Being skeptical of the true effectiveness of the drugs, she says she was originally interested in researching t
12、he impact of placebos. But over the years, her own data began convincing her otherwise. “Ive come to see now, by doing the research myself and spending hours looking at numbers, that the medication is absolutely doing something,“ Hunter says.In an earlier study that Hunter published in 2009, she and
13、 her team used the same QEEG technique on 58 patients, who were given a placebo daily for one week before being randomized to take either placebo or an active drug. Researchers found distinct patterns of brain activity in the patients; not everyone responded to the placebo the same way. “We found th
14、at changes in brain function occurring during the first week of placebo predicted who will do well on medication,“ she says.The region where changes were recordedin the prefrontal lobeis thought to be involved in generating expectations. A common explanation for the placebo effect is that the mere a
15、nticipation of improvement begets real benefit. But in the case of Hunters patients, the changes in brain activity predicted actual response to the antidepressant , not to placebo.Intriguingly, in patients who showed the specific brain response associated with antidepressant-related recovery, the mo
16、st significant improvement was seen in what psychologists call interpersonal sensitivity how people respond to either positive or negative social events. When suffering from depression, patients tend to become inured to positive social cues and oversensitized to negative ones. They may interpret a p
17、asserbys frown as being directed at them, for instance, and some research has found that depressed people are more likely to misidentify smiling faces as conveying neutral or negative emotions. The patients who improved with medication in Hunters study “were less sensitive to rejection and more comf
18、ortable with others,“ she says.Reducing emotional sensitivitynot treating depression per seis what medications like Prozac, which affect the levels of serotonin in the brain, do best, according to Healy. If that entire class of drugs had been studied and marketed as pills to reduce emotional reactiv
19、ity rather than depression, he says, “the placebo response would be very small compared to the drug. “Still, treating a patients oversensitivity does not necessarily help depression. For some people whose illness is marked by social dread and misperceived rejections, reducing that anxiety could be c
20、ritical. But for someone whose depression is primarily experienced as deep sadness and inability to feel pleasure, blunting emotional sensitivity may do little good. These differences further explain why the drugs may produce such varied individual responses.Evidence suggests that about 80% of peopl
21、e with depression can be helped by drugs, talk therapy or a combination of the two, so although it is critical to figure out which treatments work for which patients, the larger question remains: Why arent most patients getting good care, and why do we continue to insist that so many of those taking
22、 antidepressants dont really need them?(分数:10.00)(1).At the beginning of her research, HunterA could not distinguish antidepressants from placebos.B found medication was of no use to depressed patients.C did not believe antidepressants could really help patients.D did not use the right medical instr

The revival in consumer confidence was reflected in the higher proportion of incomes spent for goods and services and
28、 the marked increase in consumer willingness to take on installment debt. A parallel strengthening in business psychology was manifested in a stepped-up rate of plant and equipment spending and a gradual pickup in expenses for inventory. Confidence in the economy was also reflected in the strength o
29、f the stock market and in the stability of the bond market. For the year as a whole, consumer and business sentiment benefited from the ease in East-West tensions.The bases of the business expansion were to be found mainly in the stimulative monetary and fiscal policies that had been pursued. Moreov
30、er, the restoration of sounder liquidity positions and tighter management control of production efficiency had also helped lay the groundwork for a strong expansion. In addition, the economic policy moves made by the President had served to renew optimism on the business outlook while boosting hopes
31、 that inflation would be brought under more effective control. Finally, of course, the economy was able to grow as vigorously as it did because sufficient leeway existed in terms of idle men and machines.The United States balance of payments deficit declined sharply. Nevertheless, by any other test,
32、 the deficit remained very large, and there was actually a substantial deterioration in our trade account to a sizable deficit, almost two-thirds of which was with Japan. While the overall trade performance proved disappointing, there are still good reasons for expecting the delayed impact of devalu
33、ation to produce in time a significant strengthening in our trade picture. Given the size of the Japanese component of our trade deficit, however, the outcome will depend importantly on the extent of the corrective measures undertaken by Japan. Also important will be our own efforts in the United St
34、ates to fashion internal policies consistent with an improvement in our external balance.The underlying task of public policy for the year ahead-and indeed for the longer run-remained a familiar one: to strike the right balance between encouraging healthy economic growth and avoiding inflationary pr
35、essures. With the economy showing sustained and vigorous growth, and with the currency crisis highlighting the need to improve our Competitive posture internationally, the emphasis seemed to be shifting to the problem of inflation. The Phase Three program of wage and price restraint can contribute t
36、o reducing inflation. Unless productivity growth is unexpectedly large, however, the expansion of real output must eventually begin to slow down to the economys larger run growth potential if generalized demand pressures on prices are to be avoided.

Hurricanes, tidal waves, floods, earthquakes and terrorism this year have all brought with them not only appalling scenes of devastation, death and suffering, but
42、also outrage at the lack of preparations to avoid or cope with these disasters. Now even the birds of the air are a threat, we are told. That migrating flock visible on the horizon at sunset, once a consoling reminder of the eternal rhythms of nature, could be carrying the virus which might soon kil
43、l tens of millions of people. Given the many fingers pointed at governments in the wake of other disasters this year, it is hardly surprising that they are scrambling to respond to the threat posed by avian influenza. After confirmation this week that the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has been spre
44、ading quickly in Asia, had been discovered in Romania and perhaps Greece, European Union foreign ministers convened an emergency meeting. President George Bush, still smarting from a torrent of criticism of his governments clumsy response to Hurricane Katrina, has promised to rush out emergency plan
45、s for dealing with an outbreak of pandemic flu which have been stalled for years. Countries around the world are hurrying to stockpile the only current antiviral drug, Tamiflu, which might be effective in saving lives in any pandemic or curbing its spread. The World Health Organisation is calling fo
46、r an internationally co-ordinated effort. Health ministers from around the globe are due to meet next week in Canada to discuss what steps to take. Is any of this effort justified? Or are politicians simply helping to feed public panic, and then covering themselves by promising to spend lavishly aga
47、inst a threat which may never materialize and to reduce a risk which they do not understand? To ask these questions is not to counsel complacency, but to apply the kind of test which is required in any kind of disaster planning, not least because the world is an inherently dangerous place and it is
48、impossible to plan against every possible disaster. With the media full of warnings of impending mass death, an overreaction is all too possible.(分数:10.00)(1).It can be inferred from the first paragraph that_. A strong resentment resulted from the lack of preparations to cope with recent disasters B
