15、ice questions. Read the passage and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.BTEXT A/BWhen I decided to quit my full. time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me

16、 to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family“.Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment ill what the Americans term “downshifting“ has

17、 turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all“, preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the page of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.I have discovered, as

18、perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life“, and making the alternative move into “downshifting“ brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Noth

19、ing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed: 12 hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time“.In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less material

20、istic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting also known in America as “voluntary simplicity“has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism, There are a number of best-selling downshifting self-help books for people who want to simplify their lives; there a

21、re newsletters, such as The Tightwad Gazette, that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their cling-film to making their own soap; there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid-90 s equivalent of dropping out.While in America the trend

22、started us a reaction to the economic decline after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late 80s and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle-class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.For t

23、he women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the 80s, downshifting in the mid-90s is ant so much a search for the mythical good life growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one as personal recognition of your limitations.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following

In a real sense, the term “unappro

29、ved“ is a misnomer because it includes in one phrase two categories of marketed drugs that are very different; drugs which are potentially harmful and will never be approved, and already approved drugs that have “unapproved“ uses.

However, because medical literature on new uses exists and these uses arc medically beneficial, physicians often use these drugs for such purposes prior to FDA review or changes in labeling. This is referred to as “unlabeled uses“ of drugs.A different problem arises when a particular use

33、 for a drug has been examined scientifically and has been found to be ineffective or unsafe, and yet physicians who either are uninformed or who refuse to accept the available scientific evidence continue to use the drug in this way. Such use may have been reviewed by the FDA and rejected, or, in so

34、me cases, the use may actually be warned against in the labeling. This subset of uses may be properly termed “disapproved uses.“Government policy should minimize the extent of unlabeled uses. If such uses are validand many areit is important that scientifically sound evidence supporting them be gene

Continuing rapid advances in medical care and the complexity of drug usage, however, makes it impossible for the government to keep drug labeling up to date for every conceivable situation. Thus, when a particular use of this

36、type appears, it is also important, and in the interest of good medical cure, that no stigma be attached to “unapproved usage“ by practitioners while the formal evidence is assembled between the time of discovery and the time the new use is included in the labeling. In the case of “disapproved uses,

37、“ however, it is proper policy to warn against these in the package insert, whether use of a drug for these purposes by the uninformed or intransigent physician constitutes a violation of the current Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act is a matter of debate that involves a number of technical and le

Regardless of that, the inclusion of disapproved uses in the form of contraindications, warnings and other precautionary statements in package inserts is an important practical deterrent to improper use. Except for clearly disapproved uses, however, it is in the best interests of patient
