[单项选择]Rich or poor, American Indians in Cities across the country are facing startling health challenges unlike those of any other urban population, according to a new study of federal data.
Even as urban American Indians move up the income ladder, researchers found rates of binge drinking and tobacco use in the community are staying the same—or sometimes even increasing— in cities from New York to Helena, Mont. "When Indian folks drink, it appears to have nothing to do with how much money they have, and that’s not true for any other racial group," said Maile Taualii, scientific director at the Seattle-based Urban Indian Health Institute, which announced the findings March 5. " There seems to be a sense of hopelessness, a sense that diabetes, alcoholism and other health problems are inevitable in the community. "

Sigmund Freud, the world-famous doctor of Vienna, was a thinker who changed the way we look at mental trouble. He was also a man of courage.
Once Freud was walking down a dark street, he was met by two robbers who wanted to rob him. This was back in 1890. Freud took his stick by the tip and beat off the robbers.
Freud did not lose cool when the Nazis (纳粹分子) came to his house. The Nazi soldiers found 1500 shillings in a drawer. Their officer put the money in his pocket and was about to leave.
"You’re very lucky." said Dr. Freud.
"Why " asked the young officer.
"Well," said Freud. "I’ve been a doctor here in Vienna for forty years, and I never got 1500 shillings for just one visit."

[填空题]Abbey:
You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!
Marlin:
I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don’t eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them.
