第一篇Who Want to Live Forever? （谁想永生？）
If your doctor could give you a drug that would let you live a healthy life for twice as long ，would you take it?
The good news is that we may be drawing near to that date，Scientists have already extended the lives of flies ，worms and mice in laboratories. Many now think that using genetic treatments we will soon be able to extend human life to at least 140 years. This seems a great idea. Think of how much more time we could spend chasing our dreams，spending time with our loved ones，watching our families grow and have families of their own. "Longer life would give us a chance to recover from our mistakes and promote long term thinking," says Dr Gregory Stock of the University Of California School Of Public Health. "It would also raise productivity by adding to the year we can work."
Longer lives don't just affect the people who live them. They also affect society as a whole. "We have war，poverty，all sorts of issues around，and I don't think any of them would be at all helped by having people live longer," says US bioethicist Daniel Callahan."The question is 'What will we get as a society? 'I suspect it won't be a better society."
It would certainly be a very different society. People are already finding it more difficult to stay married. Divorce rates are rising. What would happen to marriage in a society where people lived for 140 years? And what would happen to family life if nine or 10 generations of the same family were all alive at the same time?
Research into ageing may enable women to remain fertile for longer. And that raises the prospect of having 100-year-old parents，or brothers and sisters born 50 years apart. We think of an elder sibling as someone who can protect us and offer help and advice. That would be hard to do if that sibling came from a completely different generation.
Working life would also be affected，especially if the retirement age was lifted. More people would stay in work for longer. That would give us the benefits of age-skill，wisdom and good judgment.
On the other hand，more people working for longer would create greater competition for jobs. It would make it more difficult for younger people to find a job. Top posts would be dominated by the same few individuals，making career progress more difficult. And how easily would a 25-year-old employee be able to communicate with a 125-year-old boss? Young people would be a smaller part of a society in which people lived to 140. It may be that such a society would place less importance on guiding and educating young people，and more on making life comfortable for the old.
And society would feel very different if more of its members were older. There would be more wisdom，but less energy. Young people like to move about. Old people like to sit still. Young people tend to act without thinking. Old people tend to think without acting. Young people are curious and like to experience different things. Old people are less enthusiastic about change. In fact ，they are less enthusiastic about everything.
The effect of anti-ageing technology is deeper than we might think. But as the science advances，we need to think about these changes now. " If this could ever happen，then we'd better ask what kind of society we want to get，" says Daniel Callahan. "We had better not go anywhere near it until we have figure those problems out."
如果你的医生给你的药物，让你过上健康的2倍的寿命，你会要吗？
好消息是，我们可以亲近，日期，科学家已经延长了生命的苍蝇，蠕虫和小鼠在实验室。现在许多人认为使用基因疗法，我们将很快能够延长人类寿命至少140年。这似乎是一个好主意。想想多少时间我们可以追求我们的梦想，花时间与我们所爱的人，看着我们的家庭长大，有了自己的家庭。
“更长的寿命将给我们一个机会从我们的错误恢复和促进长期思考，”格雷戈瑞博士说股票的加利福尼亚大学公共卫生学院。”它也将提高生产力，增加了一年，我们可以工作。”
