写出下列词语的近义词暖和 慰藉 猛厉神奇 确实 答案:【1】温暖【2】安慰【3】猛烈【4】神秘【5】翔实
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 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 in
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 health. People who are
well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of
monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, 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 ways in which
people face the challenges of daily life.
