While there’s never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peer, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.
In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she’s discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rate form of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.
Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict". Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice, and fashion tips, among other things.
Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn’t funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her(Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she calls them.
She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. "There are just too many cooling things to do and plan and live for." Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" so loud your neighbors call the police. Ms Can-also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your life about your illness. "People you tell are going to cautiously and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle, " she writes.
While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to her heart of what every cancer patient wants the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.
From Kris Carr’s cancer tips we may infer that______
选项
A、she learned to use e-mails after she got cancer.
B、she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancer.
C、hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colors.
D、the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patients.
答案
C
解析
本题信息点是Kris Carr’s cancer tips,要解答此题我们必须在文章中阅读查找该信息点。在文章第六段涉及到她的抗癌小贴士:1)using time—saving mass e—mails to keep friends informed“群发邮件让朋友们随时知道她的近况”;2)sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or gray“缝制或购者买些时髦的病号服,这样就不用一直穿着医院里通用的那种规规矩矩的蓝灰色病号服了”;3)playing Gloria Gaynor’s“I Will Survive”“大声播放葛洛莉亚·盖诺的单曲“浴火重生””;4)an eye brow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your life about your illness“让你在乎的人了解你的病情时要事先修修眉,换件新外套”等。A项明显是偷换概念;B项推理过度,文章中只是提及“自己缝制或者买些时髦的病号服”:C项的表述符合第_个建议中的内容,为本题答案;D项属于无中生有,文中没有关于邻居与癌症患者关系的信息。
