    [00:10.66]Listening I

    [00:13.90]Exercise 1

    [00:17.53]Directions:

    [00:20.27]Listen to the passage and answer the following Yes/Not questions.

    [00:27.40]The possibility that something bad will happen is a rise

    [00:32.33]Risk also can be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunite

    [00:40.57]All risks have possible negative resulte

    [00:45.36]However, some risks are worth taking

    [00:50.94]For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school team

    [00:57.67]You risk a possible injury while playing

    [01:02.42]to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team

    [01:09.01]You may decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the risk of injure

    [01:15.31]By being in good health, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.

    [01:22.15]How can we determine the risks involved in an action

    [01:27.95]Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied

    [01:33.85]Scientists use statistics to measure these risk

    [01:39.22]Statistics is a branch of mathematics

    [01:43.93]that helps determine the possibility that something will occue

    [01:49.91]The information about the possibility is called statistical risk

    [01:56.93]and can help you make healthy choices.

    [02:02.15]For example, statistics indicate that in the United States

    [02:09.49]the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent.

    [02:15.76]In other words, two out of every ten deaths are due to some kind of cancer

    [02:24.11]Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high

    [02:30.77]However, statistics also show

    [02:36.89]that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over whichyou have some control

    [02:45.24]In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancel

    [02:53.63]These include such things as avoiding pollution

    [02:59.24]not smoking, and eating a diet high in fiber

    [03:05.62]If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.

    [03:12.64]1 Is the passage mainly about risks from nature

    [03:20.70]2 Do all risks have possible negative results

    [03:28.58]3 Are all risks worth taking

    [03:34.92]4 Is it possible to measure some risks

    [03:41.83]5 Are most cancers related to one's unhealthy choices

    [03:50.62]Exercise 2

    [03:54.58]Directions:

    [03:58.18]Listen to the passage again and answer the following questions

    [04:04.19]by completing the sentences given.

    [04:09.34]1)What is a risk?

    [04:13.69]2)How can health risks be measured?

    [04:19.96]3)What is statistical risk?

    [04:25.82]4)What are the healthy choices mentioned in the passage?

    [04:32.30]Listening II

    [04:36.08]Exercise 1

    [04:39.36]Directions:

    [04:43.36]Listen to the conversation between a husband and a wife

    [04:48.54]Decide whether the following words or phrases are mentioned in the conversation

    [04:55.96]as factors which might influence one's life span

    [05:02.69]Put a tick beside the word or phrase if it is mentioned

    [05:08.48]Then decide which two are the highest risk factors.

    [05:15.97]H: Oh! It's unbelievable!

    [05:20.80]W: What's the matter?

    [05:24.36]H: This article says that life spans vary according to race

    [05:31.38]income level and whether you are male or female

    [05:37.18]Er now, can you guess which is the most important factor?

    [05:43.84]W: Mm, I think it might be your sex.

    [05:49.49]H: That's right

    [05:52.66]You see, my grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa

    [05:59.50]Generally speaking, women live longer than me

    [06:05.33]In 1993, the average life span of women was 6.9 years longer

    [06:14.36]than that of men in the United States.

    [06:19.40]W: 6.9 years? I can't believe it Then how about race?

    [06:27.54]H: Race... The paper says white women live 5.1 years longer than black women.

    [06:39.71]W: So this means I am doubly luckly since I am a white woman.

    [06:45.76]H; Yes. But actually the largest risk you could run--after being born male--

    [06:53.89]is being poor

    [06:57.67]Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking

    [07:03.32]drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.

    [07:09.80]W: That's true

    [07:13.19]If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions,

    [07:18.80]good medical care and good nutrition

    [07:24.06]But still I have a question

    [07:28.31]Why can women live longer than men?

    [07:33.10]H: I think you'd better ask the experts.

    [07:38.14]Exercise 2

    [07:41.77]Directions:

    [07:45.16]Listen to the conversation again
