Men’ s Health
If you’ re a male and you’ re reading this, congratulations: you’ re a survivor. According to statistics , you’ re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman and more than nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you’ll die on average five years before a woman.
There’ re many reasons for this—typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly, men don’ t go to the doctor.
" Men aren’ t seeing doctors as often as they should, " says Dr. Gullotta. " This is particularly so for those over 40, when diseases tend to strike. " Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’ s cough for a year. " When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer, " he says. "Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged (延长) his life. "
According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40 see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they’ re invincible (不可战胜的) , " Gullotta says. "They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, ’ Geez, if it could happen to him...’ " Then there’s the ostrich approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, " says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
" Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies, " Cartmill says.
He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitable place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.
" But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost far greater; it’s called premature death. "
Regular check-ups only cost the individuals and the government needn’ t pay for that.
选项
A、TRUE
B、FALSE
C、Not Given
答案
B
解析
题干要求判断定期体检是否仅仅花的是个人的钱,政府不用为此买单。最后一段提到了“Regular check-ups for men would inevitable place strain on the public purse”,意思是“定期检查不可避免地会给政府的钱包增加负担”,所以政府还是要为此买单的,所以题干中的表述是错误的。