更长的生命，影响的不只是那些住他们。他们还影响到整个社会。”我们有了战争，贫穷，各种各样的问题，我不认为任何人会在所有有帮助的人们活得更长，说：”我们生物伦理学家丹尼尔卡拉汉。”问题是我们会得到什么作为一个社会？”我怀疑这会不会是一个更好的社会。”
这当然是一个非常不同的社会。人们发现很难保持结婚。离婚率在上升。会发生什么样的婚姻的社会中人们生活了140年？会发生什么样的家庭生活，如果九个或10个同一家庭，同时活在世上？
研究老龄化可能使妇女保持了肥沃的时间。这稀罕，或兄弟姐妹出世相隔50年。我们把年长的兄弟姐妹有人谁可以保护我们，提供帮助和建议。这是一件困难的事情如果兄弟姐妹来自一个完全不同的一代。
工作生活中也会有影响，特别是如果退休年龄被取消。更多的人会在工作时间。这将给我们带来的好处age-skill，智慧和良好的判断力。
另一方面，越来越多的人工作时间会造成更大的竞争工作。这将使它更难找到工作的年轻人。职位将由少数人，职业生涯的进步更难。多么容易将一个25岁的员工能够与一个有着125年历史的老板？
年轻人将是一个较小的一部分，一个社会中，人们的生活140。它可能是这样一个社会会少重视对年轻人的教育和引导，更使老年人的生活质量。
和社会都会非常不同，如果更多的会员年龄。会有更多的智慧，但较少的能源。年轻人喜欢运动。老人喜欢坐。年轻人往往不思考法。老年人往往认为不。年轻人很好奇，喜欢体验不同的事情。老年人不热衷变化。事实上，他们不热衷一切。
抗衰老技术的影响比我们想象的。但是随着科学的进步，我们需要考虑这些变化。”如果这能实现，我们最好问问什么样的社会，我们想要的，”丹尼尔说卡拉汉。”我们最好不去附近的地方，直到我们有这些问题了。”

1. B长寿使个人能做的事主要在第三、四段里讲到，作者没有提到长寿可以让人更多地接受教育。
2.A本题答案以下面的这两句话为依据:People are already finding it more difficult to stay married. Divorce rates are rising. 暗示美国人目前的婚姻关系已经十分脆弱。
3.B文章的第九段讲了寿命延长、退休推迟可能带来的种种问题，但作者没有提到雇佣者需要更多的钱来支付员工的工资。
4.C答案可以在第十、十一这两段里找到。
5.C本题的答案依据可以在最后一段里找到。Callahan 认为在搞清楚长寿社会会给我们带来哪些问题之前，最好不要急着搞抗衰老的技术。可见他对抗衰老技术的发展是有保留的。
第二篇Some People Do Not Taste Salt Like Others（咸度味感因人而异）
Low-salt foods may be harder for some people to like than others，according to a study by a Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences food scientist. The research indicates that genetic factors inf1uence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat.
Those conclusions are important because recent ，well-publicized efforts to reduce the salt content in food have left many people struggling to accept fare that simply does not taste as good to them as it does to others，pointed out John Hayes，assistant professor of food science ，who was lead investigator on the study.
Diets high in salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. That is why public health experts and food companies are working together on ways to help consumers lower salt intake through foods that are enjoyable to eat. This study increases understanding of salt preference and consumption.
The research involved 87carefully screened participants who sampled salty foods such as soup and chips，on multiple occasions ，spread out over weeks. Test subjects were 45 men and 42 women ，reportedly healthy ，ranging in age from 20 to 40 years. The sample was composed of individuals who were not actively modifying their dietary intake and did not smoke cigarettes. They rated the intensity of taste on a commonly used scientific scale，ranging from barely detectable to strongest sensation of any kind.
"Most of us like the taste of salt. However，some individuals eat more salt ，both because they like the taste of saltiness more ，and also because it is needed to block other unpleasant tastes in food. "said Hayes. "Supertasters，people who experience tastes more intensely ，consume more salt than do nontasters. Snack foods have saltiness as their primary flavor ，and at least for these foods，more is better ，so the supertasters seem to like them more. "
However ，supertasters also need higher levels of salt to block unpleasant bitter tastes in foods such as cheese ，Hayes noted. "For example ，cheese is a wonderful blend of dairy flavors from fermented milk ，but also bitter tastes from ripening that are blocked by salt ," he said. "A supertaster finds low-salt cheese unpleasant because the bitterness is too pronounced."
Hayes cited research done more than 75 years ago by a chemist named Fox and a geneticist named Blakeslee ，showing that individuals differ in their ability to taste certain chemicals. As a result ，Hayes explained ，we know that a wide range in taste acuity exists ，and this variation is as normal as variations in eye and hair color.
