Heat and Health

　　Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world.Although hot weather just makes most people hot,it can cause medical problems-and death.

　　Health experts say that since the year 1900,extremely hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event.One year-the unusually hot summer of 1980-heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States.In 1995,more than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in one city-Chicago.

　　To measure extreme heat,govemment weather experts have developed the  Mean Heat Index.It measures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day.Experts say it is the total heat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health.Several hot days are considered a heat wave.Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.

　　The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress.Usually,it also is the least severe.For most peoople,the only result of heat stress is muscle pain.The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot.Doctors say drinking water will help the pain disappear after the body again has the right amounts of water and salt.For some people,however,the result is much more serious.

　　For example,doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat stress.These people have a weak or damaged heart,high blood pressure,or other problems of the blood system.Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke.Health experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.

Good Table Manners

　　Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table.Here are some general rules:

　　Napkin（餐巾）use

　　The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin.This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap.Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin,or in half,lengthwise（纵向地）,if it is a large dinner napkin.

　　If you need to leave the table during the meal,place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning.Once the meal is over,place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate.Do not refold it.

　　Use a napkin only for your mouth.Never use it for your nose,face or forehead.

　　Use of utensils（餐具）

　　Start with the knife,fork or spoon furthest from your plate,and work your way in,using one utensil for each course.

　　If soup is served,remember to spoon away from yoursefl.This helps stop the drips.Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth.Instead,fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup,and sip（啜饮）it from the side noiselessly.

　　After finishing dinner,place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife alade facing inward toward the plate.

　　Using your fingers

　　Here's a list of finger foods:sandwiches,cookies,small fruits or berries with stems,French fries and potato chips,and hamburgers.

　　Chew（咀嚼）with your mouth closed and don't make noise;don't talk with your mouth full.

Wayne Beno

　　Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease（帕金森氏病）.

　　"For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors（颤抖）.I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,"said Wayne.

　　Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation（刺激）（DBS）.DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson's disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.

　　In addition to his doctor's recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend's experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.

　　And was it ever.

　　"It was the best thing I ever did.I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all,"reports Wayne."Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I'm back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn't be any better!"

Farmers' Markets

　　Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.（46）

　　"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on fams it can be isolating,"she said."There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"

　　Oliver Robinson,25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.（47）"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice,straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young,ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson,farming doesn't offer much"in terms of money or lifestyle."Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards:"providing for a vital human need,while working outdoors with nature."

　　Farming is a big political issue in the UK.（48）The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.

　　Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells（带来）hope for farmers competing with  powerful supermarkets.（49）

　　"I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance（蔑视）of the big supermarkets.（50）It's terrible,"said Londoner Michael Samson.

　　ABut he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.

　　BWhile most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.

　　DYoung people prefer to live in cities.

　　F"Buy British"campaigns urge（鼓励）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.

　　The insurance plan（59）by the university costs about one thousand seven hundred dollars a year.Such health insurance（60）generally pay for hospital services,emergency room care and visits to doctors.They（61）do not pay for care of the teeth.And they usually do not pay for treatment of medical conditions that existed（62）the student arrived at school.

　　The school also offers a special International Student Insurance Plan.This pays for most of the services offered（65）the University Health Center that are not included in the health service fee.
