In
modern
hospitals,
the
most
popular
treatment
for
bacterial
infection
is
antibiotics.
While these medicines are generally
highly effective in
(23)
the infection, one problem
is
that
over
a
period
of
time
bacteria
begin
to
mutate
—
change
their
structure
—
in
order
to
resist
the
antibiotics.
(24)
,
as
the
human
population
consumes
more
antibiotics,
the
infection-producing
(25)
become stronger
and more resistant to the drugs.
Another
reason
for
the
increased
consumption
of
antibiotics
is
that
doctors
often
prescribe
them
to
patients
too
(26)
.
Both
doctors
and
patients
prefer
treatment
providing fast relief, rather than
(27)
the body to
battle the infection by itself.
(28)
unnecessary
prescriptions
are
not
the
only
source
of
antibiotics.
They
have
been
increasingly
(29)
on
farms,
where
chickens
and
pigs
are
frequently
fed
antibiotics
to
combat disease.
The

In any group of elderly people, it is
common to see some women who are unable to stand
completely upright.
Their backs and heads are bent forward
slightly, as if they were carrying
a
heavy load.
This is usually
a sign of a bone problem that has developed over a
number of
years, a problem called
osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis literally
means porous bones
—
bones
that are filled with tiny holes.
Our
bones
are
in
a
constant
state
of
change,
continuously
broken
down
and
rebuilt
through
the
body’s chemical processes.
Two kinds of cells are
impor
tant in these processes:
osteoclasts
and osteoblasts.
Osteoclasts renew the old
bone by dissolving or reabsorbing it; this leaves
an empty space.
Osteoblasts then fill this empty space
with new bone.
When the rate of bone
renewal doesn’t equal the rate o
f
breakdown, bone loss results.
When the bone loss becomes advanced, it
is called osteoporosis.
The
bones don’t actually
change shape with
osteoporosis; rather, they become porous, and
therefore are more likely to
break.
Often
the
first
sign
of
osteoporosis
is
a
bone
fracture
following
a
minor
fall
or
accident.
33. What is the main
subject of the article?
A.
Treatment for osteoporosis
B.
Exercise and osteoporosis
C.
Description of
osteoporosis
D.
Prevention
of osteoporosis
34. What
causes osteoporosis?
A.
Carrying heavy loads
B.
Poor standing posture
C.
Too many broken bones
D.
Insufficient bone renewal
35. What happens during osteoporosis?
A.
The bones change shape.
B.
The bones become spongy.
C.
The osteoblasts fill the
bone with holes.
D.
The
osteoclasts stop dissolving the bone.