"Some people ，called supertasters，describe bitter compounds as being extremely bitter ，while others ，called nontasters，find these same bitter compounds to be tasteless or only weakly bitter. "he said. "Response to bitter compounds is one of many ways to identify biological differences in food preference because supertasting is not limited to bitterness. "
低盐食品会更难一些人喜欢比其他人，根据一项研究由宾州州立大学农学院食品科学家。研究表明，遗传因素影响的差异水平的盐，我们喜欢吃。
这些结论是重要的，因为最近的，广泛宣传，努力减少盐含量的食物已经让很多人难以接受的票价，根本没有品味好，他们为它人，指出约翰海因斯，助理教授，食品科学，谁是领头人的研究。饮食高盐能增加患高血压和中风。这就是为什么公共卫生专家和食品公司一起工作，就如何帮助消费者降低盐摄入量通过食物是好吃。这项研究增加了理解的消费偏好和盐。
参与这项研究的87carefully筛选与会者谁采样咸的食物如汤，芯片，在多个场合，分布在周。测试受试者为45名男子和42名妇女，据说健康，年龄在20至40年。该样本是由个人谁不积极修改他们的饮食摄入和不吸烟香烟。它们的强度评价味觉上常用的规模，范围从几乎没有探测到任何一种强烈的感觉。
“我们最喜欢的味道，盐。然而，一些人多吃盐，因为他们喜欢品尝咸味，也因为它是必要阻止其他不愉快的口味的食品。”海因斯说。”supertasters，人谁的经验，口味更为激烈，消耗更多的盐比味觉。休闲食品有咸味的风味，并至少在这些食品，越多越好，所以supertasters似乎更喜欢他们。”
然而，supertasters还需要更高水平的盐块不愉快的苦口味的食品如奶酪，海因斯说。”例如，奶酪是一个美好的共混物的乳制品风味的发酵乳，但也苦口味从成熟的封锁，”他说。”一个supertaster发现低盐奶酪因为痛苦是太明显。”
海因斯引用的研究做了超过75年前由化学家命名狐狸和遗传学家名叫斯利，表现出个人不同的能力，某些化学品的味道。因此，海因斯解释说，我们知道一个范围广泛的味道视力存在，而这种变化是正常的变化，眼睛和头发的颜色。
“一些人，称为supertasters，描述苦味化合物是极苦的，而其他人，称为味觉，发现同样的苦的化合物无味或只有弱苦。”他说。”回应苦味化合物是许多方法来确定生物差异食物偏好因为supertasting不仅限于苦。”
练习:
1. In paragraph 2 ，John Hayes points out that
A、it is good to health to eat food without salt.
B、many people reject low-salt food completely.
C、many people accept low-salt tasteless food reluctantly
D、food with reduced salt tastes better.
2. The fourth paragraph describes briefly
A. how to select subjects and what to do in the research.
B. how to identify supertasters and nontasters.
C. why to limit the number of subjects to 87 persons.
D. why to select more male subjects than female ones.
3. The article argues that supertasters
A、like the taste of saltiness to block sweet tastes in food.
B、like snack foods as saltiness is their primary flavor.
C、consume less salt because they don't like intensive tastes.
D、like to share salty cheese with nontasters.
4. Which of the following applies to supertasters in terms of bitter taste?
A、They like bitterness in foods as well as saltiness.
B、They like high-salt cheese as it has intense bitter taste.
C、They prefer high-salt cheese，which tastes less bitter.
D、They prefer high-salt cheese as it is good to health.
5. What message do the last two paragraphs carry?
A. Taste acuity is genetically determined.
B. Taste acuity is developed over time after birth.
C、Taste acuity is related to one's eye and hair color.
D、Taste acuity is still a mysterious subject in science.
