE inhibitors during the last six months of pregnancy. The medicine can injure the baby. ACE inhibitors, though, have been considered safe when taken during the first three months. But a new study has found that women who take these drugs early in their pregnancy still increase the risk of birth The study shows that, pared to others, their babies were almost three times as likely to be born with major These included problems with the formation of the brain and nervous system and holes in the heart. 滅噯駭諗鋅獵輛覯餿藹猙廚憮犧駿灃。Pregnant women warned about ACE1 inhibitorSome of the most monly used medicines for high blood pressure are drugs called ACE inhibitors.

Napping to a Healthier Heart?午睡可以使心臟更健康嗎？to在這里表示達(dá)到某種結(jié)果或效果。Could a little sleep during the middle of the day reduce the risk of a heart attack? An unrelated study earlier this month in the Archives of Internal Medicine8 suggests that the answer may be yes. In countries like the United States, afternoon naps are mostly for children. But they are mon for adults in Mediterranean countries. And these countries generally have lower rates of heart disease. So scientists in the United States and Greece wondered if naps could play a part. Twentythree thousand healthy adults took part in the study by Harvard University and the University of Those who took thirtyminute naps three times a week had a thirtyseven percent lower risk of death from heart problems
