(1)While there’s never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric(小儿科的)cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.
(2)In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she’s discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.
(3)Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict." Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.
(4)Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn’t funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her(Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she even makes second opinions sound fun("cancer road trips," she calls them).
(5)She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes, "There are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for."
(6)Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" so loud you neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your illness. "People you tell are going to cautiously and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle," she writes.
(7)While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.
All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _____.
选项
A、Kris Carr is a female writer
B、Kris Carr is more than 31-year-old
C、Kris Carr works in a cancer center
D、Kris Carr is very optimistic
答案
C
解析
C说卡尔在一家癌病中心工作,但文章没有提及卡尔就职于何处,因此C无原文依据,为本题答案。由第2段第1句中的writer Kris Carr…及she可知,Carr是一位女性作家,故排除A。第2段第2句提到,Carr发现患癌症时是31岁,而“发现癌症”是在出书之前,因此卡尔现已不止31岁,故排除B。D是概括性内容,第2段第1句提到她对待死亡就像探索生命一般;第4段提到Ms.Carr often is(funny);第5段的直接引语提到她refused to let cancer ruin party。据此判断她是一个乐观积极的人,故D也排除。