答案与题解:
1. C根据短文的第二段内容，很多人因为食物中的含盐量降低，所以必须做出很大努力( struggling) 去适应，而低盐食物对于他们来说，口味很不好(fare that simply does not taste… good to them) 。选项C有 accept reluctantly (勉强接受)表达了这层意思，所
2. A第四段介绍了科学家是如何设计这项研究的，它包含了研究对象的人数、性别、人选条件、
咸度味感分级表等。选项 A 概括了这方面的内容，所以是答案。
3. B短文的第五段提供了答案。supertaster 在这里的意思是:口味重的人，在本文中，nontaster
是其反义词，即，口味清谈的人。该段告诉我们，口味重的人消耗更多的盐;因为快餐食品的主
要味道就是咸味，而且咸度越高，口味越好，所以口味重的人对快餐较为偏
4. C 短文第六段提供了答案。该段告诉我们，奶醋发酵会产生苦味，supertasters 不喜欢苦味，
而高含盐量可以盖住奶酷里的苦睐，这是他们偏爱高盐奶酷的原因。所以，只有C是正确选择。5.A文章第七段中，Hayes引用了75年前一位遗传学专家的实验。从这项实验中，Hayes 得出的
结论是，Taste acuity( 味觉敏度)上的差异与他们头发和眼睛的颜色上的差异是同一类现象，
也就是说，都是与生俱来的。第八段又说，这是一种 biological difference (生物差异)，所
以 A 是答案。B 说味觉敏'度是后天形成的，显然与作者的结论相左。C 说味觉敏度的差异与头
发和眼睛的颜色上的差异有关，显然是错误的。D 的内容在最后两段都没

Dreams are not simply visual-we dream with all our 7 , so that we appear to experience sound, touch, smell, and taste．One of the world's oldest 8 written documents is the Egyptian Book of Dreams．This volume is about five thousand years old, so you can 9 that dreams were believed
to have a special significance even then．Many ancient civilizations believed that you 10 never ask a sleeping person as, during sleep, the soul had left the body and might not be able to return 11 time if the sleeper were suddenly 12 .

练习：
1.A demand B promise C agree D claim
2.A also B just C only D quite
3.A though B besides C however D despite
4.A familiar B accustomed C aware D used
5.A after B on C through D over
6.A great B high C strong D deep
7.A feelings B emotions C impressions D senses
8.A considered B known C regarded D stimated
9.A see B feel C ensure D think
10.A would B ought C should D need
11.A by B in C with D for
12.A awoke B awoken C awake D awaken
13.A minute B hour C moment D day
14.A doing B putting C making D taking
15.A as B like C so D such
答案与题解:
1. D 这里是一个复合从句，缺的部分是带后边宾语从句的一个谓语成分。根据后边宾语从句的内容"never dream at all " ，可以判断此处应该是 claim ，声称。demand ，promise ，agree 都有后边的语义不符。-
2. B as frequently as 已经表达了"同样"的意思，所以 also 不符合这一空。quite 不能用来修饰 as. . . as 这样的词组，而根据上下午的语境，这里应该是"刚好，恰恰”所以最佳答案是Just 。
3. A 根据上下文的语-境，可以判断出这一空所衔接的前后两个句子有转折的关系，而且后一句为条件，despite 与 though 都可以表示."虽然，尽管"的意思，但是 despite 是做介词是才有"虽然，尽管"的意思，此处缺的是一个连接词，所以只能用 though. .
4. C 这四个选项中，只有 aware 可以与 of 搭配，策示"意识到'，accustomed 通常与 to 搭配，表示习惯于，同样 used to 也表示习惯于。而 familiar 通常与 with 搭配，表示"对…熟悉"。从语义与搭配两个层面来看，最合适的都是 aware.
5. A night after night" 一夜又一夜"，固定搭配。同样的结构还有 year after year ，day after day，week after week。相似的结构有 day by day ，"逐日，一天天";year by year ，"逐年，一年年.
