Ann Best:
Your special report on new medicines showed there is thrilling promise in future "cures" for so many diseases that threaten mankind. But how will ordinary folks pay for these modern miracles? One drug company is hopeful that the savings involved in developing these medicines "will translate into pure profit for investors. " This can only result in a problem for me: Shall I buy food, pay the rent or get the medicines I need?
Tom Waken:
As a citizen who has been critical of drug companies because of the high drug price, I found that your report about the new medicines has softened my stand. The companies say they have to charge more for their drugs so they can do research for better medicines. Now that I’ve read about the newer and better drugs, I will gladly go on paying for my medications, knowing I am making a good investment in better living.
Robert H. Kamm:
We all want to live longer and healthier lives, but taking pills to rescue us from our self - abusive lifestyle only masks real problems and ends up costing us billions of dollars a year. We ought to be investing at least as much in trying to discover why millions of us behave in ways that are not in our best interest—smoking, drinking, overworking, under-exercising and generally doing things that are bad for our health.
John J. Bagshaw:
The cost of poor health is shocking and goes well beyond dollars. But the approach that offers the best solution, reduces risk, cuts demand and gets people healthy and fit is prevention. The U. S. is a nation of chronic diseases. It will get much worse, because we never deal with the causes. Individual Americans need to bring this issue to a boil and keep it there until we get a health-care system based on prevention.
Laurel Woods:
While I applaud the research being done in the field of medicine, I am also aware that good things can go bad in an instant. I have heart disease, and I had a negative reaction to a new treatment; the result was a long hospital stay. We should remember that caution has to be applied when being treated with a new medicine. Nothing will replace the human element that must be present in a caring medical community.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Prevention should always come before treatment.
[B] A new medical treatment needs to be administered with caution.
[C]Pills often perform miracles on people who take them.
[D] A change of behavior counts more than reliance on drugs.
[E]However good the new drugs, their affordability is first and foremost.
[F]New drugs should not be put onto the market until proven effective.
[G]Drug companies are justified to sell their products at higher prices.

选项
答案
D
解析
主旨题。罗伯特·卡姆认为身体不健康主要是自己不良的生活习惯导致的,如果改变自己生活方式的话,也不用花那么钱去买药。这与D项“改变生活习惯比吃药更值得信赖”,表示的意思相同,故选D。
