③ While I know something about the history of my parents’health--my father had prostate cancer at a
relatively young age and suffered from macular degeneration and Parkinson's disease, and my
mother died of lung cancer--there's plenty I don't know. What were my parents’ cholesterol numbers and
blood pressures? I assume I would have known if either suffered from diabetes, but I can't swear to that.
And when it comes to my grandparents, whose genes I also have,I'm even more in the dark.

Passage Two
① Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test

4
this theory, psychologists are trying to find a link between the brain and the immune system.
② Our bodies are likely to get various diseases and it depends on how well our immune system works.
Biologists used to think that the immune system was a separate, independent part of our bodies.
Recently, however, they have found that our brain can affect our immune system. This discovery
indicates that there may be a connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression,
and illness.

developed cold sores
⑤ In addition to these results, which support their theory, researchers are also looking for proof
that stress can damage the immune system. Researchers studied recently bereaved people, i.e.,
people whose loved ones have just died, because they are more likely to become ill or die. By examining
the immune system of recently bereaved people, the researchers made an important discovery. They
examined some white blood cells which are an important part of the immune system. They were
not functioning properly. The fact that they were not working correctly indicates that severe
psychological stress, such as a loved one's death, may damage an important part of our immune

Passage Three

① Japan is one of the planet's oldest societies, pipped only by tiny Monaco for the proportion of elderly in
the population. Lengthening life expectancy is a boon for millions of Japanese retirees leading full lives. But
it also means a sharp increase in the numbers suffering from dementia. Who, asks Florian Coulmas, an
expert on Japanese ageing, should accept responsibility for people unable to articulate their own interests
or care for themselves?

公 Phone and car companies have made products with simpler, more intuitive functions.
④ Policy lags, however. Public funding for long-term care for the elderly was the equivalent of just 1.2% of
GDP in 2010 versus 3.7% in the Netherlands, according to the most recent OECD comparison. One
reason is that relatives are still the main caregivers in Japan, says Miharu Nakanishi of the Tokyo
Metropolitan institute of Medical Science. Family members often quit work and burn through savings to
look after senile parents.
⑤ Undaunted, the prime minister, promises that Japan will become an example to the world in dealing
with senility. Among his promises is better funding for research into Alzheimer's disease and more money
to train 60,000 doctors in its early diagnosis. But much more should be done, including lowering the

6
immigration barriers that keep out foreign care workers (which the president shows little sign of doing). Ms
Nakanishi says the entire national strategy for dealing with dementia is fragmented. Above all, she says,
the government has failed properly to consult with those who actually take care of the elderly.

admitted to hospital
② Second-hand smoke from a burning cigarette is far more noxious than the nicotine-infused fumes inhaled
by the smoker. In the minutes after a neighbor has lit a cigarette, a passive smoker’s chances of suffering
an immediate heart attack rise rapidly as toxins in the fug make his blood stickier. His long-term risk also
rises, as narrowing arteries threaten him with heart disease and his chances of developing lung cancer and
numerous other nasties also increase.
③ Anna Gilmore of the University of Bath and her colleagues looked at how many people were admitted
to hospital with a heart attack in England between 2002 and 2008. About 110,000 people are struck down

7
each year: almost a fifth of them die before they reach hospital, and a further tenth within a month of going
into one. Ms Gilmore and her team found that, in the 12 months after the smoking ban came into force some
1,200 fewer people were admitted to hospital with heart attacks than even the prevailing downward trend
had suggested was likely. That drop of 2.4% saved millions of pounds in emergency hospital care.

① Eating disorders are a range of psychiatric conditions characterized by these main patterns of
behavior: restricting food intake, bingeing, or rapidly consuming large amounts of food, and purging or
eliminating calories through vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise, and other harmful means. An eating
disorder can involve any one or any combination of these behaviors. For example, people living with

characterized by recurrent binges and purges.

They may use eating to try to regain some control over an internal sense of chaos.
④ We still don’t know exactly what causes eating disorders. There likely isn’t a single cause, but a
combination of genetic and environmental risk factors that contribute. Sometimes, other mental
illnesses-like depression or anxiety-can cause symptoms of eating disorders. In addition, certain
psychological factors, such as perfectionism and body image dissatisfaction, are risk factors for eating
disorders. Several social factors contribute, too, including internalized weight stigma, exposure to bullying,
racial and ethnic assimilation, and limited social networks. Although there is a common misconception
that only women experience eating disorders, people of all genders can be affected. As these disorders

③ Much of this is hypothetical-but Al is already outperforming people in a variety of narrow jobs for which
it has been trained. Eventually it may be able to diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. Ever then,
Dr.Topol thinks, humans would oversee the algorithms, rather than being replaced by them.
④ The fear, for some people, is that Al will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine.
If it confers a “gift of time” on doctors, he argues that this bonus should be used to prolong consultations,
rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.
⑤ That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is
exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies
may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting

10
with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The Al revolution will also empower managerial beancounters,
who will increasingly be able to calibrate and appraise every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the
doctor will inevitably be undermined, especially, perhaps, in public-health systems which are duty-bound
to trim inessential costs.