6. A 此处是在 in detail 这一表达当中增加了一个形容词，来表示细致的程度。high 表示高度的变化，strong 是强度，deep 是深度，用来表示细致都不合适。所以应该用 great ，in
great detail ，表示细致入微，描述得淋漓尽致。
7. D 从前边的 visual ，以及后边的 sound ，touch ，smell ，taste 这些可以看出，这里指的是人所有的各种感官的感觉。感官叫做 sense organ ，所以这种种的感觉通常都用 sense 来表示。
8. B 根据上下文，可以发现此处是在描述一个事实。因此首先排除 estimated"估计"，而这本最古老的书是已经被认定过7的，所以 regard ，consider 都不合适，因此，最佳答案应该是known ，目前所知的。
9. A 此处是通过从前文所描述的这样一个事实，可以让我们认识到这个空后边所表达的内容。因此不是 feel ，think. 也不是让我们确认，而只是发现，所以也不是 ensured ，而应该是see。
10. C 根据上下文的语境，可以判断出此处表达的是不能，不应叫醒睡梦中的人。首先排除need ，另外 ought 通常跟 to 一块使用，所以也不可能。而 would 更 should 两者相比，后者的程度更深，更符合这个语境。
11. B 此处应该是及时的意思，in time ，固定搭配。
12. B 此处考察的是被动语态，与动词 awake 的变形。这里是被叫醒，所以 A 和 C 都排除了，表示被动态而且形式又正确的应该是 B awoken.
13. D 这里表达的是从古到今的意思，通常都用笼统一些的概念，minute ，moment 表示的比较具体。所以用 day 比较合适。
14. C 此处所表达的是人类一直在尝试，"尝试，试图"通常直接用 attempt to，或者用make attempts to ，固定搭配。
15. A as. .. as 句式，这里所表达的前后一样是指书的数目，与书中对梦解释的数目的一致性。

Women to about 80, and these _____l_____ are rising all the time. What has brought _____2_____ these changes? When we look at the life_____3_____of people l00 years ago, we need to look at the greatest_____4_____of the time. In the early 20th century, these were the acute and often _____3_____ infectious diseases such as smallpox. Many children died very young from these diseases and others, and the weak and elderly were always at risk.
In the_____6_____world these diseases are far_____7_____today, and in some cases have almost disappeared.

12． A when B yet C however D while
13． A spread B affected C produced D created
14． A poor B weak C older D young
15． A and B leading to C from D with
答案与题解：
1. A通过上下文可知此处应为"年龄".
2. B bring about意思是"带来"，bring in意为赚取，实现（一定利润），没有bring to 这个短语，如果用with，此句话必须变成what has it brought with these changes才符合语法，但意思就不符合文章了。
3. D life span是一个固定搭配，意为寿命。
4. B从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。
5. D本句举了天花的例子，下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病，所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词，不能修饰后面的形容词。Acute不是比较级，所以and后面也不应用比较级。
6. A本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失，通过常识得知应该是发达国家。
7. C本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失，整段都在说明情况好转，故选C.
8. B 冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括，只能用factor.
9. C注意这里的which不是非限制定语从旬中指代前面l句话的作用，而是指代前面两项内容：卫生的改善和抗生素的发明使用，所以which后的动词不用三单形式。 10.A该选项为固定搭配，意为对某种疾病的预防接种。
11.C前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强，后面说的是整体环境的改善，两者为并列关系，但是And在书面语中不能这样使用，所以只能选in addition.
