Focus on preventing disease
As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease-especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels ok but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called "well". In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "wellness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body’s condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be "well", in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.
What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?
选项
A、To criticize the traditional view of the medical care.
B、To compare the differences between the modern medical care and the traditional medical care.
C、To tell us the change of the focus of medical care.
D、To tell us the importance of the medical care.
答案
C
解析
主旨题。文章第一段提出医疗保健的焦点由疾病治疗到疾病的预防,第二段首先阐述了传统医疗观点和现在医疗观点对健康的定义,之后依据现在医疗观点给健康做出了更积极的定义,可见C符合题意。A“旨在批判传统的医疗观点”是对原文的曲解,原文只是提出新的观点对于传统的医学并没有批驳;B“旨在对比传统和现在医疗观点的不同”不是本文的写作目的,比较的目的在于强调现在的医疗观;D“旨在告诉我们医疗保健的重要性”并未提及。
