Breaking the News about Your Diagnosis
1 When I was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly a year ago．I found myself at a loss for words at first．Over time，however，I developed some pointers(点子)，which I hope will help others．
2 During the first few weeks of emotional” aftershocks”(余悸)from the diagnosis，I found myself unable to utter the word” cancel’．Still。1 wanted to share the news with my relatives and friends who already knew that I’d had a biopsy(活检)and were anxiously awaiting my telephone call．I did the best l could。which is all anyone can do in this situation．When I called them，I said，“What we feared has happeneD.”They immediately knew what I meant．
3 Nearly a year after my diagnosis．I find myself more comfortable telling people “I was diagnosed with cancer” instead of saying have cancer．”0n some deep level．I don’t want t0“own”this illness。Choose language that suits you when you share your news．And keep in mind that there is no one “right” way of doing this．
4 Most peoplE.after hearing your announcement，will be Curious about the next step。They may wonder if you will be undergoing radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy(化疗)．They may wonder where and when you will have surgery．Answer their questions as best you can．but keep in mind that” I don’t know right now”or“I’m still in too much shock to think about that”are good answers．
5 Wait until the initial wave of strong emotions has passed before telling the children in your lifE.Don’t overwhelm(使不知所措)very young children with too much information．Assure them that，even if you will be in the hospital for a while。they will see you every day and they will be cared for．Older, children may already fear the word “cancer”，SO be prepared to reassure them．Emphasize the positive steps that doctors will be taking to treat your illness．

根据下列材料请回答 46～50 题：What’s Lacking in ‘Sicko’?When it comes to economic decisions，there are always tradE.offs(取舍)．Gain one thing and you lose something elsE._________(46)The central argument of Michael Moore’s movie“Sicko”一that the cure to the nation’s health care problems is a single—payer system—is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration，whether or not you agree with it．But in comparing the American system with single—payer plans of other countries—Britain，France，Canada and Cuba—Mr．Moore left out the trade?offs，characterizing those countries as health care paradises．_________(47)Kurt Loder，the film critic who is best known as the anchor(主持人)of“MTV News，” wrote a critique(批评)of the film for MTV’s websitE.“Sicko” he said。“does a real service”in portraying(描绘)victims of American insurance companies—like the people who died because their only treatment、options were considered“experimental”and therefore not covereD._________ (48)When “governments attempt to regulate the—balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it，they’re inevitably forced to ration treatment，Mr．Loder asserteD._________ (49)Mr．Loder cited the short film“Dead Meat，”which presents anecdotes(轶事)of failure in the Canadian single—payer system．In its one—sidedness，“Dead Meat”might have made for a nice double feature with“Sicko．”and left movie—goers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system。_________ (50)This all makes an otherwise “emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one；”wrote Darren Barefoot，a Canadian blogger(博客作者)．A.Mr Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries，like France’s high taxes and Britain’S cash—short hospitals．B.But the film as a whole，he concluded，is “breathtakingly meretricious(似是而非的)，”in large part because of its characterizations of other countries’ health care systems．C.The problems have been noticed—and criticism is coming not just from Mr-Moore’s detractors(诋毁者)．D.He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offeredby Mr．MoorE.E.Health care is the prevention，treatment，and management of illness.F.This is particularly true in health care，a market in which scarce(稀罕的)goods are ridiculously expensive，but needed by everybody．第 46 题请选择（46）处最佳答案。