12.D整句话的意思是：从基因角度看，人都能活到85岁，但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了，仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。
13.A those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病，those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。
14.C本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化，所以此处应选择younger的反义词。
15.B obesity是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因，它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系，而是因果关系，所以选择leading to，现在分词作结果状语。

The empty stretch of interstate gives way to urban congestion2, and Coyne hits the brakes as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him. But even if he hadn’t stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isn’t real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isn’t really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University3 (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.4 The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distracting — or whether any distractions are offset5 by the benefits drivers get from having help finding their way in unfamiliar locations.6 “We are looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers,” said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor lending the research, which involves measuring drivers reaction time and brain activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues7. The researchers just completed a study of the mental workload8 involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy

职称英语考试卫生类(C类)试题及答案6 Happy Therapy (诊疗) Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling. Then, after returning to tile United States from a busy and tiring trip to Russia, Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to cure his problems and he might never get over the illness. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to give up hope. Mr. Cousins thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness. He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for

2016职称英语教材-卫生类C级完形填空及参考译文1 第一篇Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is Found The World Health Organization1 estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis . Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it. The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Current treatments take at least six months. People have to take a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop as soon as they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-acting cure for tuberculosis would be more effective. Now a study estimates just how effective it might be. A professor of international health at Harvard University2 led the study. Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured. It would also mean fewer infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others. The researchers developed a mathematical model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan. They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia. The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases. And it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths. The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve. The World Health Organization reductions the DOTS3 program in nineteen ninety. DOTS is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course. Health workers watch tuberculosis patients take their daily pills to make sure they continue treatment. Earlier this year, an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expand the DOTS program. The ten-year plan also aims to finance research into new TB drugs. The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old. The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development4 says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses. 1.找到速效治疗剂可以更好控制结核病 世界卫生组织估计全球有大约三分之一的人感染了导致结核病的病菌。大多数时候，这种感染是不活跃的。但是每年大约有八百万结核病病例，通常是在肺部。两百万人因此丧命。结核病发病率由于艾滋病的传播和抗药型结核病的出现而增加。目前的治疗至少需要六个月。患病者不得不每日服用多种抗生素药品。许多人在稍感舒适后就停止使用药品，这么做可能导致抗药性感染。公共卫生专家一致认为针对结核病的速效治疗剂将会更加有效果。现在有一项研究评估这种速效治疗剂究竟效力有多大。这项研究由美国哈佛大学国际卫生方面的教授率领。Joshua Salomon说，疗程较短的治疗计划可能不仅仅意味着更多病人被治好，也意味着将感染传给别人的病人会更少。 研究者们设计了一个数学模型来检测两个月治疗计划的效果。他们以东南亚目前的结核病情况来检验这个模型。科学家们发现两个月的治疗可以防止大约20％的新病例，也可能防止大约5％因结核病引起的死亡。这个模型表明，如果速效治疗剂可以在2012年前研发出来并大规模使用的话，减少结核病例在2012年到2030年间就可以实现。 世界卫生组织在1990年制定了DOTS计划，DOTS意指短期直接观察治疗。卫生工作者监督结核病人每天服药，以确信他们继续治疗。今年年初，一个国际组织同盟宣布了一项扩大DOTS的计划。这个十年计划也旨在资助新结核药品的研究。现在四种最常用的药品也有四十多年的历史了。全球结核病药物开发联盟宣称它的长期目标是找到一种治疗方法，可以通过十次剂量就效果。

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案(3)
2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案 （3） “We hire talent. ” Those are the words of Rod Franz， a civil service computer technology director， responding to the question of opportunities for women who are interested in pursuing careers as computer technicians. On at least one of three shifts in his operation， the male-female ratio is 50-50. That is not surprising because government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers. What may be even more interesting to young women is that，according to Franz， private industry is hiring women and minorities away from us. And， since private industry pays more， it succeeds. Managers in the rapidly growing computer service field are quick to agree. They strongly encourage women to train for technician jobs， and they actively recruit female technicians across the country. They believe that this career field offers a wealth of possibility for women. A recent study by the Devry Institute of Technology that involved 100 employment managers in the Chicago area showed，too， that the number of women entering the field of computer science is on the rise， and that those already in the field are moving up. A significant increase in the number of women
